Great experience. Oscar and John were very active listeners and understood my goals early in the process. Made everything else smooth all the way to delivery.
We were given a quote from Sam's club the dealership would not honor it. Would not negotiate a fair price. He didn't want to take off the things we said we didn't need or want.
His attitude was not right he could have made the deal he seem like he just didn't want to work with the customer.

No complaints great communication
Tried to get a deal. Refused to budge on price. Then when vehicle sold (to someone else) they had the audacity to message me to brag saying they sold it at their full asking price. Totally unprofessional! They were obviously insulted that I would ask for less than $14,000 markup on a vehicle. Note to all dealerships, you pay invoice for new vehicles which is typically 5-10k less than MSRP. To add that much markup it insane!
Highly encourage any buyer to avoid this dealership. And if you are smart with your money, don’t pay markup.
Side note finally found a good dealership that worked with me. I was even willing to drive 2 hours to avoid this dealership.

Great customer service, bought a 2021 F150 and their service was great!! Everything was really fast, in under a couple of hours I was gone. Thank you North County Ford!
The dealership was prompt in responding to my inquiry. Overall, communication was great and friendly service. The listing was accurate about the vehicle’s details and information. Only one disappointment that kept me from giving the dealership a 5 star rating. At the time of negotiating the financing for the purchase, I was offered a $200 discount by the salesman. He had offered this discount to me because he was trying to help keep the monthly car payment within my budget. Unfortunately, this discount was not applied to the sales contract. The salesman failed in keeping his word and this was very disappointing for me.

The gentleman that I spoke with was helpful. Although I did not purchase from the dealer, I
would recommend them with just the short period I had dealings with them.

Robert was absolutely amazing to work with and made our time at the dealership quick and easy! Would 100% recommend north county Ford!

So far this dealer has been very helpful and cooperative!
Feb 1, 2021
Positive experience. John Martinez, internet sales manager and George Bollanos were very attentive and worked with me on making sure I walked away with a good deal. Didn’t feel pressured to buy.

Very nice experience.
"RC" was a pleasure
Oct 21, 2020
Randi took care of my family. The car was ready when they arrived and they were in and out quickly.

Richard "RC" Castaneda Fleet & Internet Manager
Is who I talk to By email and phone I asked him was the mileage correct He went and Checked When I talk to him over the phone I expressed how long the distance was and he said it would be worth the drive So I made an appointment for the 10th of October Friendly and honest about what he knew about the car and what he did Very nice guy made us comfortable talk to the assistant manager
George Bolinas Made a deal It was worth the drive I went home with the car great place

Amazing experience!!! Highly recommended;
North County Ford team was friendly and wanted
to make a deal. Not on'y did we purchase with
them, they also gave us an awesome deal on our
trade in. Would recommend doing business with
them to anyone!
Aug 21, 2020
After confusion whether they still had the car, They said the car was a lost leader and had no interest negotiating the price. Also they had installed a lo-Jack on it adding an extra $800 to the price. They had been advertising the car for months and basically were passing that cost on to the price of the car. Not a good deal.
Jul 29, 2020
They where very expensive they wanted 10,000 more for the truck I was looking at compared to other truck that where the same. I offered them a fair price and they would not take it, cars are not selling right now so the truck was worth even less than I offered, they where just being greedy, I don’t mind paying for a fair price for something but I want let some guys take advantage of me, I gave it one star because the guy was not rude
Jul 16, 2020
North County Ford was great with communication. They are willing to earn your business on multiple levels.
Jun 6, 2020
Unlike other dealerships, they were willing to talk about best price. They were able to actually send me an offer without hustling me into the dealership to press a hard sell.
May 13, 2020
The dealer responded quickly to my inquiry.
Mar 30, 2020
Was contacted promptly in regards to this vehicle, but we reconsidered this vehicle for a different one.
Jan 28, 2020
Excellent customer service, no haggling!! Car as expected!! Great car and worth the 300 mile drive to pick up. Contact: Oscar Gomez for a wonderful purchase experience!!

Some bullet points on why the service here deserves one star:
*After the initial buying experience trying to get a hold of anyone is impossible. The only way i received an answer was by constantly
calling and emailing every day for over a week. I only received an answer after sending an email saying I'd be contacting the Better
Business Bureau, Corporate and if the issue got this far just guess.
*After leaving the dealership the very next day my car was having issues, to make a long story short I was told by the dealership to
take my car to a dealership near me and they would take care of the cost of repair. After I personally shell out over $1000 for this repair
expecting reimbursement it took over a three weeks of calling and emailing several times a day to get a response from management
who was then saying they weren't going to reimburse me anymore.
*To make things worse the respect for customers just is not there. Needless to say buy somewhere else.

We made an appointment to see this car since we live an hour away. They held it for us , and it was detailed and ready to go when we arrived. Sergio and the rest of the team were fantastic! We were completely satisfied and we love our new car.

Attentive and helpful.

