Our salesman was Whimps at Hempstead Ford. He was professional, organized, personable and very patient. During our appointment to purchase a new Ford Explorer, he was very informative and clear about this vehicle. We were very happy to deal with him. He reviewed the car with us and clearly explained all the features. Wonderful... The type of car that I chose to drive is a Ford Explorer. Over the past 25 years and when interested in purchasing a vehicle, I have always gone to Hempstead Ford. The service and professional behavior is paramount. If you are interested in buying a Ford, I strongly suggest to give Hempstead Ford a chance.... Thank you Donna Just picked up our new car this week!!! So great...,, read more

I am writing this review because I am very disappointed with the salesperson I had, Thomas M. I've been shopping for an F-150 speaking with a handful of dealerships, it what we all do. Hempstead Ford was one of the few dealerships on Long Island that had the exact car I wanted, so I reached out. Everything was great and cordial until we got to the details. The deal itself was take or leave it which is thought was odd and cold, especially since car salesman do not like when people leave the showroom. I was lied to about my trade-in, which really bothers me because I heard his managers talking about the trade-in as I was sitting in Thomas's Office. It added insult to injury. After leaving Hempstead Ford I went to another dealership, who had a similar car. The deal was much better than what Thomas had offered me. One caveat, that car was reserved, but the person who reserved is dragging their feet. So rather than waiting to see how this pans out, I went back to Thomas with numbers and got a "Sorry, going to pass". I was very surprised to not have received a counteroffer from Thomas, even if it didn't match what was offered from the other dealership. I don't know if the deal was ever presented to management at the dealership either. I am not sure if its Thomas or his manager, but I won't be going to Hempstead Ford again, and I wont recommend them to anyone who mentions them either. read more

Despite my best efforts to resolve these matters directly with the company, and the manufacturer, I find myself in a frustration that requires your immediate intervention. On numerous occasions, I brought my 2018 Ford Explorer VIN# 1FM5K8GT6JGC60115 to Hempstead Ford Lincoln for repairs, as the vehicle/appliance was experiencing on going check engine light/transmission issues from year 2020. I entrusted them with the task of diagnosing and rectifying the problem, and I had expected to receive timely and satisfactory service in return since I have been a loyal repeat customer of theirs. 1) Incomplete Repairs. Despite the assurances the repair performed on my vehicle was incomplete, malfunctioning and still is not complete, making it unreliable and unsafe for my family for use. The vehicle is still in their facility. 2) Lack of Communication. Throughout the ongoing repair process, I have experienced a lack of communication from the service advisor John Lydon. Refusing to provide my service records in full detail. I was never informed about the progress of the repairs or the status of backed up parts. Vague responses from the gentleman who sold me the vehicle and the service manager, service associate was outright ignored. Considering these major issues, I am left with no choice but to escalate this matter to your esteemed office. I believe that the conduct of Hempstead Ford Lincoln not only VIOLATES my CONSUMER RIGHT but also reflects a pattern of unethical business practices that may be affecting other unsuspecting customers and their safety. I kindly request your intervention to help resolve this matter in a fair and just manner. Enclosed with this letter are copies of relevant documents, including incomplete repair orders, and my communication text messages with service advisor and manufacturer. I would like to express my gratitude in advance for your attention to this matter. Your assistance is crucial in helping me seek a just resolution to repair my vehicle and return it to my possession without causing any safety issues for my family and me. Please feel free to contact me at 917-682-8687, spiroaxis@gmail.com if you require any further information or clarification regarding this major ongoing complaint. Thank you for your time considerations. Sincerely, Spiro Zaharis Spiros Zaharis read more

Hempstead Ford is the worst dealership for service or purchase Went there for service on a recall on my car They could not get my car to operate as it did before recall My frustration due to there incompetence was obvious. I bring my car in for repair and it is returned damaged and no resolutions.!! Than I see here on Yelp that they answered my review with some nonsense answer saying "?they have a no tolerance rule" What kind of business is this?? That is what Ii asked myself I go to buy a car there and get a price on a 2020 car . Suddenly as I am about to do the paperwork, the price jumped $60 . Amazing how this dealership operates I would suggest people stay away from this dealership!!!! read more

