I went in to get a replacement key for my car and they had me sorted out within an hour minutes give or take. Don’t get me wrong wait times and stuff can vary but for the most part it was decently fast. I also loved that they had good customer service, and I’d 100% recommend looking into them as I will be returning there for help whenever I run into future issues.

My first review was about the service here. This update is for the sales team. Jesse was extremely caring, listened to my wants and needs and let me make decisions without pressure. Then Chris worked incredibly hard to get me the pricing and financing needed to make this work. I’m very impressed with how hard they worked for me and we are now the proud owners of a new 2020 Ford Explorer. Beautiful vehicle!!! —————————— My service writer, Gary Kohn, did a great job! He listened to my needs as far as time scheduling and kept me advised throughout the repair, knowing I needed to get to an appointment. He made sure the car was ready in enough time for me to make the appointment. Thanks, Gary!

The service I requested was completed far more quickly than I had expected. I was also shopping for a tire to replace a damaged one on my truck and was given a written quote with a best price guarantee.

Stephen was very understanding of my needs and worked really hard to get me the truck I wanted. The entire experience from beginning to end was extremely informative, I would very much recommend Northside Ford in the future to anyone looking for a new car/truck.

I recently needed a part installed after calling many local chains that were not able to help and other local Ford dealers that also declined, North Side Ford was able to assist. The tech that I spoke with wasn't familiar with the part, he scheduled an appointment for the next day so he could research and familiarize himself to assist me. I was also glad he educated me on the process of installing the part and how it functioned. This tech went Above and beyond. Thank you George W. - Charles B.

Nice people and wonderful service at Northside Ford. This is our second vehicle to buy at Northside Ford and we will return. Charles Young was very helpful and easy to work with. He is dependable and I know if we have questions or concerns he will take care of us. It is important to him we are happy. What a great sales person he is!!!

My experience at the dealership was excellent from the time I walked in to the time that I drove off the lot it was a very enjoyable and professional from the salesman to the finance officer an within a very short time.

I bought a new Ford F-150 Limited from Ronnie Mitchell. Ronnie was easy going and made me and my wife feel welcome. He also made sure the vehicle was ready to see when I came in to take a second look. Very accommodating and knowledgeable. It would be a pleasure to work with Ronnie again.

I live 5 hours away from this dealership and found the PERFECT truck online for a fantastic price. I was hesitant to call and try to conduct business over the phone but I'm very happy I did. My sales person was Kevin Seibel and he was simply fantastic. He returned all my phone calls quickly and answered my multiple text messages promptly. He was very accommodating and found out the information I needed to make the transaction as easy as possible. When we first arrived at the dealership we were greeted by the Internet/Fleet Manager, Charles Williams. Charles was fantastic to talk with and extremely friendly. Trey Engle, the Finance Director shopped around and found me a MUCH lower rate than what Ford initially offered. This actually saved me close to $1k in finance charges. Carlos, in the detail area, came out and inspected the truck one last time before we left. Everyone we interacted with at the dealership was great, except the two parts counter guys inside the dealership. They were clearly annoyed just by my presence. If you're looking for a used vehicle, find Kevin, he was great!!! Overall, a wonderful and painless experience and I would not hesitate to do business here again.

Bought a F250 from Ronnie Mitchell end of August and it was pleasant experience. Ronnie was a helpful salesperson and knowledgeable about the product. i would definitely buy another vehicle from him.

Pleasant experience overall. We bought a Explorer and Jason was 5 stars. The only issue I had was the car being detailed properly. I would like to see a QC position created after it is cleaned and detailed to ensure customers get a brand new car that is clean. Again Jason is the best salesperson I have worked with in 5 car purchases.

Purchased the best truck I've ever owned from Northside back in February 2013 was by far the best experience I've ever had. Fast Foward to today still in the same great truck thinking Im wanting to trade it in for a new car to save some fuel on my upcoming long commute. First sales lady approached us, didn't bother to ask my name. Or what I'm looking for. The proceeds to answer my buddies question then presents him a card and walks away. Meanwhile I'M still shopping for a new car. 20 minutes later a new salesman walks up and asks if I needed help. I said yes and explain that our sales lady took off and never came back. To my surprise he rebuttals with "ohh I can't its against the rules, but I will go get her for you." 15 minutes later no salesman to no avail. I decided I'm going to move on to another Ford dealer, But before I do I'm gonna give them a piece of my mind. In the process a very nice salesman approached my by the name of General. Hes promising a better experience so long as I stay and give him a chance to earn my business. I spent 2 hours with the gentleman and hes great, But of course fast approached the dreaded numbers talk. I nicely explained to General that the lowest amount I will expect on my trade is $14,300 which is even below NADA rough trade in value. (Mind you my truck far from in rough condition but I was hoping to make a deal) anyways General comes back and its $10,500. I say "General come on man, what'd I just say..so he leaves and comes back with $11,500. I once again say no. And ask for my keys. He then tries to switch me on a different car if he can get the $14,300 I demanded. So I reluctantly agree and ask to see the other car while he worked to get more money for my trade. 30 minutes later he comes back at me with $12,500. So I tried to leave. Then next thing you know here comes the pompous sales manager to ultimately try and feed me some crap about my number not being possible and that my truck isn't desirable as its Diesel. Long story short I called the lowballing sales manager a xxxxxxxxx and left. Don't do business with these crooks. At best they will smile and shake your hand while they bend you over. And at worst they will tell you your current vehicle is worthless as they refuse to dip in to their $8,000 profit they intend to make on YOUR trade.

Every employee we interacted with was top notch in terms of knowledge, courtesy, professionalism and patience. This is the third car we bought from them and we cannot say enough praise about this dealership, not to mention, the awesome Fusion Hybrid, one of the best and most reliable cars in the market.

Among the many car dealerships that I have visited, I was pleasantly surprised to find a group of friendly, professional car dealers. They made the whole ordeal of buying a car quick, easy and painless.

Northside Ford was a major dealership we were skeptical to go into at first, but they proved us wrong. They were willing to go above and beyond to find a vehicle that best for our family needs. Ronnie Mitchell was our car salesman and he was not pushy or forceful with any decision. He always made sure to ask his manager before giving us the vital answers we need when purchasing a vehicle. We love our new 2017 for explorer and wouldn't want any other vehicle.

Expanding upon the efficiency and professionalism experienced; I cannot express the impressiveness Ramiro exemplified. Whether he was sprinting from one end of the dealership to the other or consistently conducting his contemporaneous job duties, Ramiro provided an efficacious experience. I am often confronted by inquisitive people who inevitably prompt an answer to explain my rationale for traveling over 1,600 miles for a vehicle, but my justification at no time ever strays from the rectitude experienced when dealing with Ramiro. Had NS Ford not possessed such a genuinely respectful and competent salesman, my business would've been taken abroad. I will continue to refer any and all who find themselves in a situation to acquire a new vehicle to Ramiro Sepulveda.

We felt no "hard sell" pressure when we got to the lot. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Selection of cars on the lot was excellent.

This was by far the worst car buying experience I have ever been through. I went to Northside Ford to look at and possibly purchase a 2016 Mustang with an internet price of $43,397, they first came at me with a price of $47,075, what happened to the internet price? After saying no, and telling them that it's way over the asking price on their website they came back with $44,500. It was extremely insulting and I do believe they were trying to take advantage of a disabled vet. They also offered me the lowest blue book price for my Jeep Wrangler which is in near perfect condition except for a cracked windshield. Please look out for yourself when you go to this dealership and don't allow them to take advantage of you like they tried to do to me.

Ronnie was the first salesman I dealt with, and after explaining to him how I wasn't satisfied with my previous experience at northside ford, he went above and beyond to get me the vehicle I wanted. That is why, I am now a ford costumer for life. My previous car was a ford and it was a great car don't get me wrong, but I finally found the car that makes me smile every time the engine turns. I also write a blog so be ready for some great reviews!! Regards,Kevin

Paul K. helped locate the right car for us, guided us through the process w /understanding & friendly professionalism. Always listened to our questions & provided detailed answers, taking time w/o rushing us. Dealership had good sale prices and vehicle inventory. Finance person, Trey, very efficient, smoothly handling the paperwork and loan info. One reason for coming to Northside Ford was the excellent service dept, which we have used for several years.

I have been looking for a great deal on a truck for the last two months. Each dealership I went too was way too pushy and said that I could not find a vetter deal anywhere else. I contacted North side Ford and spoke with Ronnie. Not only did he find the exact truck I wanted, he was also able to get me a price that beat every other dealer by a long shot. Zero pressure and fantastic service. By far the best buying experience I have ever encountered.

My truck was taken to their collision repair department back in May. It was there for more than 2 months, where no communication from my point of contact by the name of Mike Himple (not Anderson) was given to me on the status of my vehicle and I had to continuously had to call in to get a status. And everytime I would receive the same status of "Your car is in the body shop being painted, it should be ready in the next two days". During that time while it was being serviced, my rental car from Enterprise exceeded my days allowed by my insurance because the collision center had taken so long. So instead of the collision center walking over to the rental car office, which I mind you, is in the SAME BUIDLING as the collision center, I was charged on my credit card $300. I had to call the collision center again and have them go over there and communicate with them that they would be covering the cost. I shouldn't have to do that due to the fact its their job to take care of their customers. I was finally working with Rob Straum the manager of the collision center who was quite helpful and he began expediting the process. Once I finally received my truck two and half months later, I noticed that my truck pulled to the right side where the point of impact was at. I'd truly hope that they would have test drove my vehicle to make sure. So I had to take time out of my work schedule and drop my truck off once again. Yes, they did bring it back to me at my office by one of their drivers and with him driving it, you'd really think they would see that it still was pulling to the right again, but no. I noticed it for a second time where this was not done correctly. So I had them re pick up my vehicle and fix it. Finally it was done correctly. I understand that things get busy in different types of businesses. They had a recent hail damage surge of vehicles, but it shouldn't take over 3 months to FINALLY get my truck working completely right. And it'd be one thing if I didn't have to pay anything. I had to pay my 500 dollar deductible as well. I am highly dissatisfied with this location. I even spoke to a good family friend who is a GM for Anicra Ford in Floresville by the name of Andy xxxxx, who apologized on their behalf and he pointed me in the right direction.

I have purchased several cars in the past 30 years and this was the best. The selection and the detail that they go through to make it so is incredible. I have purchased 2 vehicles from them and I would recommend them to everyone who is looking for a car.

My truck had a manufacture defect- the window sealant was not completely sealed allowing water damage to occur. I took my vehicle into Northside ford on San Pedro ave in San Antonio, Tx. It was complete run around and contradicting by Richard, Michael and Mike in Service. I hope no one has to deal with this team specifically. But that is not the point of this review.In an attempt to correct/ rectify the situation with my truck; Doug Walls (Detail Manager) and Alex Contes (detailing technician) did an amazing job! Doug walked my husband and i through the entire detailing process and explained everything he would be doing from beginning to end. He was very prompt and accurate on his time frame. He was HONEST- much appreciated from previous bad/ contradicting service. Then Alex surpassed our expectations with his remarkable work. He not only cleaned our vehicle damage from the manufacture defect but he did additional detailing inside and out. It literally looks and smells like a brand new vehicle. He was very polite and made us feel very comfortable. I definitely recommend Doug and Alex for any and all detailing needs. I will definitely be taking my three vehicles to them for detailing. Very high quality work!!!

This is the best car buying experience I had. Kenny and all the others I worked with were very helpful and very friendly. We we're really taken care of from the moment we arrived until the moment we left with our beautiful new car. All of them helped us get the best deal we could possibly get. I will definitely recommend them to all my family and friends.

I give NSFORD and the employees I worked with 5 stars because they went above and beyond to not only help me find thee exact car I wanted but took care of me and my wants as well. Even with the weather acting up they went above and beyond and made my first experience with NSFORD one to remember. I look forward to doing more business with this outstanding group of guys. I was able to trade in and drive off in my CPO mustang within only a couple hours. Highly recommend ALEX MANCILLA he was a great help and a real pleasure to do business with. CHARLES WILLIAMS greeted me right away and made me feel at home. He told me that him and his team would do everything possible for me to leave in the car I wanted. ROB RODRIGUEZ handled my financing and was not only extremely knowledgeable, he provided me with the best possible package for my car. Big thanks to the team and to everyone I worked with.

North side ford was the last dealership I was going to visit on my journey to shop for an F 250 pickup. As I walked in to the dealership and looked over to my left, feeling frustrated and mentally exhausted after diligently shopping for the the truck of my dreams I noticed a salesman that appeared to me as ice cube, that put a smile on my face and instantly I knew that he was the man that I wanted to be my sales man. I had just drove from the big town of D. Texas to Austin and back after Spencer the salesman from xxxx at Leif Johnson ford topped off an already terrible shopping experience. Spencer flat out lied to me and doctored a false cost of the truck and after I drove to austin, it was all a lie and spencer had lied to get me there. When I shop, im not desperate, I'm just interested. Mind you I sat happy and hip in my 2014 Chevrolet high country and spent 10 thousand dollars in after market accessories at my good ol buddy Tim dunkins place. Plus I put 10 grand down. This deal just needed to be right. So this Ford 250 needed to meet my expectations of an already nice ride. When I walked up to ice cubes desk, he introduced him self as Ronnie Mitchell. All this time my mind had completely forgot about the experience I went through. I told ice (Ronnie) "I've walked your lot and these two stock numbers are the trucks I'm interested in, however not completely. I like dark carpet not tan." He found the truck instantly knowing in my demenor that I wasn't in the market to waste any more additional time. I then asked him the golden question, "HOW MICH?" The story gets better, he then introduces me to who appears to be to me as Cuba Gooding Jr. But Mitchell introduces him to me as Joe Thorton. Joe then gives us a price and the price he gives us is not bad at all. It beat every dealer we had called and visit with. (Even chaparral Fords new 2015)In my mind I knew I was shopping at all the wrong places and looking for fords in to many place. However, it was the best but not quit where we needed to be. So Cuba and Ice flat out ask what they had to do for me so I can go home in the truck of my dreams and I told them and they made it happen. Yes you heard right. They made it happen and all the doubts of letting my high country go fled my mind and instantly I knew I was blessed to have ever come across north side ford and not only north side ford but Ice cube and Cuba! That was a Hollywood experience in right here in San Antonio Texas! Additional: Ronnie listened and didn't rush me, he didn't get frustrated, he didn't lie to me, and he was very easy to talk to and he understood exactly what I needed and it was just important to him as it was to me to get me in the truck I wanted In addition to the price! We felt right at home at Norhside Ford & that comes from my heart!Thank you Thank you Thank you Ronnie, Joe and Nothside Ford!Michelle & Danny T2016 King ranch and we love it!

The staff is courteous and helpful. This guy's Eugene Perez makes all the painful process super easy. In just a few hours we came home in a brand new car. When all the dealers said no. They said "why not?t let's try it" I strongly recommend Northside ford San antonio and Eugene Perez our salesman. We are really happy with our new car and the service we received

I had a great experience at Northside Ford ranging from the quotes I received by email, to the greeting at the dealership, service from my sales consultant Jason Pelmear, as well as the finance department!Jason was very thorough in determining what I was looking for in a vehicle and I left with a Ford Edge and love it! Great customer focus and service! I would recommend to friends and family and return when I consider another vehicle! Thanks Northside Ford!

I arrived at Northside Ford expecting the usual pushy salesman to try and sell me a car that was way out of my price range. However, Ramiro was the complete opposite of my expectations. As a first time buyer, I had a ton of questions, and he was able to answer them honestly, and was extremely patient with my lack of "car knowledge". After giving him a list of everything I wanted in a car, I ended up leaving with the perfect car for me at a very affordable price. I also had the pleasure of having Trey as my finance guy. He was so helpful and never tried to sell me more warranty than I needed. All in all everything was exceptional. I would recommend checking out this dealership and asking for Ramiro!

NS Ford ...AMAZING. No pressure sales. i was ready to purchase new car but wasn't ready to purchase that day. Ramiro was AMAZING asked me a few questions about wants and must haves. went thru a few cars. Very patient. Several hours later gave me an out the door price. NO pressure to purchase that day. Didn't try to sell me something I didn't want/need. Came back a few days later and purchased. Next morning right tail light out called Ramiro had it in and out within hours. Kudos to the Service Dept! Thanks Ramiro, Service Dept and NS Ford

I recommend having Zachary P. he was very welcoming and didn't just help us with a car but also helped us find cheaper car insurance. We also meet the boss Chris Brand and he was a very nice man who let us sit in his office till we got our insurance situated. Best experience we had buying a car. :)

Great service. Bought a truck May 2016 and the first truck has some issues with parts, manufacturers fault not dealership. Jason went above and beyond to make sure i got what wanted plus more. He followed through the end of the deal and helped is with everything. He is extremely polite and professional and would recommend him to everyone. We also bought a mustang in May 2016 and again he was nothing but polite and professional and helped us get what we wanted for the right price not anything else. Jason is an amazing dealer and cares for the customer.

Called Northside Ford for a price quote on Ford Super Duty that was overpriced and asked for their best price. I asked for a Sales Manager and was told that they were to busy to take call. I dealt with a salesman who had no idea what was goes on. He took my number and said he would call back. When he called back, which surprised me that he even did. He advised that the price advertised was the best price and i could take it or leave it. I was never asked if i had an offer or what my trade was. I don't know how this dealership stays in business. I will never call this dealership again and will do my best to let others know as well. If the owners accept this business practice then Ford should have them shut down. I will be contacting Ford Headquarters next.

Last month in mid-March 2016 I bought a 2011 F150 Limited with less than 95k miles on it and I don't even know where to start with all the problems I had with them and the truck, I should have never gone thru with the purchase so shame on me, but I want to expose them for what they are: LIARS. They assured me everything was working on the truck, and that they would touch up all the paint nicks on it and detail it... When I received the truck not only did it have 2 dents in the tailgate, and was filthy to the point I had to get it detailed myself, but the truck's computer was completely broken and has to be replaced for $1,200... They refused to pay for that of course. David Starnes and Kenny Love are downright liars, and they're arrogant while they lie to your face, too. They are the epitome of "used car salesman". I'm so angry with myself for buying from them. Cost me $1,500 in senseless crap they should have fixed themselves the moment the truck got on their lot. What a joke. STAY AWAY FROM NORTHSIDE FORD!!!

Absolutely HORRIBLE dealership to deal with. Everyone you deal with from sales, to finance and right into upper management is about as sleazy as they come. Typical lying, used care salesman types. No honesty at this dealership and no service after the sale, either. We're currently battling with them to get our copies of our deal paperwork back. We finalized everything over the mail and they won't even send us back our copies of the paperwork.Avoid at all costs... these guys really are horrible.

