This is to express my sincere appreciation for the consideration and services provided me on November 3, 2011 by your Mr. Ken Peltz. At this time I purchased a 2007 Ford Focus SES from your dealership. I traded a 2003 Dodge Neon which was titled in my granddaughter’s name, Ms. Marie Reed, and it took considerable effort on Mr. Peltz’s part to deal with all the details. He was very considerate in all of his effort to assure a satisfactory conclusion with all concerned. Although the 2007 Focus is titled in my name the car will be used by Maria and kept at her residence. This is not our first experience with Mr. Peltz. In July 2010, my wife Ellen, and I purchased a new 2010 Ford Focus for my wife and the following month in August 2010, we purchased a new 2010 Ford Focus for my daughter, Ms. Karen Reed. Mr. Peltz was most considerate and helpful in all the matters in these purchases. In our November 3rd, purchase, Mr. Peltz stayed past his usual quitting time as my granddaughter did not arrive at your dealership when we expected her and he assisted her in her transfer of her personal items from her car being traded and took time to assure that my granddaughter was happy with this 2007 Ford Focus. - Robert, 2007 Ford Focus SES, Reynoldsburg, Ohio
Dr Mr. Bonanno: I wanted to take this opportunity, on behalf of our Operation Feed team and Kitchen Cabinet steering committee, to express to Jim Keim Ford, Inc for being a partner with the 2011 Operation Feed Campaign, the Foodbank’s annual community-wide food and fund drive. Because of your associated and the coordination efforts of Louis Pellisser III, 500 meals were raised to help members of community in need. 2011 was a solid year for Operation Feed. In the midst of an uncertain economic climate, a record number of local groups rallied around the cause resulting in another very successful community-wide campaign effort. Thanks to your organization’s commitment to fighting hunger, this year’s drive raised over 4.25 million meals for center and eastern Ohio families. The meals that your organization helped raise will stock the shelves of hundreds of food panties, soup kitchens and emergency shelters providing more than 51,000 meals each day to ensure that no one in our community has to face hunger. Mid-Ohio Foodbank could not possible achieve this level of impact without the ongoing support, commitment and determination of our local partners. The effort of all our “campaign champions” is truly outstanding, and we recognize them proudly at www.midohiofootbank.org. As we started throughout the 2011 Campaign, when everyone does a little, the Foodbank can do a lot! This year’s Operation Feed drive proves that together we can work to improve the lives of our citizens. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to fighting hunger in central and eastern Ohio. We look forward to participating with Jim Keim Ford again in the spring with the continued goal of raising more meals and improving more lived each year. Operation Feed 2012 will begin in March and run through June. Please reaffirm your organization’s commitment by encouraging your 2012 Campaign Coordinator to visit http://www.midohiofoodbank.org/act/operation-feed/register. - Operation Foodbank, Columbus, Ohio

Honesty and concern that my vehicle is care for properly are greatly appreciated, The service manager and member of the vehicle sales staff that I work with are the reason I keep making the ½ hour trip from my location to Jim Keim Ford, although another dealership is closer to me.

I had a completely positive experience when buying my car. Bob Kistler did an excellent job informing me of all aspects of the purchase. - Helen, 2012 Escape Owner, Columbus, Ohio

It felt good to buy a car from a company that did not take a hand out from Uncle Sam. The Escape is head and shoulders above the Honda Accord we traded in. It is the 13th Ford I’ve owned starting with a 29’ Coupe. Good to be back in another one. - John, 2011 Escape Owner, Grove City, Ohio
Barry Thompson was great to deal with. This is the second vehicle I have purchased from Barry. When the time comes from another vehicle, he’ll be the first one to get the chance to sell me another car. - William, 2011 Fusion Owner, Columbus, Ohio
I’m a repeat customer. When we decided to purchase a vehicle, I didn’t bother looking anywhere else because of the experience I had with Dale Houghtlen throughout my last purchase. Once again, he was able to meet and exceed my expectations. - Ben, 2011 Edge Owner, Marysville, Ohio
Our reason for purchasing from Jim Keim was not only the sales experience but your excellent service department. - Tim and Mariana, 2011 Escape and 2011 Fusion Owners, Hilliard, Ohio
Bob was great! He was very helpful, informative, and non pushy. He made the buying experience a real pressure. I would recommend Bob and Jim Keim to friends and family. - Tiffany, 2011 Escape Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Eric Beck was recommended by my friend who bought a truck from Jim Keim Ford. Just a plain nice guy who makes you feel important. I would recommend him to anyone. - William, 2011 F 150 Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Our salesman Eric Beck was terrific. He stayed late after the dealership closed to show us extra features on the Escape. Eric took the time to SYNC our wireless phone with the car system, making ease of use. He asked questions about where we worked to get extra discounts for our purchase and to make sure we had enough horsepower to pull our small trailer. Best salesman we have had in 30 years at a Ford Dealership, and we only buy Ford and Mercury vehicles. - Stephen, 2011 Escape Owner, Reynoldsburg, Ohio

Our new F 150 exceeds our expectations, it is a pleasure to own and we hope to have it for many years. - Stephen, 2011 F 150 Owner, Hilliard, Ohio
Everything from the initial contact via instant messaging to our arrival at the dealership was efficient, friendly, low pressure. Our sales consultant, James Cabiness, and all people we came in contact with at the dealership exceeded our expectations. We like our new car very much and would (and probably will) return to Jim Keim Ford in the future.- Robert, 2011 Fusion Owner, Columbus, Ohio
I love my new Ford Edge! Our Sales Rep, Dale, was patient with my Husband and I as we test drove several vehicles off the lot and had many questions about each car. When we did make a decision Dale had the car ready, Finances ready, and tags for my new car too! Al in time to go to the hospital for a scheduled delivery. - Kaitlain, 2011 Edge Owner, Marysville, Ohio

My salesperson Bob Kistler and Kevin Martin at Jim Keim Ford were top notch! They handled everything from start to finish and I am pleased with everything. Thank you! - Karla, 2011 F 150 Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Bob Kistler was very easy to work with. He was a caring, concerned salesman who showed his desire to please me as he dealt with me.

