Has anyone purchased from Jim Tidwell Ford in Kennesaw?

If so, how did it go? Were there any hidden fees or surprise charges?

I'm thinking about purchasing from them and just curious about others' experiences.

I purchased from Angela Krause Ford in Alpharetta. They were a bit clueless about the Mach-E, but then again, I was one of their first customers for this car. They took X Plan pricing. I would buy from them again.

Hey, Anyone in the area looking at coatings? I have never gotten one before but all the bugs and junk on my car from a road trip to TN is making me think I need to do something.
I had most of my MME car covered in PPF by Speedfilm in Roswell.

I test drove a Dark Matter Gray Premium at Angela Krause Ford last week. I asked the salesman about ADM, and he said they add $5,000 ADM. I asked if I bought the car online from Ford, would there be ADM added, and he said no. I emailed the GM about X-Plan and haven't received a reply (they have no email addresses listed on their website, I found the GM's email on Ford.com reviews).

I did get a reply from the Jim Tidwell GM and he confirmed they honor X-Plan, the doc fee is $100 (instead of their usual $699), and there are no other fees except government fees. So that's why I was leaning towards buying from them.

I want email confirmation that they honor X-Plan before I order. I also emailed a few other dealers but haven't heard back.

I was thinking about doing the exact same thing. What exactly did you purchase? Do you mind if I ask how much it cost?

Which package did you end up going with?
It was a custom install -- the entire front end, the four doors, and the back bumper by the liftgate. A little over $2,000.00

I went with Hardy Family Ford in Dallas, GA. Excellent experience and I'd ask for Robert. No hidden fees, no tricks, accepted X-Plan pricing with no issues. They submitted the title paper work a little later than I would have preferred but I got my plates within the 45 days.

I went with Vivid Auto Solutions in Kennesaw (they are moving to Roswell soon). Had them do XPEL for partial front (partial hood, fenders, mirrors, front bumper). Also had them do a ceramic coating on entire car. Turned out pretty well.

Also had Tint Atlanta (Marietta) do ceramic tint on all the Windows.

I paid about $850 for the partial front coverage. I think they did a good job but the black trim pieces around the front of the grill weren't covered due to XPEL not having that as part of the kit. Their price was on-par with other shops in the Kennesaw/Marietta area.

I used " Zero Defects" Chris Kessler in Braselton, GA. 404-406-3355. Xpel the front end and wing mirrors, ceramic coated the car and tinted the front two windows to match the back.