I was looking at a specific truck I had seen in their website. Gave it a like and immediately I got an email asking when I'd go to see it. I responded saying I'd go on a weekend gave Kenny Love the hour I'd be there and sure enough as I pulled into the lot he was waiting for me to show the truck, did the test run and settled with the pricing. He offered us pizza and drinks. All went smooth then sent us to finance with Trey Engle and explained all the paperwork to a tee. Great experience, when we left with the truck there was a smudge of a fingerprint on the screen and Kenny imidiately called it and cleaned it himself. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking to buy a vehicle.

So I thought my 2 1/2 hour oil change (with a scheduled appt) was just a bad deal and maybe a bad day for service.....WELL, here I am on a Saturday morning at 7 am with my 5 year old sitting in service. I called and scheduled an appt for 7 am because I have a lot going on and my life is all about schedules right now....I pulled into the bay and was informed that I'll be here waiting most of the day. I asked why because I have an appt...I was told the appt was just to check my car in not my service time (keep in mind I'm the first car here). So now I'm stranded here all day with a 5 year old?!? This is ridiculous and completely unacceptable! Not only will I not come back....I'm never buying another Ford!

Jason Palmear was very professional and helpful! He responded timely to every single question I had, and helped me narrow in on the right car for my mom. He is a tremendous asset to the Northside Ford Family and offers tremendous value to customers.

I found a truck at their website, called in to verify price. Spoke to a Sam Hassan (sales) and he said, yes the truck is still here come and see it. Arrived at the dealer, met with Sam, did a test drive and even ended up getting other discounts than what was already posted in the website. Whole process took less than 2 hours, out the door with my new truck. Have gone back since to do oil changes, and the service is still excellent. This was the best price I found for the truck, and Sam made everything go smooth.

This may the 10th time I have bought and finance a new automobile. By far this was the best experience I have had. I didn't even go to Northside Ford to purchase a new truck, I was looking for a car for my son. Ken's willingness to answer all my questions even thought I told him I was just looking was the main motivating factor that made me decide to go for it. My new F150 is great! I will recombined North Side Ford to and Ken to all my friends and family from now on. Good JOB!!

Ramiro did a really good job finding the truck I wanted and working with me to get the best price with the options that are important to me. Even after the sale he has been really helpful and gone out of the way to make sure all the items we discussed have been taken care regardless of the time, ect. Very good salesman and the dealership has been easy to work with.

For a first time car buyer, I was extremely hesitant and anxious about signing my life away to a 3 year lease. The gentleman I worked with didn't pressure me, and I came back 3 different times before signing the lease. While he stayed in touch regularly to make sure I didn't have new questions or concerns, I never felt annoyed or as though he was hovering to make a sale. Everyone else in the dealership was very friendly and respectful (as they should be) but it all felt very natural and as if they cared more about my well being and not my potential sale. The only complaint I have is the gentleman in Finance didn't seem to know too much about my lease deal, specifically. I asked a question or two that he couldn't answer which I felt was little odd, seeing as how he should know the banking details of my deal. I got a response of "Ya know, I'm not sure. I'm just the bank guy and you should have gone over that with your Sales guy". He did, however, get me through and done very quickly, which is why he may not have known all my specific lease details. I appreciated how short of a time I had to wait and how quick signing went, as from experience, not all dealerships are fast on Finance. (Boyfriend had to wait at least an hour at Toyota!) Overall, I'm happy. It was a good place to go!

I had a great time at the dealer. I was greeted at the door by a sales man. He asked me what I was I looking for and than showed me some cars. He wasn't pushy by any means he showed me what I wanted and than a couple other ideas. After the test drive we came in and sat down and crunched some numbers, while we did hat he still was pushy he was very relaxed and calm. I came away with an amazing car and a amazing dealer experience. Thank you Ramiro for the help and being a great sales man.

It took me several months to finally find the car that was right for me and Ramiro Sepulveda was by my side the entire time. He never once pressured me into buying a car that I wasn't 100% sure on and he was also reliable when I called him or wanted to go to the dealership to look at a vehicle. Ramiro helped me get into the car that was perfect for me and at a fair price as well. I literally could not have asked for better service while looking for a new vehicle. So often we hear cases of pushy car salesmen and the hassles of buying a car; However, Ramiro eliminated any hassles associated with buying a vehicle and respected my personal space and decisions. Outstanding car buying experience, especially for a first time buyer. I cant imagine going anywhere else in the future.

After visiting several Ford dealerships, Mr. Sepulveda at North Side Ford was the deciding factor to purchase my truck there. Not only did he exhibit the best customer service that I have ever received while shopping for vehicles, he was knowledgeable and very helpful in the process. He answered all my questions and reviewed every detail with me. Mr. Sepulveda takes a personal interest to provide the best customer service to all his guests. I would highly recommend anyone looking to purchase a vehicle to visit Mr. Ramiro Sepulveda at Northside.

After researching on the internet, Northside Ford had the largest inventory with a 10-12% less price for our 2015 F-150 criteria search throughout the local Ford dealerships. Even my previous Ford dealership pricing were 20% more than Northside Ford for the same like item. Without any hesitation, I would recommend Northside Ford to anyone and to do an internet search to see the great deals they offer verses other dealership. I am 100% disabled and I couldn't walk the huge lot even though I tried. Winded, tired and by chance, I ran into Ramiro Sepulveda outside. Even though he was dealing with another customer's vehicle that was being serviced, he immediately offered us water as he walked us to his office after hearing me. Mr. Sepulveda performed an inventory search with my criterias and found several F-150 for us to look at. He immediately got a goftcart to transport me to the vehicles, showed us everything within our budget, trim and color and was so fast to tailor it down to two trucks. We test drove one truck and it was a keeper. If I didn't get the sidebar installed, I would have drove home, but instead it was a done deal in two days tops. Northside Ford knows how to take care of their potential customers/buyers. Keep up the AMAZING job!?! Thank You Northside Ford and more importantly...Thank You Ramiro Sepulveda.

Waited on your service drive Monday several minutes by my truck and not one person ever spoke to me. There was no line, I was the only one there. I walked into the service writer's area and still no one even looked my way. I finely asked for help and was told no service until Friday. Too busy to even be polite? I drive a 2008 F-150 and get flyers from your dealership inviting me into both sales and service regularly so I come in only to be ignored, a waste of advertising $$$$.

As far as dealerships go, we feel that Northside is the best here in San Antonio. We did have some dealings with other dealerships in our area here and most were just flat out not worth even a poor rating. However dealing with Northside was a good experience As most people we would rather have a root canal than have to go through the dealership experience and deal with the vultures that wait for you as you drive in the lot. It wasnt quite that way at Northside. We were met after pulling in by a salesman, when we gave him a salesmans name that we had been in contact with, he took us right inside and to the man we were to see. We knew exactly what we wanted and we knew what we were willing to pay. We layed it all out to him and he had something close to our needs and wants. After the test drive, he was clear that if it wasnt what we exactly wanted we could shake hands and part as friends at anytime. We were also given the option to order the exact vehicle we wanted. We were prepared to do just that. But the one we drove was close enough to what we would have ordered and the things that werent on it that we did want were also added to the paperwork and they ensured us that everything would be taken care of in only a couple days. They were true to their word. We got what we wanted and paid what we were prepared to pay. The other people that worked there were conscious to our needs and were also willing to do what it takes to make us happy. While they had to do the work on our new truck to add the things it didnt have that we wanted we were told it would take about 3 days. They gave us a loaner. I was ready to have some old beat up trade in. Nope...... They gave me a brand new pickup to drive while they were working on mine. We dealt with New car sales, the accessories department manager and the service department manager. ALL of them were very nice and accommodating. Its not just the deal we got Nor just the people we dealt with. It was everything together that made our experience a good one. We will definitely go there again when the time comes to purchase something else. We will also HIGHLY recommend the dealership (Northside Ford) to any and all who may be looking to buy a vehicle of any type, Car or Truck. New or Used......... They are very good people to deal with.

John Caylor started my experience via the internet. Then we went on two test drives that made my decision. The John and David Starnes the Director of Internet Sales got together and put together I a great deal for my new 2016 Mustang. They were professional and very clear on communication. The deal was complicated because of using other pieces from my previous car purchase at this dealership. They took their time and were able to transfer all policies and utilize all the cash and rebates to put together a great deal. Very happy.

We lost hope of buying a new vehicle so we went looking at used vehicles at NORTHSIDE FORD. Our salesman Ramiro Sepulveda approached us with a personality and smile that made us feel so welcomed. He walked us thru the entire process with that same smile and awesome attitude the whole time there. We test drove so many vehicles and not once did his attitude change. He ended up getting us out of there in a brand new 2016 Ford Escape. We are completely satisfied and WILL recommend NSFORD/Ramiro Sepulveda to all our family and friends. Keep up the excellent work!!!

I did have an issue with the Sales Manager charging me for add ons I had not agreed to but after contacting the General Manager it was immediately corrected and my money refunded. Really a pleasure to work with a dealership who understands customer satisfaction. I would recommend this dealership because in the end they were more than fair. However, be very careful what sales manager you work with! My sales person, Mickey was excellent and him I would recommend anytime!Based on the General Manager and Mickey I would have given 5 stars but just the fact that they have sales managers that have an integrity issue, I had to go with four!
Disappointed
Dec 17, 2015
So, 12 days later....... I have received apologies from both Scott Gilmore, Finance Director and Matt Starnes - Digital Director (responded to my original review). Both have indicated they want to do what they can to address the situation. Other than my in-person visit with Scott I have not heard from him other than a couple of emails stating of additional items they needed from us for the lender. I sent Matt an email yesterday but have not heard from him yet either. My original review was very factual and now I have even more to add. We were put in a position that in order to get a vehicle my husband wanted we had to purchase from Northside because I could not afford to shop somewhere else due to the fact that a different dealership would also have to do a hard hit credit check which would drop my score again. 12/11 my husband took off work to finalize the deal because we were guaranteed the deal was done to our satisfaction. Of course that was not the case so he spent unnecessary time at the dealership and away from work....more lost money. Therefore, we got the truck but with a $50 more a month payment and an extremely high interest rate. We signed the final paperwork on 12/12/15. All done.....NOPE. After we signed the final papers and left the dealership we were called and said there was additional paperwork that they needed from us to verify address/PO Box for the lender. Another unnecessary trip on our part. As of 12/17 I am still trying to jump through hoops to get them what they need for the lender. I am exhausted and at this point ready to tell them to just come get the xxxx truck. The amount of time I have wasted, the amount of gas/money I have used making multiple trips back and forth to the dealership (120 miles round tripe), the lost money from my husband missing work.....all I can do is think I have a big sticker on my back that says "dummy".

We have not had any real dealings with the dealership other than the buying process but I can say that experience was handled very well by our salesman Mr. Ramiro Sepulveda. Ramiro was very professional, courteous, and he went out of his way to answer questions and to show us as many vehicles as was necessary to help us make up our mind.

Jason Pelmear is a real super star. We have purchased several vehicles, through him and he is very patient and gives you the ability to think through the entire purchase with ease. Thanks again for another great Ford experience. Can't leave out the Finance expert either. Dino is a super star as well. He represents and leaves the decision to you. Northside you are fortunate to have these guys and I am fortunate to be able to have them to call every time I purchase a vehicle.SinerelyMark & Terri M

I have several friends who have used them in the past and had a good experience. That is why when it came time to purchase another vehicle we went to them. The staff is a pleasure to work with up until the time you have a problem. We were doing everything online as to make it easier for us when we arrived at the dealership. We had our financing in order, had a vehicle picked out, all we had to do was show up sign some papers and drive off. Easy, right??? Here is where the deal went south. I had called our salesman earlier in the day to let him know we would be there at a specific time so that he could get the car through make ready and have everything in order. As we got closer to the dealership i texted him to let him know we were almost there, he replied okay see you soon. A few minutes later he called and told me the car we wanted had just sold, what? I called you earlier to make sure you had it ready to go for us, what happened? He didnt offer an excuse except to say we have 40 other salesman and they sell cars. Then he told us that he had to run to another dealership to pick up a car and that he would be back in 45 minutes. Again he knew we would be there at a certain time and he is leaving, really? We should have turned around and went home, my wife knew something was not right. We ended up at the dealership anyway to see what else they had that she might like. She didnt want to be there so she didnt care what they had. Salesman finally shows up and tries to find her another car. He found a nice vehicle for her and we checked it out. Price was higher than we wanted so we asked if they could work the price down, afterall they sold the vehicle we were there to buy and he left to go get another vehicle for another buyer. They couldnt do anything with the price, finance director had already went home for the night. The salesman said that it would be monday before anything could be done, we were there on a friday evening. How do they sell cars on the weekend if no one is there that can make a decision??? Interesting... We asked to talk to a manager, only manager available was the sales manager. I asked him why if there is a deal in place do they not hold cars. He said that they dont because sometimes people dont show up and if someone is there in person to buy it they sell it. Okay i can understand that, but you have all of my paperwork, you have the financing in order, and i stayed in constant contact with the salesman the day we were supposed to pick the car up. He didnt care, he was of no help. I asked them how they sell cars through their internet department if they dont hold cars. All i heard was crickets, not one person could answer that question. We left that night feeling like that a bait and switch had just been pulled. We will never recommend Northside Ford to anyone. Luckily we found the exact vehicle my wife wanted at another dealership and bought it within hours on a saturday for less money.

First time I met Hector "Hugo" Vasquez was when I drove down from Austin to pick up my truck. We met via email and went back and forth over trucks/options/tow capacities etc. until I found the exact truck and configuration I needed - and luckily he had the one I wanted on the lot.Had a deal going up here in Austin but when that deal went South - well so did I - right down to Hugo at Northside Ford. Very happy with my experience with Richard Powell in finance (Thanks Richard) but will have to say Hugo went above and beyond to work out my deal - and I'm very happy with my purchase.

If I could give a rate of "0" I would. I have never had a worse car buying experience in my life. After dealing with 10 different sales team associates (two of which left the dealership the day after we spoke to them), we still didn't end up with a new truck. My husband and I went to the dealership and told them what our monthly budget was. We have A+ credit so that wasn't the issue. The issue was that after looking at multiple vehicles, spending countless (non productive) hours and numerous weekends here not one individual took responsibility for their actions. I'll spare you all the details and simply get to the point that was the final straw. On Saturday my husband went, yet again, to the dealership in hopes of buying a truck. The truck he had found on the dealership's website had been sold but they showed him a similar one. While he was debating on settling on one that he wasn't in love with, his luck changed. The truck that he originally wanted was being returned. After driving the truck and letting them know he was ready to make a purchase, he was told "We will make this deal happen". After being there 3+ hours, he had to leave and was told they would call him when the paperwork was done either that night or Monday morning. We didn't hear from the dealership Saturday or Monday so we took it upon ourselves to contact them. I got in touch with the four different people that we had dealt with on Saturday and each one seemed to have little or no recollection of those conversations from the weekend. During this time another sales associate had began a deal on the truck that was supposed to be ours. At this point we were told that if their deal didn't go through we could work something out. I'm not sure who was ultimately responsible for dropping the ball on this deal but it's extremely frustrating. We gave Northside Ford way too many opportunities to become our dealership and would not recommend any one going there. There are too many other dealerships that would be happy simply follow up and sell you a vehicle.

Was looking for a RED Focus ST3 and there were only 4 showing up in the Texas inventory. Asked for a number on one at Northside Ford and they came back immediately, then a follow up phone call from Paco Salguero. Drove down to Northside on a Saturday, took a test drive and made the purchase. trading in my 12 year old vehicle. Was satisfied with the price and the zero percent financing via Ford Credit was an added bonus. Worked with Paco Salguero and Enrique Reyes in the Internet Department and would highly recommend them.

First salesman, Aaron found the vehicle I had queried on the Internet and was very helpful in demo'ing ride showing all the whistle and bells it had. Internet salesperson Errolyn Cutkelvin took over the sale and got me all the information I needed to include the trade in appraisal to get my bottom price I wanted, left that evening with the vehicle and she spent extra time to make sure I knew all the electronic controls for the Synch system. Entire process was fairly painless.

David Starnes and Errolyn treated me very well. They respected my questions, honored my time, and delivered exactly what we agreed upon. This is a big dealership and I expected a long, drawn out process. It was much quicker than expected. I highly recommend Errolyn as a salesperson. She not pushy but is thorough.

My EGR valve was recently replaced at Northside Ford for a cost of $633.72. They charged me $269.04 for the new EGR valve. I looked up the price of the same EGR valve at their parts dept website and it only costs $194.20 (72% increase). Since then I had a coil assembly replace at a DIFFERENT dealer, and they charged me the exact SAME price as their parts dept. (The coil price was also the exact same price on the Northside Ford parts website).

I am now driving my 4th new Ford F150 truck. The first was a company vehicle, so I didn't have the new car buying experience. The next three were purchased at Northside Ford and I have never had a bad experience. Marty, in particular, stands out because his knowledge of the trucks is obvious and he patiently guides you through the process. He listens to you when you tell him what options are meaningful to you and shows you only those vehicles and options that are a fit. He made the decision making process effortless, which is always my goal when new car shopping.

I selected, signed, and financed a vehicle; but I changed my mind because I wanted features I saw on a different vehicle. Charles said it was perfectly OK to change my mind. Charles and his team help me make that change effortlessly. I am extremely satisfied with my car buying experience and I will return to buy a second car from Charles in the near future!

I purchased a 2012 Ford Cerified Lariat F250 Vehicle paid over 50K for a Certified truck. When I noticed that the trailer mirrors and the vanity lights weren't working, I purchased it on 06/13 and I took it on on 06/19 to schedule repairs. After waiting 2 1/2 hours I inquired to the service writer named Tom. He told me he had to wait for pictures to be sent to Ford for approval to get warranty authorization. I was really upset because I had to inquire myself to get answers. In this day in time customer interaction is very important. My argument is if I was sold a Ford Certified Truck. It should be Cerified. I don't see how ford can certify a vehicle with problems and to top it off, the tires are worn out more than 1/2 of their life. I would not have accepted it but my wife bought it for me as a wedding anniversary gift. I believe Northside ford took advantage of my wife. Cerified to me is that the vehicle is in tip top shape. I drive it to the so called dealership to get it serviced, but in the rain it wasn't safe to drive due to the worn out tires. The used car sales manager tried to resolve the situation but made it worse when he tried to BS me with the "president awards displayed. In the sales floor.. I will never recommend this dealership to anyone. I don't care what they have displayed on the sales floor. To me that is just a gimmick to draw people in.

