    Bent lower left trim
    Jason T.

    I hadn't purchased a car 20 years. So I did a lot of research on Carfax and read reviews on this dealership. I felt I was ready to address the issues if they came up. The best part of my experience was dealing with the new car salesman, Mohammed Al Matoq and the sales manager, Tim Morgan at the Koons Ford dealership even though the car was listed online to be at Koons Mazda. Mo and Tim provided me with great customer service. The downside of my experience is the lack of transparency about the car warranty that was not posted on the window sticker that is required by law. The timeline from when I walked into the dealership to driving out with the car was 8 hours. Needless to say, in 2023 that it takes that long to purchase a car is ABSURD. I was already pre-approved from the financing department the day before to avoid this arduous wait time. There was no transparency regarding the condition of the vehicle. It was not until I purchased the car and I took it to my window tinting technician who showed me that the left side of the car had been recently painted: Lower trim was bent, poor paint job on the two left doors which have scratches on the end--I feel it every time I close the doors, the left rear rim had scratches and the touch up rim paint that was applied eventually came off a few weeks later. There is no way that the dealership did not know about it. Now it will cost me $1,000+ to make these repairs. Lastly is the lack of communication is a huge problem. At the outset of the transaction, they quoted me a higher price for the car because of DC's tags, title, and taxes. I called them 35 days to inquire about my new tags and they said they were running behind. I called them 10 days later as we are coming on the holidays. Then a few days before the 60 day temporary tags expiration date, they tell me I need to get a DC vehicle inspection and that I owe them another $735 because Koons accidentally ran the car with Maryland tag fees instead of DC tag fees. Needless to say I was not paying for their mistake. It was resolved and I received my tags before the expiration date. I will NEVER do business with the Koons brand again. BEWARE! Shop at your own risk!

    This was a terrible experience in the used car department, by their manager. We were treated horribly, after we bought the car of course. We were never given any paperwork regarding the car being certified pre owned, and we were never given warranty information. We came back to try to get it, and were told "it needs to be mailed to you." However, when you look everywhere online it says you need to have all of that paperwork up front. We had to email 5 corporate managers in order to get this resolved. Why weren't we given all of the required paperwork the first time around? When I asked the used car manager he said, "I don't know." I asked to "please get me David" and he said "you can get him yourself. He's over there", pointing to the building next door to Koons Mazda (Koons Ford). We hadn't even driven the car for a month and there is a fuse issue. We were told that it is a "common problem with the CX-5s". There were zero apologies, except from David Song. Here is their response to my review, prior to the used car manager being rude to me as well.

    Cute lil convertible for racing down the parkway!

    Massively lacking communication skills plus high prices = Horrible customer experience…read more Communication from a service writer to customer is almost non existent. They will not come talk to you while you wait IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE EMPLOYEES. Instead, you will receive a text or a form email. Texting and phone calls when you are not waiting on the premises is unprofessional, unclear and vague. Little to no problem solving is demonstrated. I have seen the customer service here slip from ok with expensive prices in 2019 to expensive and frustrating in 2025. Side note: new VW sales are in the same room. Salespeople did not have customers to interact with when I was present. They were loudly socializing with other employees, and one salesperson shouted "What up, my N- slur?!" As a form of greeting to an African American co worker. This appeared to be fine in their friend group, but I did not find that interaction appropriate in a public space in a place of business.

    Koons Ford Silver Spring - Scratched rims

    Purchased a used Mustang (certified) a few months ago…read more Good: Car came with the wrong tires (305mm versus 315mm) which I called to have corrected. The service manager (Scott) went to bat for me during multiple attempts to get the dealership to correct the issue (the vehicle should have the correct tire size if certified).....After about a week and a potential returning of the vehicle, the dealership replaced the tires. He deserves a medal for not only working with me, but truly working for me with the dealership leadership. Bad: Sales person quoted and even printed out the price of the vehicle. When I return 3 days later to purchase, he handed me another purchase agreement that was almost 5K higher. When I showed them the original form, they reluctantly honored it (but clearly he was trying to scam me). I don't care if this was him or the finance team...that was SHADY. Screwed the temp plate on the car crooked and even drilled holes in the plastic wrong. Forgot to give me my registration. Called upon return to home and it took him almost a week to get it to me. Horrible communication and professionalism. Observed another sales agent start ranting about a customer (who I assume) didn't come in to do a deal? He was literally yelling and stomping around in the front of the dealership while me and my family just sat there and watched. No one at the front table ever attempted to calm him down or apologize for the outburst. I understand the frustration, but again...very unprofessional to not ask your employee to calm down and maybe step outside. I think overall the experience was satisfactory. I just believe that sales agents (especially) should be the utmost professionals and carry the water for the company.
