I have been getting my oil changed on my new truck purchased at Akins since 2020. Fairly good service until this week. The tech left two oily hand prints on my hood. now some may say oh thats not a big deal. I say its not professional, who would want this kind of service? I certainly don't appreciate it! This shows a bad attitude and lack of concern for the customer. I've got to wonder if they cant take a second to grab a rag or remove their greasy gloves, what are they going to do if the job is actually difficult? A tech this lazy should be fired before he ruins the good reputation of the dealership. May sound harsh, but I think there are plenty of good techs around that could use a job.

I can always count on Akin to treat me like I am an important customer. They take time to explain what is being done, what needs to be done, and what it will cost. Everyone who works there is friendly and helpful - at least Ive never run across anyone who isn't. I started doing business with them in 2019 after having dealt with 2 other dealerships. Akin is far and away the best.

Had a great experience with Akins Ford. Specifically Ron Marsh, as a salesperson, was excellent. Straight to the point, no salesmen tactics, all around great experience. I purchased an Audi SQ5, which Ron immediately shared that he knew very little on as he works at a Ford dealership. This kind of transparency and honesty is rare and appreciated. Highly recommend working with Ron Marsh and the team here. Just remember that this is ultimately a business and trying to make money/stay afloat, so do your due diligence on trade-in values, packages, warranties, etc. and decide what is right for you.

Loved this dealership! I was greeted the moment I stepped out of my car. I was getting unreasonably overcharged at other dealerships due to the shortage in chips and cars, but here at Akins Ford I received a very fair deal on my dream car. Heck, the car even came with a supercharger. No complaints whatsoever about this dealership. Each of the staff member were very helpful and supportive throughout the buying process.
They made me feel like a real champ for buying my Mach 1. If you're looking for a mustang, then I recommend doing business with Kenny Fletcher! A true Georgia boy. He's a real "smiles per gallon" type of guy, and I hope he gets his Mach 1 soon! Join the club man. Also, the service area is awesome. Coffee, Ice cream, and fountain drinks are a great touch that truly adds to the customer experience. Great cars, great atmosphere, great dealership. Thank you.

Clay Robinson was the best! We've been through many dealerships the past six months trying to find the right place to trade our truck in for a family car and he helped us tremendously. Let us take our time looking through all the suvs and got things taken care of quickly as we had our newborn with us. Walked in not thinking it would work to walking out with our car. Thank you Clay and Ford Akins winder.

Recently purchased a 2022 F150 Lauriat from Akin Ford. We worked with Jeff Little and Dayton Overstreet who were awesome. Both were helpful with information and facilitating the sale. Bill Reiser in finance was extremely helpful as well and even had us sign everything electronically so we could drop in the next day and just pick up the truck! Highly recommend them!
