Bob Ridings Taylorville: We drove 147 miles in anticipation in buying a vehicle, when we got there we were greeted by sales people and David. We told him what we were looking for and he showed us some of the cars. He told us about the owner and the business and we picked out the one we wanted and he worked up the deal to meet our needs and satisfaction. He offered us drinks and hamburgers and then when it was time to sign papers, we met with Tara and she was very friendly. It is nice to know that you can drive that far and leave happy. To our surprise we were given a hat and dozen roses...As a whole we give the whole dealership 5 stars. We recommend this business to our friends.

James Devon
Bob Ridings Taylorville: We have a Ford dealership within two (2) miles of our home, but after the initial visit with Jeff Cowell, we knew the extra miles were well worth the trip. He is definitely an asset to the dealership. Jeff goes way beyond what I have ever experienced in the past when purchasing a car, promptly returning calls and answering all our questions, searching for an Edge with the exact options we wanted, but when that Edge was not out there, ordering it was so easy. From beginning to end, the whole experience has been actually pleasant. Great job Jeff, well done!
Phillip Curry

Gregory Poole
Bob Ridings Taylorville: Bought a 2014 used Dodge here yesterday. As we were walking toward the used cars Mr. Ridings came up in his golf cart and helped us find exactly what we were looking for. We were really impressed that Mr. Ridings would take the time to help us look when he knew we were only looking at used cars. We think that says a lot about him and the people at his stores. By the way, Justin and the Finance Manager were both great to work with too. I don't trust any Springfield dealer. It is nice to have a car dealer that treats you like an intelligent human being. Thank you everybody at Bob Ridings.
Chris Licht
Bob Ridings Taylorville: We had shopped our hometown (Lincoln) and couldn't find a good deal on a nice used vehicle in our price range so we went to Bloomington, Clinton and Springfield. Still no luck so my husband went online to Bob Ridings site..found a couple of vehicles that fit our criteria. So he called and got Jeff Webb on the phone as the saleman who promptly invited us to make the trip to Taylorville. Jeff was outstanding in his customer service to us from that 1st phone conversation to the day we picked up our Ford Edge from him. He is such a friendly. .enthusiastic and personable young man. We immediately felt comfortable and at ease with Jeff and at no time did we ever feel like we we're being pressured or"steered"into doing anything other than what we wanted to do. This I liked? We will be bringing our daughter over in the near future so Jeff can put her in a new vehicle as well! And we most definitely will recommend Bob Ridings Ford for a vehicle and Jeff Webb to sell them that vehicle. Thank you for a pleasant enjoyable car shopping/buying experience.? I don't see our pic posted on the site with our Edge tho?
Rose Robertson
Bob Ridings Taylorville: My wife and I were very please with our experience at Ridings in Taylorville. We got the car we wanted at the price needed. Everyone worked together to accomplish this. Our salesman Jacob Lahr has to be one of the best salesman I have ever worked with. He was polite, kind, helpful, and real. Not the usual phony. My rule is like this, If I have a bad experience with the salesman and I feel like he is trying to make my decisions for me, I will not return. We will with out a doubt refer friends and family to visit Bob Ridings in Taylorville and also request Jacob Lahr as their salesman. Thank You, Todd Ater
Todd Ater
Bob Ridings Taylorville: We knew we were in good hands with Jeff and would go to him first when purchasing another vehicle.
Kyle Galayda
Bob Ridings Taylorville: Always made to feel that the Bob Ridings Team is looking out for me.
Gary Letterly
Bob Ridings Taylorville: We were very satisfied with the service and the great deal that we received. We have been telling others about you.
Terry Wells
Bob Ridings Taylorville: We met Jeff Webb Thursday night. We talked to him around a hour. We told him we would come back Saturday to test drive some vehicles in daylight and hopefully warmer weather. I told my wife Debbie that we would buy her car through Jeff because of his honesty and he was not a pushy salesman. Debbie took Friday off from work to pursue her goal of getting a newer car. Jeff was very energetic in providing us with warm ready vehicles to test drive. Jeff did a fabulous job in providing answers to any and all of our questions. If Jeff didn't have a answer to a question he looked it up or went to others for help. We were going to use TCU for financing. Jeff Webb turned us on to the best loan rate thru Bob Ridings Ford. Thank you Bob Ridings Ford for getting Debbie into a newer car.
Deborah Radzimanowsky
Bob Ridings Taylorville: I think that Jason is wonderful, this is our second vehicle in the driveway from Jason! I have referred friends and family to Jason because I know he will take care of them as if they were his family
Sarah Disney
Bob Ridings Taylorville: Garrett Ulmer is an excellent sales person! His friendly and honest personality shines in his work! We totally enjoyed working with him!
Thomas Hedden
Bob Ridings Taylorville: I came to look at a specific truck. It was ready for me to check out when I got there. I found out on the way to the dealership that I had a short amount of time to be there. I drove the truck, got my trade in offer, and bought the truck. I thought I would have to come back to finish the paperwork, but everyone involved pulled together and got me going quickly. I live 75 miles away, so a saved trip was great. I had great treatment, and the fastest sale and paperwork ever. Great job everyone.
Todd Wilcoxen
Bob Ridings Taylorville: Don't know of any other place that I leave and I'm saying to myself "I love this place"!...great service department, I was treated like family!.... I would never bug a vehicle from another dealer. Bob Ridings is the tops!
Ross Parks
Bob Ridings Taylorville: We recently purchased our sixth vehicle from bob ridings. The two salesmen that we had purchased thru are no longer at this dealership, so that's all there is to say about that....but the service department is why we keep coming back. JAY, TRAVIS and the rest of the service department are top notch. whenever we had a problem they took care of what ever it might be. Recently, our battery died on our new car. With a phone call, they came and picked up the vehicle and fixed the problem, then delivered the car back to our home while we were at work! So the car was ready when we came home. There are more examples, but I'll keep this short. The bottom line is, this service department is why we continually purchase, happily, from bob ridings.
C. Lavin
Bob Ridings Taylorville: Jeff Cowell is a great sales person at Bob Ridings Ford at Taylorville. I have bought two new vehicles from Jeff and I have been very happy with each purchase. Jeff was very easy to work with and he went to great lengths to make sure that everything was right with the vehicles. Jeff met all of my expectations and has won my trust and future business. The sales and service department at Bob Ridings is gets an A+ rating from me.
Brian Rieck
Bob Ridings Taylorville: Jason Bough at Bob Ridings in Taylorville, IL was great to work with! It's the second car we've purchased there and he was our salesperson both times. We'll remember him next time we need to buy a vehicle.
Dolores Mobley
Bob Ridings Taylorville: I have bought many vehicles/trucks in my time. Garrett by far has been the BEST salesperson I have ever dealt with. I had many questions and he had all the answers without going to some other person. the other things I valued the most is that fact he did not pressure me. he gave me time to think about this truck deal. on pricing, I noticed he did not run back and forth to someone in the background to get answers. he did it right there for me. I'm not use to that at all. Another thing that you as a dealership need to know. Garrett worked with me on days when he was off either by phone or text messaging. that was awesome. I am a supt for Ameren and I value my co-workers on principles that are much like your employee. this guy is an awesome salesperson. I hope any young salespeople you may hire gets put under his wing to learn how to sell vehicles. thank you very much. I love my truck. I hope this gets passed on to Garrett.
Robert Barcum
Bob Ridings Taylorville: Been driving from 30-50 miles since late 80's to do business with the great people at Bob Ridings in Taylorville. Will continue to do so as long as I am able.

