BUYER beware!!! This review is based entirely on my documented experience. I trusted Phil Waterford's Manteca Ford with my Ford Transit, a commercial vehicle my business depends on. That decision led to over a year of breakdowns, unsafe situations, and thousands of dollars in losses. The original issue was engine overheating only while towing. Instead of identifying and fixing the root cause, the dealership replaced a transmission 2x's and two engines while repeatedly assuring me the problem was resolved. After the first engine replacement, I picked up the van and noticed it had only 8 miles to empty on the fuel gauge after they had test driven it. The vehicle was returned to me without being fueled, which I found completely irresponsible. I barely made it to a gas station before running out of fuel, which is not how any customer should receive a vehicle after a major repair. Within minutes of leaving the dealership, the van shut down on the freeway. Rather than towing it, I was instructed to drive it back in limp mode. I was later charged for additional repairs that followed immediately after their engine install. The vehicle continued to experience severe power loss, overheating, and major fluid leaks. Eventually, after two engines and two transmissions, the dealership replaced the radiator -- and for the first time, the towing-related overheating stopped. This confirmed the cooling system was the issue all along. Later, the vehicle broke down out of state and was taken to another Ford dealership. That dealership documented installation-related issues and also identified exhaust/EGR components that were old, soot-covered, and reinstalled during both engine replacements at Manteca Ford, rather than being replaced. These are parts that reasonably should have been replaced during an engine replacement, especially after two separate installs. Manteca Ford has refused to reimburse me for these repair costs and other related expenses and has stopped responding to emails and messages entirely. I now have an active case open with Ford Motor Company / Ford Pro and am providing full documentation for corporate review. If you are a business owner or rely on your vehicle for towing or work, I strongly recommend servicing your vehicle elsewhere.

This place was a mistake from day one. The final straw is the fact they sold me a used car without a seat belt, which is AGAINST the LAW in California and they REFUSE to order and install said seatbelt. Mind you, this was a used car purchase for a teenager. Especially considering I have messaged them about this multiple times, and they've officially ghosted me. In fact they (ERIC) sent me a link to a general parts store to not only find the seatbelt myself, but apparently to buy and install it myself as well. The finance guy is a whole different issue. He was staring at his watch complaining the paperwork was taking too long. Completely rude and disrespectful. We drove over two hours after work, to which they agreed to meet with us late, then the finance guy treated like we were the biggest inconvenience. What a joke. Lastly, the engine light is already on less than two months after purchasing. Do NOT purchase from this place. I decided against buying a used vehicle off marketplace because I wanted to purchase from a trusted dealership. This was NOT IT.

Johnny, Bill helped us get the right Mustang with premium options. The transaction was pretty quick and smooth and Jeff helped with all the signing. They have these great cars in the showroom as well!

Our experience at Phil Waterford Manteca Ford was nothing short of excellent. Brandyn Waterford provided exceptional customer service and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Phil Jr. Waterford, the General Manager, was incredibly supportive and made sure we were well taken care of every step of the way. We also had an amazing experience with Bob, who finished up our transaction with ease and professionalism. The level of care, respect, and dedication we received truly stood out. If you're looking for a dealership that treats you right, this is the place to go! -Kat

It's always awesome working with Bill!  When you need a new car, ask for Bill!

See all

I have been looking to buy a new car for about 6 months and finally narrowed it down to a Kia Sportage Hybrid SX-Prestige. I pushed the button through True Car to get some quotes and Justin's email came at the right time & the right price with a kind demeanor. He even helped me with my purchasing options on a Sunday! An hour and a half drive later and I am so glad I went out to Manteca to purchase my new vehicle (her name is Tika in honor of her home dealership). What I loved: 1) Communication: I suffer from analysis paralysis and I got this deal done the same day we started emailing. That was the fastest I have made a decision in a while! 2) Process: From test drive to purchase, fastest car deal I have ever been witness to or a part of- thank you! 3) Customer Service: even though the deal was completed after closing and even though I asked a lot of questions, Justin D took the time to answer them and show me every single feature of my new car. It was impressive. He even hand washed my car because the car wash was closed. That really wasn't necessary because it was cold outside but is a testament to how awesome he is. 4) Follow-up: checking in on me through surveys and phone calls/ text messages is really nice. I have great after purchase support. 5) Coffee machine- mocha latte was pretty yummy! Thank you to Kia Country for helping me make a purchase that I can rely on for years to come. I am very appreciative of the customer service you provided and my awesome new car.

The staff was friendly, professional, and took the time to answer all of my questions without making me feel pressured. They worked hard to help me find financing that fit my situation and made sure I understood everything before signing. Since purchasing the car, I've had a couple of issues come up, which can happen with any used vehicle. What really stood out to me was how the dealership handled it. They had no problem addressing the concerns and getting the repairs taken care of promptly. They were responsive, helpful, and stood behind the vehicle after the sale, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. As a first-time car buyer, I really appreciated the patience and communication throughout the process. I'm extremely happy with my vehicle and grateful for all of the help I received. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and a team that genuinely cares about their customers. Thank you for making this such a positive experience!

I drove the Tesla model y because it's an model y I like it but there was so much problem I have to fix about it the rims of the tires it look beat up I have to replace that and the default of the Tesla I would have to fix the gaps. So we were going to sit down and negotiate but the associate said there's no negotiation here mind you the car had 165,000 miles on it and then it was 16,999 comes out with Taxes it would be 20 k out the door. He wanted to say oh well I sell these cars like people come in and out like flies. I thought that was funny. So we decided to leave and found something better. So if you want a car from here read the reviews first before purchasing. So you don't get scam from the car website also junior if your so desperate you should have gave me the car for a far price but you didn't so I got my car from somewhere else with a better deal and newer then yours. Next time you should work on letting the person talk then trying to be smart and thinking people will buy fyi my mother in law knows the buying car market is down so you won't be able to sell a car now.!
