Before buying, find out who books, repairs and stocks parts for your Ford
Every Ford needs maintenance, and sooner or later it needs a repair. The service department is where you will spend time as an owner, so judge it before you sign anything.
Find out how appointments are booked, who works on the car, and whether the parts for your model are on hand. A department that answers all three plainly is one you can plan around.
We offer shuttle service and loaners if you need one, and we have a parts center.
Work out your trade value and pre-approval first, then judge each car’s deal
A price on one car means little until you know what your trade is worth and what financing you qualify for. Settle both first, and the numbers on any specific car read as one whole deal. Without them, a low payment or a high trade offer can hide what the rest of the deal costs.
Have your trade-in details ready, along with your driver’s license and the loan information a lender asks for.
We ship cars out of state and deliver to the buyer’s driveway.

Ford dealer complaints worth a question before you commit
One- and two-star Google reviews of Ford dealers describe repairs that were not fixed right the first time. A May 2025 Google review of Leif Johnson Ford of Manor from Chardae S. reads: “The fact that they installed the part and then told me it was wrong only after it failed is unacceptable. I feel taken advantage of, and frankly, dismissed a woman of color. To make matters worse, they’ve taken no accountability and offered no solution.” If a repair fails after the work is done, what will you do about it?
Other reviews raise pressure and misleading sales tactics. Jamie G. posted a November 2025 Google review of Sames Bastrop Ford, Inc.: “Called to confirm that a used vehicle was in stock. Was told it was on the lot. Drove almost two hours to look at the truck and was told it had been sold at least two days prior and was ‘long gone’.” Can you confirm that this exact vehicle is on the lot right now?
No updates or call-backs is a complaint in these reviews too. Dated June 2026, Dave B.’s Google review of Griffith Ford San Marcos reports: “Wouldn’t tell me the pricing on warranties so I had to call finance myself. Then they advised me he was already cutting a deal on the truck even though he was telling me to come in and see the truck. Then proceeded to ghost me and stop responding.” Who will update me on pricing and the deal, and how will I hear from that person?