So, I dropped off my 2021 Bronco Sport for Car Butler service and an oil change Monday evening for service on Tuesday. Tuesday came and I got a call at 1:49 pm that they had just put it on the rack for the oil change and may not be able to get the Butler service done today because it takes 2 hours. Because they don't give loaners for Butler service plus there is a waiting list for one I had to rent a car. I explained this to Jackie and she said she would talk to the Butler guy. Three o'clock came and I call Jackie to find out "Butler guy" promised to have it done by five o'clock. I got to the dealership early and true to their promise I saw my Bronco in the Butler machine. Not only did they get it done, it was done before five. Thank you Jackie and I'm sorry I didn't get his name so "The Car Butlet Guy" for going above and beyond for me. read more

As far as service goes, Karen in service is above and beyond. She is extremely professional and courteous. She takes the time to explain the status of your vehicle with no BS. Which is the best part about her. Our cars will be Lincoln's as long as she is in service. read more

We purchased a 2022 Lincoln Corsair from Hempstead Lincoln Ford and our salesman Dan Locicero was there for us from start to finish, granting everything on our wish list, explaining everything in detail, answering late night emails. Going forward he also said to call or email with any questions or issues in the future. Five stars plus for Dan the Man! Patti and Mike, Queens, NY read more

This review is specifically regarding the service department. I recently purchased a brand new 2020 Lincoln aviator black label. The car was in the shop for almost two weeks with little to no communication from the service department. After complaining about the week plus delay and lack of communication I finally get my car back. It was given the butler treatment and was handed over dirty and unwashed. They couldn't even put it through a car wash. Thanks for the Black Label Service. read more

This is my 2nd lease with Hempstead Ford Lincoln and I can't say enough. They're concierge service is amazing, they pick you up or give you a loaner car while yours is getting maintenance service. They are friendly and courteous. I am very happy with them! Thank you everyone for providing such a friendly atmosphere, especially when we have been so stressed with Covid19. We will definitely lease again! read more

I recently purchased a 2022 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring at Hempstead Ford Lincoln. My experience purchasing a Lincoln at Hempstead Ford Lincoln could not have been better had it not been for one salesman - Dan Locicero. Dan is an exemplary, professional, and perhaps one of the most knowledgeable salesmen at Lincoln. Dan Locicero took the extra step at EVERY turn imaginable and I left the lot ecstatic with my purchase. In fact, days before the purchase, Dan took the initiative, himself, to help get all the paperwork in order by working with my insurance broker while I was away on vacation so that the day of purchase would go smoothly. And it did. Moreover, Dan spent countless amounts of time going over the features in the vehicle and the LincolnWay application on my phone so that I could seamlessly enjoy my Lincoln Corsair. Dan has far exceeded my expectations that I have encouraged my brother, who trusts me for guidance, to visit Dan Locicero, specifically, at Hempstead Ford to look to purchase a Ford F-150. Because I want my brother to be confident that he is in capable hands when purchasing his next vehicle. I thank everyone at Hempstead Lincoln Ford for both this great experience and purchase. read more

So I had to come here and fix the horn on my car. The service advisor Adrian Tang was really nice as to my needs. He followed up with me as to the status of the part and expectation for pick up. Once I came to pick up the car he had my car running through the car wash. He even helped me put my registration on my car. What could I say the guy has class! He made very comfortable and welcomed at the dealership. Thank you to Hempstead Ford Lincoln and especially Adrian. read more

