I walked into this dealership multiple times to test drive different vehicles and I have to say my experience was wonderful when I stated that I’m not in the process of buying today I’m just evaluating drive different vehicles and I have to say my experience was wonderful when I stated that I’m not in the process of buying today I’m just evaluating different models to see what I like they respected my word and never pushed or pressured me to buy they never even brought up are you ready to buy now because they knew it wouldn’t do anything they let me do the test drives and they did my favorite thing which is the best thing a car dealership could do is they hand you your business card and see when you’re ready I hope you come back that is how it’s supposed to be done poorly run dealerships are the ones that high-pressure push push push and try and push you into submission of buying with her when you don’t and don’t respect a single thing you say this dealership did it the way you’re supposed to Highly recommend them More
Going through Kendall for our new truck this last year made buying a breeze! In, test drove three trucks, completed paperwork, and drove away in about 3.5 hours. Asonte was incredibly helpful and was in made buying a breeze! In, test drove three trucks, completed paperwork, and drove away in about 3.5 hours. Asonte was incredibly helpful and was instrumental in expediting the process. Every few weeks we received calls to ensure everything was still running smoothly. Thanks again guys! More

A MUST-READ REVIEW!!!! BEWARE OF KENDALL FORD OG ANCHORAGE!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! We bought a brand-new ford in May of 2019, it only had 35 miles on it. We had an auto start put on that October ANCHORAGE!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! We bought a brand-new ford in May of 2019, it only had 35 miles on it. We had an auto start put on that October and had the alignment checked due to it not driving correct. Well about a month passed and the truck started acting out again and driving all over the road. We then had the oil changed and a diagnostic report ran on the truck. We were told that it was out of align again and that the differential was leaking. So, we then tried to make an appointment with Kendall Ford for the truck. It took us 4 months to get an appointment. When we finally got into ford, we talked to them about what was going on with the truck. After a day they called us and told us the truck was in perfect shape and we picked it up (Friday). We called again right after getting it and told them something was wrong with this truck and the alignment. So that Monday we took the truck back to Kendall ford. After a few hours ford called us and told us that the truck was badly out of align and need cams to fix the alignment, which was an aftermarket add on part. We told them to order the cams. We were also informed that we would have to pay for the cams, even though it should be covered under the warranty, but since the truck was past the miles it wasn’t covered. If we hadn’t had to wait 4 months to get it ford it would have been covered. So, Kendall agreed to pay for the alignment after I went and talked to them and told them I was very disappointed (after they accused us of hitting something to get the truck that out of align). They paid for the cams and the front-end alignment. We were told they didn’t have time to look at the 4-wheel drive. We took the truck home and still noticed that the truck was still pulling to one side and not any better. Ford told us to bring it back and we did, they found nothing wrong, they told us to drive it for a while and see if it changes. They found nothing wrong with the 4-wheel drive (we don’t know if they even looked). The 4-wheel drive has been grinding and makes horrible noise and a new truck should not sound that way. Now since the cams have been on and its winter the turn radius on our truck is horrible, I can’t even park, it just doesn’t turn, and it locks up so you can’t turn. Well it’s been a few months and before I had time to call Kendall about the 4-wheel drive grinding and the turn radius on the truck, Tuesday, Dec 1,2020 I had an accident and messed up the whole front end. So, it’s at the body shop. This is where it gets sketchy and worrisome from what the body shop mechanic found. The body shop mechanic called my husband and told him all that was going on and all his findings. My husband called me, and I called the ford motor company in the lower 48. The guy I talked to said our truck only had a recall on the vehicle history. He emailed it to me, and I printed it out to take to ford. We drove to the body shop and talked to the mechanic. He asked us if the truck had any prior accidents. We told him we bought it brand new. We found out that: -the hood is not insulated - the hood is not painted, and neither is the fenders -the air box assembly has been taken off prior to the accident -the radiator has been taken out before -all these bolts look like have been tampered with prior to the accident Now I don’t know about you, but these don’t seem right to us. The mechanic said that none of these things should have been tampered with on a brand-new truck or vehicle. So, we got his notes and went to Kendall Ford. There we talked to Jeff Toth, the main guy at Kendall Ford (he’s from NY). We voiced our concerns and we talked. We got a report of all the things done to our truck by Kendall. This is what we were told by Jeff Toth: -I didn’t know truck hoods were supposed to be insulted (he had no clue) -he told us that sometimes they take things out of the truck to add