My wife wants to get a Ford vehicle, but I don't like the prices that I'm seeing at my local dealerships. I wanted to ask if anyone knows of an Aggie owned dealership that might be able to hook us up with some additional discounts.

I believe Tommie Vaughn is Aggie owned and in Houston. 1ags has ze hookup.

College station ford is owned by Ben keating. He's an AG and owns tomball ford as well.

Flat out works for him I believe.

Is there a good way to reach out or network with them? If I call the dealership, it might be difficult to get on the phone with them.

Did not know this...

I had the absolute worst car buying experience of my life at Tomball Ford. Never, ever again.

Conversely, I had a wonderful experience at Tommie Vaughn Ford and will be a repeat customer.

Tried to buy from Tomball and they blew me off. Went to Joe Myers and had the truck traded over to their lot. Dad did the same thing with them twice. I'll never shop their again.

How does one go about getting 1ags hookup? Is there a contact at the dealership?

email him at user name at gmail for the contact


He lives in China at the moment, so give him time to respond due to time difference

My brother is an AG '88 and said his buying experience at tomball was less than good.

I almost went to go work for Ben at Tomball Ford in 1999. Not sure about his staff but Ben always seemed very nice.

Tomball Ford is the worst.

You have PM

Was it better when you worked there?

I know the service side was ok, but the sales department was awful.

Drove to Caldwell several times to get actual service vs waiting on cs ford. Really nice always got things done like they said they would.

Nope, different corps I believe.

I'll leave it as there is a reason I no longer work as we had a difference of opinions as to what belongs and what doesn't

College Station Ford has made some great changes at the dealership. They are really trying to
turn things around from the previous management.

Simba is an excellent salesman there.

Tomball dodge and tomball ford are both owned by keating.

When did Keating by Dodge?

Chuck Brown Ford. Chuck went to A&M and we've bought lots of field trucks from him. Talked with him on the phone a couple days ago- really nice guy.

I am a Manager at ViperExchange which is on site at Tomball Dodge. Tomball Dodge is owned by Keating whom I work directly with. Ben does own College Station Ford now and Tomball Ford.

I'm really surprised to hear all the bad reviews about Tomball Ford, that is Ben's most successful dealership out of the 14 he owns. Great management team over there as well.

Those you that have had problems at Tomball Ford can you email me some specifics on your experience? awheeler@viperexchange.com

Andy as you know I grew up right down the road from TF/TD. The poor sales process and service are legendary around there. My brother bought his F150 boost there and a VW from CarMax around the same time. Said CarMax was light years beyond TF for ease of purchase.

Keating also owns the Pt. Lavaca Auto group! SHARKTANK!! Stay away.
FLATOUT I have heard of your division. Seems as if you all have a great deal of racing success!!

EDIT TO ADD: 1ags hookup at Tommie Vaughn Ford is the nicest most honest car sales person I have EVER dealt with. I would recommend not buying a Ford without at least giving 1ags hookup a chance.

Don't forget the blood in, blood out clause.