WOW! Finally a dealership on Long Island worth going to! I have been all over the island looking for a car this past year, and have been to 3 or 4 different Ford dealers all with a pretty poor experience. I was expecting the same as I came in here but was pleasantly surprised!!!!! I met with Joel who works in the used car department in regards to a 2015 Ford Fusion Energi. I called beforehand and they confirmed that they had the car and that it didn't have a deposit on it - something that seems so trivial but after visiting a few other dealers and them saying this and then showing up to the car already being sold this was a good start. The car was beautiful - everything I wanted and it was in excellent shape. Joel let my husband and I look without commentary and allowed us the time we needed to really take a good look at the car. The price was fair and we really liked it so we put a down payment on it. In the next day or so, I noticed that the car had dropped around $500 in price on the website, from my previous experience, I was expecting this to cause some sort of issue. Thankfully, it didn't! They honored the price and changed everything on my paperwork, when I said I was coming on my lunch break to fill everything out, all the paperwork was ready to go! I highly recommend Joel if you want a no BS experience with buying a car. It was so easy and I am so happy with my purchase!!!!! read more

A month later the horror story continues. The shifter gets stuck in park half the time and the engine continues to make the rattling sound . I decided to buy a $15k van instead of one for 3-5k just to avoid these kind of problems. Total opposite. I'm a new business owner and this van continues to be unreliable. They can't look at my vichele until the 29th how am I suppose to run a business for weeks without a vichele Going on 3 weeks haven't gotten my vichele back yet. read more

Only reason I didn't give 5 stars to this dealership is because I didn't have a full experience with them as I didn't finalize a transaction so I can't speak on the whole process. That being said, from walking in to leaving.. this was HANDS DOWN the best dealership (I'd go so far as to say the only nice dealership) I've ever been to. I've been a loyal Honda owner and while I love the product, the service is frustrating at all of them. Hyundai had the worst salesmen I've ever dealt with. I have thought this is just how dealerships are, until today. Our salesman at Ford Hempstead was Frank. He was the most real, genuine, honest, salesman I've ever dealt with. He told you what you wanted to know and cut out the bullshit. Didn't waste an ounce of my time when it came to telling me the facts, getting me the keys to test drive, giving me prices!!! I sat for an hour at another dealership with the back and forth "let me check with my manager" about every last detail. Not here. He was knowledgeable, sincere, compassionate and understanding of my terms, he was apologetic for the way the business has to be run in the middle of a pandemic and fear of riots at the moment... I can go on and on. Even during the few minutes while Frank brought around the car, the owner (or manager? Not sure) made sure we were being helped to our satisfaction and made regular conversation asking how we are doing during everything, we weren't just business to him. I realize I'm writing a novel but I typically am frustrated and can't wait to leave a dealership but I was actually emotional from feeling so relieved and at ease after feeling anxious going into a dealership expecting the usual rigamorale. While I don't know if I want a Ford after all LOL if I do, or if you do... go here. read more

My husband car was in the repair shop for 3 months! Karen was the woman managing the repairs. Karen is a total waste of a person to be paid to work there. She is completely useless and never does her job. She doesn't provide and follow up unless you reach out to her! She also doesn't complete the requests you ask for to be done on your car. Don't ever bring your car here for service! they are the worst and should not service any cars!!!!!!! read more

We leased a car through Hempstead Ford Lincoln. We were lied to that the car can be serviced at any authorized service center. I attempted to take the car to two NYC Ford dealers and both refused to service the car. A car with under 5,000 miles has every single electronic in it going haywire speaks very well for the quality if Ford cars. They will tell you any lie to make a sale. Sad. read more