I had recently purchased a new vehicle at another dealership. I was happy to have it but kept thinking to myself, "this just isn't me". I decided to go to Northside Ford to have a look at what I could have purchased instead of my new "crossover SUV". No sooner than I had arrived, Ronald Hernandez approached me and asked if he could assist me. At first, I thought that I would be happier in a new truck. We road around in his golf cart and he gave me complete access to the trucks that interested me, including test drives. When I had found one that suited me, we made our way back to the office to crunch numbers. By this time they were getting ready to close for the evening. Ron was very patient with me and told me to take my time. Before we made it inside, I spotted the Mustangs and decided to have a look. I told Ron that the Mustangs were sending a chill up my back and that now I'd like to have a closer look. Without hesitation, Ron gave me the time that I needed to look at several of them. VERY IMPRESSIVE! Even though closing time was now behind us, I never felt rushed. I was drawn to a black GT and after a test drive, I was anxious to hammer out a deal. I got everything that I wanted. It was now an hour and a half after closing and I was driving my new Mustang GT home! It's been about two weeks now and I still get that chill up my back when I see it in my driveway. I want to thank Ronald Hernandez and all the others that assisted me in realizing my dream come true!

Mr Charles Young is the best sales man i have business with. I went to my nearest dealership which is 4 minutes away (red mccombs ford) the service is very bad its like you are walking into mc Donald's, they dont care about customers. Northside ford is the one to go even though its 17 minutes from my place. Again Mr. Charles Young is the best, any time am buying a car it will be for sure at northside ford!!! Thank you Rayan Othman210-724-5794

This was my very first time to buy a new truck I will NEVER again go to a dealer who does not post the price on the car or truck I feel as if I have been taken and will not use them or there services for nothing ever again. I was sold a new truck Ben Eason the sales person never walked right through anything on the truck I still don't know all I need to know about the truck I need to all he was worried about was SELLING ANOTHER TRUCK he was not about customer services so I would NEVER RECOMEND NORTH SIDE FORD unless upon leaving u want to have that unsettling feeling, this would be your place !!! For the record don't know who mark brown is its making me pick from a lost before posting this review

We would like to extend our most sincere thanks to Mr. Henry Reyes for his help during the purchase of our Ford Escape. He took the time to shows us several vehicles and was extremely patient with us. He was very polite, attentive, and most importantly, extremely honest. This was the first time we did not leave upset from a dealership! We will definitely be returning for future vehicle purchases and will highly recommend Mr. Reyes to all of our friends and family.

We enjoy coming to Northside for the fast and efficient service. Mark Brown made our car buying experience comfortable and no pressure. We gave him our request and he immediately found a variety of cars we could choose from to fit our needs. This is our third car we have bought with Mark's assistance. Keep up the great work Mark!

Charles young is one of the best dealers Ive been to. I don't have the best credit out there but he worked hard to get me the vehicle I wanted. I ended up leaving with my dream car at a fair deal. Definitely the dealer I would go back to.

Lenny was good and knew about the trucks we looked at. There didn't seem to be the same pressure to buy a car that you get at other dealerships. I also found a crack in the left rear taillight the morning after the purchase and the dealership is fixing it no questions asked. Great experience!

Good atmosphere, did not feel pressured at all during my time their. The customer service is amazing, when I purchased I pointed out some flaws in the tine and they fixed it right away. The financing was able and willing to work with me for my new car. Everything went smoothly for my first brand new car purchase!

Let me start with I wish I could give them 0 stars. My name is Edgardo Zavala, and I HAD TO WRITE THIS. I will try to make this as short as possible so people can read it and understand and beware of this place. In October of 2014 I traded in a ford f150 that I bought from them. The truck had been having issues and I was getting 13mpg on the highway. After emails between the salesperson ( Larry Ramirez) the only guy from this place who has been GREAT in all this, told me to bring the truck and that he would work with me. October of 2014 I traded in the truck and got another f150 newer model 2014.Larry worked everything out to get the truck to my budget monthly payment. Up until here everything was going good, it was once I was out and no longer a "paying customer" that everything went downhill. During the time I got the truck, this dealership was running a promotion of a $500 academy giftcard which I was excited to get (with christams coming soon). I did not get one, and I quote the financing guy words. "we gave you too much money for your trade in truck". WHAT? How is that my problem?I was told that they would reimburse me the extended warranty I did not use with my traded in truck.Comes November no check. I emailed Marc Canlas and he told we he would look into it and refund me the prorated amount. Comes December, I emailed Marc once more, no response. Comes January I emailed Marc and ask him if he needs anything from me to get my refund, no response. Comes February and I emailed Marc telling him that getting my refund back was part of the deal to get a new truck. Response I get from him on email after 4 MONTHS and I quote: Please direct your emails to kstarnsatnsford.comWHAT?? ARE YOU SERIOUS?GUESS WHAT? I am tired, I live 550 miles away from the dealership so I am thinking I need to show up.Spoke to Richard in financing and they told us they had mailed a check back in November! So all this time somebody could have told me that, cause obviously I never got the check. Comes march and I receive check after calling them couple of more times. Check I get was not the amount I paid for initially. So to avoid a misunderstanding thinking maybe I am wrong, I asked my salesman if I should be getting the full amount back. He told me I should if I never made a claim. SO comes march 11th I called and left a message. I called every day up until today March 20th leaving voice-mail every time I called. No one has had the decency of calling me back. SO PLEASE they will treat you very good up until you are no longer needed. This is coming from an entrepreneurship guy who deals with customers on a daily basis, and NORTHSIDE FORD, this is NOT how to run a business or treat former customers. IT IS A SHAME!!I have emails and voicemails if anyone wants to verify this story

Hugo Vasquez did a good job of showing us the used car we bought as well as some other choices, then helped get the car serviced for a paint repair to cover a deep scratch, recall repairs and a problem with the sunroof, calling us frequently with updates. We feel like we paid a fair price for a good car (2013 Fusion Hybrid). Thanks Hugo!

Mary Ellen Martinez De Escobar was awesome! It took several weeks for us to negotiate and finalize the deal, but Mary Ellen never gave up working with me. Although I had other potential deals on the table from other local dealerships going at the same time, it was Mary's patience, professionalism and commitment to my satisfaction that made a difference in my used vehicle buying decision. Also, since the floormats and lighter were missing from the vehicle, I wanted them as part of the deal. Mary and the management team instantly said no problem and immediately took care of it! To me, it is those "little extras" that make a difference...Mary and Northside Ford made it happen!

I first met Charles Young to buy my first Ford product in 2012 and now 2015. He represents the highest professionalism and what a salesman should be. You feel he cares about you not only as a person but what you need in choice of vehicle. He is a people person. He truly represents what Northside Ford is as a dealership. I will always return here and to Charles. God bless you and always watch over you and your family. Thanks!!

My sister and I agreed with what we thought I should pay for the car. My sister aggressively fought to get what we agreed upon. More than 1 employee bent over backwards trying to make the sale and to still make a profit. I've got more car than I was looking for but I'm going to love it.

The Service Consultant, Erik Villarreal, was excellent! He was the epitome of customer service - very friendly and personable.My last experience there was awful because the Service Consultant was rude and unengaged. I don't remember his name but he was older with grey hair - he was there yesterday but thankfully did not wait on me. He should try to learn something from Erik.

When the 2011 Mustangs became available, I purchased one from Northside Ford. After driving the car for a few months, I decided to purchase two continental tires to provide additional traction as the rear set. In addition to the tires, I also purchased two new rims and had Northside service department install the tires on the rims and then install them on the car. While installing the tires on the rims, they installed them incorrectly which resulted in damaging the tire over time. Within 13000 miles, the tires would no longer hold air. My first thought was that the tire had a nail, so I took the car to a local Discount Tire. They examined the tire and found that the tire installation had damaged the beading and would ruin the tire over time. I took the tire back to Northside Ford to find a solution. They immediately denied responsibility since Discount Tire took the tire apart. OK, since I was unable to know when the tire may have been damaged. I tried to find a conjoint solution. Since I didnt believe I would get new tires and because they only had 13 K (documented since I purchased the tires at Northside Ford), I asked if they would prorate the tire. They refused. I asked if they could do anything for me and they said no; except sell me two new tires. I was very disappointed in the service I received. As I stated, I didnt expect new tires, but with the limited use, I had hoped they would provide a prorated value. When you consider the price of the car and paying an additional $1500.00 for the tires and rims, I had hoped for better customer appreciation. I will never purchase a vehicle at Northside Ford nor have service performed again. Also, I would NOT recommend this dealership to anyone interested in buying a new car.

I had inquired about purchasing a Certified Used Ford Edge many weeks ago. Enrique responded to my email. I told him that I was not in a big hurry to buy, but would buy in 2015. I would run my current car until it was not cost effective. He would send me emails of current specials on the Edge from time to time. I did let him know that this could be a long process as the need to a new car was not pressing. My current car was old but in good working order even with 228,000+ miles. Well, wouldn't you know, my car starting acting up and repairs were needed. I emailed and also called Enrique on the 30th to let him know that it was time. We got together that day and I went home to with a Certified 2014 Edge Limited. Over all process was 9-10. Enrique was a very nice to work with too. No complaints there.

I found the vehicle I had been looking for, and entered my information for someone to contact me. Mr. Young sent me an e-mail about reviewing a price sent to me that I never received. I e-mailed him to please re-send the offer price, but no response. I called the office and asked for him, as he was the only point of contact I knew. Mr. young took the phone, but before speaking to me, I heard him bragging to someone in the office about leading some sales contest or whatever. Not a good sign..... He then asked what I needed, listened to me explain my situation for a minute, and said "let me call you when I get back to my desk".... I never heard from him again. I am going to buy the Explorer Sport from another dealer. This was a surreal experience.....never had to work so hard to try and get someone to talk to me about wanting to purchase a 50k vehicle. Oh well...live and learn.

They were very patient and answered all my questions, including newbie car-buying questions as this is my first car. They were also more respectful than I expected them to be towards a 22-year-old young professional. I got a great deal and never felt like I was pressured too much to get anything extra that I didn't need.I worked with Enrique Reyes to purchase this car. I can highly recommend him as he's very friendly and professional. He speaks Spanish, too.

Our salesman, Henry Enrique Reyes, was professional, personable, knowledgable, and most important, honest! We had been to other dealers, through the USAA network, and Northside stood by their promise of a great truck at a great price. Our financial advisor, Freddy, was also very helpful with our purchase. He helped navigate our need to title in Florida.

Sometimes it's the little things that count and the vehicle did attract us but the personnel sealed the deal. I'd recommend this dealership to anyone, they really do care about their customers.

Mr. Wolf was very pleasant to work with, and very accommodating. What is normally perceived as a long and painful experience, was turned into the opposite.

This is the second vehicle I have purchased since graduating from college and beginning my teaching career. I went with a Chevrolet first, and I was extremely satisfied with the buying experience. I anticipated much the same with a company as established as Ford. I, however, was greatly disappointed. There is no way this purchase could have been any more stressful, rude, and generally unprofessional. There is no way I will ever return to this company and I will certainly not recommend for to anyone. Not because of the vehicle, which I happen to love my new car, but the sales team, finance team, and other individuals employed at this site did as little as they could to be efficient and effective in their daily business practices. It took three days to take care of paperwork to buy the vehicle because the salesman continuously called me "mija" and in a condescending way tried to offer me life advice. Out of politeness, I didn't correct him, however, being an established woman who was purchasing the vehicle on my own merit, this did not bode well with me. When I went into financing, they made a mistake in calculating the amount I make a year and entered it as if I make that much in a year. The financing was completely thrown off and instead of immediately communicating this, the finance department redid the paperwork and after several hours waiting only then told me of the mistake and the double time was due to the fact they had to re-calculate everything. Due to this delay, I was late to a going away dinner that was for me and had to come back the next day for them to simply wash my car, which incidentally took 2 hours. I have never heard of a carwash take so long in my life. In order to make this sale, I traded in my Camaro which by chance had been rear ended previously. I did have an estimate from another car dealership for how much it would cost to return the car to its normal state. Northside Ford, without creating their own estimate or checking that this number was acceptable by the insurance that would be repairing my car, accepted what would be the payment made by the car insurance as my down payment for 2,800.00. The reason I purchased a new vehicle was because I was moving to California and wanted a car that was more reasonable than the Camaro. Two weeks later, I was moving, and on my drive as I was 10 hours from San Antonio, my car salesman calls me in a panic and tells me that I have to bring the Escape back or send him nearly 1,200.00 immediately. I originally told Charles that I didn't want to/nor could I afford a down payment and was using my trade in as down payment. So when he called and told me to bring the car back and I asked him if he had spoken to the finance department to add the amount to my note, he got upset and frustrated. Our conversation ended with him hanging up on me. Once in California, Northside Ford sent me a new contract with arrows of where to sign and didn't tab one, so I didn't sign it. They swore they did arrow it and it was a failure on my part. They even told me that it was on camera. I later spoke to a manager who let it slip that they do not have cameras in all offices. About 29 days after the purchase of my car, Northside Ford had maintained possession of my Camaro and received the insurance payment for the repairs from the insurance office. However, my financer of my Camaro began to call and say I had missed payment. Due to negligence on part of Ford, I now have a mark against my credit for not paying on time. I again called and spoke to my salesman and instead of directing me to the finance department, he swore to me that the finance department had taken care of it. I then received another collector call trying to remand payment and conference called the salesman as proof of non-payment. He then believed me and payment was sent after. Unfortunately, due to the lack of timeliness on part of Northside Ford, their tardiness is now on my credit report as more than 30 days past due. I have never heard of this happening before. All of this. This is unacceptable and I feel that Ford, a company that typically is known for quality would be greatly disappointed to hear that customers are being mistreated to this degree.

We bought a 2012 Fusion in 2011 from Northside Ford because it was priced significantly less than a Boerne ford dealer, and just traded it in on a 2014 Fusion from Northside Ford in August. Jason Pelmear was our Sales Consultant in 2011 and we asked for him again when we bought our 2014 Fusion. Jason was excellent to work with, very knowledgeable, and made the trade-in and buying process very easy. He took a lot of time to show us all the new features of the 2014 model. There was absolutely no pressure in the sale, trade-in or financing process. Northside Ford is a excellent dealer, both in sales and service and we will use them and Jason Pelmear again.

Stephanie Rocha is a very professional, knowledgeable and patient Service Rep. She always keeps us informed as to what MUST be done, what Needs to be done and what should be done with our vehicles, then lets us decide how to proceed. I trust her judgment and integrity implicitly. I have and will continue to refer anyone; family, friends and complete strangers, to her for vehicle maintenance &/or repairs. I have a rudimentary working knowledge of vehicles and if the work in question is something I can complete myself, Stephanie will state as much. I know the answer to any vehicle related question is only a phone call away.

Gave him balloons. They have a huge play area inside like one you would see a McDonald's. Gave him extra rides in the golf cart. Made it an extremely fun environment. Everything about their service was amazing. Thank you all!Highly recommended.

My "mom-mobile," is ten years old. It was time to pass it down to our teenage driver and get me a new car. I prolonged buying a vehicle for months because I dreaded the purchasing process and the fear that I would not get the best possible deal. A family member highly recommended Northside Ford saying it was the most reliable, trustworthy, and reasonably priced. They were correct!A few day ago, I had the pleasure of working with sales consultant, Chris Brand. Mr. Brand was very professional and most importantly attentive to what I was seeking in a car and payment. In a short amount of time, he was able to find me a beautiful Ford Edge with more features and at a lower price than I initially expected. I was exceptionally pleased with Chris Brand and Northside Ford. In the future, my family will exclusively shop at Northside Ford for vehicles and work with Chris Brand as our sales consultant

I cannot express how much I appreciate those who work in the Service department at Northside Ford. I have been bringing my vehicles for service there for years and each time they seem to go out of their way to take care of me. Javier has always greeted me when I arrive and has always gone out of his way to make me feel like a valued customer and always works with me on any service I need done. Javier is a first class act I really appreciate him and have total confidence on his opinion when it comes to the service of my vehicles. Today, I had service worked on my vehicle that has been an issue for some time. After taking a look on how long we have been trying to get this problem corrected the service Manager Mike went out of his way to take care of this for me which left me very grateful. These guys are All Stars in my book and as a military guy I appreciate their integrity and highly recommend them and Northside Ford service department to any and every Ford owner in the San Antonio area.

Starting with the Service Dept. mgr., Ben, he was on duty before anyone else had arrived. I needed to be in and out as soon as possible. His presence was assurance something would happen right away. I asked for Stephanie Rocha to whom I had been recommended but did not know. Ben said she was at her desk, as al most always 15 minutes before the scheduled time to open the service and receive cars. That was the beginning of two weeks of rather intense re-equipping a used F 250 I had bought from a private sale off-lot. Northside's staff could not have been more helpful. Stephanie was right there with the needed part of answer and the techs put it all together. I was particularly impressed that Stephanie know all the places to have truck accessories added. I am definitely a Northside customer. Richard M Freeman, San Antonio and Utopia, Texas

We have had our Fords serviced at Northside since we moved to San Antonio five years ago, and have always been satisfied with the service we received. In 2013 we purchased a new Escape through Larry Ramirez. It was an easy decision to come back to him when we decided to go down to one vehicle. We traded two cars for our new 2015 Explorer. Larry took time to help us through multiple test drives to make sure we got exactly the right car. We feel we got a fair price for our two trades and a good deal on a beautiful new vehicle. There was good follow through after the sale, and I'm sure we will continue to have our new Ford serviced at Northside.

Stephanie, my service advisor, is professional and really knows her stuff. I believe that she is honest and respectful with me. My customer experience is 100% better when I deal with Stephanie. I will wait in line for her even if 5 males are available.

The service adviser was courteous and knowledgeable. They didn't wait until 7:00 to open because they had two customers outside waiting. So they opened the doors a little early.

Started out using USAA Car Buying service which led me to the Northside Ford dealership closest to my home. Pretty much went into the dealership on a Saturday knowing what I wanted and aprox how much I wanted to spend. Asked for the sales rep recommended on the USAA site. and did business. He found me the vehicle I was looking for (altho a sales person was currently using it as a demo, so it wasn't on the lot the day we went in). No issues or problems, finance was a piece of cake (went through USAA) and picked the Explorer up on Monday. So far so good! The only negative was that I feel I should have gotten more for my trade in. I traded a 1999 Explorer low miles a very good condition. I was only given $1,000 for it... other than that, appreciated the positive experience. and didn't get any high pressure to buy.

Our salesman, Chris Peterson, was patient and professional. He gave accurate and concise information. His professional salesmanship was topnotch. He gave us room to make our decision to buy the vehicle we wanted but kept in touch with us during the process. We left Northside with great respect for him as a salesman.

Fast and Friendly service! Tom has always been friendly, joking around a bit, but professional and courteous. The oil change on my truck was lightning fast. WOW!! I arrived at 7:05AM, and I was walking out 7:46AM - oil change and all paperwork...DONE!!As an added bonus, I found my truck was locked up (good because I had some tools and other personal belongings inside) AND I found my seat in the same position when I dropped off the truck...I didn't have to adjust it forward nor backward. The radio wasn't on, much less on and blaring. NS Ford continues to exceed my expectations of fast and courteous service.

