What to look out for when choosing a Ford dealership
One- and two-star Google reviews of Ford dealers complain of financing, paperwork, title and registration problems. Shelby M. reviewed Leif Johnson Ford of Manor on Google in July 2025: “The finance department is shady! They will lie, and do anything to trick you into spending more and keeping any money owed to you for fear of ‘them’ being charged extra! DON’T BUY ANYTHING EXTRA OR ADD-ON FROM THEM.” What add-ons does the dealer put on the deal, and can you see each one itemized before you sign?
Another complaint in those reviews is long service waits and hard-to-get appointments. A March 2026 Google review of Covert Ford from Arren W. reads: “Was told at the time it would be 1 week to get the parts in so they made me keep my car there. 1 week goes by and no one calls me so I have to follow up and am told it be another week.” Who will call you with updates while your car is in the shop?
The same reviews also complain of cars delivered dirty, damaged or incomplete. Christopher M. posted a December 2025 Google review of Griffith Ford San Marcos: “I asked him if they knew what they were and he said it hadn’t even been through service yet. And then THE CRAZIEST PART OF IT IS THAT THE RIM WAS SHATTERED AND MISSING AN ENTIRE CHUNK!!!! He tried convincing me to drive it again and again and again.” Has the car been through service and inspected before you take delivery?
