We had an issue with a car we bought and brought it over to them to fix. We ended having a major issue but luckily we always buy the warranty and it was fully covered. They did mess up my fender but completely took responsibility had it immediately repaired and made like new again. Thats the kind of customer service I not only love but also think so many other businesses can learn from. I had another issue with another car and they were my go to. I think the service overall was great. read more

Quick update, they never called to reschedule service. I called a couple of times and got the run around, but decided I could live with the truck as-is. Bottom line, go anywhere else for service. Ford Temecula has been pretty good. Also, do not buy the maintenance package. Nobody knows what it covers. The guys performing the maintenance don't know, the people booking the appointment don't know, it's pure dealer profit. I was told it'd cover air filters, brakes wipers spark plugs etc. Then was told it's basically 10 oil changes at 7500 mi intervals and you get spark plugs at some point. They won't even change the cabin air filter or wipers at each service. So they charged me $3500 for prob $800 worth of service over 75K mi. SCAM read more

Based on my excellent experience purchasing here a few years ago, I bought here again and would give Trevor and N. County Ford 10 stars if I could. Absolutely professional and straightforward. read more

First visit to North County Ford Service department with my new Bronco to install a roof rack that I bought from Ford.com and prepaid for installation. Had an appointment at 10:00a. Waiting, not a single person acknowledged anyone in line. Not even to say, "hi, we'll be with you shortly". Finally my turn, I was told by the service advisor "it's a simple rack install, I can't see it taking longer than 45 minutes". I waited in the lobby for two hours, no communication, no update, not even eye contact. Finally walked around outside and decided to look for my Bronco. There it sat, untouched, no one near it. I went to the service desk again (where my original service advisor flat out ignored me), a different advisor named Yianni acknowledged me and helped. I said my Bronco is untouched and it's been two hours, I was told 45 minutes" He went to check it out and came back and said "I'm sorry, no one has touched it and it looks like it they went to lunch now, the manager is also at lunch" Frustrated, I said "can you just put the rack back in my car, and give me my car back" He apologized and said "I understand, I this should not have happened and I don't know why it did" He brought my Bronco around and while he was closing out my paperwork, my original advisor (I wish I knew his name) walked up and said nothing while Yianni was trying to clean up his mess. He didn't even ask what was up! Yianni at least showed concern and tried to rectify the situation. But I was done. First time here, not a good impression at all. Now I have to go somewhere else and pay for the install again since I already prepaid Ford. Disappointed is an understatement read more

I bought a used Ram 1500 from North County Ford, and my post-sale experience was disappointing. Within a few days several issues showed up: the TPMS stopped working next day, the ParkSense system was failing intermittently, and the differential was leaking oil, even though the truck was supposedly inspected and "in great condition." I also reported a water leak coming from the roof antenna or possibly the rear window. The service dept said they needed approval to fix it, but I never heard back. In the end I had to fix the ParkSense and the differential leak myself. The water leak is still pending. I understand it's a used truck, but that doesn't justify selling it with problems and going silent after the sale. If you're thinking about buying here, think twice. I'm still hoping North County Ford will step up and help resolve the remaining water leak issue. read more

I am a returning customer, and my family has purchased multiple Ford vehicles from this dealership over the years. We've always been satisfied, until now. This review is specifically to address the unprofessional conduct of your employee, Carrie. "Rude" doesn't even begin to capture the attitude she displayed toward my husband and family. We repeatedly attempted to get clear information regarding an issue with our electric vehicle, and each time we were met with dismissal and condescension. Rather than providing answers, she would abruptly redirect us to another employee over the phone and then hang up. After getting nowhere, we made the hour-long drive to speak with her and her manager in person. Shockingly, the in‑person interaction was even more dismissive. At this point, if returning my seventy-thousand-dollar vehicle were an option, I would not hesitate. I will not be returning to this dealership, nor will I be recommending it to anyone. Customer service clearly is not a priority here. read more