I like that I don't have to search for assistance. There is always one of the Northside Ford sales or service staff nearby that are willing to approach me and answer any questions that I may have. I especially like the friendly environment and never feel pressured into a sale. This is what brought me back to purchase my third vehicle from Northside Ford.

Mike, my service agent, was simply great. I do want you to know that we have been doing business with Northside for about 8 years now, and have NEVER, NEVER been disappointed. During this time we have spent over $75,000.00 and have not regretted one cent!

Would not recommend this dealership to my worst enemy. First off vehicles offerd on there web site are not necessarily there on there lot. Heres my experience, found a truck i was interested in on the web site turns out truck is on a southside lot with no northside logo anywhere. After asking about this i am informed it is an overflow lot, ok not to big of a deal, after test driving vehicle truck has some issues i am told by a manager at northsides main lot it will be brought over to main lot for repairs made, still ok with that, I make the hour and half drive to northsides lot two days later to see how repairs are going. NOT to my suprise truck never made there but parts picked up to have repairs made at original location. Now im concerned, being that this is a very small lot with no service center, so i send out an email to my concerns of truck being repaired off site. I get an email from the southside lot stating i got them in trouble because of my concerns about repairs, when in my email I never mentioned anyones names, and stated very clearly that sales staff was very nice to me, but just simply why was truck not being repaired at there main site nothing more. Long story short it turned into a big pi$$in match that i seemed to have shook up a hornets nest by doing nothing more than wanting to buy a mechanically sound vehicle from NORTHSIDE/SOUTHSIDE FORD!!!!!!!!!! FIRST AND LAST TIME I WILL EVER MAKE THAT MISTAKE. My suggestion to anyone considering buying is let this be your last choice and thats after considering taking the BUS!!!!

Worked with Charles Young on trading in an F250 Super Duty for an F150 because I wanted to get a better gas mileage vehicle and really don't like cars. Worked on this deal for about 3 weeks before we got close to where I think we should have been. Charles stayed in touch and kept me abreast on what was going on. I really like the F150 even though I do miss the size of the F250. Since I keep my trucks up and follow the maintenance suggestions whoever gets that F250 will be happy because its a xxxx good truck.

I visited your dealership to purchase a new truck. Salesman was polite,later found out I was set up for a real bad screwing. I explained what I needed and other options. I need a truck to pull a 5th wheel rv trailer never got to see the truck before signing the papers. I should have known better, but the bell did not go off. Later I discovered the finance man had slipped a $2000. warranty on it without asking me. Finally got that straightened out. Next big problem, the truck had a 5 ft bed. No way to put a hitch in the bed. Now I am screwed again. Went back to dealership, they went thru the process of trying to find a truck with a 6 ft bed. No luck........I left and found a super nice Chevrolet. Traded the beep beep Ford in and hope I never hear of anyone going to Northside,I will talk them out of it.

we were met immediately by Jose with a smile and offers to help in any way. we were offered comfort and cold water. we were quickly taken to the automobiles that might meet our needs and even brought over one that was better and less expensive that met our needs. we were quickly approved for finance. everything moved very quickly, at a preferred pace. the finalization and presentation all occurred with great professionalism and friendly atmosphere. it was a nice experience. this is my first ford in 30 years we are very happy that this experience went so well. I will most certainly refer others as occasion permits and return in the future.

Our experience at Northside and with John Tovar was good. John was/is pleasant, helpful but not to pushy, and has been prompt to respond to our questions and requests. My husband and I have purchased several new Ford cars over the years but this was our first time to purchase from Northside. When we are ready to purchase again in the future we will definitely return to Northside and John Tovar.

Hugo was great. He helped us find exactly what we were looking for. He was patient, and did not put any pressure on us. We had looked at other dealerships and felt very pressured to make our mind up right then. We came back to Northside the next morning because of the experience we had with Hugo.

I liked that Hugo showed em exactly what I was looking for. He did not pressure me to buy before I was ready. And he did not give me the "runaround" or try to raise the price or interest rate once we picked out the vehicle. It was a positive experience from start (in April) to finish (end of May)!

I did like the fact that I wasn't dealing with a pushy salesman. Charles Young went above and beyond when it came to explaining the features of the vehicle that I was interested in buying. With that being said I do not believe that is was gives people a good buying experience. The fact that Charles was upfront with the numbers and did not have me going back and fourth with offers made the whole experience worth it. For the first time I truly believe that I left the dealership with the absolute best deal possible all of the way around. Lastly I really do appreciate what northside ford offers the men and women of the police department. Charles was great and was a pleasure to buy a truck from.

I can not express how satisfied we are with the customer service we received from Chris Brand! Chris is professional, patient, knowledgeable and very personable. We purchased 2 vehicles from him two years ago and when my explorer was totaled in an accident a few weeks ago, we contacted Chris. He was very professional and patient with us as we searched for our replacement vehicle. When we didn't find the one that had all the options we were looking for, he had one brought over from another dealership that did! Couldn't have asked for better experience!

Straight forward and to the point, but where time needs to be taken to considers things one is allowed that. I really liked that you don't fool around. I bought my truck in and also asked for trade in value. There was no "we'll get back to you" or I'll call you. You all got goin' on this right away and I received a fair value for my old truck. In other words you all provided me with all the information I needed to make a decision on the spot. I really like that.

I want to commend Northside Ford for hiring excellent employees like Jason Pelmear to guide customers in the process of purchasing a new vehicle. My husband and I have dealt with other dealerships whose employees made us feel like they did not really want us help us, but were only interested in making a sale and we were an inconvenience to them. I personally spoke to Jason by telephone many times over the 2 weeks prior to us coming to Northside Ford and he was always friendly and went over and above to work with our schedules and never tried to push us into anything. We were having problems with the Toyota Tundra we traded in and had to wait for the transmission to be replaced before we could meet with Jason about trading it in. From the time we arrived we were greeted warmly by each of the employees we came in contact with. Jason took us to his office and we discussed where we were and what we might be able to buy. My husband prefers the Ford F-150 and we were hoping to be able to afford a new F-150 if possible. Jason immediately looked over their currently inventory and found a truck that he felt we could trade up to. Needless to say we were thrilled that we could with our trade in have a brand new Ford F-150 before leaving the dealership. Needless to say we will recommend to our family and friends that they should go see Jason at Northside Ford for an honest deal and great customer service.

Javier & Tommy from the quick lane got me in an out in a timely manner. I called ahead of time and they were waiting for me to arrive. I observed the tech change my oil. I believe his name was Russell. He did a very thurough and complete job. I saw him top off all of my fluids. He noticied that I was missing a valve cap when he was checking my tire pressure, so he went ahead and put one on. Great job guys. fixing to bring my wife's 2008 focus in next.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, plus they do not try to trick you into service or repairs which are not needed. This is a HUGE plus, please make sure this never changes. For those of us not experts in automobiles there are many service locations, including even dealerships, which take advantage of this to gouge customers. You guys do not do this and therefore will always have our business.

Over the years I have learned at approximately what time of day is best to get service quickly with the least amount of "wait time." The service advisor's were very professional, polite and helpful. I was sitting on an outside bench and when my truck was brought around by the mechanic/technician upon completing "The Works" task I asked him a few questions and he was very nice and provided answers in a clear, concise method. Realizing that I will be needing a set of new tires in about 5,000-10,000 miles I asked the svc. advisor for a estimate, he provided me with the information and even printed it out for my perusal. Very nicely done and very much appreciated.

Chris Peterson was very helpful right from the beginning when we emailed for a price off the internet. He beat everyone hands down. He followed up with a phone call but he was NOT pushy. He didn't feel like a car salesman. Your staff was great from getting us the truck we wanted at a great price to getting Ford financing. It felt like dealing with friends not an impersonal transaction. We enjoyed working with your staff especially Chris and got great service. Most of all, watching my husband drive his truck with a big smile on his face is priceless! You have our business now.

Will definitely buy our next new vehicle from Chris and will recommend him highly to anyone that we know who is buying a new vehicle.

My salesperson, Carlos, went to exptremes to find me exactly the car that fit my needs. I had an old beat up car and he and the team managed to get me way over what it could have been sold for retail. I also had credit issues and being retired, my income was cut less than 40% of my full-time salary. I wish I had gone to Northside Ford 4 years ago, when I thought the only alternative was driving an inexpensive, beat up, unsafe car. I now can drive a decent car. Thank you.

I got to the Quick Lane a few minutes after 7 PM (the closing time) and they were kind enough to go ahead and service my car for me. I really needed an oil change. They were so pleasant to me and treated me so well rather than being annoyed that I got there after closing. Outstanding customer service.

Everyone is just amazing. When i got my car there they were very accommodating. Then they sent me cookies as a thank you. A year later the same sales representative called to make sure my car was doing good. Also i drive my car rarely so i had to get my oil changed and i was worried that since it had been a year they would not still let me get the free oil change. But they did! Also, the staff in that department were just as kind. Thank you so much for making buying a new car a good experience!

Paco Salguero listened to what I wanted. He searched and worked closely with other dealerships to get me a car that--while not *exactly* perfect (the exterior color was my fourth choice and the interior color my third)--was more than acceptable to both myself and my husband. (Apparently, Ford does not make a V6 Premium Mustang in gray, silver, or deep impact blue with charcoal or stone leather in MANUAL transmission with a 202A and comfort package--and, if they do, it's sold before it hits the lot!) I cannot express my thanks to this gentleman in getting me into a vehicle that I love; thanks, as well, to the mechanics, body shop, and general manager for making this experience the best car shopping experience both I and my husband have ever had!

The time taken was dedicated to our needs. I called Skip earlier that day and asked if the 2012 Cadillac CTS was still available and that my wife and I would be there between 4:00 and 4:30. When we showed up at 4:10, the car was parked right up front and Skip was waiting for us with the keys. I have been buying vehicles from Northside Ford for 17 years and will not go anywhere, else. As long as they have what we need, we will be coming back.

Rueben was extremely knowledgeable, super friendly and an excellent salesperson. We would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to purchase a new car. He went out of his way to show us the different vehicles, taking the time to explain the different features on each model and allowed me to test drive different models. We did not feel pressurized in any way at all. After care service was also fantastic and he called on more than one occasion to check everything was to our satisfaction.

We were looking to upgrade our F-150 from a previous purchase from Nothside Ford and made that our first stop again. Jason Palmear's impressive friendly customer oriented service allowed us to shop and choose what we were looking for. He made us aware of all the options that come with an F-150 and then asked what in particular we were looking for. The even more impressive experience was he was able to deliver a few different choices with the options we were looking for. There was none of the "try to sell me something I don't want" or "push certain inventory" hassles. He made our experience easy and enjoyable to be excited of our purchase. Furthermore, Jason went above and beyond working with us showing a direct bottom price without any stressful haggling. We strongly recommend Northside Ford of San Antonio, Tx and Jason Palmear to any vehicle hunters out there if they are looking for the ultimate customer service with a friendly staff that will give you an OUTSTANDING overall buying experience with the best pricing! Thank you Jason Palmear and Nothside Ford.

Left with a 2014 F150 XLT Black with more features than we expected, but very happy with the selection.Will definitely recommend Northside Ford, and will be back when it's time to get another vehicle. This is my 3rd Northside Ford vehicle.

Charles Young was my salesman for my purchase of a 2014 Ford Fusion. Trust me, I HATE buying a new car and the hassle of it. But I was surprised to find that it was a painless process from beginning to end. I don't think I've ever met anyone more suited to be in the position he's in as Charles. He's not a sales person as much as a customer service liaison. Each person he met in his office, in my company, was greeted with genuine warmth and a desire to help. I didn't drink anything in his presence, so I know he didn't slip anything into my coffee, but I felt at ease and comfortable with what I consider an expensive purchase. He's just a nice person with a great personality. Bottom line - I bought my car from Northside Ford because of their service department. I'd taken my Mercury Sable there for a few years. They never tried to sell me service I didn't need. Nor did I ever have to come back because of a problem. I didn't expect the new car purchase to exceed the experiences I've had with the service department, but it did. It was stress free and enjoyable.And I love my new car.

I appreciated the smile that my salesman Jacob always had even when I kept flopping between my decision for a vehicle, and even more so the fact that I didn't feel overwhelmed or embarrassed to hold off on my purchase to decide what to buy. Other past experiences at other dealerships pressured me into buying by bargaining on the spot so as to not leave without buying. Jacob answered all my questions, took me out on 3 test drives, gave written information of vehicles test drove and followed up the next day with me. I returned and made a satisfactory purchase

I talked to Chris Fitchett he basically sold me the truck but then we went inside and the sales manager was the classic car dealer who would not answer my question with anything but a question until he dismissed me because he was finished. he never gave me a price on the truck other than the window sticker.

From the time I initially made an on-line inquiry, to walking through the door at the dealership, to driving off the sales lot with my new pick-up truck, I was in great hands. Charles Young, my salesman, was great and he took an avid interest in making sure my buying experience was top-notch. I knew what vehicle I wanted on the lot and had done some research on the vehicle, but he made more information available and answered all of my questions. It was the best experience I have ever had when buying a new vehicle and I would recommend Charles Young to my friends and family.Not only Charles, but everyone else I came in contact with at the dealership was very friendly and they made sure I was taken care of. Kudos to Northside Ford!!By the way, I love my truck!!

I had just gone in to get my 2009 FORD EXPLORER SPORT TRAC service and walked around the lot during the quick time of service. I had seen a 2010 FORDN F-150 LARIAT and like it very much. I had known Charles Young for some time and he showed me the truck as a courtesy while waiting on service my truck. He did not pressure me, just let me look, then test drive the truck on the used lot and then I fell in love with it. The FORD F-150 Lariat has the interior room that was perfect, and the extras - well, let's just say I am very surprised that it has so much more than I thought it could have :) . Everyone at NORTHSIDE FORD is friendly and have a quality that makes anyone feel at ease. The service department has always been quick, the waiting has been minimal and the atmosphere it super. THANKS for have a great facility and I will let others know, this is the place to deal with and be glad of the results.

I was interested in a red clear coat 2014 Ford Escape SE model with a black interior. After looking a several other dealership websites, I noted all of their SUV's had light colored interiors. Well, Northside Ford had one in stock, so I sent an online inquiry. John Tovar called me within half an hour and sent me an e-mail price quote which was a few dollars less than other internet sales sites had listed. I drove from Wimberley to San Antonio, a trip of some 80 miles, and made the purchase in less than two hours. They gave me a very fair trade in value for my 2012 Honda CRV, which sealed the deal. John was very friendly, polite, low key, and didn't push me to make a decision in any form or fashion. From start to finish it was a very good experience working with John.

This is the 3rd vehicle we've purchased from Northside. We have always been pleased with the service. Our experience this time was even better than before. When we came in with some credit issues our salesman, Jose Puentes, treated us with respect and took the time to follow up with us while we got our paperwork together and listened to what we needed to make the deal happen. I think our time in the finance office set a record, in a good way.... Thank you! When we are ready to upgrade our Dodge truck, I'm confident we'll be back for a Ford.

I got the new kid on the block adviser. Although he is new, he was just a friendly and competent as the old guys. He explained all the results on the inspection report. He even numbered in order of urgency, the items I need to have taken care of. I appreciated that!

Everyone was very friendly and helpful, especially Charles Young. I felt comfortable talking with him and he also made me feel like I could trust him. He was very knowledgeable and very patient with me. He also went out of his way to help me. Wayne Alderman was also very helpful and went out of his way to see that I was satisfied in having my questions answered and requests fulfilled. These two employees are top notch and I would definite recommend my friends to do business with them.

Our salesman, Larry Ramirez, was very patient & knowledgeble on the vehicles we were interested in & really worked with us to get where we needed to be on our trade-ins & price on vehicle & to be able to get the most for the money we were willing to spend. I am actually going back to go over all the computer stuff in our vehicle once I get a little more familiar & know the questions I need to ask. Larry was grest, everyone there was great.

More importantly it's doesn't matter what staff member I have contact with because they all provide exceptional customer service I never have to worry about talking to the same person! Jesse took care of me this weekend and he was very polite, very knowledgable and professional. Northside has the best service and I will never use any other service shop.

Jason Palmear gave me a much better experience than the other 3 dealers I was working with. He was honest, fair, and didn't try and back door me. I appreciated his hard work and took his time to make sure the we had an agreed upon deal. I also worked with him and 1 finance gentleman. Other dealers had me working with 4 or more people, it was frustrating and ridiculous. Very happy working with Jason.

I shopped on-line, and when I arrived, the salesman Charles Young greeted me warmly. We talked about our mutual experiences in Uvalde, Texas, and people we both new, even though we didn't know each other. We drove my car,a new Mustang, and continued to enjoy our visit. There was no quick trip to office to sign papers, or to push for a close of the sale. Charles was patient, and thorough, when explaining about my new car, he had it preped, and filled-up with gas. He offered to drive the car across town, while I drove my vehicle home, then I drove Charles back. On our drive, back Charles showed me how the different features worked; he also, help me pre-set my radio stations. Charles went over all the materials in the Car Handbook, and Roadside Protection Information, a well as how the Warranty works. I am a Retired School Teacher, and if I had to Give Charles a grade, on Service, friendlyness, and knowledge of his product, it would be an A+. I left with a new car, and a new friend.

I was reluctant to go to a Car Dealership,like most. I expected to get a quick sales pitch, have papers shoved in my face, pushed a pen, and told to "sign here". I was warmly greeted by Charles, who quickly engaged me, in a conversation about the town I grew-up in(Uvalde), and found that Charles had also lived in Uvalde, Texas. We talked at length about people, that we both knew, even though we had never met. I discussed with Charles, some ideas I had about customizing the Mustang, in which he showed interest. Charles had several good recommendations, and even gave me the name of a place, and the phone number, where other customers had graphics done. We finally got around to discussing the Mustang, that I was interested in purchasing. Charles didn't try to flip me to another autombile, or quibble, about the price, that we had discussed on-line. I suggested that I drive the Mustang, and he quickly accommodated my request. We drove the "Stang" for around 15 minutes, long enouth for me to know, that I had to have this car. Never once, did Charles try to sell me on the car, he allowed me to sell myself, I felt completely at ease. Eventually, after more conversation about a town we both had lived in, I told him I wanted the car, and was ready to pay cash, and sign the necessary papers. Charles had my car serviced, washed, and filled-up with gas, while we completed the paper work. Since I drove my truck, he offered to follow me home, if I could drive him back. We had interesting conversation, on the way back, and Charles showed me how to use the radio, and other instruments on the Steering Wheel, and Control Panel. He made it clear, that I should call him, if I had any questions, and not to hesitate to call him for any need that might arise.I not only left with the car of my dreams, at a great price, but a new friend. It was the most pleasant experience, I've ever had purchasing an automobile.Michael S. Ambler

From A to Z, Northside Ford and it's employee's Julio Romo, Philip Carroll and Charlie Rodriguez took care of my exceptional neediness when I purchased my new 2014 Ford Escape SE. I can't be content with a big purchase until I exhaust all measures for finding the perfect car for the best price. In fact, I was in contact with 12 Ford dealerships throughout Texas to find the best deal. My purchase came down between Sterling Mccall in Houston Texas and Northside Ford in San Antonio. Not only did Julio and Phil constantly work with me and keep me updated on their inventory they worked with Charlie to get me the best possible price. My last car purchase was in 2006 and I've never been happier with a new car. I was also considering a Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring. For those of you comparing Compact SUV's make sure you test drive the CX-5 on a highway. The Ford Escape has considerably better "get up and go" than the CX-5. Ecoboost is an amazing turbo technology! Thank you Phil, Julio and Charlie. I won't forget about your service! Especially when a friend is asking where to start looking for a new car or when I'm do for another.