Thanks for helping us in our selection. - Melvin, 2012 Escape Owner, Hilliard, Ohio

John Lee was a great salesperson. He was friendly, non pressuring, knowledgeable and overall very nice. I would recommend any of my friends and family to use John. - Nicole, 2011 Explorer Owner, Columbus, Ohio
We purchased a new 2010 Ford Edge in April 2010 and when the time came to replace our 2006 Volkswagen Passat, we decided to check out the new Fusion, especially with the excellent incentives being offered. We purchased the car from the same salesperson we purchased the Edge from, Kevin Martin, who is also an avid Ford fan, which makes the experience of purchasing from him all that more rewarding. We thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated our buying experience. On top of that, this 2011 Fusion Sport has brought many compliments from a wide variety of people, more than any car my wife or I have ever owned previously and we’ve had quite a few different cars. Everywhere I go it seems another person is admiring the car and complimenting me on it. Jim Keim Ford is a great place to purchase, which is clear by the fact that this is our second car in a year from the same place and same salesperson.- Timothy, 2011 Fusion Owner, Grove City, Ohio
This was by far the best car buying experience my husband and I have ever had. It was the first time we had visited this facility and we were impressed on how friendly the entire staff that we dealt with and how well we were treated. - Deborah, 2012 Focus Owner, West Jefferson, Ohio
Ken Peltz was the only salesperson from the Columbus are (I visited several Ford dealers in the area) who suggested that I order the car that I wanted. He did a nice job of going through the various accessories (i.e. sports package, sync package, etc.) so that I will get my dream car. He took his time so I better understood all the gadgets. Being a first time buyer, I really appreciate his efforts so that I as comfortable with making purchase. - Kara, 2012 Focus Owner, Grove City, Ohio
Ken Peltz was wonderful and half the reason I chose to buy a Ford. Many dealers would not talk to me as an older woman they wanted to talk to my husband (I don’t have one). Thank you Ken. - Sandra, 2011 Fusion Owner, Hilliard, Ohio
The salesperson Ken Peltz was very knowledgeable and professional during the whole sale. You couldn’t ask for a better person. Jason the finance manager was very knowledgeable with is explanation of the paper work and got me through the experience. Two great people Jim Keim Ford should be proud of. I have already referred two people to Jim Keim Ford. - Gil, 2011 Explorer Owner, Columbus, Ohio
I had a great experience with Jim Keim Ford. I will definitely come back in the future if I need a new vehicle. Ken Peltz’s service was outstanding. He was with me every step of the way and made sure all my questions were answered. - Bret, 2011 Fusion Owner, Columbus, Ohio
After keeping my salesperson, Barry Thompson, in a hot parking lot of new trucks for over 3 hours and test driving 2 vehicles, and then deciding on a third. He never lost his smile or professionalism, and answered every question without hesitation. I will recommend to others and be back for my next purchase. Great Job Barry!- John, 2011 F 150 Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Pete is very courteous and helpful. He goes out of his way to please a customer and is an asset to this organization. - Patricia, 2011 Fiesta Owner, Columbus, Ohio

Thank you for making a WONDERFUL American product!- Wendy, 2008 Escape Owner, West Jefferson, Ohio
Many thanks for great Jim Keim Ford service on my 2009 Ford Explorer; I appreciate that the wiper motor unit is replaced and the problem is solved. Jim Keim Ford service department deserves an A+++ rating. - Rich, 2009 Explorer Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Pete Harper and Pete Plagman have always taken care of my needs. I am the one customer you hate, I’m very picky about my cars and I strongly believe in preventative maintenance. This shop has always kept me on the road with no break downs. I recently had one of my other cars in for its 30K service they did all services the car needed and got it back to me right away. The cost was close to $500 when I left that day I knew I could take that car anywhere in the USA with no problems. I don’t mind paying for a service if I get the value and trust I can depend on from these guys. Please keep up the great work! I have bought more than 20 cars and trucks from Jim Keim Ford and they have serviced them all and kept me happy…man is that a big feat in itself. THANK YOU! - Craig, 2007 Mustang Owner, Columbus, Ohio
First of all, I would like to thank Ken Peltz for his excellent service during the purchase of the Escape. His attention to detail and follow through that was demonstrated goes above and beyond. These traits not only show what kind of person Ken is but also the quality of the company Jim Keim Ford is and the people that work there. This would be the reason I’ve purchased THREE cars from Jim Keim Ford. - Chuck, 2011 Escape Owner, Columbus, Ohio
I started at Ricart Ford and they didn’t want to really deal on a truck. I went online and found the exact same truck at Jim Keim Ford with a lower price on the internet. We went there on Friday evening, figuring they would be open, but they had just closed. The man who ultimately was my sales person was walking out to his car. I asked him if they were closed and he said they had just closed about 15 minutes ago. I asked him if the blue F-150 on the lot was still for sale or had it been sold yet. He put his things down walked over to the truck with us and showed it to us. He said he wished he had the keys because he would unlock it for us but they were inside. I asked him about the price and he said they were taking all of the discounts and rebates Ford had and were putting them on the ’10 trucks to move them out. I told him we would let him go so he could get home. He gave me his card and asked me to come back and ask for him. We came back the next day and he was there. We ended up purchasing the truck for the price I was willing to pay for it. Ricart Ford called me back a few days later to see if I was interested in looking at the truck they had. I told him I was driving my new truck as we spoke. I let him know apparently Jim Keim wanted to move product a lot more than they did. Jim Keim sold it for THREE THOUSAND less out the door than Ricart would. The fact that John Lee took the time to show us a truck after closing and on his was home and the willingness to deal made all the difference in closing the sae and went a long was for making a repeat customer. The ONLY thing I would change would to be to have Apple develop SYNC for Ford instead of Microsoft. Other than that, I am very happy with my truck. - Peter, 2011 F-150 Owner, Ashville, Ohio
I had to have my Escape towed to Jim Keim Ford because the starter motor wasn’t working. They did not have the part in stock so they got it from another dealer and repaired it very quickly. I had my Escape back within only a few hours! I was very pleased with the service that I received. - Gary, 2009 Escape Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Our salesman, Barry Thompson, sold us our 2008 Escape (we shopped around-Barry did not pressure us-we chose Keim Ford because of this). When the 2008 was totaled we contacted Barry who made the process of replacing our 2008 a pleasant and uncomplicated experience. - Lauretta, 2011 Escape Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Great experience. People would buy more cars if every dealership was like Jim Keim Ford. - Scott, 2011 Fusion Owner, Powell, Ohio
Wouldn’t go anywhere else! Pete and the Keim service crew are the best!! - Ken, 2008 Explorer Sport Trac Owner, Lewis Center, Ohio