Brought my car into the service department for an oil change,tire rotation, and a 99 point inspection on April 16, 2026 after my service was done drove home. when I got home I noticed radiator fluid coming from my car open up the hood just to realize all the radiator fluid had leaked out through a leaking hose. Contacted Ford on april 20th 2026. Make them aware of the situation I found it very suspicious that my vehicle has a radiator leak after an inspection and oil change the tire rotation. Janet, who was helping me advise me that they would tow the car to their location to see what they could do I explained to Janet if there was nothing that could be done then I would like my car towed back. after having my vehicle all day. I called about six times left a voicemail and I got no calls return. I had to go down at 5:30 PM on April 20,2026 to see what was going on with my vehicle just to be told that they're not sure if they're going to cover anything and it's due to the fact that they don't feel like they're liable for this even though they didn't catch this during the inspection. They also made me aware that they didn't know how much the part was gonna cost even though their parts department is right next-door to their service department, which I went over And I found the price for the part, bought the part for them went to go give it to them. I do not recommend this service department they don't catch issues and they don't communicate .if you want a bad experience and poor service and lied about what they do to your car and service then this is the place to go. read more

Showed up to bring our lease back early and run the numbers. We showed up right at 10am and the lady that walked out was unwilling to help us unless we were going to make another ford purchase with the lease return. Hilarious and a complete kook, only willing to do something if we were purchasing a new ford. "Oh no you'll need to make an appointment for that if you aren't making another purchase" For the record Encinitas ford just took 30 mins to give us numbers and told us they would buy our car back and we could walk away, no appointment needed! Avoid North County Ford at all costs! read more

North County Ford - Thumbs down for trash service! - Car Dealers Near Me - Vista, California

0 Stars if possible. I purchased a warranty when I bought my truck, and my most recent service experience was terrible. My truck was in the shop for 6 weeks, and I was told my rental car would be covered by my warranty -- but I ended up having to pay for it out of pocket. Since getting my truck back, I've called and texted my service advisor multiple times trying to resolve the rental reimbursement issue and no one has contacted me back. After 6 weeks of going back and forth with the warranty company and not having my truck, I was put in a Chevy Malibu and still had to pay for it myself. This is unacceptable customer service. I will never purchase another vehicle from North County Ford or return to their service department, and I'll make sure to share my experience with friends and family in Vista.

A special thank you to Alex Sanchez, Service Advisor at North County Ford. Alex, thank you so much for the exceptional service during my recent visits. Each time, you went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly, and your professionalism and kindness truly stood out. I genuinely appreciate the extra effort you put into helping me. People like you make a world of difference. read more

I had a very disappointing experience. The customer service was unorganized and I was left waiting a long time without clear communication about my service. When I arrived, the staff seemed unprofessional and not attentive. I will be returning to the Carlsbad location instead. No start !!! DONT COME HERE!! read more

My daughter was hit and totaled her Bronco Sport. I needed a replacement and went 5 local dealers and dealt with more online. When I went to North County Ford, Oscar Gomez was my salesman and he was fantastic. He worked hard to locate the exact car I was looking for and the negotiation was simple. Great car, great time. Then you gear up for finance, usually more smoke and mirrors but Mike Cottrell made the paperwork so simple. Great guy, great process. Then Oscar walked me through all the features, connected my iPhone to the car and made sure I was handled. Thank you North County Ford! read more

Awesome customer service from Christian went Wednesday and he helped me out with any questions I had and made it easy. Also the location is well kept and he offered me a hot chocolate and was very attentive even when it was busy read more

This is for the service department: These guys are great. Came in with a problem my local ford couldn't figure out. Gave me direct answers and was able to update my cars software, change the battery I was having issues with and get it back to me! Easy to work with no BS. Will gladly take the extra time to drive out there read more

Just the absolute worst dealership. 4 days wasted trying to fix my wife's car after being told we don't have a warranty, then finding out they just flat out didn't check. Finally get them to acknowledge the warranty, get told the repairs will be covered, and have the car towed in. My wife was ecstatic and celebratory and I already knew then it wouldn't be fixed. I'm waiting in the lobby for another tow truck right now because they aren't covering the repairs and I'm not even surprised. This is the worst insult I could give someone. I expected you to fail and you fulfilled my expectations. Jim Goodine seems like a great employee and I'm embarrassed he has to work at such a terrible organization. The owner should be embarrassed. What a pathetic business. read more

