To quote real St. Louis area customers:
"Words alone can not express how happy I am with my purchase of my new 2021 F-150. I had spend many months looking around town and trying to find the right vehicle for the right price. Other dealerships either were non-responsive or high pressure leaving me dismayed until the day I went to Bo Beuckman and met Rick Leahy. He spent time with my wife and I and asked relevant questions to what I wanted and just spent time with us."
"We ended up ordering a truck to get exactly what I wanted based on Rick's recommendation, and it is an awesome truck. Working with the rest of the team to make the purchase (doing much of it online) was smooth and fast. I want to give everyone at Bo Beuckman Ford a round of applause."
"I don't review businesses often, but I must say this one deserves 5 stars. I ordered a Mach E way back in early September. I was new to the process, and Jeff Liberty was understanding and patient. From the very beginning, there were no surprises regarding pricing, options, etc. He continued to keep me updated on my order through production and all the way to delivery. The best part was I could see my vehicle on a map as it traveled via rail, then truck to the dealer. It took extra time for him to do this as he shared screenshots for roughly 3 weeks. Finally, I was able to take delivery on 4/17/23. Yes long process, but certainly ecstatic about the product and my salesman Jeff who explained everything along the way. I can't thank him and everyone at the dealership for ensuring the process was smooth with all questions answered and no financial surprises at the end. Thanks Again!"
"Jeremy was incredible from the vet go. I just took delivery of a custom ordered F-150, he managed all the details of the order, communication throughout and execution of the finances and delivery. Despite concerns on my part from previous car buying experiences, BB Ford did everything they said they would and stood by price estimates, including rebates at delivery. 2 thumbs way up for this car buying experience, and Jeremy specifically."
