Mike Shad Ford
Auto · Orange Park
Mike Shad Ford is the Stay Safe Jax catalog name for the Ford store at 7700 Blanding Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32244, on the Orange Park / Westside Blanding corridor. Google Places currently lists that same lot as AutoNation Ford Orange Park. This Stay Safe Jax page is only that Blanding Boulevard Ford point. It is not Duval Ford at 1616 Cassat Avenue, not Fields Cadillac at 7999 Blanding Boulevard, and not Hyundai of Orange Park at 7600 Blanding Boulevard.
An earlier Places dump could not confidently match the Mike Shad Ford name and left the Google card empty. Public records still point to the same lot. A WeSalute profile dated April 28, 2001, said Mike Shad joined AutoNation in 1997 when the company acquired the Mike Shad Ford dealership and another Shad-owned Chrysler, Plymouth, Jeep store in Jacksonville, and that Shad stayed on as president of those two stores plus other AutoNation operations here. MapQuest still files “Ford Authorized Sales & Service Mike Shad Ford Lincoln Mercury of Orange Park” at 7700 Blanding Boulevard. The Better Business Bureau files AutoNation Ford Orange Park at that same address, not accredited, with alternate names AutoNation, Inc. and AutoNation Ford Lincoln Orange Park. Stay Safe Jax treats that as a documented rebrand of the same Ford franchise, not a guess and not a warning.
Public ratings on this page are stored snapshots, not live scores. Google Places currently lists AutoNation Ford Orange Park at 4.5 from 4,903 reviews for 7700 Blanding Boulevard. Stay Safe Jax previously stored no Google rating because the Mike Shad name did not match cleanly. This page now uses the AutoNation Ford Orange Park snapshot. Stay Safe Jax has no stored Yelp rating, so the headline is the Google snapshot: 4.5 from 4,903 reviews. Those numbers do not refresh when someone opens the page. A mid-4 Google file on a high-volume Ford store is ordinary. Mixed dealer comments about sales pressure or service waits are not, by themselves, an Attorney General case.