Great customer service
Apr 25, 2019
Spoke with Sean Hester who was very congenial and most helpful in answering my concerns. Unfortunately the vehicle I was interested in apparently got sold but was not taken out of their inventory list in a timely manner. I would probably have closed the deal with Sean had the vehicle been available. Thank you Sean for your excellent service both over the phone and via email.
Apr 17, 2019
North country Ford was awesome..they worked with me to get it done..even on the guys time off.
Trevor Martin and Mike Castillo where great dedicated guy's...
Apr 5, 2019
If I Could Give This Company zero Stars I would , worst experience of my life . I had made an appointment to see this car Sunday . I ended up showing up to see it on Friday just to find out that it was sold an hour earlier . The salesmen proceeded and asked if I wanted to see other cars but I declined and left .
Mar 30, 2019
Great dealer loved the customer service will definitely do business with them again
Worst service ever... imma be honest guy know nothing about truck or why the extra metal attachment where on and finance very unprofessional he didnt know anything about anything and wanted to run my credit a minimum of 4 times....

Very good. Plenty of follow-up and offer to help in the future.

This dealer is full of liars. I had a previous bad experience with them in the
same type of situation they lie just to get you in the store and try to sell you
something other than what you want. he last time I was buying a truck, they
lied and told me a particular truck was optioned the way I wanted it, (it was
not) after I went to the dealership, (not conveniently located to me), they tried
to sell me on a different truck with different options.
After my first bad experience, I emailed them the vin number and stock
number of the car I found that was outfitted the way I wanted it. The
"Internet sales manager" assured me it was still on the lot, so I drove up to
see it. They had a similar car, same color, different options, more miles
crappy repaint on the bumpers that didn't match the paint AND listed for
more money and he tried to tell me that's the one I emailed him about. I
showed him the printout of the one I enquired about and he made a show of
looking it up on the computer and said "Oh it sold today"...yeah, right.
Do NOT waste your time with these liars. There are better Ford dealers out
there. I have bought at several.

Very responsive, Richard (Foot) and John were very helpful.
Apr 2, 2018
made a test drive and purchased the truck. Great place to buy a truck.
Great truck as advertised and great price. Could not ask for more.
Mar 26, 2018
This car had been on CarGurus for 39 days. I drove it, and made an offer that they turned down. I left, but decided to pay their asking price. I called back 15 minutes later to say I would return and pay the asking price. I was told the car had sold. Interesting it was for sale for 39 days, but then sold 15 minutes after I drove away. Something very odd there. Then, two other employees sent emails to me, inviting me to the dealership, despite the fact that I had been there, and my offer had been turned down. Overall a weird experience. Glad I found a car a couple of days later at a different dealership.
Mar 25, 2018
friendly and responsive but not pushy.
Mar 17, 2018
ended up buying the car i wanted :)
I called North County Ford, when the listing first appeared on CarGurus. They told me it was just turned in by a previous owner and needed to reconditioning and recertification but would call me once the car was ready for purchase. I called again 3 days later to inquire about the car and Jesus was extremely helpful/accommodating and let me know that the car was not quite ready but that I could come in to look at the car. I was extremely interested in the car and Jesus was able to work out all the details for purchase even though the car wasn’t quite ready. I had a very positive experience with North county Ford and would highly recommend purchasing your next car from this dealership.

Great experience with this dealer. Bought truck.
Jan 22, 2018
Very responsive. Good gollow up. Just did not have the best price for the car with options we wanted.
Dec 17, 2017
Great experience, highly recommend North County Ford and especially my sales man Alex. Simple formula with Alex, he helped me find what I was looking for as opposed to selling me what they had. Great experience. Thank you.

Nov 18, 2017
The internet ad for the car I was interested in said it was an automatic transmission, which I wanted. I called and made an appointment to see it. I drove 60 miles to see it and found it not only was a stick shift but it wasn't ready to show. It was still in their shop being worked on. It was a waste of my time.
Sep 26, 2017

Mar 24, 2017
Not very communicating with calling back
Jan 21, 2017
I asked them to check on warranty information because BMW has changed their program. The dealer told me the car was in the shop and wouldn't be ready for a week. I asked them again to check on the warranty. The dealership called me the next day and advised the car was sold. This was a lie as the car is still listed and still for sale. This is the worst experience I've ever dealt with. I will never ever use this company and I bought the same car from another dealership. Sales people lied and sales people are lazy.
Nov 28, 2016
Quick response, friendly helpful staff ended up buying a car here!

I purchased a 2014 ford focus with 18000 miles in 3 days it has broken down twice. Service department did repairs covered under warranty only. Car still needs further repairs due to wiring damage due to rodents. North County Ford will not take car back. They offer was for me to trade car in and purchase another car. Know I'm having to get an attorney to settle issues with unsafe vehicle which shut off in middle of heavy traffic. Do not buy at this dealer
Apr 28, 2016
They called me numerous times. Very friendly.
Apr 25, 2016
Dealer response and test drive was good. But this car was mistakenly listed as a certified vehicle and that was confusing. We ended up buying another car.
Mar 19, 2016

worst dealership ever! totally joke, total rip off! Run from this
dealership! Worst experience ever. Traded the car I bought 6 days
later at Toyota Carlsbad....better dealership and much more
professional.
Sep 11, 2012
They used a come-on in their AD for a car they never had. I personally resent that. I drove all the way from Long Beach to the dealership in Vista only to be informed they had no such car in their inventory.
