Sales department, amazing! Service department,AWFUL!!!! Shame on you Ford!!!!!!! ! Your sales department has to assist in your service department. When I was not able to Service department,AWFUL!!!! Shame on you Ford!!!!!!! ! Your sales department has to assist in your service department. When I was not able to maintain my car, while it was being diagnosed, Tony Pizzella, in your sales department, who sold me my car, and Memphis (in the rental department) assured me that everything would be handled In a professional manner.They were very supportive. I give them accolades. The service department was very difficult. I reached out on three separate occasions without any response. Had it not been for Tony Pizzella they would probably still have my car. I give great thanks to both Tony and Memphis for navigating me through the difficulties of your service department. Mind you, this is not part of their job description , however they stepped up to the plate to make sure everything was made right . I am disheartened to say that your service department at Ford lacks organization. I should not have been without my car for 3 1/2 weeks to get a diagnostic. My car was drivable, yet I was advised by the service department it needed to be there because a diagnostic could be available at any time . Side note, I had already had my car in several months before with the same issue, which was unresolved. I do blame this on the poor ability to question the customer and take proper notes. Yes, I would be willing to buy a car from Sunset Ford again, but I will never, never, never, have my car serviced there ever, ever again. I apologize for the redundancy, but I hope Ford can make this right for future customers. I will make this known on several media outlets . I would advise that you make changes to the advantage of your customers. Thank you for your time and concern in this matter. Jill Burstein More

I had my first Ford vehicle serviced at this place over 10 years ago, and the service was excellent. So, I decided to bring it back for a faulty headlight replacement/repair on 2.12.24. It seemed like a si 10 years ago, and the service was excellent. So, I decided to bring it back for a faulty headlight replacement/repair on 2.12.24. It seemed like a simple fix, but as of now, I still don't have my car back. During the first week, the technician was out sick, and the following week they needed to run diagnostics and troubleshoot. I informed the service person, Mike, that I needed my vehicle back by 2.26.24 due to prior commitments. I even told him that if he wasn't 100% sure that the vehicle would be ready by then, I would gladly pay for the part and come back at a later time as the car was needed for transportation. Mike assured me that he would work on it. However, it's now 2.27.24, and Mike is not returning my phone calls even though he has my car. I am disappointed, and to be honest, a little embarrassed. The place is good for oil changes like the review says, but I wouldn't recommend getting trapped like I did. Update: After Mike at Sunset called me back, he agreed to return my car to me. We scheduled the repair to be done a week later. When the day arrived for the repair to be completed, he gave me a rental car to use while mine was being worked on. They replaced the wire harness and fixed the recall issue. I got my car back on the same day. In the end, Mike made the situation right, and I am grateful for his help. More

The five star rating that I gave you was for your mobile service unit. The gentleman came to my house to repair. My truck were very polite. Have a great personality and knew exactly what to do within an hou service unit. The gentleman came to my house to repair. My truck were very polite. Have a great personality and knew exactly what to do within an hour. They had the work completely done. I give this rating to the mobile service because I’ve been trying to get into your service department for a year. I received a safety call notice at the end of 2022. I got a hold of your service department to make an appointment and the parts for the repair were not in. I was told they would call when they came in which never happened. In July 2023 I called to find out about the parts and they said that they had them in stock. So I made another appointment which they said had to be in January 4 of 2024 or I could take the vehicle someplace else and have the work done. I waited to January 4 and brought my vehicle in. I left it with your service department to have it worked on eight hours later I was told that they couldn’t get to it. I would have to leave it overnight to have the work done. I came in to find out what the problem was , it seems that your service writer decided to put other people in front of me and I had to wait which was not satisfactory. I feel that the way you run your service department needs to be corrected the mobile service unit that was sent out to my house after I complain about your service department Did an excellent job. I am more than happy with your mobile service unit not I repeat not your service department. Again the rating I give you is for your mobile service unit not your service department. Thank you. More

Service dept seems to be fairly organized with good customer service. Only complaint is being on a waiting list to get moonroof repaired with no call back for 6 months. Sales side far less organized customer service. Only complaint is being on a waiting list to get moonroof repaired with no call back for 6 months.

Sunset Ford is an Amazing dealer. We recently had an oil leak on our Escape. Mike Sowards took great care of us. We trust them and wouldn’t go anywhere else for service.

Worst service department yet! Had to make an appointment 3 weeks in advance for an oil change. Made the earliest I could schedule (8:30). Tried to call numerous times between 2:30 Had to make an appointment 3 weeks in advance for an oil change. Made the earliest I could schedule (8:30). Tried to call numerous times between 2:30 and 3 P.M. but no answer. Left a call back number. Waited 30 minutes and no call back. Finally had my wife drive me to the dealership to check on the status. The service adviser told me that there were 2 vehicles ahead of mine. What is the point of making an 8:30 appointment 3 weeks in advance just to find out my car has been sitting for over 6 hours without being addressed. Sadly I have purchased all but one of my new cars from Sunset over the past 30 years and up until now have been pleased with the dealership. This experience has left me soured on Sunset Ford! More

Good service and was in and out in a very short time. Unfortunately had to wait almost a month to schedule it, but I guess that couldn't be helped given circumstances beyond the dealership's control.