Ken Peltz knew how to manage my expectations as a buyer. I told him what I was looking for over the phone, told him what I was going to trade, told him what I was shooting for in terms of trade in values and he worked with me over the phone for the preliminaries. Most sales people would have played the cat and mouse game, Ken didn’t. When I arrived he had the trades assessed and we did the deal. This guy’s technique should be a model for Ford sales people (Please note that I am a sales manager in the industrial sector so I offer this recommendation as a sales professional myself). Managing expectations is a skill most car sales people do not understand, Ken does. - Leonard, 2011 Fusion Owner, Centerburg, Ohio
We have 2 Focus Wagons very sorry no new ones were made. I was waiting for the Fiesta. Salesman kept me updated on arrival and set up a test drive. Decided to stay with the Focus discussed my needs with the salesman, he was not pushy. With the state of the economy I decided to wait on a new car purchase. The salesman kept me notified of rebates and incentives and I decided to buy. Service department was great as we3ll. Salesperson followed with excellence communication, continued effort even when I told him I was waiting. Delivery of car was easy. He walked me through everything, good follow-up, quick in and out. - Roger, 2011 Focus Owner, Hilliard, Ohio
This is my second F-150 purchased from Jim Keim Ford and I have been pleased with both experiences. Barry Thompson, my salesperson, was very informed on the vehicle and worked with me to make this a good purchase. I look forward to coming back in another three years to purchase another F-150. - Randolph, 2011 F-150 Owner, Hilliard, Ohio
I think our experience was even better than we could have ever hoped for. Ken Peltz took care of EVERYTHING we were concerned with throughout the process and at no point did I feel pressured to purchase when I was not ready. His performance is one that I talk about with others when the conversation moves to car dealerships. - Charise, 2011 Fusion Owner, Grove City, Ohio
I usually despise purchasing new cars but I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Jim Keim Ford. There was no pressure to purchase the care or to purchase additional protection even though we decided to purchase GAP insurance, tire insurance, and an extended warranty. I have already recommended people to purchase cars at Jim Keim Ford. - Melissa, 2011 Focus Owner, Hilliard, Ohio
The sales experience was very good. Kevin Martin was very professional. - Tom, 2011 Fiesta Owner, Circleville, Ohio

We could not be happier with Jim Keim Ford and with Ken Peltz. He made buying a car pressure free and was extremely helpful throughout the purchase and afterwards. We were so pleased we purchased TWO vehicles! - Jennifer, 2011 Fusion Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Top Notch establishment! Overall pleasant experience. - Melody, 2008 Escape Hybrid Owner, Columbus, Ohio
We were treated with much courtesy and respect. I would definitely buy another vehicle at Jim Keim Ford. - Genevieve, 2011 Taurus Owner, Grove City, Ohio

I could not be happier with my purchase from Jim Keim. Barry was awesome and made this process so easy! I will definitely be back with I’m ready to trade in my Edge- but that will be AWHILE because I absolutely LOVE it!! I will be sending my friend and family right to Barry Thompson when they are in need of a new car. Thank you so much! - Jordan, 2011 Edge Owner, Galloway, Ohio
Randy was great assisting with the sales experience. - Don, 2011 Fusion Owner, Columbus, Ohio
I worked with both John Lee and Randy Cheadle. They were both great to work with, provided me with the information I requested, and answered all my questions. I would recommend working with them to any of my friends. This was one of the best car buying experiences I’ve had. Thanks! - Eva, 2011 Taurus Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Best experience in new car sale. All of our questions were answered and it was obvious that customer satisfaction was very important to each person we talked to. Special kudos to Kevin Martin who went out of his way to come in on his day off. - Ronald, 2011 Escape Owner, Grove City, Ohio
Overall experience was wonderful. Everyone I worked with was very helpful. - Kelli, 2011 Escape Owner, Columbus, Ohio
My Sales Consultant Ken Peltz did a great job! He went above and beyond assisting me during my purchase. The Finance Department did an excellent job! Overall great experience, I highly recommend Jim Keim Ford. - Jeffrey, 2011 Focus Owner, Westlake, Ohio
Barry Thompson was a very efficient salesman to work with. He truly made this car buying experience as enjoyable as he could. I will definitely keep him in mind for family and friends that are looking for a new car and even for my wife and I when we look again. - Timothy, 2011 Focus Owner, Galloway, Ohio
As a former Chrysler customer for 40 years, I am very pleased with the Ford Edge and the service I received in Leasing it. - Mary, 2011 Edge Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Barry was very helpful, knowledgeable, and pleasant. Buying this car was a wonderful experience. - Linda, 2011 Edge Owner, Columbus, Ohio
John Lee was the most pleasant sales person I have ever met. You are very blessed to have an employee like him; I wish him the best of luck in his career with Ford. I felt no pressure on the lot when I was looking at cars. He opened all the cars I requested. When I was done looking he answered all my questions. I was left to make my own decision without pressure from John. - Terry, 2011 Focus Owner, Columbus, Ohio
I am a new Ford owner. Jim Keim Ford is by far the best dealership I have ever dealt with. Bob McQuade, my salesman, is the most “stand-up” guy I have seen in my 47 years of car ownership. Jim Keim Ford has my business for life. - James, 2011 Escape Owner, Hilliard, Ohio
Eric Beck did an excellent job of "educating" us of all the features & benefits of our Ford Escape. Thank you Eric!! - Gary, 2011 Escape Owner, Westerville, Ohio
We wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your assistance yesterday when we locked our key in the car. Not only did you send one of your men to pick us up from Giant Eagle Hilliard-Rome, but he came with equipment to unlock the door! And he did it all in less than 10 minutes after I called there. Without hesitation, you valued us enough to make sure we were not left out in the cold-literally! We are still in awe of the unselfishness of everyone there that we encountered. We cannot recall everyone’s name, but we wanted to show our appreciation- by way of pizza, wings, bread sticks- and hope you will see how much we appreciated you. Jim Keim Ford would be proud to know that you all went ABOVE AND BEYOND the call of duty. As we mentioned to you, my son-in-law purchased the car from your dealership in 2004 and we are using it while we are in “car limbo”. We are not even customers of your dealership, yet you treated us like we were your best. So many negative things and negative people seem to be the norm these days, but I would say great attitudes, great customer service and great staff is the norm at Jim Keim Ford! - Renee and George, 2004 Focus Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Todd Parsley is an excellent Service Advisor! He is the reason that I come to Jim Keim Ford! - Annette, 2008 F-150 Owner, Galloway, Ohio
We have used Jim Keim Ford for 15 years or more and have been very happy with them! - Steven, 2006 F-150 Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Ralph Love handled my service needs at Jim Keim Ford for many years…it would be wonderful if everyone who shops at Jim Keim were to have a friend and faithful helper like Ralph! Thanks! - James, 2007 Grand Marquis Owner, Powell, Ohio
Randy was a very good salesperson! Made our buying experience GREAT! - Steven, 2010 Ranger Owner, Columbus, Ohio
I truly felt like I was in a professional dealership without the expectant pressure. I really appreciate our salesman, Randy Cheadle! He spent a lot of time and was very patient with us! - Victor, 2011 Escape Owner, Columbus, Ohio
I am very happy with my new Escape. It is very Zippy! Bob our salesman was fantastic and helped me set up my SYNC account. - Shane, 2011 Escape Owner, Galloway, Ohio
I was very happy with the service that I received. My salesman was knowledgeable, friendly and very willing to help. Everyone at the dealership was kind and went out of their way to ensure all my questions were answered. - Sandra, 2011 Taurus Owner, Columbus, Ohio
