The Gates Ford Harlow Team - Rating 5.0Oct 28, 2025Rickie Meads was absolutely amazing, very understanding and patient with all our questions. He very quickly acknowledged us and listened to what we were after. We shared that we had been to another ford dealer closer to home but he was very unprofessional and dismissive,not even a chair was offered the two time we visited so we went to Harlow and met Rickie who changed our view. He was very friendly and professional. He kept us in the loop and updated with the car arrival. He explained everything we needed to know and was wonderful. Thank you for making getting the car for my mum easy and hassle free. You were absolutely great. Thank you for all you have done, May you stay blessed.

The Gates Ford Harlow Team - Rating 1.0Sep 8, 2025I found it very disgusting. I spoke to them on the phone who told me to be there before 9 o’clock and I would have a wait appointment after I got there.
