    Bought a car from them March of last year. Received a safety recall in September. It was there 5 months until late February of this year. When I got it back they initially tried to charge me $500 because the battery had gone bad since it was sitting idle in the service department for 5 months. It was missing a back panel on the right side and the driver side window was damaged. Mind you I just got this car in March. I brought it to the service attendants attention and I mentioned that there were pictures taken of the car when I first got there so he can use those to verify my claim. The service attendant proceeded to get belligerent with me, started swearing at me and claiming he didn't like my f-ing attitude.

    The damages they created

    Absolutely the worst and most unprofessional dealership experience I have ever had. El Cajon Ford damaged my car while it was in their care, and instead of taking full responsibility, they gaslit me, covered only the bare minimum repair, and left me to deal with thousands of dollars in ongoing issues. My car was towed to the dealership because it wasn't safe to drive. Instead of inspecting it first or even checking what was wrong, they decided to take it on a drive. While they were driving it, the wheel literally flew off. After that, my car has never been the same. They admitted fault but only did the cheapest "basic repair" possible, refusing to cover the full damage. I asked for documentation, diagnostics, or even surveillance footage of the incident, and they refused every single request. They claimed there are "no cameras" and provided nothing in writing. Instead, they constantly gaslit me, acting like I was at fault -- even though they themselves admitted responsibility at the beginning. Since then, I've spent over $4,000 out of pocket just to get my car back into safe driving condition, and it's still not right. The check engine light is back on, the car shakes while driving, and all because this dealership refused to take accountability beyond the absolute bare minimum. This place is dishonest, unprofessional, and unsafe. If you value your car, your money, and your safety, stay far away from El Cajon Ford. They will damage your vehicle, gaslight you about it, refuse to provide documentation, and leave you footing the bill.

    He knows I was talking about Ford of El Cajon right?

    Bobby Bobby Bobby, I understand the person who replied to me is not Bobby. It would not help to reach out to another random person to help. They keep replying to bad reviews to reach out to clear it up, yet they do nothing. Bobby(whoever it is), you need to quit commenting like you're going to take care of anything. It's tiring. I'm not going to contact you. The last time I tried(my review last year or so), you were conveniently in meetings all week. Lol In my last review, I mentioned the confusion about Leon texting me about a fuel injector recall. I basically called him a liar. I apologize from the bottom of my heart. He was right. Leon knows his sh*t Bobby. You guys play too many games there. I hate going there. Look what I got in the mail today. It's dated July, yet I just got it yesterday. Perfect. So I have a lemon car. 2020 car with so many recall issues. Bobby sucks

    Had a good experience here test driving a Ford Maverick and getting info on the truck. The sales person was friendly and gave me the rundown on the truck as I test drove it. If I end up getting a Maverick I'd likely come back here to buy one.

I dropped the car off at 8:30 a.m. and was told by 2:00 p.m. that the issue was diagnosed as a clock spring and repaired. Upon picking up the vehicle, the squeaking noise was immediately present. I returned to the shop, where the technician sprayed WD-40 into the steering wheel area. The noise subsided for approximately one week and then returned. I contacted the shop again and was instructed to bring the vehicle back. During this visit, I also requested an oil change and tire rotation. I was then informed that my vehicle had an oil leak and that the upper control arms needed to be replaced, which they claimed was the cause of the steering noise. After picking up my vehicle a week later, the squeaking noise was still present. I documented this on video and immediately notified the shop via phone and email. Due to it being Christmas week, I brought the vehicle back the following Monday. Before I was able to do so, while backing out of my garage, I heard severe metal-on-metal grinding, as if the vehicle were coming apart. This noise had never occurred prior to this shop working on my vehicle. I immediately contacted them and was told that other components may need replacement and that they were not responsible. Additionally, after their tire rotation, my custom Range Rover valve stem caps were removed and replaced with mismatched, rusty caps (one was missing entirely). The wheel lock key was left loose in the trunk, and the spare tire cover was not reinstalled. Given the severity of the situation, I filed a formal complaint with my warranty company. They ultimately approved a diagnostic inspection at the Range Rover dealership. The findings were extremely concerning. The dealership documented negligent workmanship by Supreme Auto, including: Bolts not properly tightened Missing fasteners Components left loose As a result, the brake dust shield was dangling and a bolt was rubbing against the rotor, damaging the brake pad and sensors and creating a serious safety hazard. The dealership further confirmed that the original steering wheel noise was caused by a foam component on the steering shaft that required lubrication -- not a clock spring, which Supreme Auto billed and was paid for. To restore my vehicle to a safe operating condition, I am now responsible for $2,967 out of pocket. I provided Supreme Auto with dealership videos, documentation, and reports. Despite this evidence, they offered only $463 to "tighten bolts," while claiming they did not perform brake work. While that is true, the issue was not brake service -- it was improper reassembly and failure to secure critical components affecting steering and braking systems. For the record, my brakes were inspected in August, and this vehicle is not driven daily. Thankfully, my warranty company has since removed Supreme Auto from their approved network. I hope this review prevents others from experiencing a similar situation. All I requested was that they take responsibility and pay the dealership directly to correct the unsafe conditions created by their workmanship. They may deny responsibility, but the evidence -- dealership video, written report, and another independent mechanic review -- clearly documents the cause. This is not acceptable or ethical business practice

The check engine light was on so we couldn't smog it. Took it up our mechanic in Santee and they found a problem with the catalytic converter. They said one side was bad and recommended Hanson's to get it fixed. I called Hanson's and was able to get an appointment for the next day. While the car was there they found another problem that was an inexpensive fix. They were able to install the cat and make the other fix the same day. Overall I am very impressed with the work, service, and advice/direction I received from Hanson's.

This shop used to have a solid reputation, which is the only reason I chose it. Unfortunately, that no longer seems to be the case. I arrived when they opened and clearly explained that I did not want to be stuck there all day. I don't live close by, and I needed to pick up my daughter from school later. I specifically told them I was completely fine dropping the car off and coming back once it was finished if the job was going to take a while. They laughed and said that wouldn't be necessary, and that they'd be in trouble if a job like this took that long, implying it would be done quickly. Instead, the work dragged on for most of the day. I was repeatedly told it was "almost done," which kept me waiting there instead of leaving. Had they been honest upfront, I would have left and returned later without any issue. During this time, the employee working on the car moved extremely slowly, frequently stopping to socialize, smoke, eat, and take extended breaks. There was no sense of urgency and no respect for my time. Because of this, I nearly ended up late picking up my daughter from school, which was exactly what I was trying to avoid by offering to drop the car off in the first place. To make matters worse, the final result was disappointing. The piping looks sloppy and unprofessional, like basic budget muffler work, yet the price was unreasonably high for the quality delivered. Ed Hanson's may have been a respectable shop at one point, but based on my experience and many others now a days, that standard is no longer there. Don't waste your hard-earned money or your time.
