Over the years we have purchased many vehicles from Dealerships. Most of not all were long, uncomfortable, and sometimes just an absolutely terrible experience. In this case however, our experience Dealerships. Most of not all were long, uncomfortable, and sometimes just an absolutely terrible experience. In this case however, our experience with Ken Grody Ford was absolutely different. Not only was it smooth, efficient, and quick. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly, helpful, and listened to us. We get it… the Dealership have a business to run. And while we compromised on some of our ‘deal breakers’, in the end we feel very satisfied. While we say everyone at Ken Grody was great, we want to call out our Sales Consultant, Brock Pizza and Finance Manager, Rafael Ballesesteros who are absolute ROCK STARS! Again, the Dealership is in the business to make money, but none the less, these two made the entire buying experience worthwhile. Because of these two guys, we give perfect scores to Ken Grody Ford!

BUYER BEWARE. Evidently this dealership does not do a thorough inspection of their used vehicles. I'm highly disappointed in my experience purchasing from them and Evidently this dealership does not do a thorough inspection of their used vehicles. I'm highly disappointed in my experience purchasing from them and will never do it again. I bought a 2017 Jeep Wrangler with about 80,000 miles on it almost a year ago. Starting within six months of owning the vehicle, I've had a string of repairs costing me upward of $5,000. Now, almost a year from the purchase date, the vehicle needs a new engine quoted at over $12,000. Within one year of purchase this vehicle needs $17,000 worth of work, which is just absurd to me. I've bought many used cars in my life and have never experienced this. When I went to discuss this with them they essentially told me that this is just the risk you take when you buy a used vehicle and that they wouldn't help me in any way other than to offer me nearly nothing on a trade-in so they could make another sale to me. Avoid these guys at all costs. More

Angel Martinez was outstanding in identifying a used 2015 Yukon SLT. Paloma Arroyo was exceptional to address delivery of vehicle title. The only fob provided was and is so worn the symbols are gone. As p Yukon SLT. Paloma Arroyo was exceptional to address delivery of vehicle title. The only fob provided was and is so worn the symbols are gone. As promised, the second fob arrived a week later also terribly worn. The second fob will not program to the vehicle nor is the cut key useable. One would consider a more professional exchange to address the condition of both fobs somewhere in the sale-to-delivery process. The state of the two fobs is a frustrating disappointment. In closing, the battery held 8.2 volts (normal is 12.5V) requiring a replacement a week later not to mention a tow service to start the vehicle to drive. Clearly room for improvement. More
