Customer Testimonials
Jeremy was amazing. Kind, prompt, thorough and efficient. He read my personality perfectly and met my energy. I'm always in a hurry with multiple things going on and when I came back to look at a different color Bronco he came buzzing up on a golf cart to run me a key😂 Everyone we came across whether walking through the showroom or outside browsing were friendly and integrated into the entire positive experience. I would absolutely recommend James River Ford but even more so Jeremy for his no pressure, honest service.
Service department is top notch. Their mechanics know what they are doing!
Absolutely blown away by these guys. We were in a serious bind traveling through the area, and with 24 hours they were able to diagnose and fix my Expedition. It needed a new Turbo and they had it over-nighted and I was on the road the next afternoon. They all went way above and beyond and I can't thank them enough.
Who knew car buying could be so much fun! Jeremy was first class and we ended up with a vehicle we absolutely love!!! Thank you Jeremy
Friendly staff, honest answers to question. No pressure sales. Our salesman was knowledgeable and helpful.
Dallas was great to work with!
Steve was very kind and helpful in getting an appointment to have my Ford Explorer recalls taken care of. I also had a damaged windshield cowl needing replaced, he had the part ordered and I was able to dropped off and both the recalls and cowl were taken care of quickly.
I recently but a Yukon from Brett and James River and he was so wonderful to work with. He brought humor and grace, answered my 1,000 questions and was so professional.
Brett Williams was our Salesman and he did an excellent job! I came in not knowing what I wanted and from start to finish, Brett was attentive, personable and found the perfect vehicle for us! I even had a minor issue with one of the features that nobody had an answer for previously. Brett answered that question immediately!! We're so grateful for Brett and James River Ford! We'll be back!!
I have always had issues with buying cars. The salesman always wants to talk to my husband even though it's MY vehicle and his name isn't even going on it. Brett Williams was amazing from the get, I am very straight forward and don't like to play the back and forth game. He picked up on that and this experience was the best I've ever had! In and out in less then 2 hours with keys in hand! Everything I wanted and what I was willing to pay! Adil in finance took great care of me to ... Read More

Dallas was great! Highly recommend
Great experience! Jeremy made it so easy and “unstressful”…….Thanks so much for a GOOD buying experience!
Dallas Dennis was great!! He took a lot of time and was very detailed. I would refer him to all to stop by Ford in Ozark and ask for Dallas!!
With a new driver in the family, followed by the infamous hail storm of 2026, I’ve done a lot of car shopping in the last few months. James River was actually the 3rd or 4th Ford dealer I interacted with over three weeks, looking for a Maverick. The experience here was night and day different from other Ford dealers in the area. Ashley Tidwell was great at answering questions and providing help without being pushy. She heard exactly what I was after and immediately (while I was on the lot) started searching for options that matched on their lot, on ... Read More

Dallas was super helpful, and answered all of our questions.
I highly recommend James River Ford when you are purchasing a new or used vehicle. Cory and Brett worked diligently to earn my business without any high pressure tactics. They negotiated a great deal for me with genuine concern and respected my requests just like family would do. I’m very impressed with their sincerity and work place ethics. Rosie Malay
Thank you to David, our salesman, the finance team and Cory the owner of James River Ford for exceeding our expectations. We traveled 7 1/2 hrs round trip and couldn’t be more pleased with our ‘25 Expedition Max. We will recommend them to all our friends and family.
Our experience at JRF was great. Ashley was our sales associate and she was amazing. If you are looking to buy go see Ashley.
We looked at the Bronco we ended up buy I er the weekend outside of business hours and Ashley reached out first thing Monday after inquiring about it online. She answered all of our questions, let's us take the Bronco on a test drive and walked is through every step of purchasing our new 4x4 toy.

Hands down the best car buying experience I have ever had. Brett was amazing! He listened to what we wanted and we left there extremely happy with our new Bronco. I will never buy a car anywhere but here.
Brett was amazing made the whole experience great. Told him what we could afford and what we wanted. He made everything happen as expected. Great car buying experience!
I had an amazing experience at James River Ford! Even though I still owed money on my old Chevy Traverse with hail damage and had some negative equity, the team treated me with kindness and respect throughout the entire process. They worked hard to help me trade it in and get into a reliable vehicle that will be perfect for my present and future with my kids.
I have been a Chevy person my whole life, so I was nervous about switching to Ford at first. The team encouraged me to keep an open mind and test drive the brand ... Read More

Dallas help me out on my new truck and was such an amazing help. Highly recommend!
Dallas assisted my wife and me in the purchase of our new-to-us vehicle. He was AWESOME!!!! I would highly recommend him to anyone for their next purchase. He was NOT a high pressure salesman AND he gave us something to drink besides water....other places only offered us water.
We bought our vehicle with Ashley and had a great experience! She was patient with our 5 year old, who can get antsy. Adil was also one of our favorites. He made sure we understood everything and was great with our son. We came back about 6 months later to buy another car and again they were great! Even remembered what our son likes! Highly recommend! We are moving out of the area but plan on coming back to this dealership when it is time to upgrade again!
Dallas was absolutely amazing to work with! He was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and made the entire car buying process feel easy. He took the time to answer all of our questions and never made us feel pressured. We truly appreciated how genuine and helpful he was throughout the whole experience. If you’re looking for someone who really cares about his customers, ask for Dallas! Highly recommend!
Brett was a great salesman got me the exact truck I’ve been looking for and made it a great experience would recommend anyone in search of a new vehicle to go to him
Ashley Tidwell And Scot McCarty in Sales were great and easy to work with on the purchase of my new 2026 Ford Maverick Lobo High Edition.
The entire sales team did a fantastic job and kept their word from the very beginning. This was probably the easiest car purchase experience that I’ve ever had. James River Ford kept promises and I got a very fair deal. Oh by the way, I absolutely love my new truck.
Our salesman, Dallas Daniel’s was great! So helpful! Thank you!
Great service all around down to earth great people
Great experience with James River Ford. Ashley Tidwell was so helpful and patient as we visited multiple times while making our decisions. Great culture!