Don't ever do a service in Hempstead Ford Lincoln - Hempstead, NY Avoid at all costs!! Service Director - Robert Spalletta(Total scumbag) Service Advisor - Karen Wunderlich(She is a kind person but have to get approval from that scumbag Robert Spalletta) Customer No. - 169341 Customer Name - Vehicle Model - 2013 Ford F-150 Raptor SVT VIN - Warranty - Ford ESP Premium Care R.O. Date - 6/16/17 Invoice Date - 6/23/17 and then took in back on 6/23 and got it on 7/13 Invoice No. - LICS943611 Invoice Amount - $358.41(Including $100 deductible for Premium Care) Got the truck back from Hempstead Ford service, I took the car in for 3 issues Issue 1: The front end makes a lot of noise when going over potholes, drifts to one side when going over some small bumps on the highway over 60 m/hr. - Those service guys could not even diagnose it and they changed some bushings, links and messed up my wheel alignment which I did with another Ford Dealer about 2 weeks before giving it to Hempstead Ford. They refuse to fix it or even look at it saying it's fixed and that Robert Spalletta asked me to get out of the service center as they don't work on my truck anymore. They refused to fix my wheel alignment or take a drive with me so that I can show it's not fixed. Issue 2: Squeak from the rear when taking off from a stop at low speeds.- Hempstead Ford made me change rotors and brake pads saying that its coming from the brake pads/rotors. It was from the rear suspension springs and they finally fixed it with a lot of trail and error. Issue 3: Annoying noise coming from the brake pedal like that of spring getting pulled under tension & released. This has nothing to do with brake pads or rotors. As it is the sound from the pedal - Hempstead Ford made me change rotors and brake pads. Issue 1 & 3 is not fixed. They made me change rotors and brake pads unnecessarily. I have an inspection receipt from another Ford dealer 2 weeks prior to taking the car to Hempstead dealer that they are no issues with my rotors or brakes. read more

Had my heart set on a Lincoln, went here and enjoyed my time with the salesman. He told me about something they have where they will give me a car for at least 24 hours. 72 hours later someone finally called me back to make arrangements for me to get a car She told me that the first available date is over one month away. I wrote them a letter complaining about my experience and never heard back. In short I was just very disappointed in the dealership. If I learned anything when buying a car it is, if you're not happy with The dealership when you are buying the car, you're going to be very miserable once you need that dealerships help with the car you purchased from them. read more

Changed my mind on the purchasing of a vehicle from Dimitri Stavrakopoulos and called and asked for deposit back. After he said he would process it he hung up on me mid sentence when explaining I will purchase from Hempstead Lincoln when my 2023's come in, guess what when I do I doubt I'll go back to Hempstead but if I do I'll stay clear of Dimitri. read more

Brought my truck in for a recall. Also had a loose alternator belt. Didn't have a battery problem and pricing was high so I wanted to get a second option. Next day battery was dead. Had AAA charge me. Drove for a while. Got back in car and battery dead again. Had to have AAA replace battery on spot when there wasn't a problem before I brought car in. Poor service. read more

Worst service department I have ever dealt with. I have been bringing my 2012 Escape down with transmission problems over the past 2 years. After countless visits, Ford finally decided to replace my transmission during the first year and after the car was held for months I finally got it back with a new transmission. All the problems have continued even after the replacement. I brought the car back and they have been sitting on it since the end of MAY!! Every time I call my rep Juan he feeds me all kinds of excuses including " We only have one certified transmission service technician that works here", "We are backed up" and he even told me "The technicians don't know what wrong with your car" Come on FORD, get on this!! Get better Technicians!! Make Better Cars and Trucks!! Have a service department your customers can depend one!! read more

I have had 2 interaction with the service department, and was disappointed both times. First time they had very little knowledge of the parts involved in a repair to the extend of calling me back 2 weeks after the work was done to tell me the part they said was not available, WAS. Second time when gathering information for a repair, they contradicted the Lincoln owners manual and also Lincoln's customers service. Having been to many Lincoln dealerships up and down the east coast this is the worst dealership I have ever been to. To me it seems being a Lincoln dealer is an afterthought for them. read more

