If I could give more than 5 stars I would. By far the best ford dealership or dealership period we’ve been to. It was so worth the hour and 45 min drive for us. I left with my dream vehicle a brand new 2026 f250 that was customized. Thank you so much to our salesman Jacob Hamilton and the sales manager Ian Cone. The most welcoming, laid back/ friendly people you will come across at a dealership. The small town feel that we love! I highly recommend making the drive to Bartow Ford if you’re not local just for the great customer service they offer. I am in love with my truck and beyond happy with our experience. Thank you so much Jacob & Ian and Bartow Ford! We will be back!
As a first time buyer, Bartow Ford has set the standard for me. Salesman Zachariah Overlock took over this sale passionately, knowledgeably, and professionally which led to me taking home my new 2025 Marsh Grey Ford Ranger! Sales manager Ian Cone was involved with his group hands on resulting in a great experience with all team members involved. I highly recommend going to Bartow Ford if you are looking to purchase your next vehicle!
I recently purchased a new Ford King Ranch from Bartow Ford, where my salesman, Chandler Drake, provided exceptional service throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him to anyone in the market for a new vehicle. His professionalism and courtesy made for a most enjoyable purchasing experience. I would like to extend my gratitude to Chandler Drake for his outstanding assistance.
I had an incredible experience working with Jacob Hamilton when purchasing my new Jeep truck. He was knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire process smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. He took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I got exactly what I wanted without any pressure. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a genuine, professional, and top-notch car-buying experience! I got exactly what I wanted and he was the best! 10/10 recommend, and thank you so so so much again Jacob! Lolly and Ben in the finance department were also absolutely amazing! They were so nice and helpful! This dealership still has that nice hometown family feel to it. It was a superb experience all around.
This was our first purchase from Bartow Ford and we will now be customers for life. Our salesman John was exceptional. The entire process was smooth and stress free. John helped us find the perfect vehicle for us and there was absolutely no high pressure sales or surprise fees. He is straight forward, honest and a great guy. I highly recommend Bartow Ford and John for your car buying needs.

Shopping for a vehicle at Bartow Ford in Bartow, Florida? Follow these steps to buy with confidence.
Pull the vehicle history report
Run a CARFAX or AutoCheck report using the VIN before you visit. Look for accident history, odometer rollbacks, and title brands like salvage or flood. Ask Bartow Ford if a report is available for any listing.
Take a thorough test drive
Drive on both city streets and the highway. Accelerate hard. Brake firmly. Listen for any clunks, vibrations, or warning lights. Test the AC, heat, and all electronics during the drive.
Inspect for hidden wear
Check for uneven panel gaps, mismatched paint, or overspray — signs of past bodywork. Push on each corner of the car to test the shocks. Look underneath for frame damage, fluid leaks, or rust.
Get a pre-purchase inspection
Have a trusted mechanic inspect any used vehicle before you buy. A $100–$150 PPI can uncover issues that save you thousands. Ask Bartow Ford if a third-party inspection is permitted.
Negotiate the out-the-door price
Focus on the total out-the-door price, not the monthly payment. Understand every fee on the sales contract before signing. Dealer add-ons like paint protection and VIN etching are negotiable at Bartow Ford.