I bought a new car and out of the 9 months I have had it it was in the service department for 3 months. It took 7 times of taking it in for them to fix it and 3 weeks sitting in the shop not including all the other times there was an issue and I having to take it in . This was just of the issues I had. This car has been in and out of the shop for multiple recalls. This was not a good car and should have been consider a lemon car and not to be sold. I have recently traded this car in due to this dealership not willing to buy it back. However I have bought an a extended warranty and have been trying to work with Jerry on the paperwork to get it cancelled and to refund the money for this warranty. I have called numerous times and he is always too busy to take my call and has yet to return my phone calls for the past 2 weeks. I even tried contacting his boss Eric and he has yet to return my phone calls as well. This dealership and its employees do not care about their customers. The customer service is horrible and the service received is even worse! I would never recommend this dealership to anyone and will never go back.

NORTHSIDE FORD--All three employees (David,Charles, and Jerry) that assisted me were very personable and accommodating.David treated me like the "loyal" customer that I am (purchased last car in 3/2007 with all service done at same dealer since then).He worked with me on the price of the Used car--purchased (2013 with 16K miles). Charles-sales and Jerry-finance were very thorough in their explanations about any paperwork or functions on the car. Charles has asked that I come back soon so that he could instruct me on additional functions available in the car. He also had a way about him that mademe feel very at-ease. He understands that the consumer is making a large-item purchase which can make a person a little stressed. I definitely recommend Charles as the salesperson to see.

I Chose North side Ford after looking at various reviews. Also I was in the Market for a 2013 Ford Explorer Limited. North side Ford had the largest Selection, and exactly what I was looking for. I live in North Dakota and Started talking with John Tavor about a month out from my Arrival in San Antonio. He answered all my questions, provided me with my requests and helped me locate what I wanted. Upon Arrival John was helping another customer so Hugo helped me narrow my choices down to one and took me for a test drive. All in all I am very pleased with the services provided and they were always upfront with me about everything..they also went that extra mile to take car of me as well as dealing with my trade-in.

We were attracted to the dealership by the vastness of the inventory visible from HW 281, a main artery through San Antonio. The appearance of the dealership was impressive to us. We were met by an enthusiastic sales person, Mickey Cao. He told him the type of new vehicle we were looking for (crossover SUV) and the price range ($30,000-$36,000) and he ushered us to three SUV types that met the criteria. He showed us the various options and capabilities of each, then took us for demo rides to demonstrate the capabilities. He also showed us options on demo automobiles and some used ones with low mileage. He arranged for quick appraisal of our trade-in vehicle and introduced us to the manager on duty, John. Another salesman, Reuben (or Jason), showed us the vehicle again the next day when Mickey was off. We returned the next day for another look with Mickey, and we were able to negotiate a great offer and reasonable value for our trade. The manager, John, was very reasonable and pleasant in considering the blue book values and competing offers on our trade in vehicle, and we were satisfied. The paperwork went quickly, and we had a great new Ford Escape within a couple of hours. We have owned probably 20 vehicles in 44 years of marriage and a 30-year military career and rate this 2014 Escape as tied for first place alongside a new BMW 328i in 1999.The receptionists were friendly. The dealership showroom and new coffee bar are great. We enjoy Northside Ford.

I found a vehicle online that I was interested in and filled out the online appointment request. Within 30 minutes or so I was contacted by Jason Pelmear and an appointment was set. I met with Jason on the arranged date and time. Jason was excellent, he took his time, answered all my questions and never pressured me for the sale. I was short on time that day and told Jason I would be back in a day or two to look at my trade-in. Once again, no pressure to "Get it done now".A day or two later I took my trade in to be appraised. The apprasial was fair and we went ahead with the deal. If you are look for a professional, that will answer all your questions and not put on the high pressure ask for Jason Pelmear.ThanksBill London

We came in wanting a specific vehicle, and in the course of the transaction, went with a totally different vehicle.Marty Martinez was extremely patient, worked with us and got us the vehicle. He even stayed late for us so we couldget all the paperwork done that night. The next day, he spent another hour getting us familiarized with the vehicle's featuresbefore we drove it off the lot. This is the second vehicle we have bought from Marty and the third or fourth from Northside Ford.We strongly recommend Marty and his great service!

My husband and I went in just to look and because Charles was so good to us on our last purchase we went straight to him we ended up finding a f250 that Charles gave us a price I could not turn down. Monday is our anniversary so Charles help me surprise my husband we both was telling him that the price was to much and Charles even went a long and told him that he had sold it (no lie he did to me). But between Charles and Wayne they were the best and made it happen. Thanks to both of you he has not stoped look at it. Thanks Ccooper.

On Friday, August 30, I took my car to the Northside Ford dealership because it was having issues starting. I called in advance and reviews sounded good, so I thought i had picked the right place. When I had my car towed the first day a salesman named Julio Romo assisted me and when I explained the situation he asked if I would be interested in just trading the car in as opposed to paying to get my car serviced. I left my car where he told me (at service) and I briefly talked to him about some cars. I had to go to work so I made an appointment with him the next day at 12pm. I was there 15 minutes early and he had another salesman assist me, who's name I don't recall. That man showed me a couple cars and then we did some paperwork and went over numbers. They wanted me to put a fairly large deposit down so I told him I would think about it and return another day. Since I didn't come in looking for a car, obviously I wouldn't have a deposit ready. When I asked this guy about servicing my car he seemed like he wasn't interested and told me to just walk over to service at talk to them.The next day, on Sunday, I went back to the dealership, but this time with the deposit and I was ready to actually purchase the car. I told the receptionist that I didn't have an appointment and she said that was fine and that Julio would be with me shortly. After about an 45 minute wait a manager saw me waiting and he offered to help me. He was able to get Julio who then said he was busy, but would have another guy help me. That gentleman (a tall African-American male) comes up to me and says "Do you have the money for the deposit?" I told him "Yes" and then he told me to wait and I waited another 30 minutes. I noticed him and Julio going back and forth so I asked what was wrong. The African-American salesman (I apologize, I did not catch his name) told me they couldn't find my paperwork and he asked me to come back the next day. I explained I was too busy to return the next day because I had to work. Julio then gave me a new credit application since they lost my previous one and said that he was going to the gas station and would be back in 10 minutes. Another hour went by and I still hadn't been helped (despite seeing Julio back at the dealership) so I spoke to that manager again and told him I was leaving. He apologized and said he would speak to Julio and make sure I was taken care of the next day.Now we're on Monday and I received an early morning call from an apologetic Julio. He connected me with a gentleman from finance who asked me to fill out ANOTHER credit application over the phone. I did and he told me he'd get back to me with an offer. He called me 30 minutes later with an offer that was out of my price range,b ut said he'd get back to me within an hour with a new offer. Two hours went by with no call, so I called him back. He told me he was still working on it, but he'd get back with me when it was ready. By this point I went to another dealership (North Park Lincoln) and they recommended I go talk to the people at Northside in person. I went back to Northside and they still hadn't looked at my car (Keep in mind I was initially told it would be looked at Saturday) and Julio made no mention of the offer they were supposed to be giving me. He offered no apology, didn't even ask me if I was still interested in a car or anything. He said, "You must be here to pick up your keys." He went and looked for my keys and handed them to me. I was so offended after all the time I wasted that he couldn't at least apologize for blowing me off. I took my car to North Park Lincoln and within 1 hour they were able to appraise my car, tell me the service it needed (a simple starter moldule) give me a reasonable offer and got me into a 2012 Hyundai with less than 20,000 miles on it. I am baffled as to why the people at Northside Ford suggested I buy a car and then were so disorganized and offered little help. Their only focus seemed to be making money and not making sure the customer was happy. I was so much more pleased with the service I received at North Park.

We first went to Northside Ford when the revamped Fusion came out. We in the end decided to wait. Jason Pelmear understood and didn't pressure us to purchase a vehicle; he instead asked that we give Northside Ford the opportunity to show their vehicles if and when we decided purchase. A few months later we decided to purchase a Ford Flex and the experience wasn't like so many other car dealerships. We didn't get swarmed by the entire sales staff as soon as we got out of our car. We instead were approached by one person who asked if they could help us. He led us inside so we could meet with Jason. We decided on a Ford Flex and Northside Ford bent over backwards to get us the one we wanted. They offered to order one specific to our liking if there were other options available in their inventory. In the end we purchased one on the lot. Once that was done, the paperwork to finish up the purchase was thorough but fast and not an all day affair. This is the first domestic vehicle I have ever purchased and I'm quite happy with it. Northside Ford has gained a repeat customer.

What a GREAT experience. Jose stayed with us, showed us the vehicles and then took us on a test ride. We forgot about the loan on the trade in, but that was no problem and was fixed quickly. My Wife drove out of the dealer with her new car in 3 hours. What a great dealer and an excellent Sales person. Jose Puentes deserves an A +++.

Our experience in dealing with Northside Ford (NSF) to buy a new F-150 Platinum could not have been better. Historically, it takes us a great deal of time to decide upon the right vehicle at the right place from the right person and dealership. NSF's representative, Jason Pelmear, could not have been a better fit for us as he was most patient, answered all our questions without blowing smoke, and waited for us to reach our decision. In the end, we felt very comfortable with Jason, knowing he would do what we wanted and what was in our interest as far as the buying process went. If it had not been for Jason, we probably would not have purchased our new truck from NSF - Jason is a superb representative and easy to deal with. We highly recommend him to anyone wishing to buy a new Ford. Oh, btw, the new Platinum we have is absolutely indescribable; it drives like a dream and has all the bells and whistles. Ford truly has an outstanding product in this truck.

We were in the market for a new truck to pull a new travel trailer. We have all our maintenance done at Northside. We went in on Friday evening and Mike helped us. He started by asking what we were looking for and drilled down to why we needed an F250. He did mention that F150's have a good towing capacity. We explained that we wanted to buy something over what we needed now incase in a few years if we buy a larger travel tailer the truck can pull it. He asked if we would consider a Certified Pre Owned and explained what that meant. He showed us a 2010 F250 and also some 2013 F250's. We settled on the 2010 and love it. Mike is a good individual and was very helpful. I all the cars I have purchased in the past 35 years I have never had a sales person get so excited. I think he may have been more excited than my husband and I. It was a very good buying experience. Thank you.

I went to this dealership a couple times. Once with a friend that was looking for a used vehicle. The sales person said he wouldn't even give us a price on a used truck until we were qualified for a loan, so we left. I went back later to get some work done on my FX4. They did the work that I paid for but that was it. I didn't get the feeling that the service writer could care less about what i had to say. I told him about a leak around my sunroof and he made it sound like it was my responsibility to take my truck to the trim guys at his work to get it looked at. Don't they all office under the same roof? The work was done that I asked to be done but that was it, minus the sunroof leak. I have taken my truck to Mcombs Ford West to have much less expensive work done and they asked repeatedly if I was taken care of. I left with a wasted truck, didn't ask for it to be washed it just was, and at no extra charge. I also received a phone call from them to make sure that they performed service to my satisfaction. The only thing I got from North Side Ford was a $600 bill and a solicitation in the mail that North Side wanted to buy my truck and sell me a new one. If they weren't so close to my office, I would have never gone there. I promise you I will never go back.

We bought a 2013 Ford F150 SuperCrew FX2 from Arthur Bryant. This is our first Ford vehicle ever, but the whole process at Northside Ford was painless. I originally requested info online (this is how we got with Arthur Bryant). Arthur was extremely helpful and very informative about the whole process. He also knew everything about the truck we were buying. (We have been to many dealerships where you can tell all they have done is read the book) I would highly recommend Northisde Ford and Arthur Bryant to anyone looking for a GREAT deal! Hopefully I will be back to buy another vehicle from Arthur Bryant soon!

Michael was very helpful, honest, and knowledgable. His customer service was excellent and his attitude/sales approach made the experience a positive one. My wife and I will definitely come back to Northside Ford to buy a truck from Michael when we decide to do it.

I'm a 53 year old man that has bought 17 vehicles in my life. The 2010 Toyota truck I bought from Northside Ford was my last purchase and by far the worst car buying experience I had ever encountered. It's been six months since the ordeal and a week don't go by that I don't get sick over the whole incident. The only good thing is that through it all I like my truck, which is important. Mr. Pelmear called several times and sent several letters to me prior to the day in question. On the day, I walked in at the appointment time and there was no Pelmear. Matter of fact he double booked the time, and I waited 0.5 Hour with a very rude receptionist until he appeared and handed me off to some guy who knew nothing about me and the communications already established. The next 5 hours was misery, I wanted the truck, but was insulted with every smarmy low down used car man trick in the book. He actually changed numbers on the computer after we agreed on the prices, THEN blamed it on a typo and laughed. A 2000 dollar typo!! They refused to tell me my interest rate, only what my monthly payment would be. I asked many times and could not get a straight answer. We agreed on new tires and agreed on the same brand, but they tried to put the cheapest most unsafe tire on my truck! This is just a few of the many dirty tricks that the whole staff had up their sleeves. The truth is, I walked out twice but in the end I was worn down by the whole ordeal. In the end, I enjoy my truck, but am very keen to steer all and any away from NORTHSIDE FORD!! I work at a large employer in the San Antonio area (over 3000 people), and not to be mean, but get great solace from turning people away from NORTHSIDE FORD. I tell them to go to Red Mccombs instead. I believe I've been successful several or more times. HORRIBLE!!!!

We had a wonderful experience at Northside Ford with Chris Brand. Over the past few months, we have gone in several times and he has always been extremely polite, patient and helpful. He knows the cars and is able to respond accurately to questions. Chris did not push the expensive models but let us decide what best fit our needs. He has arranged for syncing our phone once a compatible one is purchased and encouraged us to call him anytime we have a question or concern with our new car. He is also going to arrange for a modification to the car that we requested. We feel we received a fair price for the car and that Chris did his best to ensure we got the highest trade-in amount possible. All of the dealership staff that we met were extremely courteous, friendly and helpful.

My husband and I had just left a Buick dealer and had decided to buy a 2013 Buick Verano. It was the color I wanted and the price range but I needed more legroom in the back seat for our parents. On our way home I decided to stop at the last minute to check out NS Ford. It was already about 8:30 p.m. Our salesman, Joe Lopez at NS Ford, showed us the 2013 Ford Fusion and I knew it was the right car for us. It was almost closing time and Joe took us for a test drive. He did not rush us to buy. He even stated he wanted us to be happy with our purchase. We are happy to pass out Joes business cards to family and friends. Great Job Joe!

Charles Young did an incredible job helping my dad decide which car would be best for my brother and I. We went to the dealership looking for a good affordable car that we could both use and my dad ended up getting two because he was pleased with the price Charles was able to get us. He also did a fantastic job answering all of our questions and and made the whole process clear and simple for my dad. I would highly recommend the Northside Dealership for anyone looking for a new car and i would especially recommend asking for Charles Young because he does such a great job, he does not just try to sell you cars he actually gives you his honest opinion and and lets you decide whats best for you even if its something you can't find at his dealership.

This is the 2nd new vehicle I have purchased from Skip. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and very honest. Being a female, I do not know a whole lot about cars, and he keeps it to my level and I do not feel taken advantage of due to my lack of knowledge. What matters to me is looks, performance, service and price. Skip keeps it real without any pressure. I have complete confidence in Skip and Northside Ford!He is the BEST !

I initially contacted Northside Ford because they were the only dealers around who had the car that I wanted to consider, a white 2013 Ford Explorer XLT. I was going to trade in my 2005 explorer and of course wanted the best price I could get for it. Well, the car that I wanted had just been sold to another buyer and there was a vehicle at the factory which I could wait for. This did not seem like a very good deal to me, but Charles seemed so caring and wanted to please my wife and I. Well we decided that we could wait a week for the new car to be shipped from the factory, rather than visiting another ford dealer, because of Charles' treatment of us. We initially balked at the price the dealer was going to give us for our car, so we came in with a counteroffer. Our counteroffer was denied but a dealer counteroffer which exceeded ours by $100, took us by surprise. Charles and David had talked it out and felt that was a fair price for our trade-in. Since we had to wait for our vehicle, we started looking at trade-in prices for our old car and found that an additional amount was deemed appropriate by a car buying agency. So we took this new price and went to Northside Ford. We met with Charles and he turned us over to Marc. We had some additional questions on our financing paperwork, which we had already signed, and each of the questions was answered to our satisfaction by a very professional individual named Marc. I then brought up the price we were receiving for our trade-in and Marc brought David in. They talked and accepted our new counteroffer, so that made us extremely happy. The day the vehicle arrived, we were chomping with anticipation. Charles called and told us the vehicle was ready for us and all he needed was for us to show up. We arrived at Northside Ford and the vehicle was primed and ready. Charles professionalism showed again as he ran us through the set up of the vehicle along with all its electronic gadgetry. We were completely satisfied with our experience at Northside Ford. We have never received better treatment from any dealerships in all of our car buying years (I am 68 and my wife is 70 years young). Thank you Northside Ford, Charles Young, Marcelo Marc Canlas, and David Digger Starnes for this wonderful experience, we can now see why you are the top dealer in San Antonio.

We went to Northside looking for a new family vehicle, and we left with new family friends in addition to a great deal, and great customer service. Mr. Charles Young went well above and beyond to find a vehicle with exactly the right equipment for us. When we got close, Northside literally had the bells and whistles added to our vehicle, in the form of a Touchscreen Navigation, SYNC, and Back-up Cam. (not normally available on lower end 2013 Escape SE models) Their professionalism, no-pressure attitudes, and willingness to take the time to explain EVERYTHING to us made has earned them our repeat business, and I'm telling all my friends.

