I am certain that for the most part 5 Star is a wonderful dealership... as long as everything goes smooth. Unfortunately, my transaction was and has been anything but smooth. First, 5 Start stated I was full dealership... as long as everything goes smooth. Unfortunately, my transaction was and has been anything but smooth. First, 5 Start stated I was fully qualified to purchase, so I went to the lot to fill out all paperwork and provide all documents as requested. Then there was a problem with the vehicle like a leaking radiator... well... OK. Then it took over a week to get one in. This is after I gave them a down payment of $2000. Then I find out they will deliver the truck in a couple days. Total from application to delivery was 15 days. Then I find out the original lender turned down the deal because I had started a new job, but credit rating was fine. Resigned all paperwork. Well, 5 Star in all their brilliance, filed the original lender as a lien holder... massive MESS!! Sales manager, Brian Huth was contacted numerous times only to be forwarded to finance (who created the mess and the sales person who knew nothing about what was going on... so he says. ) Interest rate was given to close deal was quite high.. but I really wanted the truck so I went through with it. I then contacted different lenders other than those referred by 5 Star and received an approval for numerous points below the quoted interest rate by 5 Star Ford. Now 6 Weeks later after the new approval, I now find out that 5 Star filed the lien with a different company other than that in the funding package and I cannot pay off the loan with the new lender until 5 Star gets the title back that they mis filled and then get it refiled with their approved lender so then I can get the loan paid off through the new lender at a much lower interest rate. Don't call sales manager for help... won't return calls or do anything to solve your problem but refer to others who don't get anything solved. Don't trust finance referrals... get your own financing before you go to the dealer.. they will mark up the interest rate numerous percentage points above where you should be so they make a higher profit. Maybe this will get worked out... however. after contacting the title department, and others, and even sending an email to the General Sales manager with no response.. after 4 months... it still is not all resolved. I keep getting promises from 5 Star but... nothing ever seems to be in any effort to resolve the issues. So, far we are 4 months since purchasing and counting!! I give this a 2 Star in rating only because they had the vehicle, I wanted and it is in wonderful condition... though the services level at this point should be about minus 4! Caveat emptor!! Let the buyer beware!!! More

I needed to downsize my vehicle due to a financial crunch I was experiencing. At the same time, I still owed a sizable amount on my then current car. I also needed to fell like I was getting a good deal and I was experiencing. At the same time, I still owed a sizable amount on my then current car. I also needed to fell like I was getting a good deal and getting all the optional equipment that I could. I'm delighted to say that Five Star Ford of Dallas met all of these requirements. And, believe me, it took quite a bit of negotiation to have this be the case. From the beginning they also made me feel like a valued three-time repeat buyer. Highly recommended dealer. More

Was an amazing experience from start to finish! Qi found several trucks online and inquired about them there first. The communication was prompt and gave me exactly what I needed. Joe Crawford reac Qi found several trucks online and inquired about them there first. The communication was prompt and gave me exactly what I needed. Joe Crawford reached out to me after my initial inquiry and continued to give me all the help I needed. When we arrived at the dealership after a 4 hour trip, Joe and team where these and ready to show me the trucks I was interested in. He was full of knowledge on all the different options available and pros and cons of each. Ultimately, we decided to move forward in purchasing one of the trucks. The process from that point to the point we left the dealership in my new truck was less than an hour. The five star ford process was seamless and streamlined but also very personal. Amazing experience and product purchased from an awesome team! More
