Sonora Ford - Ford F-150 Raptor - Car Dealers Near Me - Sonora, California

I'm close to 60 and I have bought my fair share of vehicles over the years, but never have I had such a pleasant and enjoyable vehicle buying experience as I had recently with Sonora Ford. Bill, the salesman I dealt with, was professional, knowledgeable, transparent, honest, and responsive. I wasn't pressured in the least bit and they truly went above and beyond what I expected. I have already referred a friend and local business owner to the dealership. Thank you Sonora Ford, you have truly earned my loyalty. read more

My salesperson, Bill, was very professional and transparent about everything throughout the entire process of ordering and delivering my new vehicle. The entire staff is courteous and treated me very well. Highly recommended. read more

It needs to be advertised or mentioned when dropping off a car that your vehicle will NOT BE LOOKED AT until they deem that they have time. Your appt is not with the mechanic to look at your vehicle, but with the advisor that you're scheduled with. Even then your vehicle may not get worked on just diagnosed and if they have time and the parts they will fix it. Don't get me wrong I get mechanics are busy and their time is precious and valuable but I refuse to accept that my vehicle will be looked at just before I have to pick it up. It needs to be looked at in a timely manner, not when people feel like it. read more

I called ahead about transmission issues on my 2017 Ford Escape and brought it to Sonora Ford the next day. I was told a test drive was done, all fluids were checked, no codes came up, and there was "nothing wrong." On my way home, the car deteriorated badly. A second opinion the same day told me not to drive it and that it needs a new transmission. To add to the frustration, my Sonora Ford oil-change sticker still showed it was overdue--despite being told fluids were checked--which makes me doubt how thorough the inspection was. Without a reliable commuter, I had to purchase another vehicle elsewhere, and my Escape sits broken down. Disappointing experience with my local dealer when I needed help most. read more

I have had multiple vehicles in for service over the past 10 years. I chose to deal with Heath he has his stuff together. In particular he has dealt perfectly with my sometimes bad attitude and always had an outcome that work well for me. The man calls me back with in minutes with answers every time. I see some negative responses and I've heard these people in the office while I'm in dropping off or picking up. The days of common sense and realistic expectations are gone, no people they will not fix your truck under warranty after you deleted it and tuned it. Get real. read more

This dealership is a joke!! They had a recall on my mustangs rear camera. They replaced the camera but broke the panel and said they wouldn't fix it. Told me I couldn't prove they broke the part. Don't do business here, you will regret it read more

Zero should be a choice. Gave them a second chance after purchasing a Focus in 2016. I was promised a better experience but it is turning out the same with the Escape I just purchased 5 weeks ago. Of course when I take the car in, the salesman and general manager that made that promise are no where to be found. AWD went out one week after buying the car and have had to replace 2 worn rear tires one month after purchase. Customer service sucks and the service manager is nothing but a big bully! read more

They are a rip off. That's pretty much it. Don't even think about buying a used car from them. They give you paper work saying certain things were done to it but it's all BS. Best advise is to stay away. read more

Fraudulent advertising. Advertised F250 XLT Diesel Fx4 For 66,999 nothing even close on the lot. False advertising...guy said they put different pictures on website. Waste of my time. read more

My Mom purchased her car from your lot 2014 she has always brought her Focus in for regular maintenance. This last visit she was told her lug nut caps were getting swollen and needed to be replace you quoted 300 dollars! My brother ordered real steel lug nuts for 40 dollars and Wright Tires installed them for 10 dollars... If you are aware of this issue why is Ford putting those cheep parts on the cars... then raping the customer that is WRONG! My Mom will not be coming to your Service department anymore Wright Tire referred us to auto repair company who doesn't price gouge. read more

We ordered a part at the parts desk and when we got it home, we found that they ordered the wrong part for us. The parts representative, Davin, insisted that we had to pay a $40 restocking fee to return the part. Two messages were left with the manager Kelly, and he never returned our calls. These people are unethical; recommend that you go to Oakdale Ford instead. read more