I have been driving Ford trucks for 35 years and can honestly say their track record was perfect....until now. Northside Ford in San Antonio is a joke and I don't see how they are still in business. The sales manager is a crook in sheeps clothing. He sent the salesman to me with his best deal which was $6,000.00 higher than the price posted on the internet. I then got a sales pitch about how my truck was "Certified" (which doesn't mean anything) and would be guaranteed bumper to bumper for 12 months etc. Buyer beware. This is a trick. My truck didn't even make it all the way to my house from the dealership before my "Certified" truck broke down. At that point I had to start dealing with the service department which lost my truck and didn't get to it till the next week. The truck has been back for repairs and it's a fight each and every time. As I am about to make my third payment I have decided that I need to try and get rid of this piece of junk and buy from another dealer that services customer. Please save yourself. Go to a different dealership. I wouldn't wish the "Northside Ford Nightmare" on my worst enemy.Rick Waters

Shady dealer, tons of adds, went back on a used car deal as well. Was going to purchase a used and a new car. Tons of lies. Telling me a carfax cost $300 for each vehicle. Add worthless window etching $399, Nitrogen $50, Tint $250. The inside is a dump and the place is associated with Red Mccombs.

This was by far one of the best car buying experiences we have had. We never felt pressured by Marty, he knew everything about the car we were interested in and was able to get us a better loan than even our bank was offering. We are very pleased with our new car and the whole experience that we had with Northside Ford, they are a great bunch of folks.

This is the 3rd car we have purchased from Northside Ford. We have worked with Charles Young and David Starnes, both are great to work with. We have worked primarily with Charles, he is outstanding. We bought a Escape on Monday and he spent an hour going over all the special features with us to make sure we understood what the car could do. He recommended we return in a couple days and sit down with him again, that the vehicle had so many features he couldn't cover them all at one time without overloading us. That was much appreciated. We got a great deal from them as we did the other 2 times. We will definitely go back to see Charles when it is time to replace our 2001 Ford Windstar.

Charles was not a pushy salesman, he simply presented the 2013 Ford Escape to me showing me all the features and offered me to do a test drive and I made my decision based on what I saw and the test drive. I had a great experience dealing with him and I'd recommend him to anyone wanting to purchase a ford.

My overall experience at Northside Ford was excellent. Charles Young was personal, yet still professional on helping me find the right car. Mr. Young is the reason why I am giving 5 out of 5 for all the categories on rating this dealership. He answered all my questions, and if he did not know the answers he would go out of his was to find out. Unlike other sales representatives, Mr. Young made sure I was getting the "bang for my buck" and was not pressuring me to buy any car that I was not sure of. I highly recommend any first time buyer to go visit Northside Ford and get Mr. Young to help you get your car.

Spoke with Jason, due to divorce and issues looking for low mileage or new car that could fit my needs and budget. Jason only showed me used cars one pushing ford edge for 31900, I could have got new cheaper, not as many upgrades, asked about rebates just told would not have as many upgrades this would be best. Looked on line while he left for 30 min and new edge was on lot for 26000. My father called wood house ford in Blair Ne they felt a little high also . I have bought ford since 1990, this has been worst experience I have had with Ford.

I was brought by a friend who bought a car from Vivian last year. At the moment we walked in she welcomed us with a smile and she didn't hesitate to find my a right car with a right price range. She helped me a lot to walk out with a brand new car and with a great deal. I will definitely recommend Vivian Aguon to any person I will learn needs a car. So congratulations for having such a wonderful employee!

Mr. Anthony was extremely responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Of the two dealerships from which I inquired, he was the first to respond with an email and a call. His note provided helpful information so that I had a sense of the goalposts. When we got to the dealership, he made us feel welcome. He provided important information regarding various incentives and answered general questions on the purchasing process. I appreciated him checking his inventory to see what other versions/colors/features might be en route to the dealership in the future. We were thrilled to get a chance to test drive our vehicle of interest. We have not yet decided whether to purchase, but we are keeping North Side Ford at the top of our list. On another side note that does not reflect on Mr. Anthony: while we were waiting up front to see him, it seemed as if the receptionist was somewhat distracted. Friendly enough, but we didn't get the sense that she was interested either way whether we purchased a vehicle. Mr. Anthony's sales colleagues, however, came by, greeted us, told us it wouldn't be a long wait, and then took us back to the next waiting room. I appreciated their approach so that we didn't think we were forgotten out in the lobby. Even though every salesperson is somewhat of a 'free agent', it was important to me to see that the North Side team helped one another. In the end, that makes the customer experience more satisfying.

I visited the dealership to start the process of looking into buying a new vehicle to replace my Dodge Nitro I had recently stated to have some maintenance issues with, Jack Clarkson was the salesman that received my wife and I on the lot. I really hadn't decided to replace the vehicle yet but wanted to start looking at pricing. Jack was very professional and helpful, did not try and pressure us but just helped us. We looked at and test drove a 2013 F150 FX2 vehicle and really liked it but wasn't prepared to take on the new payment since the Dodge was virtualy paid off. After Jack did a fantastic job of showing us the value of the new vehicle we decided to take a look at a purchase, during the process he was professional, curtious and helpful and really did a fantastic job of getting us the right deal that worked for us. He had another employee that helped us in the process named Brittany Eutsler as well and she was fantastic as well. I have purchased a lot of vehicles in my life and I will say Northside Ford made it a fun expeience for my wife and I. Once we made the decision to purchase we were done and out of there with our new vechicle in a couple of hours. I would highly recommend this dealership for any future vehicle needs.

I sent out some requests through the Ford website giving very specific details about what I was looking for. The information forwarded to several dealerships was not clear on what I wanted. I had a few dealerships contacting me to tell me they had several models and colors to choose from. One dealer rep contacted me to inquire about the specific details I was looking for since the information given to him was vague. I took a few minutes to provide Ben Eason [Northside Ford] the specifics of what I wanted to include the model, color and accessories that needed to be added before taking delivery of the truck. I received a follow-up call from Ben within an hour with him telling me that he had a truck that met about 95%, if not 100% of my specific requirements. He read off the options from the truck found (luckily, right on their own lot) and wanted to know if I wanted to come take a look at it. I made an appointment with him to come in to take a look at the truck. With exception to the aftermarket accessories I needed, it was a perfect match. We went for a drive that evening; my wife and I knew that this was the one we wanted. We started to get the ball rolling to get everything together to make the purchase while Ben worked on the accessories to get all the numbers together, get the trade-in appraised and start working the numbers. The entire process actually went quicker than expected and pretty smooth.

Barry Wayne at Northside Ford negotiated a fair deal for my high mileage truck. The truck I bought is exactly what I wanted. He hooked up my Sync! Kind and personable is how I'd describe Barry. Big inventory made my decision not so easy selecting my New F-150.

This is the fourth car we've purchased from Northside Ford in San Antonio. The first was bought around 1980 and we've come to Northside anytime we're in the market for a new car. Great people, great service, excellent pricing. For our last two purchases we were assisted by Charles Young, who is amazingly helpful and professional. He takes a person pride in making sure that every step of the purchase process is done right, and goes out of his way to make sure we are satisfied. We would recommend Northside Ford to anyone in the market for a new car. There's no pressure, only staff that wants to help meet what you need. We are, and will remain,Northside Ford. In my opinion, the best dealer in San Antonio.

I enjoyed the professional sales experience with Ms. Aguon. She was very knowledgeable with the Ford Truck Product. She worked with me at length to get the sale closed. She took showed me all the features the F-350 had, and the sync system as well. I enjoyed working with her, there was no high pressure in the sale. I would go back to Northside Ford again for another vehicle. This is my second purchase from Northside Ford and I appreciate the friendly customer service that you get at this dealership. Thanks again Vivian.

One of the best buying experiences I have had at a dealership. Charles is a great rep for the company. I originally was contacted after an internet inquiry and received the information I was looking for immediately. I went to the dealership where Charles walked me through the buying process while my other car was in the service department (also great service). I walked in as a potential customer and walked out as a satisfied customer with a new friend. Thanks Charles.

I am a X-Plan member. I located this vehicle online through the Ford Partner program website. I prefer to deal with a different dealership, but they only had one Explorer LT 4WD and it was Silver. I do not like Silver. I prefer either Grey, Blue or Red. Northside Ford had one on the lot in Red. I proceeded directly to that vehicle and waited until approached by a salesperson. My wait was only about 30 seconds. R. Sanchez approached us and asked if we were interested in that vehicle. I told him yes and that I wanted to look it over and test drive it. He left to get the keys. He returned in about one minute and explained he was helping another customer. He brought another salesperson with him and turned us over to him. Vernon Alexander allowed us to take the vehicle for a drive, then walked us through the purchase process. My experience with Northside Ford and Vernon Alexander (although long and drawn out) was not unpleasant. I would have to say that four and a half hours to purchase a vehicle is a bit lengthy.

Vivian provided outstanding customer service. After describing the vehicle I wanted, she promptly led me to an exact match. Never once did I feel pressured to buy nor was I influenced to purchase a more expensive alternative. Her friendly demeanor and laid back attitude provided a relaxed atmosphere making an often painful experience pleasant. Highly recommended

This was the best experience we have ever had buying a new car. We bought an Escape from this same place in 2009. Robert was way above the normal salesman in every way. He was very informative and straight up with us. He went over every single thing about this Escape, answering every question to our satisfaction. His friendliness wasn't fake and he was very quick about getting things done. The whole deal was done in a quick and efficient manner. We were given a great price and a very good deal.This will definitely be the place we come to in the future for our vehicle needs. Robert is also very professional and a great asset for this dealership. Hopefully, he is recognized as such.Thank you for caring what we think and thank you for this awesome new vehicle.

I just called northside due to a oil leak that I had recently developed on my 2010 F150, the receptionist was very friendly and forwarded my call to a service advisor "Stephanie". That is when things went down hill quickly. I stated to Stephanie that I had an oil leak and I'm assuming that it was coming from the transmission, she immediately cut me off and stated that the "transmission guy was booked for three weeks", I proceed to tell her that it was a leak and it was not an internal transmission problem and I'm also just assuming that it was coming from the transm... You guessed it... I got cut off again and she stated "there are other Ford dealers in San Antonio, you might give them a call to see if they can get you in quicker". Okay..., I understand you guys are busy, can I make an appointment for the oil leak, my turn signal is not operating and I have a lower RPM "clunk" as well... Stephanie: THE SIGNAL IS A BULB AND THE CLUNK IS A MAINTENANCE ITEM THAT SHOULD OF BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AT 30K MIKES!... WTF! I immediately called another dealer that could assist in a professional manner. The other dealer stated that they would get my truck in within 48 hours, diagnose the oil leak, signal (bulbs are fine Stephanie - I would of told you that but you would of cut me off) and lubricate the slip joint under warranty. Thank you!!! I'm also in the market for a Raptor or Platinum since my F150 is paid off and I tend to upgrade about every three years!!!

During my time I have purchased a variety of vehicles. Let me say this...This by far has been the most painless and easy purchase I have ever made. The dealership and Dino Urdiales are top notch in my book. I traveled various dealerships in San Antonio and have had encounters with pushy salesman, obnoxious, and some that do not even know the vehicles they are selling. Dino never pushed and was professional at all times and I highly recommend him to anyone wanting a new Ford. The sales manager which I did not get his name was also great in working rebates in my purchase. I did not feel cheated walking out the door as I usually do when I purchase a car. I felt good and had secured a great deal and was all smiles as I drove my F150 FX4 off that lot! I will definitley become a loyal member to Northside Ford from this point on.

Great experience. Cody Rokahr contacted me in response to an Internet query. He located the vehicles we were interested in before we arrived and met with us at a time we chose, VERY NICE! He worked with us as we carefully reviewed and then made final selection. We were not rushed or coerced into a vehicle we didn't want. We got EXACTLY what we wanted. We LOVE our new Escape/Titanium! THANK YOU Cody Rokahr and Northside Ford.

My truck came in for crank and no start. The service team was great at getting it fixed and back to me in a timely manner. The reason they recieved a lower rating is we spent $1600; they didn't do a courtesy wash and they gave me the truck back with the tank on empty with 0 miles to empty. They claim that they do not wash vehicles after service and that they do not give out fuel.

I drove 700 miles to see my son that I had not see for 3.5 years. I had a oil leek on my rear axle. I was told that my truck was in line and would be completed by the end of the day. The car was started after I gave him the ok to do.that the tech was working on was still in the lot at 5:30 when I left customer service had no contact except when I asked him some thing. Robert said it would be done by the end of the day. From 3-4 no work was done on the trk. at 5:00 the tires were put on and it dook 30 minuets to lower it from the rack and get me the bill. they charged $1600 at a rate of $182 dollars per hour for labor. The other garages if they do a inspection that charge is removed if they do the work not with Northside Ford. . WE spent 5 hours with my son and 9.5 hours with Northside ford. There were 4 adults and 2 children that sat in a hotel room all day. They could of went over and above But they only do what they have to. I feel I was over charged,The service writers do only what they have to and do not go the step beyond. I also heard another customer talking to a salesman that said that he had 2 oil changes and it took 4.5 hours each. Robert also told another customer that he had there parts and that if they came to him that he would take care the them right away. I never has such poor customer service in my life. Robert (98018) did not tell us where to get some coffee and did not tald to me except when I asked him a question. Because I was from out of town and they not ever see me again that they could stick it to me. This should be taken in to effect when it comes to his yearly review.

Larry was pesistent but not pushy. He offered repect without pandering us with the usual goofy sales techniques. He also kept to the schedule that he promised us up front. I asked for a reasonble price and was given that. We closed the deal, switched vehicles and drove home. Pleasant afternoon.

This was my most positive car buying experience to date. Scott and Charlie were extremely helpful and did not pressure me to buy a vehicle. They were interested in finding me a quality vehicle that met my needs. I am a very well qualified buyer and would have left if I felt any pressure to buy a vehicle. I expected to pay a fair price for a quality product with no drama. Northside Ford met this expectation without pressuring me. Scott Saltz even met me on his day off to ensure my car was detailed and the sale was closed out. This dedication is what builds and sustains customer loyalty to the brand and the dealership. By the way, the Northside detailing shop is amazing! The person in charge is a perfectionist who ensures his staff autographs their work with excellence. I witnessed him give my car the "white glove" inspection and it was perfect upon delivery. I take great pride in my work and attention to detail is the hallmark of my trade. I am very happy to do business with a dealership that values service and excellence. Charlie and Scott have mastered the no pressure sales approach and maximized their opportunity to serve their customer. Northside Ford should value these customer-facing employees. I never thought I would have a positive car buying experience but Scott and Charlie at Northside Ford set a new benchmark.

My husband originally went to FORD NORTH SIDE to get an oil change on his 2010 F-150. He came home with a new 2013 F-150. I was very pleased with his deal and he suggested that since NORTH SIDE took in trades, I should go back and see Ms. Vivian to see about an appraisal on my SUV. The following Thursday I went to see Vivian and came home with an AWESOME 2013 FORD FUSION SE. I just had to say I had a wonderful experience and I know next time where to go to get my next car. Thanks A LOT.

I have purchesed 3 vehicles at Northside, both new and used. Latest purchase was September 24th, 2012 - a used F150. Great job by Ryan to get us what we wanted and at a price I felt was fair and reasonable. Easy guy to work with and always responsive to your calls. Northside also has a great service department and some of the best Service Advisors I have encountered.

Northside ford made it easy and painless for me to by my new 2013 focus, I normally cannot stand going car shopping only because the majority of the salesmen I have come across would regularly try to pull a "fast one" on me. I highly recommend Ryan Sandvig to anyone looking to buy a vehicle. I will definitely buy from Ryan again. Both Ryan and Dino both were very professional/ respectable, I went in knowing exactly what I was looking for and these two guys worked with me above and beyond my previous expectations.

I had the pleasure of doing business with Northside Ford several weeks ago. I was in the market for a 2013 Mustang. Jack helped me walk away with the exact car/color combo I wanted at a great price. 1000 miles later I'm loving the car and couldn't be happier with the deal I got. I had a great time dealing with Jack. I would recommend anyone to talk with him if interested in a new or used car.

James Catro came to my house and picked up my family and I in the Ford Fusion we were interested in. It turned out to be the car I wanted and drove home in that night with 0% intrest.

My husband and I rode up to Northside Ford to look for a replacement car for one that was totaled. We were greeted with a smile, by David, who promptly took us around the entire parking lot to show us the different cars to look at. We told him we were on a pretty strict budget, and were looking for a reliable used car to get us from point A to point B. Even with that knowledge, he dedicated a great deal of time to assisting us in choosing a car, and working with our price range. He went above and beyond, especially enlisting the help of a man he referred to as "Shaggy" to check on prices of various used cars as he was showing them to us from the golf cart. We're both military, and so we see people coming into San Antonio all of the time who need cars pronto, and we will DEFINITELY be recommending NSF and David specifically. We feel confident that no one will be disappointed in their service from NSF. There was no pressure, and no games played, we received fast, and efficient service!

My experience here at Northside Ford was excellent. Wayne Alderman was very knowledgeable and at no point did I feel rushed or him trying to push me into a different direction. He took down my needs and what I wanted in a new 2013 Mustang GT and he delivered. The options I wanted set up in the new mustang had to be ordered directly from Ford, and Wayne got it done. The overall sales experience with Wayne was very streamlined, smooth, and pleasant. There was absolutley no gimmicks and that is something I've never described towards a car dealership before until now. They now have a Northside Ford customer for life! Hands down the best Ford dealership in South Texas!

Mr Young was great salesman but FEATURES (SYNC) I was told would come with car (3 year) DO NOT! UNLESS YOU GO TO FORD and PURCHASE! Cannot get anyone to get issue resolved! Mileage not to MRSP, which was a Primary reason for purchasing this particular vehicle.Cannot get resolution! I have done as asked to check the mileage performance, logged all the information and sent it for review. Still no follow up. have called several times as was instructed to do with ANY Questions/Concerns. Either "busy with customers or not in office and will call later" No resolution. I traveled from another city to purchase here, as had made previous purchase in the past and no problems. I have even left message for Sales Manager to call- still no answer. the vehicle would be great except that it does not have the features & performance that was sold to me with the car. The SYNC feature is a big selling feature but does no good if it is not available to you. Salesman is certain it is available and he can assist me with this and other issues but after 3 weeks still has not been taken care.

Had the pleasure of meeting Marty Martinez when my friend Andy Carranza referred me to Northside Ford to look at Mustangs and Ford F150s. I wasn't quit sure what I wanted to buy but I was going to buy since my husband was buying me whatever I wanted as a birthday gift. Marty was very patient and took the time to explain everything about the 2012 Mustang's then he took me to look at the Ford F150s which he didn't need to explain since that is what I already drive. As we were looking at the F150s I saw the black truck that I liked. He worked out a good deal and at the price and monthly payments I liked. That evening when we went in to sign the paperwork everything was as we had agreed no changes were made and my husband signed the contract and I drove off with my 2012 Tuxedo Black Ford F150 I was very happy and so was my husband. I will return to Northside Ford and to Marty Martinez and I will refer my family and friends to them. Thank You Northside Ford and Marty Martinez I am a very happy and satisfied customer.

