Reviews


We have dealt with Keim since they opened. The salesman we deal with (Randy Cheadle) is very friendly, he knows his stuff, and is willing to help in any way he can. I have come to consider Randy a friend. Also, the service staff is great. I have never had a bit of a problem when i have taken any of my cars there for service. I have recommended Keim to several of my firends and will continue to deal with them over any other Ford dealer in Central Ohio. They have earned a lifetime customer!

"Holly

I wanted to send you a separate note about my service experience for the warranty work on my Fusion. It was one of the best auto service experiences I've ever had and I thought you would want to know. The Service Writer, Don, was very attentive and even remembered me from when I stopped by Friday to have my mileage verified. He called me a couple times to give me status updates. And the mechanic, Terry, also did a great job of explaining things to me. We went for a 10 minute drive to recreate the noise I was hearing and I really had full trust in him.

My wife and I lived in Dayton for 5 years, but moved back to Columbus in 2004. While in Dayton, we had developed a relationship with the service team at the Saturn dealership in Centerville and we have been trying to find a similar relationship since we moved back to Columbus 9 years ago. So thanks to your guys for helping me get back the trust and "looking out for my best interests" feelings from your service department. I could be mistaken, but I don't believe these guys knew I had a relationship with you. If true, that makes this story all the better! Thank you!"

"I wanted to reach out to share my experience with your insanely amazing service staff! First, my new ex-husband and I have been purchasing vehicles and having you service them for 11 years. Three cars later and one used Lincoln (for our 17 year old that was a pass down) that has had more work than we care to acknowledge~I am greeted with a hug and always treated like a queen. Jon, who never goes anywhere but to you feels the same, minus the hug and queen stuff!! We feel so lucky to be a part of your family, knowing that we will always get the kindest, most efficient and honest service from the first phone call

Last night, I picked up my Milan from Service~ in addition to the work it was in for, they found the crazy noise that was driving me nuts, repaired it in 15 minutes and washed my car. They are such a fantastic group of men!! So in a world of complaining people, who expect the world simply because they feel entitled, I wanted you to know how much my family appreciates how well you take care of us.

Thank you so much for your assistance. Please pass this on to your fabulous staff~ especially my favorite, Travis!"

"I took my VW Jetta to Jim Keim Ford on 7-17-12 after having an automobile accident with a small box truck that decided to back up into me at a red light. The men that worked on my car during the week it was being repaired were: Justin Miller- Collision Specialist Robert Agriesti-Body Damage Repair Chris Wells-Refinish and Installation Justin Miller treated me with the utmost respect, always had a smile on his face and was professional in every phone call and to each and every customer I was witness to. For me personally, Justin should be commended on his professionalism and going above and beyond in taking care of his customer's needs. In my case, Justin stepped up to the plate. Having to deal with my insurance company, the people who caused the damage to my car located in Ypsilanti, Michigan, as well as myself. Justin contacted me every step of the way with car updates. Kudos to Justin and to Jim Keim Ford for employing such a great staff member. If I could get just a smile from other people and also people who take their work seriously and care about customer service as much as it showed with Justin, what a great world it would be. It was a pleasure working with Justin, he is a true asset to Jim Keim Ford. As for Robert Agriesti and Chris Wells unfortunately I had not had the pleasure to meet with them. But if they are anything like their work has shown with the repairs and body work they did on my Jetta, again a great couple of guys who take pride in their work and I have absolutely no complaints as my Jetta is perfect. In fact, I had someone stop and tell me they like my brand new Jetta. Who would of known, it's a 2004. Great job guys! We always seem to know when we do something wrong, its time people hear when they have exceeded in their positions. Jim Keim Ford, your employees are exceptional! Sincerely & Thank You!"
Pattie Hipsher, 2004 Jetta Owner, Hilliard, Ohio


"I've been a steady customer for over 9 years. I bought a 2003 (New) from Bob Boyd Mercury and since it's over 25 miles away for service I asked Pete Plagman if he would service my Mercury. Pete was more than glad to help. He gave me 2 free oil changes so I've stayed with him ever since. Pete and his crew have done a great job for me and we've spread the news to other people. Our latest problem was taken care of and a loaner was given to us while the Mercury was getting fixed. My wife and I cannot be without a car due to her physical problems. We really want to say thanks to Pete and his crew!"
Barb and Carty, Mercury Gran Marquis Owner, Galloway, OH

"I had a great experience with the body shop at Jim Keim Ford recently. My 2007 Mustang (purchased at your dealership in 2008) was in a collision and needed repair. My insurance carrier, State Farm, indicated that Jim Keim Ford was a preferred shop, so I chose Jim Keim since I know the dealership from having my car serviced there. As I mentioned, my experience was great, Mike took wonderful care of me and my car. He called me regularly to keep me informed on the progress of the repair. The car looks brand new again! Later in the evening on the day I picked up the car, I heard a small noise in the panel that showed up at highway speed (I don't think the technicians could have heard it). Mike had someone ride with me the next day to hear it, and it was fixed in the same day. I have already told people they should go to Jim Keim for any body shop work for the work your shop does is excellent and timely. "

