I recently turned in my leased vehicle and had the pleasure of working with Simon. I had planned to buy my old car, but he clearly showed me, without pressure, where I would lose any warranty and be b pleasure of working with Simon. I had planned to buy my old car, but he clearly showed me, without pressure, where I would lose any warranty and be better off with a new lease. I AM SO HAPPY I DID! Simon is kind and approachable and honest. We had great conversations from teaching/schools to homelessness. He worked extremely hard for several hours to get me the monthly rate I needed and then he cleaned and gassed up the car I chose. He is the one to ask for if you want a new car or a lease! Mt previous experience here was not good with two other high-pressure salesmen. Thanks Simon! Professor Cheri More

Gabriel Carranza went above and beyond to make sure I got the deal I wanted. I'm a very difficult customer and pretty demanding. Gabriel did everything in his power and got me exactly what I wanted for the the deal I wanted. I'm a very difficult customer and pretty demanding. Gabriel did everything in his power and got me exactly what I wanted for the price I have him... I'd recommend everyone said the other food dealer in the south bay and go see Gabriel at South Bay Ford. Thanks man. More

Rip Off Scam Artists! Even to their own customers! I purchased my new F150 through South Bay Ford. About 3 months after my purchase, I had a new double din (larger screen than normal) radio installed b I purchased my new F150 through South Bay Ford. About 3 months after my purchase, I had a new double din (larger screen than normal) radio installed by a different stereo shop. Because my new stereo was larger than the factory stereo, I had to have a new dash kit (moulding that goes around your dashboard) installed as well. About a week after having everything installed, all of the electronics (windows, stereo, ect.) suddenly stopped working and the truck wouldn't drive. In a panic (I use the truck for work) I had my brand new truck towed up to the dealership. After they diagnosed it, they came back and told me that when the new stereo was put in, someone had put too large of a fuse in the fuse panel and that allowed an electric surge to fry the main electric panel causing the problem. $550 is what they charged me. I went back to the stereo shop, figuring someone owes me $550. The stereo shop was very adamant that they didn't touch the fuse, and there was no need to touch fuses when you install a new stereo. They even wrote it on company letterhead and signed it. So I went home and did some research. Turns out the stereo company was correct. There is no need to touch the fuse when installing stereos. What I did find out is the dash kit company had a recall on that dash kit. They replaced it for me and told me that if South Bay Ford had simply unplugged the dash kit, everything else would have went back to normal. There was no need to charge me $550, because all they did was unplug the dash kit!! I of course returned to the dealership, and tried to reason with them at first. I spoke with my service manager Eric Estrella wondering why they bold faced lied to me, got nowhere. Instead of answering my questions, Mr. Estrella went 'ghetto' on me-trying to intimidate me, at times he did things like get loud, standing over me as I sat waiting to talk to the service GM, when the GM did finally talk to me he stood behind him mad dogging me, cracking his knuckles like he wanted to fight me. I even asked the GM if this was their normal MO, allowing a employee to stand around giving dirty looks to a customer while there was no need for him to be in the area as we spoke? Yes, the GM allowed for it too continue. The service manager, Gabriel Havrilchak (whom i thought I was on pretty good terms with before this happened) not only backed up the 'bad fuse' story, but out and out was a complete jerk. His response when I asked him why they lied about the fuse, was (verbatim) "Your truck worked when you got it back, didn't it?" Then after I told him I was going to blast him on every review board online I could find, and sue him in small claims court, responded by telling me I wasn't welcome back , and I would have to get my services I had already paid for at his dealership done at a different Ford dealership, even though South Bay Ford had already pocketed my money. Several months later, I tried to turn to the actual GM, Dan Mueller. He was extremely hard to get ahold of, but after my undying persistence, I got a call. What was I thinking? I was thinking he would do the right thing, hahahaha. Of course not. He tried to take my words and turn them around, and eventually lied to my face as well (I had reported this violation to the federal automotive agency. Turns out they are like the BBB-no real authority, they only take reports-they can't force any of these guys to do anything. But they can testify for you in court. The investigator recommended that I sue, and he would be very happy to give the courts his opinion!). After several calls back and forth, Dan told me he spoke to the investigator, and the investigator told him he said no such thing! So of course I called the agency the very next day...... the investigator had been transferred to a completely different branch of the bureau all together-about a month earlier!!! Dan Mueller had lied to my face about even speaking to the investigator-he had no interest at all in finding out the truth. What a joke this place is. On their own website, it states "Everyone here lives by one simple rule - our customers deserve to have a stress free and informative experience" It should state "Everyone here is a scam artist. We get care less about our customers, and like to lie to their faces giving them the most stressed filled experience imaginable" I hope that $550 was worth forever losing a customer, and the fact that I will forever spread this story to anyone who will listen. If my story saves just one person from getting scammed by this dealership, I'm glad I could help. If South Bay Ford loses just one sale because of what happened to me, your in the hole and deserve it! More

Amazing Service I don’t understand these poor reviews I had an absolute wonderful experience at this dealership. I went into to the dealership on 6/10/2019 to lea I don’t understand these poor reviews I had an absolute wonderful experience at this dealership. I went into to the dealership on 6/10/2019 to lease a new Ford Flex and it's been a wonderful experience. First of all I was greeted my a extremely friendly and knowledgeable young salesman Mohmed Mulla it was like striking gold with this guy laid back and such a genuinely nice guy. The vehicle I wanted was not at this dealership so the Sales Manager Adolfo Toledo went out of his way to locate the exact vehicle at a better price then was originally agreed upon to be delivered on 6/11/2019. The following day I received a call that the sales rep from trading dealership wasn't available to complete deal which raised red flags for me you here about people having such bad experiences so I came back to the dealership to get a refund on my deposit. Once there I was greeted by Mohmed and the Floor Manager Howard Malinsky who apologized for the failure to trade for the vehicle and that's when they really went above and beyond to remedy the situation and make a customer happy. I ended up leaving the dealership with a Ford Explorer that I shouldn't of been able to afford but they really went that extra mile. I've never recommended or had a wonderful experience buying a car but the employees of South Bay Ford are great if your looking for a Ford give them a try. More

Fantastic Customer Service I traded in my lease for a new lease working with Dale, who I worked with three years ago. He took care of everything for me, including little detail I traded in my lease for a new lease working with Dale, who I worked with three years ago. He took care of everything for me, including little details like syncing my phone. I worked with Mark Jaime who helped with everything related to financing and even remembered me from three years ago. I got a great deal (even my husband was impressed). Mark asked questions about things like how long my drive to work is, ensuring I won't go over miles. I remember he did that for me last time and with a new job in LA, it was appreciated, again! I recommend Dale and Mark to anyone looking for great customer service and a fair deal. More