We were treated with much courtesy and respect would definitely buy another vehicle there. - Genevieve, 2011 Taurus Owner, Grove City, Ohio
I have purchased at least 10 vehicles from the Keims. I have always been treated fairly and will continue to buy from them. Kevin Martin is my go-to guy when I need a Ford product. Jim Keim has always gone of his was to assure everything is OK at his dealership. - Anthony, 2011 Fusion Owner, Upper Arlington, Ohio
I have purchased my last 4 vehicles at Jim Keim Ford and was treated very nice and also my salesperson was very helpful and informative about the car I purchased. They are always very professional. - Lerry, 2010 F-150 Owner, Circleville, Ohio
The overall experience was superb. I had been looking for about 6 months and my salesperson was more than patient with me. The Ford Fiesta is a wonderful little car that I used to replace a German sports car. I receive 36.5 mpg at 70 mph and have seen 41.1 mpg cruising the highway at 65 mph. Way to go FORD and with my other vehicle being a Milan I guess you can call me a Ford family man now! - Gary, 2011 Fiesta Owner, Commercial Point, Ohio
We could not be happier with Jim Keim Ford and with Ken Peltz. He made buying a car pressure free and was extremely helpful throughout the purchase and afterwards. We were so pleased we purchased two vehicles! - Jennifer, 2011 Fusion Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Ken Peltz made everything perfect. I was never pressured once and I was able to take my time in the entire process which was very important to me. - Robert, 2010 F-150 Owner, Columbus, Ohio
The salesman Mike Phillips was outstanding he followed thru on all issues I had. Very good salesperson! - Scott, 2010 F-150 Owner, Walton Hills, Ohio
Totally satisfied with the sales transaction and completely happy with my new FX4. I traded a 2011 F150 XLT Off-road on this purchase and thought I would never get rid of it, I was so happy and satisfied with it that it wasn't quite as traumatic as I thought it would be. My wife absolutely loves this truck, it doesn't hurt any that it has more options and amenities than her Crown Vic although she has no intentions of giving up her "Crown". I have and will continue to recommending Jim Keim Ford to all my friends, neighbors and relatives as an excellent place for their next vehicle. I am a proud and dedicated Ford owner of 45 years so this is no passing fancy for me. - Terry, 2010 F-150 Owner, Summit Station, Ohio
Barry Thompson was very courteous and professional. Truly an asset to your team! - Mary, 2010 Escape Owner, Grove City, Ohio
Eric Beck was a very friendly and informative salesperson. He took more time to explain all the aspects of a new car and how it works. I traded in a 2004 Freestar for the 2011 Escape. It's different to drive-however-I'm getting better at it! Thank you Eric Beck and Kurt Tekaucic. - Patricia, 2011 Escape Owner, Masillon, Ohio
A few weeks ago, (the day before thanksgiving I believe) I brought my 08' Explorer in as it needed an oil change as indicated on the dash display. As I said, it was just before the holiday or maybe even the day of. I had just left the funeral of a fellow Airman, and had to make a trip up to Cleveland that evening. You and your staff were getting ready to close up the shop for the day to be with your families, and I walked in without an appointment. Instead of turning me away, which would have been understandable considering the circumstances, you and your staff went above and beyond the call of duty taking care of the service of my vehicle, and by keeping me informed throughout the vehicle inspection. I have rarely come across such OUTSTANDING customer service, from the courteous personnel behind the counter to the service team just wanting to make sure I was happy. It's nice to have people you know you can count on. Thanks again! - Rich, 2008 Explorer Owner, Galloway, Ohio
I am reviewing the service department only, as I do not currently have experience with the sales end of the business. I've been taking my seven year old Ford Taurus to this dealership for service for many years. With over 180,000 miles on my vehicle, it needs a little more service than others, in addition to the regular maintenance. Although it has an expired warranty, I hope to squeak a few more serviceable years and miles out of this car - I own it! Regular maintenance is the key to keeping the car running, especially as the miles start to creep up. Each visit is consistent: check-in (where they determine what's wrong and if you're waiting or picking it up later), an official estimate that you read and sign, and then the wait. They seem to be pretty fast on services like oil changes, and obviously take more time for more in-depth stuff. My experience with this dealership's service department runs the gambit. If you have to wait, they have a nice waiting area with a television set, a few tables and chairs and a small play area for children. They also have coffee for your caffeine fix, and bathrooms right next to that - perfect! I believe they have open Wi-Fi, but I also have my own aircard for Internet, so I don't use theirs that often. If you can't wait, but you need to leave your car, they have an in-house rental car agency, which can be really helpful. I've had one or two insurance-related service events where the other driver's insurance paid for my rental car for a few days, and I appreciated having that inside the dealership. They've worked closely with the insurance agencies, too, so even less stress. If your existing car is annoying you, you'll also be a few feet away from the sales department which would be more than happy to sell you a car or truck. The nice thing is that in all the years I've been going to Jim Keim, I've never been pressured - at all - to buy a new vehicle, when I'm perfectly happy with the one I own. There's a pretty good chance that if I decide to go with a Ford for my next car, it's this consistent lack of pressure that will make me feel comfortable buying my next car from this dealership. Neat how that works, eh? If the amount of service is over the initial estimate, they will always call you. I believe this is a state law, but it's cool that they always do it, and take the time to explain the services and the prices over the phone. You agree, they continue work at the discussed price; you don't agree, and you settle up with a diagnostic charge, and you're on your way for a second opinion elsewhere. They have a decent parts department, which seems pretty average on whether the part you need is in stock or not, but there are plenty of places for them to transfer/source parts from locally, so it's rarely more than a day or two on odd items. Once the work is complete, they call you - I love their easy to remember number (888-3333) - and let you know you when you can pick it up. I like bringing my car to the same dealership each time because they maintain a record of service and, in some cases, warranty information for things like tires. Jim Keim uses a nice computer system which keeps track of when each vehicle was in, and which work was performed. I'm sure this is standard across Ford's service departments nationwide, but it's just nice to know someone's keeping track. Time flies, and I often forget auto-related items. This dealership sends me postcard reminders for upcoming service events. Sometimes these postcards also include coupons for specific items (discounts on service or products like tires) which I like. One of the intangibles of this location that I appreciate a lot is that they seem to have really low turn-over. Same managers and employees have been around for many years. I like that. High turnover isn't a show-stopper by itself, but seeing the same people month after month gives confidence. The cashiers are always cool, and learn to know their customers over time. I believe these are also the people who follow-up after the service, to make sure everything's okay. Once, I had to work with the service manager and he was as helpful as he could be within the limitations of any business. I believe the issue was small, and the resolution ended up being a discount. Once out of countless times - not bad. In contrast, one dealership I went to before Jim Keim, which will remain nameless (mainly because I forget their name), kept leaving tools in my car. Like actual tools, in various hidden locations of my car. I believe I still have three or four tools from that place kicking around - from the same service event! I figure if I drive home and find a pair of vice grips attached to my motor, they're mine. No such oddities with Jim Keim, thankfully. I've owned four cars over the years, and taken each of them to many dealerships across the country. This dealership is hands-down my most favorite.- Sean, Ford Taurus Owner, Columbus, Ohio