I got spark plugs redone, rear brakes, and a new left hand valve cover plus seals and oil change. They worked on my car for at most 10 hrs but cant verify based on the work order. Labor was $4,000. If i had time to shop this i would have but I'm in a tight spot. At those labor cost i'll never return and never recommend anyone to go here. Rick Bacon all day long. read more

I just want to say I had my Ford f150 serviced at Sonora Ford and could not be any happier. Talk about going out of the way for service, that is what they do. I honestly recommend Sonora Ford for buying and all your service needs. The people at Sonora Ford could not have been any friendlier to deal with. A++ all the way. read more

Sonora Ford - Car Dealers Near Me - Sonora, California

Lazy techs, had my truck for two days and couldn't figure out what was wrong with it after I told them a spark plug was bad, showed them a video of the issue and pictures of the P-Codes that I pulled with my code reader. They tried to return my vehicle after the first day and told me nothing was wrong. After leaving and getting on the freeway it misfired. Took it right back to them. The lead tech came out with a huge attitude like I was inconveniencing him. The next day they replaced the plug. I kissed one day of work and had to rent a truck because of their laziness. On a positive note, the manager only charged me the diagnostic fee and waived the labor for changing the plug due to the mistake. read more

Thank you Sonora Ford And Subaru for a great experience purchasing my Outback. I drove from Modesto to meet with Jacob Schader to discuss my purchase. He was prepared with answers to my questions. Jacob's professional demeanor and courtesy sold me on Sonora Ford. When I arrived to pick up my car I was met by Matthew Dunlap and the Excellent customer service continued through out the transactions. Thank you both for making the painful car buying process so pleasant. read more

Not the greatest experience with the service mgr. thus the 3 star rating. But they got the job done.

Sonora Ford has the BEST customer service of any dealership I have ever been too! Everyone is friendly, accomodating and professional. Thank you Sonora Ford!! read more

You know how when you go car shopping you get your ass kissed and then lied to about everything? And then you finally navigate through all the BS and come to a deal that will work for you but it doesn't matter because the financial guy changes everything without telling you so you have to start over? You know how they try to sell you things you don't want and/or already have? You know how they have no respect or integrity when it comes to customer relationships? You know how the sales team, management and service department all dislike and work against each other but screwing over the client is something they can all rally around? If you enjoy being treated like this, shop here. read more

I wish there was a lower score but there isn't so a 1 star they get. This has to be the WORST place to take your car. We were warned by our mechanic not to go to Sonora Ford go to Oakdale Ford. They had our car for almost 3 days to try to find out why our car locks were locking and unlocking. The first day they said they could not find a thing. The next 2 days was just JACKING ME AROUND. I had to call every 2 hours to find out if I can pick up my car. Here are the excuses I would get, 1) we don't have the part yet. 2) I don't know when it will be done. 3) we haven't taken it in yet. I then asked for the Service Manager Chuck what a joke he is. It's 3:30 now it will be done today. That's all he had to say. He was talking over me. IT WILL BE DONE TODAY. WHAT TIME CAN I PICK IT UP. It will be done today. A friend picked me up we went to check out my car. The technician that was working on my car said my car is done. He also said he just got the paperwork for my car at 4:10pm today. And had the car done in 10 minutes. The more people I talk too the more I find out how many HATE SONORA FORD. PLEASE PLEASE DONT GO TO THIS HORRIBLE PLACE. FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO COST $175.00 I walked away with $750.00. read more

This place treats loyal ford owners like they should of purchased a GMC. Can't even afford to get your vehicle checked up on at the location. Wouldn't touch my wife's battery due to corrosion UNTIL she paid to have them remove it for over 60 bucks. Just sell her a new battery and terminals? Another charge to assess squeaky belts? Just replace them!!!??? Nicole and dime the p!ss out of you. I wonder how you would have handled it if I the husband was facing you. You guys run a horrible dealership. We have family friends who own a Ford Dealership in the Bay Area and I know from personal knowledge this isn't the place to go. Please Avoid.... read more

