Experience was great from first visit to the return visit when we bought the car. No pressure just assistance when needed. Dylan was very pleasant and informative. Shawn did a great job with the finance experience as well.

Mossy FordReviews
Mossy Ford review
I live in Las Vegas and I was headed to Mission Bay for a summer trip, as I drove through Victorville my ac stopped working. Instead of blowing nice cool air it was blowing normal warm air. I watched the temperate climb from 91 degrees to 99 degrees. My daughter and I sat in the car melting, trying to cool ourselves down as much as we could with cold drinks and the windows down. I knew trying to find a place to help was going to be a battle, I own a hybrid and most shops won't go near my car because of the battery not to mention I was worried I would luck out of any warranty since I was on vacation. I could not look up shops while driving since I was on the only adult in the car and so I drove helplessly to my destination, as I came close to Mission Bay I saw Mossy Ford. I called them up and they said 3-4 days to diagnose the issue....ok it is what it is and I booked the appointment for the next morning. (nothing like having to do an errand while on vacation, am I right?) Anyway 7:30am comes around and I roll up to Mossy Ford and I meet with Tiffany, we go over what is happening with my car and I plead with her to help me out because we will be headed back to Vegas and there was a heatwave coming, 117 degrees, yes read that one more time, 117 degrees waiting for me and dear lord I don't think we would have survived. I am dead serious, those temps kill people and over heating in the car is a real problem. Tiffany said the wait was 5-7 days but let me see what the manager can do. YOU ALL I said some PRAYERS....nobody want to drive in 117 degrees with NO AC omg PLEASE PLEASE. Las Vegas don't cool down at night so it is not like you can just drive at night to make it work...YOU GUYS she came back and said they would diagnose THAT DAY. True to her word, they found the issue, they ordered parts and had them THE NEXT DAY. They worked on my car and I got it back JUST IN TIME before departing. AND YES PEOPLE the AC WORKS. OMG THIS dealership has a heart....this manager and Tiffany deserve RAISES, gold medals, vacations...I mean the world. I drove away with AC!!! We are not dead, we are alive, not in the hospital. In a cruel world where most places are money hungry and don't care about anybody...this places CARES. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Barely made into Oceanside from AZ with engine problems, spoke with Kal Chatham in Service and he did an excellent job of getting my truck in, diagnosed and informed of the problem. Fixed in one day, picked up the morning afterward and made the return to AZ with family aboard. Thanks Kal
2023 Ford Explorer review
Have only had vehicle for 3 weeks but really like it. I’ve had F150’s for the past 12 years and thought I’d miss my truck, but I’m really enjoying this explorer. It’s more comfortable and fun to drive and the gas mileage is better.

2023 Ford Explorer review
This is the first explorer that I have owned in nearly 30 years. I am coming from a ram 1500. I am surprised how comfortable this explorer is I’m really enjoying the gas mileage between 21 to 23 in town. I have not taken a trip on the highway yet.

I was treated very well, I’ve not bought anything as of yet. Ms Lorie wonderful will consider giving her my business.
2023 Ford Explorer review
Quiet, comfortable and powerful car. I have the twin turbo that puts out 400 hp. General gas mileage is 19-20 city and 24-25 highway. The only thing that I would change on this vehicle is that I would like to be able to turn off some of the automatic operations on a semi-permanent basis.

Apple play used to connect but no longer does. Didn’t notice passenger door wasn’t installed properly until I took a road trip and the noise!!! Drivers side arm rest squeaks as though it’s about to come apart. Very noisy engine over 40 mph.

I had the privilege of working with both Vinny and Blake Williamson in the final stages of my Bronco Sport lease and it was seamless and fast. Blake went above and beyond to locate the color of Bronco I desired and had it washed and ready for me to test drive. He carefully reviewed the features of the car and how to use the vehicle and its technology. The finance process was extremely fast, yet thorough. The dealership was clean and well-maintained and all staff were friendly and very accommodating. I highly recommend this dealership when shopping for a Ford of your choice.

DCH Honda of Temecula review
I recently purchased a 2023 Accord EX and had assistance from Martin and Evan. Both of them were extremely helpful and negotiating the price was painless. I've seen a few negative reviews about bait-n-switch tactics and pressure on purchasing extended warranties. DO YOUR HOMEWORK. The ability to negotiate is a powerful tool and both Martin and Evan were very respectful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this dealership and will definitely continue doing business with them in the future!