After a long search, we were able to find the perfect car for my sixteen year old daughter at your dealership. The Hyundai we purchased was in great shape and was just the car for which we had been "on the hunt". Our pleasure with the car has been far outweighed by the experience we had with Mike Phillips. We were able to work with Mike from the first call through delivery. To say the least, I am not experienced with the requirements of purchasing a car. Mike was there with me, explaining each step with great patience and in terms I could easily understand. I was made to feel that if I wasn’t his only client, I was his most important. All my phone calls were returned promptly, even when we were playing phone tag. At no time did I feel Mike was just out for a commission, but to put the correct driver in the right car. The purchase of the car was arranged through an estate/probate situation…of which was even more confusing. At my request, Mike spoke with the attorney involved and supervented all the legal hoops that were involved. His involvement was so much of a relief off my mind at that time. Being two hours away from your dealership, many of our documents were passed by fax. Mike even made this simple task even easier. Being a single mother with two adolescents and having all those around me working day shift, delivery became a great difficulty. Once again Mike saved the day. Not only was the car delivered right to my home. And what a wonderful surprise, it was Mike, himself, who took the time out of his day to bring the car to me. If you have another employee that is half as good, effective and efficient as Mike Phillips, you should consider yourself lucky. - Sarah, 2007 Accent Owner, Georgetown, Ohio
I would like to compliment Pete Plagman and the service department for the friendly, attentive service that we have received since we moved back to Ohio in 2006. My wife and I have brought our two Ford vehicles in many times, and each time Pete and his group have responded positively to our needs. I have driven Ford products for 45 years (my father worked at Ford). We have lived in five states, and have had experience with more than that number of For and Mercury dealers. I had high expectations when we moved to Ohio because we had been spoiled by the service we received for 17 years from Arlington Heights Ford, near Chicago. I didn’t think any dealer could come close to the way that they treated us. Your service group treats us like they value our business, and we appreciate that. - Brian, 2005 Freestyle Owner, London, Ohio
The following is to thank you for your outstanding service on my vehicles during the past several years. You have an excellent staff of personnel in your maintenance operation and body shop department that kept my vehicles in top condition. We travel a lot from Ohio to the East Coast and Florida so dependability means a lot to us. The first people that the customers meet when they enter the door are the service writers. These people remembered my name the very first time that I came here for service. I was impressed on that first visit because I had a coolant leak on the bottom of the radiator connection on the van and it was repaired in a short time and very reasonable. A dealer in Florida wanted to sell me a new radiator. Jim Keim ford is fortunate to have you, your technicians (maintenance & body shop) service writers and clerical personnel. Since I spent my lifetime in heavy truck maintenance I can appreciate good service when I find it. Thank you for your help. - Julian, 2003 Crown Victoria Owner, Galloway, Ohio
What great folks at Keim!! I would and have recommended them to others! I’m excited to see the new features in SYNC and the Navigation system. This car is great, it will take a lot to get me into a new one, as I REALLY like this one! - Janice, 2010 Taurus Owner, Columbus, Ohio
This is my 4th vehicle I have purchased from Jim Keim Ford. They have always treated me well and I will continue to promote them as a go-to dealership. Eric was very responsive by phone and email and listened to my needs and wants and delivered as promised with the vehicle we ordered. My next vehicle will be a Ford as well and I look forward to the experience at Jim Keim. - David, 2011 Flex Owner, Hilliard, Ohio
Ken Peltz made everything perfect. I was never pressured once and I was able to take my time in the entire process which was important to me. - Robert, 2010 F150 Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Randy Cheadle from Hilliard-Rome Rd in Columbus, Ohio went above all I had expected in finding the exact car I was looking for with no hassles or pressure! - Jody, 2011 Fusion Owner, Mt. Sterling, Ohio
We have used this dealer for 15 years or more and have always been very happy with them. - Steve, 2006 F150 Owner, Columbus, Ohio
I’m very happy with my new car. Bob knew his cars and answered all my questions easily. I was pleasantly surprised to find the car I ordered on hand when I came in to sign the papers (I was told it would take another day to get it). Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the buying experience and the car. THANK YOU. - Cindy, 2010 Ford Taurus Owner, Orient, Ohio
The Sales manager Dino went out of his way to make the sale! - Mike, 2010 F150 Owner, Grove City, Ohio
We loved the entire team at Jim Keim. Randy our salesman, Dino the New car manager and James their finance person were so amazing! I could have not asked for a better bunch of guys to help me. We will most defiantly go back. I have already told a friend who is looking for a new car to go and see them. Thank you all at Jim Keim Ford for making this yet another great experience. - Jessica, 2010 Focus Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Great Salesperson. Eric Beck worked with me to get the Ranger that I wanted. One of the best that I have worked with to get a new truck from. Will by another car for my wife when the time comes. Ford builds car and trucks to last! - James, 2010 Ranger Owner, West Jefferson, Ohio
Bob Kistler was fabulous! I hope he stays with Jim Keim Ford. He’s not a hard sell person he is very thorough and patient. - Carol, 2010 Focus Owner, Hilliard, Ohio
Ken Peltz treated us as a friend. We felt the business was his home and we were his guests. He listened to our needs, our lifestyle, and our desires. He showed us a candy apple red Fusion with the plastic still on the seat. He took the plastic off and let us take it for a spin. We fell and love and was within our budget. A week later it was ours! - Carol, 2010 Focus Owner, Hilliard, Ohio
Excellent! Eric beck is a great person. He probably sells a lot of vehicles (words from my wife, Barbara) but I also think the same. - Barbara, 2011 Fiesta Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Salesman communication was excellent. Returned calls promptly and answered specific questions about the vehicle. - Scott, 2010 Ranger Owner, Springfield, Ohio
