We had bee I recently purchased a 2014 Ford Mustang from beach ford. Our sales person is no longer with Beach Ford so we were assigned to Brian Jones. We had been promised that a paint chip and the fuel door would be repaired. We finally were able to get the car over to the collision center to have them look at the issue. They set my wife up for an appointment for June 19th at 0900.My wife shows up at the dealership and Brian Jones is on vacation and nobody had any information from Brian that my mustang was going to be taken care of. I called the collision center and talked with Jennifer Turner which took immediate action and had my wife at her location with enterprise rental car shuttle picking her up. After my wife got to the rental car agency no one their had any information from Brian for my wife's rental car. We are now going on 11 o'clock. Once again I called Jennifer Turner and she had my wife taken care of and on her way in no time. I want to personally thank you for having great people like Jennifer Turner working with your dealership. Brian Jones You could learn a lot from this extraordinary woman. Thank you once again Jennifer my wife and I owe you for helping us out. Sincerely Chris and Tammy Meadows More

My last time at Beach Ford Brought my 2010 Fusion in for a state inspection and oil change. Everything went well, and about an hour later I was done, paid, and walking to my ca Brought my 2010 Fusion in for a state inspection and oil change. Everything went well, and about an hour later I was done, paid, and walking to my car. A service person asked me if I wanted him to test my battery for me. I was not aware that I had a battery problem, and nothing had been mentioned to me prior to paying my bill. Was told that the battery needed jumped to start, but it had started now and should be good to go. Not wanting to deal with this later on I waited there, and attempted to restart the car. Battery dead, no engine turnover. They jumped and charged it again, and the same result. Retested the battery and now it had very low cold cranking amps, ~200. The service guy took the car around back to test it and see what was going on. 30ish minutes later they came back and told my the battery was dead and it needed replaced, and they would install it with no labor charge for $120. This was the first time I had ever had a problem with my battery, so something seemed off to me. I asked to speak to the service manager, so he could explain how something like that can happen. About 20 minutes later he came down, told me that batteries are tricky, and was basically very dismissive towards me and didn't want to explain to me how it is possible for a battery to be fine one minute, and be completely dead the next. The service manager told me that that was all he could do and had to get going because he was very busy. I called a local auto chain and found a battery for cheaper than what Beach Ford was going to charge me. While I was waiting 20+ minutes to have my old battery put back in so I could leave, I witnessed the service manager sit in the lobby and talk to an older couple the entire time I was there. That feels to me that he just didn't care about my problem or experience in his service department. I have bought three cars form Beach Ford, and the sales staff is very good. The service department has continuously been sub par in my opinion and this is the last straw. I will no longer be purchasing my cars from Beach Ford. More

I bought my 2011 Ford Flex from Beach Ford and its had a few minor problems. My experience with the service department is very bad. I took my car there on two separate occasions and both times I had issues few minor problems. My experience with the service department is very bad. I took my car there on two separate occasions and both times I had issues with not the quality of work but how long it took for them to do the job. The first time I went there I was told that It would only take an hour and a half to fix the lock on my door. I ended up being there for more than three hours. Two hours after being there the team leader finally came up to me and told me that they did not realize they had to take apart my door to fix the lock. The second time I brought my car in was to have an oil change, to fix the rattling sound in the Roof lining and to have my rear seat latch fix. My appointment was for 9:40 in the morning. After going all day without hearing anything from the dealership I called them around 3 o'clock in the afternoon to ask for the status of my car only to find out they did not even touch my car. Not even a simple oil change. I was told that the things that need to be fixed on my car would need more than a day to do and that I would have to bring back my car and leave it with them for two days. When they finally fixed my car I went to pick it up my car. After inspecting my car I noticed that they got the roof lining completely dirty and I had to sit there and wait even longer for them to clean it. Because of their service department Beach Ford has definitely lost a customer and I will be looking for other dealerships to take my car to for future repairs and oil change. More

I made a appointment at 3:00 for my car to get a state inspection sticker which is a 20 minute process and it took 2 hours!!! what is the point of a appointment if we're going to be waiting 2 hours for a inspection sticker which is a 20 minute process and it took 2 hours!!! what is the point of a appointment if we're going to be waiting 2 hours for a simple process.

Brought car in for 120,000 mile service. Picked up car after service and noticed technician had forgotten to change pcv valve. Brought vehicle back and this was replaced. Next morning noticed oil drippi after service and noticed technician had forgotten to change pcv valve. Brought vehicle back and this was replaced. Next morning noticed oil dripping in driveway. Vehicle has never to this point leaked a single drop. Looked underneath and found oil everywhere under engine from left to right. Immediately brought the vehicle back to Beach Ford. Technician admitted to spilling oil and forgetting to clean up after his oil change. Said he then cleaned it up, drove it around and found no leak. After all this, I decided to double check every item on the list of services and found that technician forgot to rotate the tires. This was evident as I had wanted the rear tires moved up front because they had better tread. I also had one leaky tire which was in exactly the same spot as when I brought it in. Upon further examination, the timing belt cover was left on very loose (just barely hand tightened). I had asked them to take a look at the belt and let me know if it needed to be replaced. Technician said it looked original. Report said "some wear". When I brought it to an independent mechanic and paid him to take the entire cover all the way off (which takes a little more time on an escort) we noticed the belt was actually in great shape and not original at all. Probably had been replaced when I bought the vehicle about 15,000 miles ago. PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS SERVICE CENTER, THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY, FORGET TO DO REPAIRS AND LIE TO YOUR FACE. THEY ARE NOT HONEST OR TRUSTWORTHY. THE BEACH FORD SERVICE REP EVEN TOLD ME THAT FOR FUTURE REPAIRS THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE THAT THE SAME TECHNICIAN WOULD NOT WORK ON MY CAR! SO MUCH FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EFFORT. AT THE VERY LEAST SCORE YOUR PARTS AND ASK FOR THEM BACK TO ENSURE THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING THEIR JOB. More

Phenomenal experience - consistently. Becky Slater is the ultimate professional with an unparalleled customer focus. Becky fit both cars in for early morning service with staggered appointments. She tracked ultimate professional with an unparalleled customer focus. Becky fit both cars in for early morning service with staggered appointments. She tracked service on the first car to ensure adequate turnaround time to make a round trip home to drop off the first and pick up the second for service. During the repair process, Becky sought me out with regular updates on progress. We have two Beach Ford purchases and are certain to return. Above the unparalleled service, the facility is well planned for customer comfort and ease. My youngest son looks forward to service visits for the opportunity to eat at the snack bar. The staff is friendly, accomodating and, mighty fine masters of the culinary arts. Well done, Beach Ford! More

I obtained three other estimates which ranged from $880 to $1100. BEACH FORD was the final place I drove my truck to for an estimate. My wife and some of my friends said to not even bother, but I f to $1100. BEACH FORD was the final place I drove my truck to for an estimate. My wife and some of my friends said to not even bother, but I figured with my previous experiences at BEACH FORD, I should be close to lower end of the repair estimates. It blew my mind that a dealership's repair center would be not only competitive, but a better deal for the repairs needed on my truck! More

Bought my 2010 Ford F-150 from Beach Ford a year ago in April. They took great care of me through the sales process and have seen to my vehicle's maintenance needs with superior service ever since. Hats- April. They took great care of me through the sales process and have seen to my vehicle's maintenance needs with superior service ever since. Hats-off, in particular, to Roy Brunner and Becky Slater, my sales and service "Professionals" respectively. My next vehicle will come from Beach Ford. V/R, Bill Gassett More
