Intake was efficient, friendly and helpful.
Intake was efficient, friendly and helpful. Calling for an update - staff was accessible. Diagnostic information was easy to understand.
Highly recommend buying a used 2018 Explorer
This is my fourth Explorer. I decided in 2018 to order the top-of-the-line Platinum. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles for a person that wants the luxury of one of Fords top models. It has Platinum leather seats that are very comfortable. If you can find today, buy it. It has the 3.5L V6 that has great power on acceleration. You can only buy a V6 now on the 2025 Explorer ST which is a 3.0L. The cost is around $60,000 Loaded.

Great experience.
Great experience. Bought multiple cars from ZAG MOTORS. I recommend who ever looking for quality car.
3rd row seat folding mechanism
Love this car overall but I have only one complaint. I was putting some boxes in the rear of the car and one of the boxes must have touched the the rear seat folding mechanism as all of a sudden it tried to unfold the seats. If my grandchildren had been sitting there strapped in I hate to think what may have happened!! Wish you had coverage over the mechanism so this wouldn’t happen.

Great experience and I love my truck!
Great experience and I love my truck! I have been looking for MONTHS for a nice LBZ, it has been a great truck for over a year, Levi Hamilton was great with assisting me and the rest of the staff made it a smooth process.
My dream car
This is my 4th Ford Explorer over the last 20 years and I am very happy. Every time I upgrade is nicer in every aspect. I am glad that after so many people telling me to just go to another style and company, I made the right decision.

If you are tired of dealing with car dealers with hidden
If you are tired of dealing with car dealers with hidden fees and haggling with price afterwards, then come here. They have an amazing selection of car, competitive prices, an a staff that will take care you. I recently bought a Model Y from them. REAL DEAL is JUST the bomb!!! This was literally the easiest and most pleasurable experience I have ever had buying a car! I looked at the reviews (as you are doing now) and I read so many great write-ups about them. I called and asked for him specifically; Everything went smoothly from start to finish. I’m a tough critic, and they exceeded my expectations. If you are shopping for a car, I highly recommend shopping with them . You will be glad you did.
Very good car, durable and trustworthy
Love the inside room, 3rd row seat and the fact that the 2nd and 3rd row can be collapsed. Love the rear camera and all of the functions of being able to bring my phone apps up on the screen. So good for our very busy, on the go lifestyle

I recently purchased a 2023 Ford F-150, and my experience
I recently purchased a 2023 Ford F-150, and my experience has been incredible so far. After driving it for about 2,000 miles, I am very pleased with my decision. Although I wasn't fully organized that day with my documents and payment method, the team at Pierre Ford of Lynwood made the buying process easy, fair, and seamless. I also considered refinancing my loan with my bank to see if I could secure a better interest rate. However, I found that the terms were quite similar to what I originally had, so I decided to stick with my initial financing since there wasn't much difference. A little research on the vehicle I bought confirmed that I got a great deal, in my opinion. Pierre Ford of Lynwood was more than fair when it came to their financing and vehicle pricing. I want to give a shout-out to Carlos and Sergio, who helped me throughout the entire process. I also want to thank Steve, the finance manager, who assisted me with my financing and explained my warranty options. Lastly, I appreciate the woman who appraised my trade-in. Thank you all for helping me purchase my first truck! -John

We worked with Serjio Verduzco at Blade Chevrolet and
We worked with Serjio Verduzco at Blade Chevrolet and purchased a 2025 Equinox. I owned an Outback and was looking for a more comfortable car. Serjio was extremely helpful and low pressure in approach. He worked with me on pricing until we had a deal both of us were comfortable with. He was very accessible, knowledgeable and inspired confidence that I had made the right decision. At signing, Steve was also easy to work with and accommodating. I highly recommend Serjio Verduzco and Blade Chevrolet for your next auto purchase. And I love my Equinox!