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your sales staff in your pre-owned area this weekend. After 3 horrible experiences at different lots, we came to yours. Your people left us to look at the vehicles at our leisure (bonus that they were all unlocked so we could look). The price was clearly marked on on each vehicle, as well as the milage. Once we made a selection to test drive, your salesman was curtious, helpful, and quick. We were concerned the vehicle was out of the price range, and your salesman did everything possible to get her into the vehicle she truely wanted, at a monthly payment that was affordable for her, instead of trying to sell her something that didn't fit her needs. She ended up purchasing a 2008 Toyota Sienna from you. My husband and I have delt with your service department for our F150 since Graham Ford closed, and we have had nothing but quick, professional service there as well. We will definately be coming to your dealership when the time comes to trade in our vehicles for a new one. - Gwen Hamilton, Ford F150 Owner, Columbus, Ohio
On August 5, 2010 I dropped of our Ford Explorer to get a rust spot on the right rear quarter panel fixed. Bob Johnson, your body shop manager, took excellent care of us. The car was done by Tuesday as he promised. The work done was excellent. I could not see where the new metal was installed or the fender repainted. The car was also cleaned inside and out. When Mr. Johnson called Tuesday afternoon to let me know the Explorer was done, I told him that we could not pick the car up until 6PM. Mr. Johnson said that he would stay until we got there to make sure we were happy with the work. I deeply appreciated Mr. Jonson staying late to do this. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is your highest priority. I will definitely recommend your body shop to anyone who needs repair work. Thanks so much for a job well done. - Jim and Theresa, 2004 Ford Explorer Owners, Westerville, Ohio
I just wanted to express how much we appreciated your sales team.We purchased an 09 Chevy HHR on Saturday.We originally purchased the gray HHR. After we left your dealership, we had driven about 20 miles from your place and the car started making a horrible noise. So we pulled off and my husband looked under the hood and found a large puddle of oil where oil should not have been. So we called Mike Phillips, our salesman. He apologized for the problem, called a tow truck and he himself came to pick us up. At first they were going to give us a car to drive home and repair the gray hhr. While he was on his way to pick us up, he called and said that he would sell us the red HHR for the same price as the gray one. Of course we took that one for a test drive, my husband and I both liked it. So we did take him up on the offer.I can't thank your sales team enough for making the bad situation into a good one.I am very pleased with the red HHR. I will be referring your dealership to any and everyone I know. We have bought several cars at numerous dealerships and I can say with out a doubt, your dealership is by far the best I have dealt with. Your salesmen entertained our 8 and 2 year children and over all made it a great experience. As far as I am concerned, you have earned a customer for life.I just want to thank Jason Shaub and Mike Philips for all they did to make everything right for us.Again, thank you all!! - Todd and Andrea, 2009 HHR Owners, Dayton, Ohio
Had a great experience and Eric was fantastic!!! - Walt, Hilliard, OH, Ford Flex Owner
A very satisfied buying experience during the process. My wish is that the car will give me total satisfaction for a long time and I have that confidence that it will. - David, Columbus, OH, Ford Edge Owner
I had dreaded the car buying experience but was extremely pleased that it was so pleasant with no pressure and everyone, especially my salesperson Kevin Martin being so helpful. Jim Keim was recommended to me by a friend and also the Ford Fusion was recommended to me by another friend who owns one. I love this car and will definitely recommend Jim Keim and Ford vehicles to my friends and family. Thank you to Kevin and others at Jim Keim for making the purchase of my new car such a positive and pleasant experience. - Carole, Hilliard, OH, Ford Fusion Owner
Excellent! No pressure to buy and I got what I wanted. When I’m ready to purchase another vehicle my first stop will be Jim Keim Ford. Keep up the good work! - Troy, Orient, OH, Ford Mustang Owner
I have been buying Ford cars for 16 years (my dad worked for Ford for over 35 years). There was a point I lost faith in Ford and the sales reps. The process was long and drawn out. There was a lot of pressure to buy, making me feel guilty if I didn't buy. I felt like I had to wheel and deal and play the waiting game or put one dealer against another. So, for a while, I bought Toyota cars because they provided better service. I decided to give Ford another shot and called Keim Ford out of the blue and started talking to Ken Peltz, a sales rep there. Two cars later in a matter of 2 months, we are proud owners of a Ford Fusion and Ford Explorer. We couldn't be happier. More importantly, Ken restored faith in what sales is all about. He is the best sales rep I have worked with in 16 years and I will buy from him from here on out as well as recommend friends and family to him. He is customer centric, knowledgeable about the product, and focused on making the process stress free. He spent more time educating us on the car and the functionality (sync) and never made us feel any pressure to make a decision or negotiate. He let the product do the talking and selling. Ken Peltz is an outstanding sales rep! Great job Ford . . . You have restored the faith!!!! - Barry, Hilliard, OH, Ford Explorer Owner
Ken Peltz (my salesman) and Jason Schaub (my financing agent) were very excellent to work with! I would send any of my family members and friends to these two men! They absolutely put me in the right vehicle and my payments were right where I wanted them to be! - Andrea, Columbus, OH, Ford Focus Owner
Kevin Martin was Excellent to work with. Good knowledge, nice man very pleased. - Juilia, Columbus, OH, Ford Fusion Owner
We at Palmer Builders LLC. Wanted to thank you for your incredible professionalism and detailed work that you’ve done with our vehicles. We also commend you on the timely manner in which the repairs to both trucks were done. In our profession we rely greatly on our vehicles and are impressed with the consideration that you gave to our needs. For any future repairs or vehicle maintenance we will trust in your dealership. - Gerry and Kathy, Hilliard, OH, Palmer Builders LLC.
In mid June (around the 9th) I was traveling in my Buick Rendezvous from Philadelphia to St. Louis when my change oil light came on just as I was pulling into the nearby hotel for the evening. The next morning I went to the dealership wondering if they would service a non-Ford car. To my amazement I met the most wonderful group of men who were happy to help me. During the conversation while writing up the service order, the gentleman who waited on me identified he was a Steelers fan to which I replied I had previously lived in the Pittsburgh area. Overhearing, the other gentleman (Pete Harper judging from website photos) made the joke for Steelers fans the wait would be a week since this is Bengals country. This laughing and joking certainly made a positive impression on me. When Todd Parsley called to check on the status of the car he also joked with me. While I may never purchase a car from your dealership, nor get a car serviced there again, I must say you have made a wonderful impression on me and I hope all of your customers know just how great your team is at making a customer feel welcome. - Colleen, Philadelphia, PA, Buick Rendezvous Owner
Everyone at the dealership was very polite, helpful and professional. I have had an excellent experience with both the sales and service departments at Jim Keim Ford. - Judy, Hilliard, OH, 2010 Ford Taurus Owner
I am very happy with my new car; I was considering several other cars. The Ford was the first one I look at, and the only one I need to look at. The performance, handling, and amenity's of this car where a welcome surprise. I was giving a fair price for my trade-in, and the dealership worked with me to get me a car payment I could feel comfortable with. I know I am going to love my new Fusion. - Brenda, Galloway, OH, 2010 Ford Fusion Owner
This was the best experience in buying a car that I have had. I will be back for all my service needs. My salesman, Barry Thompson made this experience very enjoyable for me. - Lynne, Columbus, OH, 2010 Ford Escape Owner