Carlmelo Montes
Bob Ridings Taylorville: Love my 2012 Escape that I purchased at Bob Ridings. I always dread the hassle of buying a car but dealing with Jason was a pleasure. Loved the roses too! I would recommend Bob Ridings to my friends.
Carla Fight
Bob Ridings Taylorville: I just wanted to take the time to write to you and to tell you how much this purchase has really meant to me. My son is so proud and so happy with his first new truck. The timing couldn't have been better. He lost a very dear uncle on the very day we came to buy the truck. It was a very difficult time for him. Between you and Kim you made his dream come true. By delivering the truck to our home in Springfield and making the paperwork so easy to fill out, and by sending the nicest gentlemen possible to our home, you truly showed how you would go above and beyond for one of your customers. And I don't think you could've asked for a better person to advertise for you. The truck is polished and clean every day and proudly has your sticker on the tailgate. He has also told everyone he talks to everything that you did for him. The camouflage hat and the roses only top everything off. Again I just want to say that this whole transaction meant more to me than you will ever know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making his dream come true. When you walked us into that shop and showed us that truck, I could see his eyes light up and I just knew in my heart that that was the truck for him! I guarantee you that you will have many more customers because of him!!!! Please share this letter with your boss and Kim and tell them I said thank you!

Bob Ridings Taylorville: 2nd Vehicle we have purchased from B. Ridings with Ron P. Ron is "fun" to work with, his vehicle knowledge is exemplary, his professionalism, courtesy, willingness to go the extra mile and find the "perfect" vehicle of our choice and affordability. We have highly recommended Bob Ridings, Taylorville and Ron Pritchard in particular. IF we don't keep this beautiful 2014 Edge forever, we'll be back. We allow Bob Ridings service to maintain all service needs and are very pleased with the Ridings service Department. Of course with such quality and craftsmanship in Ford products, simple maintenance is all we ever needed. We have loved all our Fords; 1990 Ranger, 2000 Ranger, 2007 Ford Escape from Bob Ridings, traded up to a 2012 Ford Escape and then traded up to the 2014 Edge. We couldn't be happier, but, I would almost recommend one thing for consumers. When purchasing a brand new vehicle with all the new electronic bells and whistles, it would almost be a great benefit to hold new owner classes on Saturday afternoons to assist consumers with understanding all the new "toys" on their vehicle so they can easily, safely drive their new vehicle utilizing all it has to offer.

