Jarrett-Gordon Ford Davenport FAQs Frequently Asked Questions in Davenport, Florida

How do I prepare for a test-drive in Davenport, Florida?

For starters, bring your valid driver’s license with you. We also recommend looking into the models that fit your budget beforehand. Think about what aspects of each vehicle you want to examine, whether these include speed, seat comfort, or hands-free driving technology! You can even test drive more than one vehicle.

Should I buy a vehicle from the dealership lot or factory-order one?

It depends on how much customization you crave! Our inventory is very accommodating, so we recommend starting there. But if we don’t have what you need — whether that’s a specific performance upgrade or appearance package — we’re happy to order a new model straight from the factory, just for you!

Do you charge dealer fees?

Dealer fees are a standard part of buying a car. In Florida, dealers are required to disclose all fees, so all you need to do is ask for a breakdown! They typically include title, registration, and document fees.

Where’s the most reliable dealership service department in Polk County?

You’ll find us just off I-4 in sunny Davenport, Florida, centrally located between Lakeland and Orlando! We’re equipped to perform all necessary maintenance services, from oil changes to tire replacements. Visit us at Jarrett-Gordon to keep your car, truck, or SUV in excellent working condition! As an official Ford retailer, we make it a point to utilize OEM parts. Not only are OEM parts specially designed for peak performance in your Ford, but they’ll also help you maintain the integrity of your warranty.

Can you tell me what’s wrong with my car?

Whether you’re hearing a weird noise or can’t get your engine to fire up, we can sort it out. Our experienced technicians are specially trained to work on Ford vehicles, but we’re also knowledgeable about a wide range of makes and models. Bring your car to us for repairs you can trust!

Is mobile service available? What about pickup and drop-off options?

Yes and yes! To save yourself some time and effort, you can schedule mobile service and we’ll send a technician out to you. However, not every service can be done in your driveway. That’s why we also offer pickup and delivery. While you kick back and relax at home, we’ll drive your car to our shop and return it when we’re done.

Why should I service my car at the dealership and not an independent shop?

Our certified technicians are experts in the field! Plus, our state-of-the-art shop is equipped to diagnose and repair even the most complex problems. And unlike many independent shops, we always use OEM parts. Plus, we’ll help you maintain your vehicle warranty and keep detailed service records!

What are your current service specials?

Here at Jarrett-Gordon, we honor all official Ford coupons, offers, and rebates. Specials often include discount maintenance bundles and rebates on parts. Check out the automaker’s official website for current offers. You can save money on maintenance when you purchase multiple services in one go. For instance, The Works package helps you save on an oil change, tire rotation, and more! Just bring the printed or digital coupon with you and show it to your service rep when you drop off your vehicle!

What’s the difference between leasing and financing?

When you lease a car, you don’t own it. Instead, you sign an agreement that lets you drive it for either 48 or 60 months. You agree to limit mileage and general wear, because you’re going to return it to the dealership when your lease ends. Compared to financing, you end up spending a lot less, because you only pay for the car’s depreciation. When your lease ends, you get to lease another brand new car! Leasing is a great way to drive a brand new Ford every few years.

When you finance, you take out a loan for the entire value of your new car. Financing is a great option for anyone who wants to drive their car for more than a few years. When you finish repaying your loan, the car is yours and you get to cruise around, free and clear of monthly payments. Financing is also best for anyone who drives much more than 10,000 miles every year!

Can I purchase my vehicle when my lease ends?

Yes! If you love your lease so much you can’t let it go (or you simply want to avoid excess mileage fees), you can buy it! Schedule an appointment with the dealership where you signed the lease to complete your purchase.

Should I get pre-approved for financing before I visit the dealership?

It’s not necessary, but pre-approval can help you figure out how much you can spend at the dealership. Check out our online credit approval portal or apply for financing with Capital One right here on our website.

Can I get a trade-in estimate without visiting the dealership?

Yes. For a little extra help planning your purchase, check out our trade-in estimator. Our monthly payment calculator is also available to help you balance your monthly budget!
