Who is Akins Ford? 

We have proudly served Winder, Georgia for many years. Our dealership started all the way back in 1966 and now we can boast having over 500 employees and 8 buildings spread across 72 acres. We have accomplished all of this by ensuring that we always put our customers needs ahead of our own. We want you to not only have the best car buying or servicing experience possible while you are here, we want to make sure that you have the best overall automotive experience possible. We will show you the vehicles that you want to see and tell you what service you need, all in a safe, comfortable, and friendly environment.

Our strategic commitment to sustainability is exemplified by our comprehensive green energy initiative that has already generated $300,000 in annual savings through energy-efficient HVAC systems and interior and exterior LED lighting, reducing every watt that must be produced by less environmentally friendly means. Complementing these measures, we have installed nearly 900 solar modules across four rooftops along with a state-of-the-art solar canopy that covers our EV chargers, yielding an estimated 43% increase in energy savings and producing the equivalent energy needed to power 80 homes for a year. Moreover, our 19 EV chargers—comprising three Level 3 DC, five Level 2 AC, and eleven mobile charging points—can generate 1.7 million kWh with 60 hours of charging per week, enabling a battery electric vehicle to travel up to 6 million miles annually, all from our 72-acre lot in Winder, GA.

We're here for whatever you need

When you need a new vehicle, we believe that you should not just limit yourself to one model or even one brand, and that is why we have such a huge selection of new vehicles that almost always has over 1800 vehicles to offer. We have Ford, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles that all fully represent what their brand has to offer. We even have the commercial vehicles that you want and need in your business. When you are looking for a new vehicle, you need options. There is no one vehicle that is right for everybody, but at Akins Ford in Winder, we have enough vehicles to guarantee that we have the right vehicle for you.

We know that not all our customers are interested in getting a new vehicle just yet. If you just need an automotive solution, then maybe we can interest you in our selection of used vehicles. We almost always have over 200 used vehicles on offer, and usually around half of those vehicles are certified pre-owned. That means that you get the comfort of a manufacturer's warranty at the cheaper price point of a used vehicle. We know that you deserve a quality vehicle, even if you have a limited budget, and that is why we take the time to quality inspect every used vehicle that comes onto our lot before we offer it to you.

Testimonials

Wonderful experience. Bought new Mustang convertable completely online while sitting at a customer in New Jersy. Joe Sullivan (my salesman) and Jordan the finance guy made everything easy as can be. Picked up my car a week later. Joe had it all ready. Just grab n go. Nice people. No 'sales shenanigans'. Probably my last new car but if not, I'll definitely return to Aikins.

Brought my Explorer in for a water pump and Mike Sanders was my advisor. Mike is an all around great advisor. He was polite, professional and kept me up to date every step of the way. Picked up my car today and he had it waiting up front for me. I always knew what my car was needing and where it was in the process. Id also like to say thank you to Sterling for his assistance as well. Highly recommend these guys.
