Group 1 Ford of Southwest Houston

My go 2 for cars and service. The staff is always friendly. I bought my 2018 F-150 from Sterling McCall Ford and I get my oil changes there too.

Is it possible to give less than 1 star? I have tried to reach Rodney Crow, the GM, and he doesn't even take your calls or respond to your emails. AVOID Sterling McCall Ford ("SMF") at all costs. I just mailed letters to Ford Motor Company Board of Directors, along with Mr. Ford and Mr. Farley. I also sent a similar letter to the CEO of Group 1 Automotive, Mr. Hesterberg. Awaiting a response. I brought my truck in over the summer to have a few things fixed and while there, asked them to update my NAV system. It was time so why not, right? Big mistake. They allegedly updated the NAV system, and it has yet to work right since. I brought it in again to look at the NAV, and they said they didn’t see any problems. Since that time, my NAV has again been acting up and I have been trying to schedule an appointment to bring my truck in to get the NAV system corrected. I called the old service advisor I had used and apparently she is no longer with SMF. Then I emailed a Daphne, who said she would get back to me in a couple of days. After a week, I emailed Daphne again and no response. My NAV was working some days and other days, well, I have a few photos to show the proof. I called on a Friday (12/18/20), and asked to speak to the service manager. I was quite upset, but it was the holiday season so I thought that I would take it easy and try to maintain a calm demeanor. I was connected to a Tristan and was told he was the service manager. I told him my issue and he said we needed to schedule an appointment for his guys to look at it but that it wouldn’t be more than a couple of hours. I asked what or when was the best time and he said let’s do Tuesday morning, and that I needed to have my truck there by 8 am and it I would have it back by lunch. When I walked in at a couple minutes ahead of 8am, I asked for Tristan, who didn’t have any recollection of our phone call or appointment or even remember my name. I get that SMF services hundreds of vehicles a day, but if you set an appointment, I would think one would remember it. I was passed off to Sean Lopez at that point, and I will tell you, so far he is the only person with any sense at SMF. He did tell me that I should be able to pick up my truck at 4pm - Really? When I was told by Tristan the Service Manager it would be a couple of hours? Not only is that inconsiderate it is also disrespectful of my time. At least Mr. Lopez was trying. I get to SMF at 4 and about 5:15pm Sean pulled my truck up, I got in to check the NAV system and it did not register any of my touches on the touch screen. I immediately walked back towards the service advisor area and Sean met me at the door. I asked him to come and sit in the driver seat and see if he could get any touch commands to register. It was about a 15 second delay. My truck had not been turned off yet. After that, it appeared to be working just fine. I pulled out of the parking lot and that is when the NAV stopped working properly. I called Sean and left him a VM message. I do not believe your service department did anything with my NAV system. It did not do this until the update had happened. The only reason I have been using SMF is that I already paid to have the NAV system repaired. I have called and emailed and NOTHING! I got 1 phone call telling me that Rodney Crow had COVID and he was out of the office for no telling how long. No other attempts to do anything - SMF took my money and basically ran. It was a highway robbery because I paid for something and they haven't provided the service. STAY AWAY FROM STERLING MCCALL FORD!

The service representative David Nguyen was outstanding in customer service . Mr David Nguyen pays attention to detail and is very understanding of the issues and problems when speaking with customers. Thank you David

I take my truck to get serviced here because all my truck buying/maintenance history started here but not all reps have the same customer service mindset.

Worst dealership possible to get any kind of work done to your ca/truck advisors very rude. “Forgetful” on most aspects and the hospitality is an all time low. They do not care about their customers

Irvin was really helpful, answered my questions easily and solved the problem with my car. Efficient process and results in the repair of my car. I will highly recommend this place.

I just towed my truck out of there in worse shape than when I brought it to the service department at SterlingMcCall Ford on Southwest Freeway right before the holidays but not before paying over $5k for them to release my truck. I brought my 2013 Ford F-150 to diagnose an engine failure problem. Sean Lopez, the service advisor assured me the engine "was good" and gave me a parts list and quote and said my truck would be ready in "2-3 days". Turns out the negligent "technician" failed to properly diagnose the truck by failing to check the bottom of the engine before making repairs and BLEW THE MOTOR while test driving it. Instead of accepting responsibility for their mistake, they called to sell an engine. I decided to meet In person with Calvin Miller, the Service Director, who accepted fault and acted like he genuinely wanted to help me. After I didn’t hear back I call him and find out he left on vacation soon after our meeting “until next week”. I turned to Rodney Crow, the General Manager for help. He doesn't care that the failure to check the bottom half of the engine is their fault and expected me to pay for repairs and labor not needed in order to release my truck. The icing on the cake was they couldn’t even assemble the engine correctly. Not only did they blow my engine out they also left the fuel line UNHOOKED and gasoline was pouring out of the motor!! Stay away from this place. You think just because they are a “Ford” dealer they are ethical, knowledgeable, honest and qualified? Look elsewhere.

the experience was great overall, easy to set up , wonderful service advisor his name is David ask you him if great personal service is what you want . My vehicle was ready on time as promised.

The process of buying a new truck left me less than satisfied. I believe that I should have felt super happy to drive out with my new F 150 but I did not. The salesman Ahmed was fine it was the process that left me feeling less than trusting. To many things to list here.