Patricia, 2012 Ford Taurus Owner, Columbus, Ohio


"This was the best car buying experience I’ve ever had in 35 years: no high pressure tactics, no long delays to wear the customer down, no long drawn out “haggling”. Bob was an excellent representative of your company. He was knowledgeable, patient and immediately came off as honest so was the financial person Tom. I had been to several other dealers and I was very unhappy with how I was treated. They used all the typical car sales tricks and two were so bad I walked out of them. I feel that dealing with Jim Keim’s people is very much like dealing with family! I have absolutely no reservation in recommending Jim Keim Ford as a place to buy cars from!"
Bill, 2012 Ford Focus Owner, Columbus, Ohio


"Jim Keim Ford, Thursday night, June 14, we held our third annual wine tasting fundraiser, SOS Pops the Cork, at York Golf Club. Because of people like you it was a huge success, even in this economy, raising more than $11,000! We are extremely pleased with the event and the comments we received about it. Thank you so much for continuing to support us with your sponsorship of $250. In the past eleven years we have awarded more than $220,000 in financial aid for education to women of low income. We have paid for tuition, books, child care, computers, and transportation – whatever will help these deserving women attain their educational goals and subsequent occupation improvement. Most of these women are single, working mothers who are an inspiring example for their children. In the current economy these women are suffering greater financial hardships than ever. From this one fund raiser we have more than $11000 to put toward our scholarships. Thank you for the part you played in making this event such a resounding success. Without your support, SOS would not be able to achieve its mission. Because you care, many more women will have a chance to change their life’s direction."
Sincerely,

Clare Anderson Vice-President, Fundraising

James, 2011 Ford F-150 Owner, Worthington, Ohio


"This is my third new Ford from this dealer since 2002. I've bought parts here and I've used the service dept. and body shop. No complaints from me. The SYNC system is new to me but the salesman assured me that I can call or stop by for help. My 2002 F-150 only has 210,000 miles so I'll be driving it for some time yet but, when it's time to replace it, I'll be back again. Keim Ford is a good outfit."

"My car buying experience was great. Kevin Martin went above and beyond what he needs to do to make the sale. My cell phone would not sync to my new car so he gave me a phone he had recently replace. I don't know any other sales person that would do this. He's been my salesman and friend for a long time I truly appreciated what he did for me. Kevin gets a GOLD star in my book. We will be back when we need another car."
Donna, 2012 Escape Owner, Columbus, Ohio


"Excellent overall process"
Charles, 2012 Focus Owner, Columbus, Ohio


"Overall, it was a great experience to replace my old F-150 with a new Edge."
Larry, 2012 Edge Owner, Upper Arlington, Ohio


"Everything was great. John Lee the guy I was working with also the finance guy were wonderful and stayed well past their normal hours to help satisfy nagging parents and what would really be right for me, and then he went over all the SYNC stuff with me on a later date. Everyone was friendly and very very helpful, with John checking in later with me when I got my remote start put in, making sure everything went ok. I am however a little upset about one thing though. My dad made sure to make sure that I got floor mats in my car as we have had bad luck with that in the past. I DID get front mats but did not receive back mats and was not told I didn’t receive them. I have now had to put a trash bag in the back so no one ruins my floors in the back. If I would have known that when I bought it, I would have added that to the bill as its not practical at the time for me to spend 100 bucks on just back floor mats. Other than that I feel like everyone I worked with went above and beyond to help me to have a positive buying experience at Ford. Thanks"

"Travis is excellent!"
Susan, 2009 Focus Owner, Hilliard, OH


"We started out looking for a Ford F-150 truck with all the things we wanted on it. We found that over the internet at your dealership. I talked to John Lee and Ken Peltz over the phone about this truck and the one we had just bought in August at a local dealership. The three out drive to your dealership was well worth our time. Your staff, especially John and Ken, treated us like family. They went out of their way to deal with us like no other dealership has done before. Tom Stock went out of his way to get us the lowest rate possible on our financing. We have not experienced that before in a car deal. You have great team and dealership! If the need arises, we wouldn’t hesitate to visit your team again. As Tom Stock says, “You are good people!” and that is hard to find in the car business. Thanks you for all you do! We would recommend Kim Keim Ford to anyone."
Tim and Nell, 2011 F-150 Owner, Paris, KY

I received the second check earlier this week and when totals, it was for the full amount of the of the original cost of the April 2009 repairs. Obviously I was pleased with the outcome. As I mentioned in earlier correspondence, to Jim Keim service department staff has provided excellent customer service throughout this process.

"He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was the nicest salesman and most willing to help out of the many Ford dealerships I visited during the couple of weeks I was looking for a new Mustang! I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a new Ford!"
Steven, 2012 Ford Mustang Owner, Piedmont, Ohio


"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. "

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. "

"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

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.

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.

I have already referred two people to Jim Keim Ford. "
Gil, 2011 Explorer Owner, Columbus, Ohio

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 was left to make my own decision without pressure from John. "
Terry, 2011 Focus Owner, Columbus, 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! "

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. "

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! "

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. "

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the buying experience and the car. THANK YOU. "
Cindy, 2010 Ford Taurus Owner, Orient, Ohio

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

"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!! "

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. "

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

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

Andy, Galloway, OH, 2010 Ford Escape Owner

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.

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. "

"

"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."

"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

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."
