Report
We found a car via CarGurus and made our way to the dealer only to be told that the car was actually not available even though we confirmed it was via email with the dealer. It turned out we were talking to the dealers' AI. We asked to speak to the Manager, George Bolanos. From the moment we met, George went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. He found the car, established a timeline of when the car would be ready, and delivered in every way.
He and Randi, the Internet Sales Manager were amazing to work with. They were extremely communicative, responsive and professional. We literally went from almost leaving the dealer to buying our car, and ultimately looking to purchase another car for our son! George will now be our first choice for purchasing a vehicle. Thank you George and Randi! You ROCK!

I bought my truck here about two weeks ago and it had a list of issues that were covered under warranty. I give this discrepancies to the service department and they told me that I would be finished within a day after three days it still wasn't finish and I was told I'd have to come back. I absolutely do not recommend this places service department. Sales department was amazing and completely transparent. Tim (in sales was a great manager) and Julie in service was great even remembering my name. Other than them I don't like it here.

The whole team at North County Ford is amazing. Great service from the start. We knew the car we wanted and spoke to John over the phone. He was so helpful, took pictures of our Bronco Sport for us since we couldn't see it right away. Tim the sale manager, finance manager and everyone there made the process easy. Highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking at Ford cars. Ask for John!

I came into this Ford randomly as I was driving by and saw a vehicle I wanted to look at. I pulled up and there was a salesman named Eric (sorry, I'm not sure on the correct spelling of his name) whom I spoke with about a vehicle I am considering buying. Eric was super friendly, answered all my questions, and never once talked down to me like most car salesmen do to women. I am now even more considering buying from this dealership versus another.
