I am not sure what all the negative reviews are about. I bought my second vehicle from them this year for a reason. They were reasonable about price the first time and the second time, they were easy t I bought my second vehicle from them this year for a reason. They were reasonable about price the first time and the second time, they were easy to work with and the transactions were quick both times, they were not pushy about sales in the finance office both times, the salesman (John Lucas), sales managers, and even the GM were transparent, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. The first vehicle I got was a new vehicle and I had a vehicle to trade in. Everything went great. A few days after I bought the vehicle and was washing it, I noticed what I thought was a paint flaw on the roof of my truck. I contacted them and they promised to get it taken care of. Their detailer gave it a light go (staying within his means and making sure h didn't mess up the paint) but made no progress. Then they put me in contact with their paint/body professional. Weeks later, when I finally had the time, that gentleman took care of the paint issue which turned out to be some adhesive residue left over from the protection Ford used during shipping. They held true to their word and it went easier/better than anything I have ever experienced with a dealer in my life. I am not sure what is going on with all the negative reviews. Honestly, I think they may be some people who had bad experiences for whatever reason along with others trolling the dealership. I did not have a moment I would even consider average with them. Every experience I have had with them has been great! Buy with confidence in my opinion. I highly recommend John Lucas at Malloy Ford for both new and used vehicles. We bought one new and one used through him and it was a great experience. More
I contacted Malloy Ford via their website about a new Ford. Their published price and discount were very competitive. Unfortunately, the salesperson that contacted me confirmed that the price was a bit m Ford. Their published price and discount were very competitive. Unfortunately, the salesperson that contacted me confirmed that the price was a bit misleading. They told me that all cars on the lot have RESISTALL (mop and glow garbage) applied to them at a cost of $1395. Very disappointing! There is no mention of this mandatory add on anywhere on the website. Malloy Ford wasted my time and their time. I'm rating the dealership 1 star and the salesperson that I talked to 3 stars - I don't know where the deception lies but I will give the person the benefit of the doubt and assume they told me the truth about the dealership policy.

Malloy Service diagnosed my 2007 Mustang with a bad PCM and wanted $2,200 to replace it. I sent the PCM toa diagnostic shop in Herndon and was told that it was good.

A few months back I took my car to MALLOY FORD for a recall and to fix my back up camera which was under warranty. When I got the car back they told me my brakes wouldn’t pass inspection and they coul recall and to fix my back up camera which was under warranty. When I got the car back they told me my brakes wouldn’t pass inspection and they could do them for $1600. I balked at that. They then said they could work on the two that needed it for $400 something each. I told them I would talk to my mechanic. I went to Charlottesville Tire & Auot. He just rolled his eyes and said I probably don’t need them and they offer a package deal for $400 something. Today I had my annual inspection. They said I only need front brake pads. So inspection, oil change and both brake pads cost $371. I never hear good stories at Malloy. Something to remember. More
Horrible. I would give zero stars if this site would let me. We went in to order a Maverick. We had already built it out on the Ford website and knew exactly w I would give zero stars if this site would let me. We went in to order a Maverick. We had already built it out on the Ford website and knew exactly what we wanted. Got through the whole order process with the salesman and told no deposit was necessary because there was nothing that would make it hard for them to sell. We signed the order and were told to check back after a few weeks to see if a VIN had been issued. Called after three weeks and was told there was no order, their system had a note that we “still deciding.” Went back to the dealership and got no explanation, just a lot of shoulder shrugs and maybe a mysterious “someone” shredded the paperwork. We could start the process over. They very much did not care. The new car sales manager magically came up with a Customer Order Verification Program confirmation email and said everything was taken care of. Silly them, they had just misplaced the file. A week later a different sales person called to see if we were ready to come in and put a deposit down and order the vehicle. We called the COVP folks directly and they said the order number given to us was for a transit van that the dealer had canceled. They never ordered our truck, either time. And the sales manager evidently fabricated a false order verification document, probably just to get rid of me. We would have been waiting 4 to 6 months for a vehicle that wasn’t coming. No one at Malloy acted like they cared even a little. Don’t trust them! Don’t buy from them! They had no interest or intention to complete a sale they didn’t even have to work for. The person at COVP tracked down two Mavericks that fit our order and said we could have one transferred and we told him maybe, but not to Malloy and he even said “I don’t blame you.” More
Extremely disappointed in the service provided. My fiance brought my vehicle in several weeks ago for a check engine light on. Dealership stated that the purge solenoid needed replacing and they wo My fiance brought my vehicle in several weeks ago for a check engine light on. Dealership stated that the purge solenoid needed replacing and they would order the part. Several weeks of no contact, we have to chase them down to get an answer as to when the part is in. Once it finally WAS in (a month later), we scheduled an appointment for 8:30 as we were told the work would take 3 hours for the replacement plus a state inspection. Bear in mind, the dealership claimed to have completed a multi-point inspection at the first visit, and listed every item as "passed." The day of our appointment, the work still isn't completed at 2PM, and we're informed that it will fail state inspection unless the windshield wipers are replaced and ALL FOUR brake pads and rotors are "resurfaced" to the tune of another $800. This after ANOTHER "multi-point inspection" in which those items are listed as "passed." Either neither of the multi-point inspections were completed, or the standards they set for passing are not actually road-worthy - or the work didn't need done at all, but they'd like another $800. Absolutely not, we'll take our money elsewhere, thanks. More
My friend from Tucson drove cross-country to Charlottesville in September. Her air conditioner broke and she insisted on going to Malloy Ford. She got an oil change and tire rotation as well a Charlottesville in September. Her air conditioner broke and she insisted on going to Malloy Ford. She got an oil change and tire rotation as well as an estimate to repair her AC. They charged her $285.00!!!!! MY mechanic charges $39.95 for an oil change and tire rotation. My friend was charged a $185.00 fee just for an estimate!!! Their estimate to repair the AC was $2,400+ and there is a 3% "processing fee" charged if she pays with a credit card! I am glad she waited to return to HER Ford dealer in Tucson. Tucson Ford repaired her AC for less than $1,000.00. MALLOY FORD IS A MAJOR RIP OFF. Avoid taking anything to them!!!! DON'T TRUST ANYONE AT MALLOY FORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE THE WORST!!!!!!!!!!! More