Barry Thompson was very patient with my husband & I while we decided what to buy! I appreciate that Allen Flowers stayed over late to process my loan. I am truly grateful for their help and making my purchase as easy as possible. We’ll see you in 2011 for my husband's new truck. Thanks again!!!!! - Trudi, Grove City, OH, 2010 Ford Escape Owner
Randy was WONDERFUL! This has been THE BEST buying experience I have ever had with any dealership. I have already begun recommending Jim Keim (and Randy) to my friends and family! - Darla, Columbus, OH, 2010 Ford Escape Owner
Service Department is first rate. Pete Harper does a fantastic job with customers! - Mark, Columbus, OH, 2010 Ford Explorer Owner
Keim does a good job of building continuing customer loyalty. - Lavon, Columbus, OH, 2010 Ford Fusion Owner
Travis Nukes was one of the most professional advisor's I have ever met. He went above and beyond what he needed to do for me being that it was a busy Saturday morning. Even though I bought my Ford at another dealership, I will be bringing my Escape to Jim Keim for service due to my experience with Travis. Don't let him get away! - Andy, Galloway, OH, 2010 Ford Escape Owner
Travis was amazing! I cannot say enough about this guy. He treated me like his most valued customer. I have never received that kind of treatment anywhere else. In fact, my next vehicle purchase will most likely be made at Jim Keim simply due to my experience in the service department. - Andrew, Columbus, OH, 2010 Ford Escape Owner
Great Service; your staff is great, courteous and professional. Service specialist Travis Nukes is probably the most professional in the business. Thanks for a job well done. - Bruce, Galloway, OH, 2005 Ford Explorer Owner
I always have confidence with all my service at Jim Keim Ford. I’ve been a Ford owner since 1946. My 1st Ford was a 1940 Model. - Donald, Columbus, OH, 2008 Ford Fusion Owner
Travis Nukes is the best service advisor I have ever run across, bar none. He is courteous, knowledgeable, and makes sure everything I need is taken care of. Kudos too for mechanic Roger Thomas, who is also consistently excellent in his work. These guys are why I keep coming back to Keim - you value the relationship with your customers, and it shows - Roger, Dublin, OH, 2003 Ford Mustang Owner
What a great group of guys! Always get exceptional service. - Janice, Columbus, OH, 2010 Ford Taurus Owner
I've purchased about 10 vehicles from Jim Keim and only have positive things to say. Jim, Kevin, and both "Pete's" in service have always treated me well. - Anthony, Columbus, OH, 2004 Ford Expedition Owner
We've been customers for years and will continue to be. I usually work with Pete Harper, who is always wonderful: courteous and helpful. - Sharon, Columbus, OH, 1999 Ford Explorer Owner
My experience, in a word, would be outstanding - from sales to service, everyone is very helpful. - Deborah, Columbus, OH, 2009 Ford Edge Owner
Jim Keim Ford provided an excellent sales experience. I could not have asked for an easier time buying my new Fusion. - Christopher, Lakewood, OH, 2010 Ford Fusion Owner
Your Ford products are SUPER as is the Dealership! - Dick, Delaware, OH, 2010 Ford Fusion Owner
Jim Keim Ford is an excellent place to purchase a vehicle. Our Salesperson Randy Cheadle- was very courteous and knowledgeable and explained everything. Jenny Tatterson (receptionist) was very courteous and greeted us with a smile. - Kevin, 2010 Ranger Owner, Lancaster, Ohio
Love my Ford Escape. Jim Keim Ford is the best! My daughter, brother, sister, my husband and myself have all purchased New Ford’s in the past year from Randy Cheadle. Randy and Jenny the receptionist are great! - Linda, 2010 Escape Owner, Lancaster, Ohio
I have no concerns with the Service Department at Jim Keim Ford. I think they have a very good thing going, keep up the good work. - Steve, 2008 F-350 Owner, Hilliard, Ohio
Ford did not file for bankruptcy nor did Ford take government bailout money. Primarily that's why this time I purchased a new automobile from Ford. Second, when I asked around about dealers Jim Keim Ford kept coming up as a good, reputable dealer. Third, a long-time friend of mine purchased two Fords from Eric Beck at Jim Keim last summer and recommended Eric who turned out to be even better than the recommendation!- - Richard, 2010 Fusion Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Overall, my buying experience was very easy and stress free. I truly enjoyed working with Randy C. and Kevin M. My wife and I felt at ease during the buying process, and we felt that the salespeople had our best interest in mind. This was our second experience at Jim Keim Ford and both times we left feeling satisfied. - Jason, 2010 F-150 Owner, Hilliard, Ohio
Jim Keim Ford is the best Ford dealership I've ever dealt with in Columbus. - Patrick, 2005 Focus Owner, Columbus, Ohio
From start to finish, I had another excellent experience at Jim Keim Ford with Ken Peltz. This is my 2nd vehicle from JKF and my family's 3rd. Thanks for treating me as a respected, valued customer. I love Ford and I love Jim Keim Ford! Thank You! - Sarah, 2010 Escape Owner, Columbus, Ohio
We have never had a better experience buying a car! Everyone was very nice and helpful. They made the process of buying a car so nice J We always dread buying a car, only if all dealerships could be like Jim Keim! - Tina, 2010 Taurus Owner, Lewis Center, Ohio
Jim Keim Ford goes “over and above” to ensure that I am completely satisfied with their service. Pete Plagman is superior in his managing of his service department. He always displays care and concern. The work done in his department is superior. - Barbara, 2008 Taurus Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Overall Very Good- I’ve already recommended our sales rep Kevin Martin to others. I liked it also because not overly pushy. I will always be drawn to dealers who aren’t annoyingly aggressive. - Linda, 2010 Fusion Owner, Hilliard, Ohio
I wanted to take just a couple of minutes of each of our time to express my appreciation for one of your sales people. Randy Cheadle is the type of person that Alan Mulally must be referring to when he speaks about "the new Ford". He was extremely helpful and patient with my wife and me yesterday despite knowing that I was trying to make a decision about a company car, not a personal vehicle. He certainly knew he would not receive any commission and the dealership may well not even deliver the vehicle while he was providing assistance to us. His approach was clearly that he felt it was important to make another sell for Ford whether or not it was "his sale". His interest was in helping me understand the great improvements Ford has made over the last few years. I truly got a sense that his interest was in selling me a Ford, not simply trying to collect a commission. I have now decided to order a Taurus for my new company car. Please rest assured, Randy and his willingness to take the time to assist my wife and me is a major factor in the decision I made. I thanked Randy for his help yesterday. I want to thank you as well for providing the kind of leadership that helps develop team members like him. Ford will prove to be successful in the end with people like the two of you and dealerships like Jim Keim. I will certainly consider making my next personal purchase from Jim Keim and hope I can encourage friends and family to do so by sharing the story of my experience. - Dewey, 2010 Ford Taurus Owner, Columbus, Ohio
My Mustang was my 19th new Ford and wife’s new Taurus being our 20th. Jim Keim’s service keeps me coming back. my service and parts dept stay the same. number 1, i can trust them and that means a lot to today’s consumers. i know when they see me coming in they say to themselves.. oh great. its Craig again (I’m very picky about my cars) but they will have to get over it..ha ha its like a family there. and family takes care of family. thanks for all the years of great service! - Craig, 2007 Ford Mustang Owner, Columbus, Ohio