I explicitly told worker Janet Tzintzun that I do not consent for them to sell/pass on my information to Carfax or any other third party companies. She understood, seemed confused and even spoke to one of her managers. Came back and said that was fine. Only to find out, they sold/passed on my private information without my consent. Ford will clearly sell/pass on your information whether you consent or not, even if you specifically do not consent. In an age where privacy is apparently so important online, North County Ford clearly does not care who has your information. read more

Everything from the price and add ons all the way to the service. Teebo and Mike are Rockstars and made the entire process easy and painless. Highly recommend them and will definitely be referring them to everyone. Give these guys a raise. read more

Id give you -10 stars if I could. I typically write positive reviews but you have outdone yourself at North County Ford and made me write this review because what you have done to us should not be done to anyone else. I have filed complaints with the Attorney General, BBB and Ford Motor Company for now. Don't worry the news will be next. We received bait and switch letter from Ford Motor company to have diesel particulate filter replaced free of charge. you did not replace it or tell us you didnt instead you urged us to continue to drive our vehicle until it left us stranded in another state. We have been trying to fix our van since you had it at your shop july 24, 2024. To this day it is still in Arizona stranded at its 3rd Ford dealership with all unresolved issues. I want my money back for charging me for not fixing my vehicle. read more

This service dept is the worst I've ever dealt with. Impossible to communicate with. They never answer the phone. I'll go to another dealership from now on. read more

Worst service center I have ever seen in the 50 years I've been driving. No one to help you, no one answers the phone or returns your message. All the service agents ignore you and I had an appointment. The experience was so bad Ford will not be a consideration when I buy my next car. I rate their service a -8. read more

Came in here to rent a car because mine was in a different shop being worked on, and they partner with well-known car rental company that rhymes with "dirts". I waited in line for about 10 minutes before I was even acknowledged, and then was told that because I didn't have a reservation, they wouldn't have any rentals available until the afternoon. What kind of rental shop doesn't have cars to rent? I wouldn't buy any car from this dealer based on the poor customer service experience. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. My 2015 Ford Focus has had well-known transmission issues, and I brought it to North County Ford hoping to finally get things resolved under Ford's extended warranty. Instead, I got the runaround. This is my third visit for the same problem, and each time they find a new excuse to dodge responsibility. Most recently, they quoted me nearly $5,000 for a clutch replacement--even though the clutch had already been replaced by an independent mechanic less than 1,000 miles ago. They claimed parts were bad that were brand new and installed correctly. When I asked for written documentation, I was completely ignored. I've now filed with the BBB and the Bureau of Automotive Repair, and reached out to Ford Corporate. So far, North County Ford hasn't responded to a single one of those efforts. Shady, unresponsive, and absolutely not worth your time or money. read more

I called for a appointment to get my modem in my raptor reset as the ford helpline said was needed, the receptionist said it would be a couple hours 2-5 exactly but it would be done same day. Made the appointment for 7 in the morning, when dropping off the truck my advisor Bianca reinsured me I'd be receiving a call around 12 to confirm everything was under warranty etc. 1 o'clock rolled around no call, I tried calling multiple times no answer anybody at service department. Then received a text from her saying she sees me calling and she's with a customer and she would called me back. Over an hour passes no call or text , I try to call around 230 as the dealer was about a 25 min drive from me so I didn't want to have them close at 4 and miss my truck. Again multiple times called no answer from anyone. So I had to uber all the way there and when I showed up I was expecting the service department to be packed but lone behold only one customer being helped with the three advisers there. After telling them either way if my truck was done I wanted it pulled out now. After what I'm guessing was the service manager looked me up , the truck has been done. Then continued to tell me that it was my fault and I should expect the technological fixes on vehicles to take longer etc blah blah blah. Never brining my truck back here again!!! read more

The service center is terrible and working with Janet made the entire experience even worse. I felt like I was in the twilight zone. Lazy and could care less about customer service. I'd give zero stars if possible. Run from this location. read more