I started my shopping experience with no idea what vehicle I wanted. I probably looked at 25 different cars and just as many dealerships. As I gradually whittled my list down to the Lincoln I visited 4 different dealers. I was searching for a specific list of equipment and colors and, of course, the best price. When I walked into Hempstead Lincoln, I was assigned to Even Boucaud as my salesman. He was very patient with me as I ask a million questions and wanted to drive the MKC and MKZ and wanted to try all the engine choices. At the end of the process I probably spent 2-3 hours at Hempstead Lincoln just doing test drives. Evan was happy to spend the time with me. When it came down to price, they were very competitive and worked with me through some of my issues. Once I finally signed, we submitted the credit to the bank and initially, they did not want to approve me. My credit is good but very new. Bob, the finance manager really went above and beyond to get the bank to accept me. I picked up my car yesterday and couldn't be happier with the car and the entire process with Evan and Hempstead Lincoln. read more

Car buying is the ultimate pain in the butt, until you come to Hempstead Lincoln. Dimitri Stavrakopoulos was the best! He was efficient, thorough and an all around great salesman.

I just purchased a 2018 Ford Focus at Hempstead Ford Lincoln. I met with John Berto and I can tell you he was very nice, pleasant and informative. I greatly appreciate that I did not receive any kind of "hard sell" or over the top push to buy a car. Everything was calm, helpful and to the point. No bluster is a big thing with me and I appreciate that I was able to come in, talk to John and he set me up with the right car for me with no jumping through hoops. I know I made the right decision. I wasn't put on the spot. I was assisted in a kind and respectful manner. To me, this is how you purchase a car. This is how you run a dealership. Well done, Hempstead Ford Lincoln and thank you very much to John Berto. I would absolutely direct you to Hempstead Ford Lincoln if you are in the market for a new car. Good people over there. I am in a Ford family and I am confident we will be doing business with them in the future. Cheers. read more

Since the check engine light went off when I drove it to you Oliver and I decided I did not have to leave it as there was no code to read. He suggested that it might be a bad tank of gasoline that caused it. I should fill it up and see what happens. I was told that if the light did come back on to call Oliver and I will be seen the next day. It was then that I decided to not leave the car. I have not had many problems with the vehicle what upsets me is the service department. Four times to fix a key fob leaving it all day fir and oil change and the car not touched a tire pressure monitor that when bad the day after I purchased a new tire from you and now this where I was originally given an appointment for four days after i called. I'm not going to mention the sales department where I was never told about my first free oil change or the free inspection. My family owns three othe Ford vehicles all purchased from you. We are all disappointed with your service department . Yeah check engine light fixed. Boo repair lasted one week same problem car sputters hard to get car to go past 40mph. Another trip to have them look at it DO THESE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING Brought my car in for the check engine light on again. Ask to have the remaining coils fixed told its against policy. I said I was tried of coming back he yelled and said go somewhere else DO NOT REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE FOR ANYTHING AT ANY TIME read more

I was at Hempstead Lincoln early November to purchase a vehicle. Mr. Dimitri Stavrakopoulos told us that there was no inventory at the moment but we were asked to give a deposit and he would order the car for us. It's March 23 and this man never had the decency to call us to tells us what was going on. I called on 3/22/22 and asked to speak to a manager and the woman I spoke to did not provide her name and did not even apologize for making us wait practically 4 months without even a phone call. These people know nothing about professionalism or customer respect. This was my first and last time I tried to do business with this dealership. read more

The process of buying my 2018 Ford Explorer was OK. The worst part of my experience was sitting in the car trying to figure out how to use the navigation and all that other fun stuff with the sales rep. While we were sitting in the car, the engine started smoking. As my pregnant wife and two year old daughter jumped out of the car in fear i knew this was bad. Keep in mind the car has 5 MILES ON IT! The car was overheating and coolant fluid was completely drained from the car. This is unheard of! I'm not looking for a hand out or any freebies. I didn't want to imagine this happening to me or anyone else while their out on the road with their families . No one at the dealer wanted to take responsibility for this discrepancy on their part and said it was not their fault. I'm leaving this review for other people to know the dangers of this dealership. This was a brand new car that shouldn't have happened especially when my whole family was in the car. This is the last time I'll buy a car from this dealership or any Ford deanship. If I could post any photos to prove to you how bad it was i would. read more
