Worst service department. My car has been sitting at this dealership for six days for a warranty repair which to them is not a priority. They do not provide with a loaner or My car has been sitting at this dealership for six days for a warranty repair which to them is not a priority. They do not provide with a loaner or rental until they supposedly diagnose the problem which could take several days or weeks, apparently. Do yourself a favor and take your car somewhere else. I heard blue bonnet ford is way better. You have been warned More
Absolute worst service department ever! Made appointment for service, back-up camera not working. Brought in the car and they said it would be 7-10 days the electric department of service Made appointment for service, back-up camera not working. Brought in the car and they said it would be 7-10 days the electric department of service. They wanted me to leave my perfectly drivable car just sitting on their lot for 5-7 days waiting to be diagnosed! This is my third time going to Northside, and each time has been a total disaster. Never again. More

He walked Accessories Department. I had his department install a suspension lift on my new 2022 F 150 Ford Truck along with new tires and wheels.. He walked me thru the tire/wheel/lift selection. Sam had the truck ready in one day. Great service and he is very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of lift selection and installation. Sam was very polite, informative and professional during the entire process. The truck came out great. I receive a lot of complements on it, and the ride quality is fantastic. More
My first bad experience with Northside Ford happened when my insurance company suggested I use their repair facility to fix my car. Some items were stolen out of my car and the body repairs started to come u my insurance company suggested I use their repair facility to fix my car. Some items were stolen out of my car and the body repairs started to come undone while I was driving. Northside sent someone out to my office to finish the repair work while I waited. I decided then to never go to Northside Ford again. However, fate, and COVID shortages got in the way of my plans to stay far away from Northside Ford. Recently my wife's Ford Edge was totaled in a wreck and because of a vehicle shortage the only place we could find a car was at Northside Ford. When buying the car I expressed my concerns with their service from back in the day, and the sales person convinced us if we ever had trouble with service they would take care of it. With the assurance of improved service in the future we bought the car from Northside Ford and paid for the extra warranty coverage. Then my wife's new car was recalled for some reason. Additionally, it had a burning smell coming from the engine through the air vents. This was also something we experienced with the Ford Edge, but the Edge got wrecked before we could take it in to get it fixed. When we turned my wife's new car in for service she asked them to check into the strange burning smell . When the recall service was complete they said they could not find the source of the burning smell and asked for us to test drive it with them. This was strange to me because there were more than a few complaints about a burning smell associated with these cars and I thought, how could the Northside Ford service department not know about this issue and what possible issues could cause the smell? When my wife test drove it with George, (the service manager/representative?) he said he could smell it and knew what the cause was. He then told her it was just a design problem, said it could not be fixed, and sent her home. I went to Northside to follow up. While there George told me a different story. He said it could me the issue he told my wife about, but that it could also be other problems causing the smell. However, he said, his service department could not locate the source of the problem. I asked him if it could be either a leak of some sort, an electrical problem, a bad blower, etc. He agreed it could be one of those problems but they could not find out if any of those were an issue. I asked George for the details on the work they did when they looked to find the source of the smell. George, said he could not find it and would not give me the details I asked for. I asked him to put what he was telling me in writing. He said he would check with his manager and see what he could give me. George kept trying to tell me that is just how the car is. As expected, George never got back with me to give me anything in writing about the work they did to locate the trouble, or his "diagnosis" of "that is just how the car is". I took the car in to a different facility and they said there is definitely an electrical burning smell, but we have to set up an appointment to get the warranty work done. We are waiting for the appointment to find out. The service at Northside Ford is terrible. I would recommend no one buy their cars from Northside Ford and avoid taking their cars to the Northside Ford service center for any kind of repairs. More
I had to take my 2021 Ford F-150 in for a a couple recalls, a non recall issue, and its first service. While I had to leave it for 3 business days to get everything done, I was traveling for work so recalls, a non recall issue, and its first service. While I had to leave it for 3 business days to get everything done, I was traveling for work so it all lined up and wasn’t an issue for me. That said would always be preferable to just book an actual appointment and drop off but that is sort of the way it goes. My service Manager, Chase N., called every morning with a spot on update and I never felt in the dark or they were ghosting me. When I picked up I was pleased that everything was done to success. What impressed me was the fact they wrapped the steering wheel in plastic and had many protections in place leaving the truck as clean as I dropped off. Overall I am very happy after reading all the HORROR stories with virtually all dealerships these days…Great job Northside. More
This dealership rates good in sales service because the customer is getting a new vehicle and that is relatively easy. When is comes to Service - Forget It! This is not an employee problem, but a dealer p customer is getting a new vehicle and that is relatively easy. When is comes to Service - Forget It! This is not an employee problem, but a dealer problem. I had a recall on my truck, I took it in just the notice said. Service told me I needed to leave my truck for 3 to 4 days just to see if it qualified for the recall, then they would order parts and put in line for repairs. They had 90 cars in for electrical. It took the one week to even look at it. I could not pick up my truck and bring it back, as I would loose my place in line. This is not just due to the COVID, even though it is worse now. Northside Ford has always made it hard to bring a vehicle for recalls/repairs. When you take your vehicle in, your told how much it will be if not covered under a warranty or recall. Which is an unrealistic amount. NS Ford charges $140 to just plug in the tool that reads the check engine light. Auto Zone will do this for free. I agree with the others, Northside Ford customer service is the worst! More