I have purchased a vehicle from Mr. Castro over two years ago and my fiancee has purchased two vehicles and we are satisfied returning customer. He is an exceptional "Salesman". He is very knowledgeable and there is no pressure when you are browsing for a vehicle. You tell him, what is your budget and he will tell and/or show you the Pros/Cons. I will and you know that already, your the only dealership I will patronize. You have a great "Salesman" there. Until my next vehicle.

An awesome experience--Vivian Agunon made all the difference. I found the entire staff pleasant and helpful, thought it was a strong indicator of customer service and care that Peter Schalk checked in on me several times throughout my visit. Vivian was a first class professional. She was straightforward and honest with me, took the time to explain all to ensure I understood and was confident in the deal. Jerry in finance rounded out a quality team and a quality expereince. I'll return to Northside Ford and will ask for Vivan. Already recommended Northside Ford and Vivian to several friends. The best vehicle buying expereince I've had in over 30 years.

Had an engine oil leak, not bad, just seepage, but wanted to know cost to fix it. I purchased and installed the engine oil dye myself, two days later I dropped off the vehicle for the estimate. I was given an absolutely absurd estimate for the simple repair - I contacted 3 other Ford dealers and got quotes which were just over half the Northside price for repairing the leak. I went in to speak with the Northside rep, to ensure there was no mistake on the outrageous telephone quote. As it turned out, I had heard them correctly. I asked if they would meet the other dealer's quotes, or even just get close; I was told there was no one at the dealership who could make that decision for Northside. I told them in that case, I wanted to pick up my vehicle and take it elsewhere for the repair. Then they told me that I would still have to pay a diagnostic fee of $45 - even though I've been their customer for years and I put in the dye myself! But, they shined a black light on the vehicle and apparently that was worth $45... and they lost a customer in the process. I wonder how many other customers get gouged because they don't do additional research, and just write a check for the bloated repair cost... Henry Ford once said that "service that isn't good, isn't service." Northside is doing their customers a disservice, and I'll make sure to tell everyone I can.

We came to the dealer looking at used cars, as we worked with Domonic and his knowledge of both used and new he showed us we could buy new at a better price and warranty. There was no haggling or stress!!!! Northside and Domonic will be our dealer from now on!!! I really wasn't looking forward to car shopping, to much time and stress, my perception is now very different and this can be an easy, painless and stress free venture. Thank you Domonic and Northside!!

Both Connie and Vivian were good listeners and attempted to identify my preferences and explain how various features and/or models might fulfill those preferences. If anyone in upper level management really cares about my response and takes the time to note these comments, I would submit the following:I am aware from dealing with Ford dealerships over the past 25 years that customers may go away feeling they have been "pushed" or "manipulated" by the overall complexity of the paperwork and finances (or other frustrations), yet these items really have little to do with areas the sales person can control. Penalizing sales people when there is a "less than perfect 5 score" suggests management is not really concerned with the real customer reactions, but the objective is getting the desired score. That further frustrates any negative feeling a customer may have and PREVENTS the customer from being able to really "rate the company." Why should sales people be penalized for things they can't control? The same inappropriate "conclusions" derived by the rating system apply to the customer service people who get penalized when someone actually doing the service may be the controlling entity. It's a failed system. Please change it (if mgmt really wants to know how customers feel "about the dealership."

This has been by far the most pain free car buying experience I've had. Ben Eason was was very helpful in helping be find the right car for me. I explained to him going in what I was looking for and he he found it. He knows the cars and while I did not buy the most expensive car on the lot, I was treated like I had done so. Ben also took time to explain the different systems (cruise control, Sync info, dashboard info systems. I never felt that I was being rushed, yet everything to do with purchase seems to have been completed. Great experience!

I really appreciate the hard work and attention that we recieved at Northside Ford. Great group of people!!!

Purchased car under Z plan, so no haggling. Salesman discussed the car's features at length, even after we had signed our life away, as we spent another hour in the car going over numerous items. He guessed that not much was working its way into my noggin and told me to come back with questions at any time. Only glitch in whole sales proceedure was when we were with the Finance person. We had already spent 3 hours at the dealership and both of us were not up to par by this time. We were just told where to sign each document with limited explanation of each. We ended up going back the next morning to alter the contract as we did not want an extended warranty, which had somehow made it into the vehicle's final price.Two other charges we accepted once told what they were. One was Etching charge which we found out was a dealer charge for something already accomplished on all their products. The other was a GAP charge; insurance to cover the difference, in case of Total or Theft, between car's value and owner's insurance company's payoff.Other than that, it was a good deal all around. This is the fourth vehicle I have bought from Northside, course having a brother who worked for Ford Motor Co has allowed me to do so without the haggling usually associated in car-buying.

When I went in to Northside Ford, I was greeted by Arthur Bryant. I appreciate the fact that he was kind and automatically felt like a friend/customer. When we went to the new truck section he was able to completely describe every asset my new F150 had and was very knowledgeable about the truck from the headlights to the tail lights, as well as the engine and the validity of the individual engine parts inspection dots. I have purchased many vehicles thus far and would highly refer family and friends to Arthur and Northside Ford! My experience was quick, easy and most of all very friendly and not just another commission check! Many thanks to Arthur with continued success! Grover S Garrett II

My wife and I walked in to Northside Ford after visiting 2 other dealerships (GMC & Chevrolet), because a close friend said I really needed to check out the new Ford F150 Platinum Eco-Boost. I was skeptical because I have always been a GMC & Chevy buyer. We were approached by Chris Brand and I told him what we were looking for. We all jumped into the golf cart and went in search of the "truck". My first impression was that it looked really nice. Chris Brand explained some of the important features and then we went for a test drive. I was amazed at this truck and truly surprised, so I began asking Chris all kinds of questions about it. He was so imformative and knowledgeable, and was able to answer all of my questions in detail. He was excited about the truck, in a laid back sort of way, offering imformation without being overbearing. I was so impressed with the truck and Chris, that I was ready to look at the numbers. Chris made it happen! I traded in my Silverado and am now a truly satisfied owner of a Ford F150 Platinum Eco-Boost. Thank you Chris for making my purchase a truly pleasant experience. J Sawyer

I give Victor Torres this rating because he didn't attack us like most do so that was comforting. He was also very informative about all of the details of the truck. He sold us on because he was very informed in what he was doing. I wouldn't have give him any rating short of this.

They were very professional. They worked with me even after I had to stop the deal the first time. I told them if I was to trade that I would be back to them. So I went back to them and we made a deal that I was happy with! This is a good place to deal with. Mike Lozano was the closing salesman and helped me out a lot! I wish them all the best in future sales!Aubrey Shipman

I contacted Northside Ford via the internet. I received a response almost immediately. Although there was a delay in my visiting the dealership (work commitments), Northside Ford met me immediately on the day I called to visit. Dino Urdliales was the gentleman with whom I corresponded via email. I called and he was not at the dealiership at the time I wished to meet him. Dino told me that Marty Martinez would help me and Mr. Martinez most certainly did. Mr. Martinez was incredibly charming, calm, completely NOT pushy in the slightest, patient and accommodating. Mr. Martinez is affable and accessible, and I'm glad I was able to work with him. Out of years of practice, I call him Mr. Martinez as a sign of respect. He always asked me to call him Marty!Northside Ford is huge, comfortable, and inviting. A highlight was getting to meet Tony Franklin! Both Mr. Franklin and Mr. Martinez answered every conceivable question we had and thensome. I purchased a Ford Edge and Mr. Martinez went to great lengths to find the precise vechicle I wanted. I waited for the vehicle to arrive from Houston, and it was completely worth the wait. When it arrived, Mr. Martinez ensured that I understood every element of it. In fact, I drove back to Northside Ford later that evening with some questions on my Sync options and Mr. Martinez walked me into his office and we researched it on his office computer. Mr. Martinez did not indicate in the least that he was inconvenienced by this whatsoever. THAT is service.I would not hesitate to refer anyone to Northside Ford. Mr. Martinez explained that once the car leaves the lot, the relationship does not end. He truly treated us like a part of the group, and we will return in the future as needed.

Our experience at Northside Ford made car buying easy, efficient, and actually fun. The sales reps helped us look and test drive until we found our perfect car. They were always patient, and seemed to enjoy going to get the next set of test drive keys. The qualification, trade in and purchase process was simple.I especially loved the playground in the waiting area to entertain out restless child.

My wife and I were looking for a vehicle so we shoped at Northside ford. Well we puchased her a vehicle our sales guy was Ryan Sandvig, Ryan made our car buying experience effortless in our part he went above and beyond and made sure we got what we asked for. We found what we wanted for our family and the deal was done. I have never dealt we a dealership that made car buying so simple and quick and customer service was great. I went back to Ryan 5 days later and purchased a truck from him. Ryan's customer service was above and beyond. I recommend Ryan to anybody who is looking to buy a vehicle. He will make your car buying experience be a great one.

Ryan was extremely professional and helpful in my truck purchase. I found the truck I was interested in listed on AutoTrader.com. I live in Odessa,Texas(about 300 miles from San Antonio) and talked to Ryan via telephone. I flew to San Antonio the next morning where Ryan picked me up at the airport. When we got to the dealership, the truck was exactly what I was expecting. Ryan and the staff at Northside Ford were very friendly and made my truck buying experience a pleasent one. My trip to San Antonio to buy my Ford F-150 Platinum was well worth it and I would highly recommend Ryan and Northside Ford to anyone looking for a car or truck.

I was misled on the purchase of a truck, told that it had capacities which exceeded the actual specifications of the vehicle. Purchasing a tow vehicle was the primary reason for my visit, and Larry Ramirez first told me that it was safe to tow beyond the stated specifications of the vehicle because the Ford engineers know people will do it anyway, so they build in some padding. He also repeatedly assured me, when I asked directly that the vehicle we were purchasing could pull the 11,300 lbs in the marketing material. After the sale it became evident that our truck did not have the proper configuration, and the dealership was unwilling to help or offer alternatives outside of me trading in the truck at a nearly 35% loss and buying a new vehicle.

I will recommend all of my friends and family to David because he made the purchase experience easy, fun and enjoyable! Thank you David.

Ryan was very helpful with us during our search for a new truck. We were originally searching for a preowned truck with low mileage, but after talking to Ryan and shown the incentives for a new truck, we left to think about it. No pressure from him at all to make the deal right then and there. We came back later in the evening and told hom what we wanted to pull the deal together and he made it happen. We didn't rate the 'price category above because we didn't want it to hurt him in any way, but honestly, vehicle prices nowadays really don't need to be so high in our opinion. We just couldn't bring ourselves to answer "great" on the price-we would have loved to pay $5-10 thousand less! Who wouldn't?!?!

I am a repeat customer with Marty Martinez. He knows that making a transaction simple, quick and streamlined is very important to me. I called him, let him know what I was interested in trading/buying, he researched, he found it and that was pretty much it.I do realized that I'm a simple customer because I dont have to be sold on anything or shop that much. This was my third FX4 truck. That given, the purchase was smooth and easy and I spent probably a total of 4 hours at the dealership. My vehicle was brought in from another dealership out of town and I really appreciate Marty searching to find me what I really wanted. Its a beautiful truck and I will be back to Marty in another 4 years for another one!

Vivan was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about the 2013 Limited Explorer that we purchased. She went out of her way to make sure we got the deal we wanted. We really enjoyed working with her!The finance guy who helped us was also very professional and efficient!

We purchased a 2011 Ford 150, Platinum. Recently we had a flat tire and found the spare was totally different then the tires on the vehicle. I spoke to Mr Novak who told me there was nothing they could do about a vehicle we paid over $50k. Hr told me he was the one who makes the decision. I called and asked that Mr Thompson call me, but no call received. I came into the office (Northside Ford) wrote my number down and left it with the secretary asking Mr Thompson to call. Nothing happened. I came to Northside Ford because I thought we would receive good customer service. I was wrong.

My husband and I had been car shopping all around San Antonio and the surrounding areas. Bluebonnet Ford was lowest price that we had seen but the guy that was helping us was horrible. We had left our name and number with other dealers also and Northside Ford was the only one that called us to make sure we were going to come out Saturday like we had said. I had purchased my old truck at Northside Ford when it was at the other location and I am sooo glad I came back. Virgil, David and Charlie were extremely helpful and informative. They were not pushy at all like some of the other salesmen were at the other dealers. The price we agreed upon was excellent! I know we haggled for a while cause we knew what we wanted. Virgil is a great salesman! He walked us through everything and even after we signed for everything he made sure we knew how to operate everything in our new truck. I love our new F-150 Lariat!!! I had a Ford Ranger before, which I traded in and got a great rebate on, and this by far surpasses it. I am completely satisfied and beyond with my experience at Northside Ford and with Virgil, David and Charlie. Thank you so much!

We had a great time at Northside Ford, we were expecting to be at the dealership all day battling the salesman. We were pleasantly wrong. We met Victor Torres out on the dealership lot and he offered to show us around the lot. After looking at a couple of different cars not seeing the one we found on the internet we decided to ask. Victor was able to locate it for us and we were ready to go inside. I trade in my truck for a smaller fuel efficient car so my emotions were already high. The sales team did help make the situation a whole lot easier. I would defiantly recommend anyone who is in the market for a new vehicle to at least start the process at Northside Ford, you might not be looking to long. Ask for Victor Torres he is a very nice no pressure gentleman!James

As I got out of my car, everyone was so nice. I had never been there but I felt as if I had because of the warm welcome. Vivian Aguon was so wonderful and very helpful with any questions I had. And my final closing with Marc Canlas was out of this world. This is my fourth new car and I had never been so comfortable with all the paperwork. I was so calm and not under pressure. Thank you Northside Ford for such wonderful staff. I can't wait for my next purchase.Mateo Lopez

Mr. Brand was very nice, of course all sales people are but he was not fake. He took time to actually help in the buying experience. Even though other customers were comining and going he stayed with me and helped me. He let me chose and test drive numerous trucks when some would have pushed you toward something they wanted to sell. Very professional Gentleman.Gene

I purchased a Ford F-150 from Northside 11 years ago. I had a Great Experience then, but they did not have a used truck, Like I was looking for the next time. So then I went to Jordan ford, where I met william Johnson. If I would not have met Wil, I would have never purchased a vehicle from Jordan Ford. Just a real bunch of people who thought they were all that. That is why I went to Northside to look, this time around. That is when I found out that wil worked there. Everyone was really nice at Northside and did not play games about the price. I was looking to buy a used Truck and came away with a really nice Truck, at a Great Price. Wil Johnson did everything he could to get me the best deal possible. Marc Canlas in Fiance was awesome. Marc explained eveything to us and made sure we understood everything. Marc laughed and joked with us. Seemed like I knew him for years. I went looking to buy a ford and came away with a Chevy Avalanche. That is how great these guys are. If you are ready to purchase a New or used Vehicle, go see my buddy Wil Johnson. Tell him John and Debi Kay sent you. Just don't tell Marc, he will crack up !!!!! God Bless

Connie met me as I was just pulling in to the lot. I was looking at use cars and I had no real plan to buy but with the great people who were able to work around my old car and make sure that I drove out with the car that I tested and that I wanted. I am very happy with the car and the people there at Northside Ford.

Absolutely, hands down the best Car buying experience I have ever had. The customer service is superlative. From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left. Taken care of, kept informed of what was happening, and we left the lot in a BRAND new car. I highly recommend NORTHSIDE FORD over any other FORD dealership. Thank you NORTHSIDE. My wife was in tears as we left it is her very first BRAND NEW CAR...

I was very please with Robert Salas and Charlie Rodriguez they were very patient and helpful with my purchasing a new car.I would recommend Northside Ford to anyone that is looking to purchase a car. The staff is very friendly, had the staff not been patient and friendly i would not have purchased a car. When I drove up I was greeted with a warm welcome by Robert. I love my 2012 Ford Fusion. The price was right, the payments are great. Thumbs up to Northside Ford, you have great staff. Also, great staff at the Switch Board and Finance Department. Thanks again Robert, Charlie and Northside Ford Dealer. I highly recommend you.

We purchased a 2010 focus. WE service our ford here regularly. In 2011 we came in for service on our 2010 and just to test drive the 2012 focus we were not intending to purchase one that day. Another salesman on the floor helped us. We explained to him of our purchase here in 2010. We took the test drive. Shortly after we came back in to the showroom, the salesman was pulled aside by a sales manager, the manager did not tell us what was going on which was rude in my opinion. the manager then approached us ann told us rather rudely that they have a policy of using the same salesman which we purchased out 2010 from. We had no intention of purchasing that day and told him this also, and after that rude manager encounter, we will definetly not purchase another car from this dealership.

By far, the best auto buying experience we've ever had! From the moment I spoke with Charles Young on the phone after he answered my internet inquiry, I knew that the we were going to buy our Ford Fusion from Northside Ford. I can't say enough good things about how helpful and straight-forward Charles was. We got the exact car we wanted (actually better than we wanted) due to Charles' professionalism and knowledge. I would highly recommend Northside Ford to anyone considering an auto purchase in the near future.

I began my search for a new car on the internet. Dino worked with me and was very responsive to my inquiries. Dino also called which was nice, as I could put a voice with the name. When we arrived at the dealership, we were greated warmly, with a smile and a handshake. Everyone was very friendly. Dino worked with us to find the color of exterior and interior we wanted. He also worked with us on the price, which was very reasonable. The paperwork was handled very quickly. The car was washed and Dino synced my phone before we left. It was a very good experience.

Buy your next F-150 from Northside Ford!! I am serious. I have lived all over the USA and I have only had F-150 trucks - nothing else. My grandfather was a dealer for Ford in Central Kentucky; Dad owned and raced Fords. Almost 100 years of Ford products in my family!! I knew exactly what I wanted. I had purchased my prior F-150 (SuperCab) from Northside Ford, had my vehicles (and my 2 kids Mustangs) all serviced by them as well. Nothing but excellence in every phase of the business.Dino. What a nice individual aside from the fact that he is indeed a MASTER salesman. Having retired from marketing, I 'enjoy' watching other sales personnel perform their craft. Dino was extremely mannerly, low-key, kind, and patiently worked a fantastic deal for us. My wife really appreciated all of his support in the questions she had.This purchase was extremely important to us, as we are both recently retired, and are beginning our travels around the USA. We got an F-150 Super Crew EcoBoost. Wow!! What an awesome vehicle! We got the tow package, Texas Edition, and there is no reason why is should not perform well for us when we tow an ultra-lite travel trailer."Thanks" so very much Dino (and your support team). We are off to begin anew in the safety and comfort of the new F-150 you helped us buy.Connie & Dave ColvinSan Antonio, TX

90% of the sales effort was done from Guam via the Internet. Ben Eason was knowledgable, courteous, upfront, professional and friendly. The exact vehicle I wanted was available and the finalization of the sale was efficient and expeditious, especially because I was in town for one week. Financial side by Mr. Franklin was concise and expeditious, too. An outstanding experience, starting with the Internet.

