Awe. . Happy Thursday! I , Denise McGuire ,just purchased back on September 2025 absolutely Perfect Ford Explorer, 2022 I call it my God car… Because I . Happy Thursday! I , Denise McGuire ,just purchased back on September 2025 absolutely Perfect Ford Explorer, 2022 I call it my God car… Because I only came to look at one car total! I drove my 2004 Ford excursion that I was the original owner, for 378,000 miles… After driving my car that long, I really did not know what I wanted… So I asked God… What do I want…? And he put in front of me, from car guru the Ford Explorer Hybrid in Buena Park @ Ken Grody Ford ! Thank you Jesus !!!! Just one month in a red light went on that said service battery soon.. I called Ken Grody service and spoke with this absolutely kind, helpful, efficient, young man, Tim Prete! I had made an appointment for that day, brought the car in, and waited four hours for them to complete fixing what they found. The smaller battery was faulty! I am ever so grateful! That day, I also met an absolutely kind, helpful, and efficient young woman named Diana Valenzuela! Thank you, Ken Grody Ford ! Thank youJesus! On the road I went… Till one week later, another red light went on… That said,” Service electrical soon” Yikes!! Again, I called. I made an appointment with Tim Prete to bring the car in… I had to leave it he said and do the best he could to find out the issue!! What a journey… I had to rent a car, things happened that the car had to stay there for nine days During that time, renting the car was getting to be quite a burden for me, considering I just retired my excursion and was very dependent on my new car…, I had my friend Robin-after five days ,follow me to Ken Grody Ford service and Met for a moment with Diana Valenzuela.., that I was going to turn in the rental… just keep me posted on the progress of my brand new to me Ford Explorer Diana was so extremely helpful, to let me go ahead and keep my Rent-A-Car and you Ken Grody took care of my Rent-A-Car! THANK YOU BEYOND Especially since many things were happening behind the scenes that were delaying the progress of the diagnosis to fix my car !! Thank you, Diana! Thank you, Tim! After five more days… I got the call from Tim… THIS IS THE DAY … You can come pick up your car! Hallelujah thank you Tim. Thank you Diana. Thank you Jesus! I did and they shared with me that it was two fuses that had melted. It was very hard to detect and find I am so very grateful for all of the expertise that was done to Fix My Car! I will refer Ken Grody Ford to everyone… I do know a lot of people lol and they ALL love My Car… AFTER 21 YEARS OF DRIVING MY FORD EXCURSION AND ON THE ROAD THAT WHOLE TIME… WE RAISED OUR FAMILY IN IT! I had changed the oil every 3000 miles , our car was so dependable and I will always be a Ford owner! Again, I am sincerely grateful for Tim Prete and Diana Valenzuela! They truly blessed my life! Thank you! God bless you all and our families🙏 More

Tim Prete is the main reason I rated the dealership as a 5. He always conducts him self in a friendly and professional manner. When you take your vehicle in for service, I strongly recommend that you ask 5. He always conducts him self in a friendly and professional manner. When you take your vehicle in for service, I strongly recommend that you ask for Tim. He doesn't try to "over sell" and returns your vehicle when promised. More

Tim Prete is more than a Ken Grody service advisor but one who cares and goes above and beyond to keep me informed and updated daily on the repairs to my Lincoln Navigator transmission. Tim also informed one who cares and goes above and beyond to keep me informed and updated daily on the repairs to my Lincoln Navigator transmission. Tim also informed and helped me with enterprise rentals during the time my Navigator was being repaired. My Lincoln Navigator runs better than new and shifts seemingly going up and down hills. I went to thank the transmission mechanic'(s) or should I say automotive engineer'(s) for work well done. I recommend to ALL, Ken Grody Ford Buena Park for any future automotive needs. Thank you again. More