Sales was great. 3rd car I have purchased, but first brand new car. Was told by the sales guy and the finance how our first oil change was free. Low and behold I called service department and the guy made me feel stupid saying it's wrong unless we got it in writing. Well sorry I took these men at their word. Every nice thing I felt toward this location has now been tarnished because of this one interaction. Loyalty doesn't mean anything here. I guess helpful Honda across the street will be my next location to purchase a new vehicle. read more

The lady who answers the phone on the service department is really rude and needs a lot of training. This is for the manager of this department if you are seeing this please give her some training on how to deal with customers. She didn't want to give me her name but I'm sure you know who she is I also asked her to transfer me with you and she said no I'm a customer from this place since 2023 but with this customer service I'm gonna have to go somewhere else. read more

I asked them what trim level a 2015 ford st was that they had. If it was an st1 st2 or st3 , and proceeded to get text after text from different departments asking when I could come in and "we'll transfer you over to our inventory specialist department". Never to get an answere to the sumpl3 question, now I get emails from them every week. I'm not going to make a $15-$20k deal with a company that can't answere a single question about a car their selling read more

Scheduled "the works" and requested for any current recalls to be reviewed for my Maverick. Drop off was 7am and the services was completed same day. Areas to improve: 1. The website services/scheduler needs a lot of work, not user friendly. 2. There's zero communication after you drop you vehicle off on updates or when it's complete. 3. This was my second visit experiencing the same type of customer service communication having to call before closing to see if my vehicle was ready to be picked up (waited 25mins on hold) 4. The oil change sticker was note updated, no big deal but attention to detail and customer communication which is lacked. read more

My car broke down in front of NC Ford and Robert Lansner came to the rescue. He got me gas, put it in my car and would not even let me pay for a thing. Just wanted me to get to the gas station and fill up safely. While I did not not buy anything at NC Ford I will go back for sure. What an amazing experience during a bad time. Seems they have a great work culture if that is the these are the type of people they employee. Thank you Robert!! :) read more

Warning - Do not buy a car from North County Ford! When trying to buy a used car there they pulled a bait and switch! They tried to change their advertised price first, then tried to say they added a tracking system on the car (of course for more money). I had a screenshot of their advertised price, but they wouldnt sell it to me. I wasted a couple of hours there trying to get the deal done, as they told me all sorts of stories about how they were trying to figure it all out. In the end, they sold the car to someone else. Car dealerships are sometimes shady, but this one takes the cake!! Ive bought a dozen cars, and never was treated like this. Dont buy a car from them!! read more

Went here tonight to buy some parts. Their website says they close at 6pm. I was there at 534 and all the lights were turned off. Just for the hell of it, I went to the front door to look at their posted hours. Turns out they have opening hours, but no closing hours. Most businesses post their hours so everyones on the same page. This was most inconvenient since I left work in Oceanside to come here and buy some parts. Just to be fair, I have come here a few times on the weekends and the employees are helpful and professional. Please post the correct hours of operation on your website and on your front door. Your customers will appreciate it. read more

I've had my 2021 Bronco Sport Outer Banks in the service department for over a month now. Paid $1,000 to make the problem worse than when I originally took it in for repairs. It seems to be a software issue that Ford is trying to figure out that is causing a small fan to continuously fun, causing the battery to fail. The biggest issue I am having is their lack of responding to my calls to get updates. Whomever is running the service department needs a lesson in customer service. After purchasing several cars from them they are quickly losing my business. read more

My Ford Focus has been at North County Ford service department for a week and a half. They had to order a part and that took three days. They told me I could come and pick it up before the part was delivered and then bring it back, but I didn't want to have to bring it back. But I called on Monday to see if my car would be ready and they told me my car would be ready that day. But I never got another call. I called again on Tuesday, today, and was told my car would be ready today. But I never got another call. I have had many cars but have never had the kind of poor service that I've had at North County Ford. When I took my Chevrolet in, it was always ready the same day. If it needed a part they would get a part. When I took my Honda in, it was always ready the same day. If it needed a part, they would go get a part. The communication at North County Ford is terrible. If my car is not going to be ready, after being told it would be, they should at least call and tell me it won't be ready. I will never buy another Ford and will pass this information onto all my friends. read more