Took my F250 4x4 to Sonora Ford. Had $6500.00 of repairs completed. Ranging from power steering pump, hoses, clamps. Both exhaust manifolds replaced. Replaced heater assembly w/all hoses. Replaced left front lock hub assembly. Serviced fuel injection assembly. And completed various wire repairs. On my trip home the ABS light came on. Return same day. They solved the issue at no charge, since they had broken the ABS Sensor. One month later, my open door light stays on and power locks stopped working. Took truck back for a diagnostic inspection. The next day, they phoned for me to pickup the truck. Charged $175.00 and stated,"they could not find the cause of the problem." Stated," I should have them Re-wire the truck." WHAT A JOKE. I took my truck and left. I will NEVER return to Sonora Ford. After spending over $6500.00 and being treated this way I will take this truck and all my vehicles plus my family and friends vehicles else where. Sonora Ford is a COMPLETE RIP OFF. Beware of ever going there. I was warned of their shotty business practices by my neighbor. And should have listened. Sonora folks BEWARE OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT SONORA FORD. read more

Sonora Ford - Car Dealers Near Me - Sonora, California

This is a mafia like dealership filled with the good guy here and there but sales is just full of guys who will look you in the eye and hold your truck unless you pay 70,000 over msrp in cash the guy closest to the door is the biggest scum bag I've ever encountered and just the da t they let him keep his job after he attempted to rip me off I just reported the whole dealership and individual to ford I recommend anyone else who's had issues with prices here to add to the apparently rather large number of complaints so sez the ford corp guy I spoke to Abd he actually verified . The dealers name once I provided his id number Ford Sonora will not get approval for Ford's next step and will be closed in 3-5 years max so get used to going somewhere else read more

Worse than 1 star. Absolutely terrible customer service. Not transparent with costs. Charged $875 to diagnose a problem that they ultimately could not even cite the source of the actual problem. Every time we had communication with the service technicians we got a different story. Literally could not be more disappointed or frustrated with a business. Will never do ANY business with this company again. read more

Never heard from Kelly or anyone else at this dealership. He most certainly realized his staff performed the unethical business practice of canceling a deal to get more money from someone else. Stay away from this batch of crooks. Even Kelly R. "Business Manager" has nothing to say! NEED PROOF, sure - see attached images (receipt and email exchange - truck is yours!). How would you like it if you made a deal, sold your work vehicle knowing the one you purchased was due within a few weeks only to get a call later stating, "oops, my GM sold the vehicle before he left on vacation several weeks ago and forgot to tell everyone/anyone!" read more

Pleasant experience, just browsing and looking at options, salesman was a pleasure to work with.

I have never seen any business ever be so inept, useless and unresponsive. Not only have they had our truck for over a month, with every excuse in the world as to why, but the don't even bother to return calls or communicate in any way. We are in the market for a new vehicle and it will certainly not be a Ford. The service manager, Chick, should be fired. He has demonstrated that he is inept in his job and holds no one on his team accountable. Holding a work truck hostage for over a month with no communication is abhorrent. We are contacting Ford headquarters to report this dealership as they seem to be doing this to many others. AVOID THIS DEALERSHIP AT ALL COSTS read more

Took my new Truck in for a mandatory recall. while doing the work, they scratched the front bumper and had to fix it. Thus began the nightmare: I have had at least five appointments over several months to do this simple task, and still not completed. Three times my wife and I have driven two cars there from an hour away since they told us it would be all day and we were told after several hours they couldn't do it after making an appointment and confirming it would be done. Another time they called the day before and cancelled. My experience with their service department has been more than a little frustrating. TERRIBLE is an understatement read more