Bob Ridings Taylorville: Tim and I had the pleasure of working with Scott Henne this past week while we attempted to find the "perfect car" for us. Scott was wonderful to work with, very knowledgeable and provided excellent customer service on every aspect and it made the job of finding the right car easy to do. Scott took the time to show us all the features as well as setting some features up for us like our iPhone since we have never had a car with so many features. He also took care of a few items that needed to be fixed on the car prior to our purchasing it. We really appreciated his commitment to customer service. I would also like to mention our interaction with Tim (finance) was also a great experience. Tim was knowledgeable on the programs that Ford offered and was able to answer all our questions and made the car purchase a pleasant experience. I would not hesitate to return to your dealership in the future for any additional needs we have as well as spread the word of a great experience to anyone I know in the market for a vehicle.

Bob Ridings Taylorville: The car we bought was for our kids and I feel we purchased it at a fair and reasonable price. It hit everything we wanted, low mileage, mid size car, fair price, safety and the Doge Avenger was the perfect color and look for a 19 year old college student. Service was great and even though it was getting very late I didn't feel pushed out the door.

Bob Ridings Taylorville: Excellent staff!!! Great service!!!! We have purchased 4 vehicles from the Ridings family dealerships (Taylorville and Pana) in the past 13 years. Our salesman, Jeff Cowell, always takes great care of us! Jay Ward and Travis Corpin in the service department do everything that they can for us! The ladies in the office are amazing! We used the finance department for the first time last year and couldn't be happier with their help! Saving the best for last, Geoff Sarginson, sales manager, has never let us down and we greatly appreciate him! The Bob Ridings family has become our family over the years and we would never buy a vehicle anywhere else!!!

Bob Ridings Taylorville: Jason, Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that I appreciated your professionalism in your profession. You, again made the truck buying/trading a very reasonable experience. As a salesman myself for 30+ year, I can appreciate that you are straight forward, honest, and do not try to do anything but make a reasonable deal that both dealer and buyer can live with. This is all that a customer should ever expect. I really am enjoying the new truck and appreciate your efforts in finding exactly what I wanted; then getting it delivered from the other dealer. Know that I'll always give you an opportunity to have my business-at least I've found that Bob Ridings Ford has been willing to be reasonable in their negotiations for new vehicles. I still remember that I was visiting with Mr. Ridings on my last purchase and he said that you all were "just down there having a good time selling cars"--sounded good to me!

Bob Ridings Taylorville: We wanted to write and tell you what a Fantastic sales consultant you have in Garrett Ulmer. Right from our first email inquiring about the 2010 Sport Trac we viewed on the internet, Garret has been very prompt returning our emails and calls. When we first arrived to look at the truck, Garrett had it ready for us, indoors out of the heat so we could get a good look at it. He even had the air conditioning on so we could feel it working on this very hot day. When we inquired about daytime running lights (needed in Canada) he checked right away with service and immediately we had our answer and they were activated. When we arrived to pick up the Sport Trac two weeks later, Garrett had it sitting out front waiting for us - washed, gassed up and ready for its journey home. He helped us get the appropriate paper work needed to bring the truck across the border (Customs) without any delays and to our home in London, Ontario, Canada. It was because of Garrett's amazing service that we made the trip twice (1936 km/1200 miles each trip)

Bob Ridings Taylorville: I just want to express my gratitude that you and all of your staff at Bob Ridings extended to me during my positive experience of purchasing a vehicle from you all. You were more than courteous to me and made me feel very comfortable. Although I drove approximately 7 hours to get to your location, I left feeling that I would definitely entertain the possibility of making the trip again if in fact you had the specific vehicle that I wanted. My new (to me) Expedition EL Limited will be a vehicle that my family will enjoy for many years ahead. We intend to take this on a 12 hr. road trip to Outerbanks of North Carolina. With this, you know that this vehicle will help reduce the stress that comes with 3 toddlers. My wife and 3 children were waiting at the door when I returned home late that evening. We all must have spent 15 minutes "playing" in the vehicle before it was time to put the kids down for bed. My wife truly loved the roses and I am wearing the new hat even as I type this letter! Again, thanks so much for the positive experience and I will try to persuade anyone I know to check out your website and inventory because you all truly have a "truck farm" on-site!!!
