Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. I brought my old car in for a minor repair and left with a whole new car! So sad that Ford is no longer making the Escape. More

Extremely Disappointed – Poor Service and Accountability I purchased a 2020 F-150 from Sunset Ford in early 2021, directly off the showroom floor. The truck had a hole in the passenger seat More

I watched a customer being really rude and disrespectful to Lonnie the young lady that was assisting. I want to say she handled him with grace, patience and professionalism. She stayed calm, respectful and More

I was in town for a few days, ended up with a "low tire" message on the dashboard. I pulled into the dealership since I was worried about running on a flat. I was helped by Lonnie Mosbacher. I did not More

I did reach out to you by phone, but you were not willing to honor the commitment your manager made to me. After sharing my experience on social media, I received many replies and messages from others who have encountered the exact same fraudulent practice at this dealership over the last five years. This is not just a single instance of a "policy change." It's been going on for years and you are not doing anything about it.