Yesterday we bought a new car from this dealership. A 2024 Ford Escape. We had an amazing experience. From Our phone call to get the ball rolling with Bill to working With salesman Ed to find the car that'd right for us. Especially was incredible salesman working with us to get a deal made. Also shoutout to the Fimamce Manager. That man pulled out all the stops to make sure we got the lowest monthly payments possible while still getting us all the warranty and all the other add ons nessicary for a good a couple years. Amazing Job Sonora Ford thank you for helping us seal the deal on a 2024 Ford escape. Highly recommend at least the sales portion. ​ read more

Purchasing a car can be so stressful from finding the right vehicle that checks all the boxes to getting set up with the right auto salesman. Sonora Ford from start to finish made the car buying process enjoyable and painless. Gary Powell at Sonora Ford completely stands apart from the rest. From the moment I met Gary I knew he was my salesman. He truly cared about me and my needs. He never once tried to push me to make a purchase I wasn't ready for. He was patient and determined to find me the right vehicle at the right price. Gary is the total package and a total asset to Sonora Ford. Thank you to everyone there who helped me along the way. Great people, great cars, great business. read more

Went in yesterday traded my 2015 Crosstrek for a 2020 Crosstrek. Joe Carne took care of us. He did a nice job trying to get lowest interest and payments to meet our needs. He was patient with me as I tried to decide to give up my old Suuby that I love dearly for a brand new one. He was helpful, answering a ton of questions for me. I left happy and pleased with my purchase. I never felt pushed or mislead. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Sonora Ford and Subaru. Thanks Joe, lovin' my new Suubydo! read more

We brought our Ford Fusion in for an airbag recall. The air condition was working perfectly prior to their service. We noticed the AC stopped working as soon as they did the recall repair. Apparently it is quite a common problem. When my husband called Sonora Ford dealership, he was told he had to make an appointment. So a week later he brought the car in and was told they would run the codes and we would be charged $175-$225. So we didn't want to pay this fee when we did not cause the problem. My husband added freon and it leaked out within a week. So obviously the dealership put a hole into our AC system. Luckily my husband is able to fix this problem. We will never use this Ford Dealership again and are very disappointed with their poor customer service. read more

Went online on Sunday at their website to set up a simple oil change for my 22 ranger. Set up appt for 10am July 30th 2024. The next day I get a text from Sonora ford asking me to confirm my appointment. I responded positively and related I will wait for the service. I received a response stating that i cannot do that as the only on line appointments are drop offs and there is only 4 slots for waiting for service per day. I have made appointments on line using the same website before so this was news to me. I was advised to call the service center personally if I wanted to schedule a service and wait for its completion. HOW IS THIS CONVENIENT FOR CUSTOMERS? To be fair. I was offered another appointment at a later dateand time, but it was not convenient for me. They really need to update their website and make their new process for requesting a service appointment clear. If you put up so many roadblocks for customers, we will take our business elsewhere. read more

I just received yet another call from the dealership this morning. Wanting to know if I was still pleased with my purchase. I'm 72 and I must tell you that this was by far the best car buying experience I've ever had. We were treated fairly and were surprised to learn how much was done to the car in preparation for selling such as new tires and brakes. The reality is that you never really know what your getting when you purchase a used car. Instead of just detailing the car and putting it on the lot for the highest possible profit the dealership did the right thing in making sure the vehicle was safe to operate. I can only relate my experience with the sales side of the business which was great. Joe was our salesman and he and everyone worked with me to make this a positive experience. We drove over two hours to get there and it was totally worth it. read more

DO NOT BUY A USED CAR FROM HERE. I REPEAT. DO NOT BUY A USED CAR FROM HERE!! I BOUGHT A 2013 Ford Escape with 52k miles on it for 12k. In which I thought was a steal. Little did I know in the two years of having this car I've put well over 6k into it. LEMON CAR. There was an oil leak when I bought it that they didn't disclose and one of the mechanics slipped up and mentioned it. Should of given it back then for the non disclosure. So here I am 6k into this car still owe easily 9k left and now the transmission is almost out at 90k miles. Now I'm stuck with a car I'm lying for and a 4K plus transmission I can't afford. These people WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE. Do not buy from them!!!!! read more

