Jodie is a great service advisor, and their mechanics are
Jodie is a great service advisor, and their mechanics are definitely improving... they just take FOREVER! They held my vehicle a week before it was looked at. So...it generally takes weeks to get your vehicle back from here. When you make an appointment, it's not an appointment for them to look at your vehicle that day, it's just an appointment for them to hold your vehicle for days before they do anything with it... leaving you without a vehicle. That needs to change. Otherwise, this is THE ONLY DEALERSHIP in the entire DFW metroplex that can actually fix a vehicle. I'm assuming that's why they are so busy. Overall, I got the vehicle back and repaired properly this time, so we are making tremendous progress.

Same old car dealer tricks
Update, I was quickly contacted by the GM who promised to make good on the car by either getting rid of the smell or take the car back.

Best car buying road trip ever!
From the very start of buying a vehicle with Ennis Ford their salesman (Greg Wilburn) was very helpful, honest and responsive! I was looking to buy a car from 2,200 miles away and Greg and his support team made the entire process easy! Greg sent me thorough videos and answered all my questions! They gave me a fair trade for my truck and got me on the road back to Seattle as quickly as they could. Thank you for making my trip and car buying experience absolutely fantastic! You are the best!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about North
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about North Central Ford! After a frustrating experience with another shop, they stepped in and completely made things right, getting my car back in perfect shape. Seth went above and beyond—he was patient, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure I was taken care of every step of the way. Gary was amazing too, making the whole process smooth and easy. They even provided a loaner car for six weeks, which was such a huge help. I truly felt valued and supported, and I’m so grateful for the outstanding service. Thank you, Seth and Gary, for turning a stressful situation into such a positive experience!

I had an excellent experience servicing my Ford Edge.
I had an excellent experience servicing my Ford Edge. From the moment I arrived, the team was professional, welcoming, and highly attentive. Everything was handled efficiently, and the communication throughout the process was clear and transparent. They took the time to explain the work being done, provided accurate timelines, and delivered exactly as promised. The vehicle was returned in great condition, and you can clearly see they care about both the technical quality and the customer experience. It?s not easy to find service teams that combine professionalism, expertise, and genuine customer care, but this team absolutely delivered. I truly appreciate the level of service and will definitely return for future maintenance. Highly recommended.