Great job getting my car to the service shop. My starter had gone out and they came out in no time, towed it to the dealer and was done with all of it in 4 hours! great job! - Steven, 2007 Ford Escape Owner, Hilliard, Ohio
I have bought or leased all my vehicles from Eric Beck and appreciate all the time he gave me, in searching for the right car, helping me with lease decisions, financing, delivery, etc! - Dierde, 2010 Ford Escape Owner, Powell, Ohio
I have owned at least 20 dodge vehicles. I will never buy another dodge or chevy because of what they did to their dealers. Ford motor company did not make radical changes to their dealer network. That is why i bought this vehicle. My ford f150 is a great vehicle. I am very happy. Thank you.- Steve, 2010 Ford F150 Owner, Fairfield, Ohio
My husband and I have just finished leasing another Ford with Kevin Martin. We keep coming back to Kevin because he is a great person and a wonderful salesman to work with. He is always so professional and respectful to us and we greatly appreciate it. I would also like to give this message to Mr. Keim. Best wishes to your organization and Ford for the great work you are doing to keep an American car company one that we can continue to be proud of.- Janet, 2010 Fusion Owner, Columbus, Ohio
I was called personally by Eric Beck, who arranged an appointment around my schedule. When I arrived, he greeted me promptly and demonstrated his knowledge of the vehicles available. He was understanding and explained the features and benefits of the different F-150’s. Eric was able to match a truck to my specifications, and began closing the sale. He took the time to find me additional discounts- by finding out that I was eligible for a discount from my employer. He made the buying process very simple. Finally, Eric emailed me later that day, and called me the next day to ensure I was happy with the purchase. I am very confident that I can firmly recommend the service I received from Eric and Jim Keim Ford. - Joanna, 2010 F-150 Owner, Dublin, Ohio
I want to let you know how much Mike Phillips helped me in selecting a car. I am short and have requirements that are hard to find in cars. He took the time to help me “try on cars”. He was friendly and patient with me and suggested the right car. I am very happy with the fourth Taurus. I will be back when I need my next car.- Mary, Ford Taurus Owner, Pataskala, Ohio
I bought my 07 F-350 King Ranch at Jim Keim Ford. I have since moved out of state / away from the Columbus, OH. area. I took my vehicle to three other out of state dealers, I was not pleased with any explanation regarding my problem. As a result, I made two 300 mile round trips to have my vehicle worked on at Jim Keim (one trip diagnosis / one trip scheduled repairs). My service advisor Todd Parsley, Technicians Roger Thomas, Kurt Tekaucic were excellent. I was, and have been with every visit, very pleased with Jim Keim Ford and their entire service staff. I will return for service work and another vehicle purchase. - Paul, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, 2007 F-350 Owner
This is the 2nd car I got at Jim Keim Ford. One reason I went back for a Fusion is because I like the service!- Marvin, Dublin, Ohio, 2009 Ford Fusion Owner
I hit a large rock in the road while traveling near Steubenville Ohio and bent my rim. I took it to Team Ford first thing Friday morning. After waiting an hour an half they said could not get part and wanted to charge me over $750 for 1 tire and rim. They also said maybe could get the part Saturday but couldn't commit to even possibly Monday. I was on vacation and supposed to be in NC by Sunday. I called Keim in Columbus. I explained my situation and they said would check and call me back. In 10 minutes called me back and found a refurbished rim at a substantial savings. I put the spare on back and drove 3 hours back to Columbus. They took me right in, then my car was fixed it @ 30-40 minutes and helped me salvage my vacation.- Thomas, Dublin, Ohio, 2005 Ford Five Hundred Owner
Service had always been excellent and courteous.- Paul, Grove City, Ohio, 2008 Ford Taurus Owner
Pre-Owned Sales Manager was an excellent person to deal with!- Ted, Kingston, OH, 2008 Ford Fusion Owner
Good Service!- Ronna, Monroe, MI, 2009 Ford Focus Owner
I worked with Barry Thompson who manages Keim's internet sales. Traded an email with him after finding an Edge matching my criteria on Autotrader.com then talked several times on the phone. Barry was very professional, didn't pressure me, and knew that I was over 60 miles away with a Ford dealership close by to my house. He worked with me and made me comfortable that the drive was worthwhile to do business with Keim. I dropped by on short notice and the vehicle was completely spotless and ready. The only waiting I had was due to me being there about an hour later than I said I was going to be so he (and then the finance person) was working with another couple, but Barry and several other people came over to check on me and you could tell it bothered them that I had to wait (again, entirely my fault). Looked like a very professionally run and staffed organization. I would definitely recommend them to others.- William, Beavercreek, OH, 2009 Ford Edge Owner
The personnel at Jim Keim Ford always go the “extra mile” to be sure you are completely satisfied whether you are purchasing a new vehicle or having your vehicle serviced. Pete Plagman in particular always gives special attention to whatever reason I’ve brought my vehicle in for. - Barbara, Columbus, OH, 2008 Ford Taurus Owner
Respected and liked our salesperson Kevin Martin. Will a point to visit with him when we bring our vehicle in for service.- Betty, London, OH, 2010 Ford Fusion Owner

Salesman was patient, considerate and informative.- Robert, Grove City, OH, 2009 Ford Fusion Owner
Kevin Martin did a nice job finding the vehicle I wanted. He got on the Dealer Locater and found the vehicle within 24 hours. Kevin shopped ALL the finance sources and found me the best rate and payment plan! Great job! Very happy with the whole sales process.- Scott, Columbus, OH, 2009 Ford F150 Owner
Could not have been more pleased with my experience at Jim Keim Ford. I have never been to any dealership where everyone was so extremely helpful. The atmosphere was friendly, while still professional and I really felt that each individual worked with me to get me the vehicle I wanted. From the sales person to the sales manager to the finance manager - all worked together and gave me personal, uninterrupted attention. The other sales folks that were there also made a point of speaking to me. I would highly recommend this dealership. The folks that work there are above exceptional and it is very obvious that they all enjoy what they do. Buying a vehicle has never been a "fun" experience - but, that changed when I went to Jim Keim.- Deborah, Columbus, OH, 2009 Ford Edge Owner
Very satisfied with this vehicle so far...This is our third Escape (prior vehicle being new 2006 Mazda Tribute and a 2007 Ford Escape). We are also satisfied how our concerns were met and were satisfied during the negotiating process how we came to a mutual conclusion. We hope to build a lasting relationship with this dealership.- Melvin, Marysville, OH, 2009 Ford Escape Owner
Keim Ford provides a great buying experience. This is the 6th vehicle that I have purchased in 8 years from Keim and they have always provided a great service. I always have a specific options that I'd like and without fail, Keim will find the specific vehicle. Our sales rep, Dale Houghtlen, has always worked hard to find the correct vehicle and then deliver it in a timely manor. Dale provides a low key, no pressure sales approach that makes dealing with Keim a real no hassle experience. Whenever I need a vehicle, I'll continue to use Keim because of their excellent customer service.- Compass, Columbus, OH, 2009 Ford F150 Owner
Randy was AWESOME! I would send anyone I know looking for a car to him!- Jacklyn, Columbus, OH, 2009 Ford Mustang Owner

I was able to get them answered in a couple of days.- William, Washington Courthouse, OH, 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid Owner