The folks at James River Ford were very professional, helpful, and upfront. I'm glad I did business there and will keep doing so into the future.
Great customer service. Easy to work with. I will continue to go back to service my vehicle here.
I can’t say enough great things about Corey and Jeremy. After my car was totaled in a bad hail storm, I wasn’t expecting to be back in the market for a vehicle so soon. The whole situation was stressful, but they completely turned that around for me.
From start to finish, they made the process of purchasing my 2025 Escape incredibly smooth and straightforward. They were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping me find the right fit without any pressure. They took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I felt confident every step of ... Read More

Good service, always on time.
Jeremy was awesome! We bought our car site unseen and he went out of his way to make sure we were well taken care of!
Had an awesome buying experience with the team at James River Ford! My sales rep Jeremy Calce went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly and I can’t recommend him enough.
Ig you are looking for a Ford product, there is, in my opinion only one dealership to deal with, James River Ford. I have dealt with Mike O'Hare (GM) and Matt Stafford for the last 4 vehicles. They are straight forward and pleasant to deal with. I took my niece to JRF when she told me she wanted to trade vehicles and they took the time and effort to make sure she was happy with her choice prior to driving back to Florida. Mike and Matt do not try and baffle you with BS, they want to sell you a ... Read More

This was my first purchase at James River Ford. Although I have been buying Fords for fifty years. Ashley Tidwell was the salesperson who assisted me. She was great to deal with, great personality, I would highly recommend her to friends and family.
Derek was great
Great service definitely appreciate being able to keep the appointment and not go over.
Jeremy Calce was great!
Dallas, is doing a great job. Very observant.
Dallas helped me find a car for my soon to be 16 year old. Smooth process and answered all my questions!
There customer service care is excellent and Cassidy is the best and he goes out of his way for you
Dallas went out of his way. He brought the MKC from Ozark to Forsyth for us to test drive.
I’ve bought, sold, and traded many, many vehicles and Jeremy Calce was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the first phone call to walking out the dealership with the keys, Jeremy made my three-hour one-way trip worth it. I will definitely remember James River Ford next time I’m ready to buy or trade.
We recently purchased a 2026 Maverick from Derek Brown at James River Ford. The entire experience was pleasant, if you’re looking for a new Ford I highly recommend that you give him the opportunity to earn your business.
Ashley was awesome. Been working with her since the beginning of March. She went above and beyond to get me rolling.
Thanks Dallas, Love my New Mazda 30X Awesome Sales Person!! Thanks for calling today and asking how I like my new car.
David made the process of getting a new car painless thank you david
David is the best! He worked for 2 days going back and forth to try to get me in a Bronco I wanted! And worked hard to get it within my budget! You don’t get that at any other dealer!!
So I can't say enough good about James River Ford and specifically David. I found a truck online, sent a message, received an application/filled it out, was approved in under an hour. Went to the dealership after work, and was out with my new truck in about another hour. And that was only because I had to change something. They were kind, considerate, and got me a better rate than I expected!
Best car buying experience of my life. David communicated very well before we even got to the dealership and had my truck pulled up and ready to go. They gave me a great price and the finance department was great. Will definitely buy from them again!
We just bought a car for my wife and they made it super easy. Dallas did a great job, was super helpful and super humble. Highly recommend these guys!
I have to say that I was happy with my outcome with James River Ford ,Ashley was very much helpful & did her best in helping me get my dream truck !
I haven’t purchased a vehicle from Nick Turnbell yet, but I wanted to leave this review based on my recent experience with him. From our very first conversation, his professionalism and respectfulness stood out immediately. You could genuinely tell he’s a veteran by the way he carries himself and treats people. He was patient, honest, and never once made me feel like just another “deal.” If you’re looking for someone who will treat you like a person instead of just another sale, I highly recommend giving Nick a call. You won’t be disappointed.
Dallas Dennis was amazing and so easy to work with!! Highly recommend!!!!
Derek was absolutely awesome! He made the process very easy for us! He was really patient with all of my questions!
I was in a pinch and the service guys squeezed me in day of. Incredible service! Fast, kind, professional, and great communication. Issues on the truck were fixed right and on the first time. Can’t recommend enough!
Steve in service is great to work with
Great sales team. Made the process very easy. Thank you.
David and his team made it quick and easy!
Brett was very personable and great job of explaining everything and working to get what we needed!
Ashley T did a fantastic job!
Great experience! Aaron made everything quick and easy!
Great establishment. Jacob was particularly helpful. Good rates and fast service. Strongly recommend.
My husband and I are not very experienced in car buying so we are very thankful for the incredible experience we had at James River Ford in Ozark. We had a lot of questions and both Aaron and Tyler were so patient, kind, listened well, and answered all of them with clear explanations. Meeting Cory, the owner, was a nice experience as well. We took a couple of days to make our decision but felt no pressure. Without question, the overall pleasant experience at this dealership, including such great customer service, was a big part of why we said yes! ... Read More

I'd been looking at a few Broncos in town, but I had been hunting for one that had all the packages I was looking for. Jeremy did a great job at reaching out and had an awesome sense of urgency at the dealership. I walked in without an appointment and Tyler jumped in to help right away. Between the both of them; I drove off in a 2026 Bronco that had all of the packages I wanted at a price we were all happy with. No high stress sales, super comfortable talking things out, and win-win for everyone around!