Sonora Ford - Car Dealers Near Me - Sonora, California

After several visits to Sonora Ford, my bonus mom (best friend's mother) Sharon, settled on a Subaru Outback. The salesman Parker was terrific and patient in helping her explore her options. The time came for a the negotiation. Mom's son, Dan called and talked with the team at Sonora Ford and arranged the purchase. They were informed that the price quoted was out the door and that there was to be no further haggling over extra warranties or any other costs. We drove to the dealership and were met by Parker, who handed us off to the Finance Manager. From there the exceptional experience turned ugly very quickly. The first thing we heard was "this car has NO warranty" do you want to purchase the extended warranty, it will be $2600.00. We had brought a cashier check for the full amount of the purchase which had been negotiated in the call from Dan. This was exactly the scenario Dan had wanted his mom to not have to deal with. Mom was pushes into calling the bank and transferring more funds from her savings and then authorizing an increase to her debit ability so that the finance manager could charge her for the warranty. At this point I stopped the transaction until mom could speak with Dan, as it was not sitting right that she was paying cash (NOT FINANCING) for this 2018 Subaru Outback and it had no warranty of any kind. We had not been in the finance office for more than 10 minutes and the tone he used with us was unprofessional and belittling. The sales manager got involved and the information changed again. We were informed the car has a warranty. The remainder of the 7yr/100,000 mile warranty. After a heated and chaotic call with Dan and the 3 gentleman from Ford, where the sales manager proceeded to talk over the top of everyone and was more prepared to speak than listen. After the call ended and we continued forward with the paperwork a change in price was brought up. Yes, it was in Sharon's favor but when the question was asked, why the price was different, the finance manager, actually huffed and stated "I DON'T KNOW." At this point Momma Sharon was ready to walk away. The sales manager returned and moved us to a new finance manager. Richard was extremely professional. Handled all of the paperwork and questions without issue or attitude. We found the change in price was due to tags already being paid for 2022. Easily explained. The extended warranty was also brought up again but in a much more professional manner. We were even presented with 2 different options for the warranty. One with and one without a deductible. The cost would have been only $1900.00. Because of the previous discussions the warranty was turned down. However Momma Sharon stated later that evening if Richard had handled the transaction from the beginning she would have taken the warranty, but she was so over the situation she just wanted to be done. The car is perfect, the salesman was wonderful and mom is overall happy with her purchase read more

I will never go here again as they look out for themselves, not customer. Nav screen went out, no radio even. After 7 hr wait was told it needed a sending unit part for $800. Not in stock so had to wait for that for several days I was advised. Then 2 days later car wouldn't start. Called in Vic's. He replaced battery that had 1/2 inch thick corrosion on both terminals, and problem is fixed! Car starts, runs, and Nav screen and radio work perfectly! No Sending unit part was necessary!!! I know if I had I gotten the part installed they would have said I also needed a new battery. Wish I knew how to add a photo cuz I would share that too! read more

ONLY TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE IF YOU ARE READY TO DROP A MILLION. This review is not based on one time experience with Sonora Ford. Took my car here for a heater hose that I was told would be covered under warranty, took them 5 hours to see what hose was leaking coolant after my husband found it in 5 minutes of looking at the car and told them what hose it was, we didn't need a diagnostic we knew what hose was leaking. We were told all fees would be waived, only had to pay for the part upon pick up $135. (My husband refuses to let these so called mechanics work on my car again.) Once we got there we were told $309, we said no you told us yesterday on the phone the part was $135 and they continued to say that's the diagnostic fee, after we already told them what the problem was and that we only needed the heater hose. Long story short if you take your vehicle here get ready to deal with crooks and liars. read more
