Best Truck buying Experience
Mark Christopher GMC is an amazing Auto dealership. No sales pressure and terrible prices. Johnathon Villa was an outstanding salesman that helped us get a 2022 Canyon Elevation. He took extra steps to help us find the perfect truck for us. We drove over an hour. And so glad we did. Highly recommend. And I want to say thanks again to Johnathon for making the experience great.
I love my ST all except for seating.
I love my ST all except for seating. I’m just not a fan of European style seating soo we had an upholstery shop up grade them. Sooo much fun to drive! Great gas mileage considering I’m a lead foot. And when needed you can put a full 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back.

Helpful Honda Dealer
MAZEN MAGIC helped me with a Honda vehicle, and I appreciate his assistance. Norm Reeves Honda in Cerritos is my spot for a Honda vehicle, and I’d recommend MAZEN. He was able to answer all questions I had.

Hassle free experience when I went into get an oil change
Hassle free experience when I went into get an oil change with the help of Branden. Upon completion of service, I received an easy to read report outlining the results of inspection. Service department was very professional and helpful.

I often drive to the Michigan upper pennisula in the winter. This SUV has never disappointed me. One time I was driving up to Sault Ste Marie early in the morning. The road was slippery with blowing snow. The outside air temp was MINUS 41. i was alone with hardly ever seeing another vehicle. I kept thinking "trust this vehicle" because my life literally depended on it. I had no problems. And everything was on high - the defroster, rear defrost, heated steering wheel, heated seat, radio and keeping my phone charger plugged in. And in case you wonder why I would venture out in these conditions - I was called for jury duty and made it on time !! It has also gotten me out of deep snow.

Excellent Teck!
just want to let "Nick" in Electrical Tech dept Great Job!!!., Thanks! for finding the electrical problem with our 2014 Accent, and because of all the great service and help we received, we will keep coming back to Puente Hills Service. And also"Micah" for being on top of things and keeping me informed of my vehicle.
Explorer GREAT design!
The ford explorer is an outstanding suv. The new design in 2020 is stylish and the rear wheel drive/4 wheel drive option is state of the art. The ecoboost engines are economical and extremely powerful. Ford dealers are everywhere! Ford parts are common and easy to obtain! I looked at the competitors. Front wheel drive is not suitable for trucks in my opinion. The handling of a rear wheel drive vehicle is outstanding. I actually have a 2022 platinum with the 3.0 v6 and this 2021 base with the 2.3 4 cylinder. Happy with each!!!

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!
GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! IBROUGHT MY CAR IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. ZEKE ASSISTED ME. HE PROVIDED THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE SOME VITAL DECISIONS TO MAKE WITH WHAT I PLAN TO DO WITH MY CAR. THANK YOU FOR WASHING MY CAR BEFORE RETURNING TO ME. THAT WAS AWESOME AND UNEXPECTED! EDGAR IS ALWAYS SMILING AND SO FRIENDLY.
love the Ride
First time Explorer owner, had an Expedition that I loved but it was too high for my wife, so it went to our son. The Explorer Limited is lower, but still higher than a crossover or sedan which helps my visability. Love the electronics but concerned that they will have problems later on so I purchased a dealer extended warranty (bumper to bumper) that is 10 years 125,000 additional miles for piece of mind. Car drives like a dream, is VERY comfortable, has more than enough power even with the 4cyl (used to V8's). Gas mileage even with 4WD is great (23 city and almost 29 highway) not climbing hills. We will see how it does when we go north.

Everything went smoothly.
Everything went smoothly. I was shown the cars I was interested in, allowed to go in and see them thoroughly. All my questions were answered. I was shown features about the cars I was not necessarily familiar with. I test drove the car and once I selected the car I wanted, proceeded to purchase it and fill out the paperwork without any problems. The vehicle I chose is beautiful and drives well. I am very happy with the purchase of the car and the process to get it.

Great buying experience with Harrison @ villa Ford
Had a great buying experience today at Villa Ford. Our salesman Harrison Brown, provided excellent customer care and was a professional throughout the entire process. In fact, I must say that every person we came in contact with while at the dealership was very friendly and courteous. Thank you Villa Ford for making my F-250 Lariat purchase a positive experience! Additionally, everyone was observant of the Coronavirus PPE.

I wrote an earlier experience and I gave it a 1 point. Well the manager call and it changed everything. I tried removing my comment but it will not let me for some reason so I wanted to do an update. August 9, 2024 By Carlos from Pomona, CA Ford Chino Hills: I wanted to express my gratitude for your recent assistance in addressing the issues I encountered at Chino Hills Ford. Initially, my experience did not meet my expectations, but your proactive approach and dedication to resolving the situation made a significant difference. When you reached out and took the time to understand my concerns, it was clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority for your team. Your prompt actions and thoughtful solutions turned my experience from a challenging one into a highly positive one. I truly appreciate the extra effort you made to ensure all my needs were met and that everything was handled to my satisfaction. The improvements made have greatly enhanced my overall impression of Chino Hills Ford, and I am now very pleased with both the service and the outcome. I commend you and your team for the professionalism and commitment to resolving the situation effectively. Thank you once again for your exceptional support.