new things or fix things (like the radiator, why would you take that out?? He didn’t know, no straight answer) -if they must remove or mess with things if its under a certain amount of money it doesn’t have to be reported to the vin # (the tampered bolts under our hood) -he told us that if Kendall pays for something on your truck (our cams for the alignment was paid for by Kendall) that they (Kendall) don’t have to report that to the vin # because Kendall paid for it. What? That can’t be correct, sounds fishy -he told us that they could look at our 4-wheel drive but that since we wrecked the truck, they cannot fix the alignment or mess with the cams to fix it - he told us that the people at the ford motor company have no idea what they are talking about and that their reports are wrong. Well after talking to Jeff Toth we still don’t have the answers to why out trucks bolts under the hood have been tampered with (that’s what the body shop mechanic said). We have no way of knowing what else is going on with our truck. If we can’t get the answers, we deserve we have no choice but to get a lawyer and try to figure things out. Don’t buy from Kendall Ford of Anchorage they are only out for the money and have no idea what’s going to with their vehicles. They are very shady. We got the run around for months on our alignment and it’s still not right. Please I urge you to go look somewhere else other than Kendall Ford. I’m not done yet! More
Worst customer service I ever received. Brought a 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat in March 2020. The truck navigation system came with a 2016 navigation map. When I asked about an update, was told that I have to Ford Ranger Lariat in March 2020. The truck navigation system came with a 2016 navigation map. When I asked about an update, was told that I have to buy the update. Took it also for a diagnostic test because of a notification and was told would take 3 days and no loaners provided. When Carl Worthington had the dealership the service was great. Kendall ruin it. No longer a customer. UPDATE Tried several times to contact the person, Mark, that they added to the comment and never was able to establish contact More
I just had my second experience with their service department and it is beyond frustrating. Made an appointment long in advance. Dropped it off the night before and I was traveling for 3 days so they department and it is beyond frustrating. Made an appointment long in advance. Dropped it off the night before and I was traveling for 3 days so they had plenty of time to do a service. They said they would call when they got it in the shop. No call on Friday. I called and in the end picked it up and they never even looked at it. I have to take it back again later. I will never buy another Ford if this is the dealer I'm stuck with. More
As my first time ever writing a review, I can honestly say that I had an outstanding experience at Kendall Ford. Purchasing a new vehicle was quick and simple. The sale rep I had was extremely helpful in say that I had an outstanding experience at Kendall Ford. Purchasing a new vehicle was quick and simple.

Very poor Service The Service is Horrible here. Do not do business with these people. I got an appointment 3 months from the date I called because they said they were b The Service is Horrible here. Do not do business with these people. I got an appointment 3 months from the date I called because they said they were backed up which I can understand with the current situation. However, when it was finally my appointment day, I dropped off my car. ( Lincoln MKX). It was for a regular service and to check for minor seat issues and sealing issue. Chris, the service advisor told me it would take them 2 days to finish the work. 3 days later, I called to check the status after not receiving a call from them. He told me that they had not even looked at my car, so it was just sitting in their bay collecting dust while I was struggling to get around to work for those 3 days. Then he tells me that he will call me on Monday and promised to get my car in on Tuesday ( Today ). It's 5:00 pm and I have not heard from him since last Friday. They are probably ignoring me because it was my last complimentary Service since the car purchase. I will gladly go else where and Pay for service then to deal with these guys again. Very Disappointed. AGAIN, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS DEALERSHIP. More
Extensive/expensive service work scheduled for F-150. After the service techs had looked at it, I didn’t receive an update or final estimate review of work needed from my Service Advisor until I had left After the service techs had looked at it, I didn’t receive an update or final estimate review of work needed from my Service Advisor until I had left multiple messages for him to return my call. I then contacted the service dept manager after another couple days of hearing nothing. It is now over a week past the projected completion of work and over two weeks after I had dropped it off for them to begin work and over a month after my scheduled service appointment. The service manager has given me updates but has given me no less than (6) delay reports and new projected completion timelines. She/they have not met a single one. I will not be returning for any parts or service from this Anchorage Ford dealership. I get better service off of eBay and Amazon and will drive to Wasilla if any future work if needed from a dealer mechanic. Their business model would even be unacceptable for them if they had service needing done. Worst service and management in my 54 years. More