i purchased a 2015 ford mustang from malloy ford of Charlottesville. they shipped the car down from Alexandria for me. upon seeing the car i saw the tires were low on tread. 3/32s on the outer shoulder Charlottesville. they shipped the car down from Alexandria for me. upon seeing the car i saw the tires were low on tread. 3/32s on the outer shoulder and 4/32s on the inner shoulders of both front tires. Eric was the sales manager at the time. he offered to sell me two tires before i even signed the paper work. not via the sales dept paying for it via a we owe, but me the customer pay for it. the DOT number on the tires indicated theyre from 2015 and rolled off the assembly line with the car. after showing the photos to Eric on how dry rotted they were he finally replaced them. but like Billy mays said but wait theres more! the passenger seat was so loose the whole assembly could be shaken by hand. low and behold the seat bolts were finger loose. brought it up to eric and he got that fixed as well. this is where it gets great. the car had a sticker on the window for 2 months up north that advertised the car as having heated seats. when i went to replace the seat cover because malloy hired someone who over sprayed on my seat belt buckles and left my seats loose. i noticed the seat covers came up as black. but the seats are a milled pebble color... the car came with recaros (all black leather) yet somehow theyre advertising this car with heated seats. their fall back is another company makes the window stickers for them. and that they never advertised it with those options in cville. that stickers fine print apparently covers omissions from that sheet.... omissions would info withheld not falsely advertised. hence the definition of the word.... when a company needs to fall back on the fine print cause their sales model is that of Mathilda's father from the movies then you know something's wrong mistakes happen in any industry/business but this many in a row aren't mistakes. they are lack of integrity and work ethic. And when I come to a dealer to get copies of my paper work I shouldn’t be met with so much hostility for asking to get copy’s. Of paperwork they’re required to give me if I ask. And keep on file for 5 years. I asked for two papers and had a sales manager attempting to explain omissions to me. I didn’t even ask to speak to him. I asked for two papers and had to hear bs about how I lost them. I could lose those papers every week and they still have to keep them on file More
The worst the service writer and manger they charge my mother in law $1800 to fix her car and we picked it up on Thursday and it broke down on Saturday with the same thing it went back and they had it for mother in law $1800 to fix her car and we picked it up on Thursday and it broke down on Saturday with the same thing it went back and they had it for over 2 months and never could get it fix so I had to get it and take it to another shop they told me they couldn't find a part that was $600 but they could get her old one remanufactured for $100 when we went to pay they charge us $600 when ask we were told they found another one but they had already told me they had sent ours off to get it done I thought I could trust these people but I guess NOT !!!