What a pleasant surprise! After visiting other ford dealerships I was about to give up on the idea of quality and service actually existing...then I arrived at Northside Ford-hallelujah!Entering the parking lot a very nice young man pointed us to a parking spot, opened my door and introduced himself (Ryan). I told Ryan what I was looking for and he helped me find THE CAR, never has there been a more pleasant and personable sales experience. Ryan is very easy to talk to and you never feel as though you are "being sold" I would highly reccomend that you ask for him by name on your next visit for new or used vehicles. I am very pleased with he service after the sale, and will certainly go back for more vehicles in the future.I would name children after Ryan, it was that impressive!Misty, San Antonio

My experience with Wayne Alderman and Jason Pelmear at Northside Ford has been great! They have been extremely helpful and patient long after the sale. They have taken extra time time to make sure that I know how all the bells and whistles on my Explorer work so that I truly enjoy driving my new "used" car. I would highly recommend anyone contact them when looking for a new or used car. The internet site gave me a preview of what was available, with all the features, amenities and prices listed on the website. When I went in to the dealership I knew more or less what was available and after that it was a walk in the park to seal the deal. I love these guys and you will too!

My experience with Lloyd Carreon was great! He listen to me and helped me get a vehicle that would suit my needs. He is so full of energy and is so willing to help. I really enjoyed my experience at Northside Ford, due to the great people. It was a privealege to be helped by, Lead [LLOYD CARREON], secondary [Sherry Buffington]. These are two great people who have such different personalities but are so special to me. We got along well and I just wish there were more people in the world like them. I will recomend my friends and family to visit Nortside Ford for any future purchases. I will suggest they see Lloyd, or Sherry first. Overall I couldn't ask for a better salesperson. With Sincere Thanks,Monica M. Barrett

My wife and I bought a car a couple years ago from this dealership and Wayne. We just traded the vehicle in and found out that the car was previously wrecked. We asked this question when we bought the car two years ago and we were assured this car had never been in a wreck and had a clean history. We had the car facts report run when we were trying to get a decent deal on the trade. This is when we found out the car had been wrecked before. This took over $2000 off the trade value of the vehicle. Make sure you do your research on the vehicle before you drive it off the lot. Make sure you run a car facts report on the car and if I were you I would go to a different dealership to ensure you don't have the same problems we did. I highly recommend Ancira Chrysler Jeep Dodge. Or if you are set on a Ford find another Ford dealer. Very disappointed!!!!

I didn't think I would qualify for a new purchase because my credit is not that great due to heath issues of my daughter. Wayne and Northside worked hard and got me approved for a new car. Wayne went out of his way to ensure that I was happy with my purchase. I am really enjoying my new car and would highly recommend both Northside Ford and Wayne to any of my friends and coworkers.

From the moment I drove on the lot I was given nothing but the best service! From Lloyd walking out in the rain just to say hello to the attention to detail given during the entire research/purchase process. They really make you feel like they will bend over backwards just to make you happy and get you in a car not only you want to buy but can afford.

Was told by Finance that the new truck would be under our companies name not in my personal name. They said Chase would finance it under the company name. They also said I had to purchase a 4 year extended warranty in order to get it financed under company name for an extra 4K. Come to find out that it was actually financed under my name not the company name. They flat out lied and ripped me off especially about the warranty purchase. Would not return any of my phone calls or emails. After meeting with Chase Bank directly they are now changing the financing the way it should have been done in the first place. Purchasing more vehicles but will not be from NorthSide.

While at the dealership, I had an okay time buying the car. Nothing blowout/ nothing to write home about. My first salesman was not too knowlegleable about the vehicle, and I ended up showing a couple of things. Then Rowdy came in and "saved the day" I guess. We ended up with a new Escape and we have like the car since!

He took the time to show me the features on the vehicle and the time to introduce me to a service advisor. The decision to by a Ford over another Mercedes was made easy by Mr. Sandvig. Thank you so much Ryan.

We visited Northside Ford almost 3 months ago and Chris Brand did such a great job of showing us the Edge that we fell in love with it and knew we would be back to buy one. When we returned we had decided we were going to buy a used Edge and Chris did a great job of showing us the one on the lot and looking for the other 2 they had listed but were not on the lot. He took the time to really understand what features we wanted and look to see if we could find those features in the used vehicles they had on the lot. His customer service and attention led us to buy a New Vehecle in stead of a used one. I would recomend Chris Brand if you are looking for a vehicle and want good customer service beyond feeling like you are just a number walking through the door, which was our previous exepriene at other dealerships.

I contacted several dealers via the internet looking to trade-in a luxury car for a small pick-up truck (used/new) to use during my retirement. I received email responses from several dealerships. However, Wayne Alderman, at Northside Ford responded first and followed up with pricing for a new Ford Ranger pick-up which was very interesting. Other dealerships contacted me with nothing new or used meeting my wants/needs. Other Ford dealerships didn't wish to provide pricing, at all. I already knew what my trade-in was worth. So, with the information Wayne had provided and information I had gathered on the net, I traveled to Northside Ford to meet with Wayne to see if we could reach an equitable agreement. I had several other used vehicles to look at in case we did not reach agreement. Wayne had mil car appraised and the offer was within $3.00 of the trade-in value I had reached as acceptable. That, with the incentives Ford was offering for a new car purchase made the decision easy. Also, Wayne didn't run back and forth and we didn't have to haggle back and forth. He had the authority to explore all the different options available and we quickly reached an agreement.In addition to Wayne's warm professional manner, the dealership also go above and beyond to make sure the vehicle is spotless for delivery and makes preparation for beginning a good service relationship after the sale.The entire process was pleasant and I enjoy my new little pick-up to use as a second retirement vehicle.

Mr. Anthony was a crucial part of our experience at Northside Ford. He was very helpful in ensuring we were able to stay in our price range and didn't try to haggle us to go to a higher model. In fact, he went so far as to recommend even a lower end model to ensure we stayed within our price range. He was very curtious and had our best interests in mind. Because of Mr. Anthony we were able to purchase the car we wanted at a price that was very affordable. When it came time for the signing, he was very informative of all the ins & outs of what each document entailed and what it meant for us as consumers. I would definitely recommend Mr. Anthony as a well respected reference for anyone else in the market of buying a car.

Marty was my first contact with this dealership and his relaxed, friendly style was a big factor in my decision to buy. When I got to the dealership, Marty was with a customer, but Freddie got the ball rolling by showing me a number of vehicles, providing pricing info and evaluating my trade-in. When Marty was free, he introduced himself in person, allowed Freddie to close the deal and then he handled the delivery and explanation of all the features of our new truck. Overall, our best car buying experience ever! Thank you Marty, Freddie & team.

My family and I had a great car-buying experience because of the attention and knowledge that Mr. Godel shared with us during the process. He worked with us for over a week, answering all our questions and scheduling several follow-up appointments. He was helpful without being overly pushy, allowing us to do research online and at other dealerships without feeling pressured. In the end, we got the exact truck we wanted (which is no small feat given all the different features Ford offers!) and for a price that we were happy with.

I have been a customer of Northside Ford since 2007, when we moved to San Antonio. I have always found the personnel to be friendly, efficient, and professional. When my ten-year-old Explorer needed replacing, I went to Northside. We looked at another dealer with a comparable SUV - another maker. It was a difficult decision to make, but our past experience with Northside helped. Arthur Bryant listened to what we said about our requirements and came up quickly with a vehicle that met our needs exactly. We will recommend both Northside and Arthur Bryant to our friends.

This is a great Ford Dealership to buy a car from. Jack Clarkson is a very friendly and honest salesman. He is very knowledgeable about his product and works with you to find out what you really want in a car. The genuine care for his customers is amazing and you won't find a nicer man anywhere else to buy a car from. The financial department of Northside Ford is just as great, working with customers to get payments down to what they can afford. A+ dealership!

Ron is an outstanding Sales Associate! Ron and I had spent a considerable amount of time looking at the used car inventory as I was looking for a cheap car for my daughter. I did not find a car that fit her budget and I had an interest at only looking at the Super Duty trucks as well. We spent the remainder of the day closing a deal on a new Super Duty. During the used car and new truck process, Ron treated me as I was the only customer in the dealership. Frankly, Ron made the buying process so transparent and fast that I did not realize I was buying a new truck until I drove home in it. Two Thumbs up for Ron. I will track him down again in the future :-)

Charles Young was an amazing Salesman. I have only purchased vehicles through a family friend who is now retired prior to this. After this experience, I feel like Charles is our new family friend. He was knowledgeable about the vehicle I was interested in (Ford Edge) and he was considerate of our money situation. He listened to what we needed and made the best fit suggestion for us. Charles will now be our go-to-guy for future purchases.

As we entered the doors of Northside Ford our guard was up. We had been to two different local dealerships and been ignored and neglected. Our initial call to Wally Rodriguez assured us that we would not have the same results at Northside Ford. Barry Wayne promptly greeted us and introduced us to John Novac who was waiting for our arrival. Mr. Novac heard our concerns and reassured us that our salesman Barry Wayne would adequately deliver excellent customer service and inform us as to what Northside Ford could do.Reflecting back to our experience last week as we drive in our 2011 Ford 4x4 Lariat makes both of us smile from ear to ear. Straight forward, honest, professional and extraordinary are words that describe our experience and sales staff at Northside Ford in San Antonio, Texas. The best compliment we feel we could give is to tell those who set the bar high is to give Northside Ford a try, trust us you wont be disappointed.A strong team is made up of many.John NovacBarry WayneMarc CanlesAre a strong Ford Tough team who are ready to deliver excellent customer service at ALL costs!!

After purchasing two prior vehicles from Northisde Ford with very positive experiences, I visited the dealership today with intent to purchase a third. What followed was one of the most demeaning experiences I have ever had.The initial sales person and I selected and drove a vehicle from the lot. We began to work on numbers. I understand that buying a car can be an emotional process, but I feel strongly that it need not be disrespectful. We had a great conversation and even though the numbers were not yet reasonable to me, he was respectful and we continued to work on the deal. I was confident that we were going to find compromise.At one point, he returned with another gentlemen who went on to bully me beyond my belief. Instead of recognizing the blue book value of my trade in, he lectured me on the overhead the company has with their service and used car departments that must be factored into the blue book figure.He began spitting numbers, flipping papers, and waving his arms as if we were playing 3 card monte. At one point, he asked me how I arrived at the price that I thought was fair, I asked if I could write it out. He held the pen by his chest and said, "did you bring a pen?"I asked the initial salesman if he would please return to me my DL and keys. He left the area. The other salesman continued to talk. I pointed out that he did not seem to want to have a conversation and he relinquished the pen. I wrote out what I thought was a fair price less the rebate and trade value of my vehicle. Very sarcastically, he drew a smiley face on the paper, said have a nice day, and walked away.Ordinarily I would move on, but I have invested tens of thousands of dollars with this dealership over the past 10 years, and I feel totally betrayed for my loyalty to them. This is not the Northside Ford leadership I worked with when I bought my last two trucks and scored them very highly on the subsequent service reviews. To say the least, I am disappointed.

My internet salesman was William Franklin and he provided outstanding service. He was not pushy and his calm demeanor guided me through the selection and purchasing process without a hitch. In fact, I was in and out of the dealership in two hours with my new F150 and that timeframe included a test drive. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy from a dealership without all the usual hassles and baggage that goes along with it. Bottom line....it was a very easy transaction from start to finish.

My purchasing experience at Northside Ford was FANTASTIC. I did a lot of on line research and then corresponded with Tim Godel by email and phone. When I visited the dealership I was fairly sure of what I wanted, and I was ready to buy. Tim and the management staff spent nearly a complete day ensuring that I was matched up with the perfect vehicle at the right price. Once the deal was sealed their finance rep got all the dreaded paperwork ready quickly, and reviewed it in depth with me. The next day my new F150 was cleaned, prepped, and ready to go. I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure, and never felt any of the pressure that's so common with many dealers. I strongly recommend Northside Ford, and I'm certain to be a repeat customer myself.

Ron was awesome, my loan officer had contacted Ron to see if they the type vehicle I was looking for and Ron confirmed that there was one vehicle available with my specifications. Prior to my arrival Ron called me to ensure I was on my way and to inform me that my vehicle was located outside the door of his office. Ron took me to my vehicle we sat inside he explained the navigation system and all the other features on this model. He insisted that I take it for a test drive (that is what sealed the deal for me)I had to have this vehicle... I was at the dealership about 3 hours and then I went home with my new 2012 Ford F-150 Raptor. Everyone I came in contact with was friendly and courteous, Ron's Manager David Starnes made sure I was completely satisfied. It was a great experience, especially since I was not really prepared to buy a vehicle that day (it was my first day home for the holidays). I live out of state and was only going to be in town for 4 days, this vehicle was fully loaded and the only thing that was on my list that was not on this vehicle was the bedliner and Ron is working with a local dealer in my area to accommodate that. I cannot say enough about my experience, just completely awesome. Ron calls or emails me almost everyday, keeping informed on the status of the bedliner and to let me know that my tags are on the way. Thanks Ron Sutton for all you do for me. You are the best...

Nice vehicle buying experience. My daughter and I were treated very nice by our salesperson, Ron Sutton, during our first visit to this dealership. There was no push to buy, just plenty of information about the vehicle we were interested in. When the time came to buy, we were again treated extremely well by Ron and the Finance Manager, Randy, who took care of us. This was a very pleasant buying experience for me in a long time.

I WAS NERVOUS TO BE BUYING A CAR ON MY OWN AND FROM THE MOMENT I PICKED UP THE PHONE AND EXPLAINED TO HER MY SITUATION SHE WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND NEVER PRESSURED ME INTO BUYING ANYTHING THAT I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH OR 100% SATISFIED WITH. MARY MADE THE CAR BUYING PROCESS EXTREMELY EASY AND DID EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO KEEP ME WITH IN MY PRICE RANGE. IT WAS SUCH A GREAT AND EASY EXPERIENCE.

Wow!!! What a great experience. I have dealt with car salesmen before, and this was not a sales job. This was listening to what I wanted and taking me right to that truck. I literally had looked at used trucks all day,at other dealerships, and just wanted to see if I could get in the ballpark on a new truck. I came in to look and drove away with a beautiful truck. The experience was so good that they actually found an additional rebate, after we had agreed to the sales price, and honored it. I can tell you that these guys are honest and a pleasure to deal with. Even received personal one on one training before I drove off the lot. Great experience, great people, and a great dealership.

Of all the dealerships in the Austin/San Antonio area I found they were the most efficient and least "hard sell". They got me in and out quickly and the price I received for my Ford Fusion Hybrid was fair. My one pet peeve was that they made my sign a form to consent to allowing my personal information to be used by them and their affiliates for marketing purposes. It seems that if I spend 31K+ to purchase a car from them, I should at least be given the option of opting out of the barrage of marketing emails. If I buy a $60 sweater from the gap I can easily opt out. They had asked that I email them if there was any reason I couldn't give them a five star review so I did email Freddie Anthony and David Starnes, twice in fact, about their policy on sharing of personal information. They never responded. Their receptionist said she would place me on their do-not-contact list but I am still being contacted.One other thing to watch out for is the "gap insurance" from their financing people. I received a very good rate for financing (make sure you don't agree to buy the car until they are very clear what the financing terms are that they will offer.) But they also wanted to sell me a $310 "gap insurance" policy. This essentially covers the difference between what I owe and what I would get reimbursed for if the car is in an accident. This difference is biggest in the first year of owning a vehicle and is probably not much more than $3000(and rapidly become negligent after the first year of making payments). This is very expensive insurance for what it is. Judging by the way the financing guy was pushing it and seemed visibly disappointed when I turned it down, it is a money maker for them. Avoid it if you can.

I highly recommend Nortside Ford for servicing and repairing any Ford vehicle. My 2002 Ford Windstar required minor repairs to the headlight module, which "accidentlly" came off when backing out of my garage. Nortside went out of their way to find after-market replacement parts, saving me signigicant repair costs. In addition, the existing headlight module lens was polished to match the new lens, and all work was completed within the promised time.We were contacted during the repairs to keep us informed on the expected completion of work, which helped with scheduling the vehicle pickup.Great job to the entire service team ar Nortside Ford!

I've been to a lot of dealers and have bought a lot of vehicles. Charles Young at Northside Ford has to be the best salesman I have ever dealt with. He was very personable, upfront, honest, and never gave me the run around. He also follows up after the sale on any and all issues. The rest of the staff was also very friendly and helpful. BTW, the 2012 Mustang GT is amazing! I am totally satisfied with this dealership.

We went to look at a car and Ron helped us. We were very pleased with how the whole thing went, Ron and the others we talked to treated us very well. They listened to us and wanted to make sure we were happy with every step of the process. We didn't feel pressured at any time and they gave us a good deal and got us very good financing. We would recommend this dealer and Ron Sutton to anyone looking for a car. From the moment I called and Ron answered till we drove off in the new car, it was a pleasant experience.

Ronald Sutton was quickly responsive to my initial phone inquiry. He was attentive, gave me genuine and helpful information, stayed in touch with me via email and phone call until I came by the dealership in person. His contacts were professional and friendly, never pushy or imposing. His manner in person was friendly, informative, attentive, and professional, in great combination. Other persons at the dealership were friendly and attentive, personable. The experience overall was efficient and quick. We got the deal we wanted and the dealership perks that accompanied the purchase were quite nice. My experience with Ronald Sutton is one of the best and most positive that I've had with sales reps through my 35 years of buying cars for myself and my family.

This dealership knows how to treat it's customers. I bought a new car from them about Four days ago and I was treated with the utmost care. They gave me a tour of the whole facility and were willing to work with me on the price of my vehicle. Ron Sutton was really laid back and I felt no pressure to buy the vehicle then and there. I would gladly recommend anyone interested in buying a ford to go there.

Your sales ConsultantJohnny Chambers was very knowledgable and friendly. We were only browsing around to see what the options for used pickups were. My husband was really looking to purchase a used pickup. But, Johnny Chambers' personality and knowledge of trucks made the sale. We wound up purchasing a brand new F-150.

Ron Sutton contacted me immediately when I first inquired about a vehicle (via the Internet). Not only was his contact prompt, he had already located a prospective vehicle that matched my inquiry. Meeting Ron face to face was even better. He did exactly what he said he was going to do and exceeded my expecations. He covered every detail of the purchase process in a simple and thorough manner, took me on a tour of the facility for future service visit, and made buying a car a simple as buying groceries! I was extremly pleased with the whole experience; Ron is doing his best to undo the sometimes negative connotations associated with purchasing a vehicle.

We had a very good experience with Robert and Northside Ford. We were able to get the car at the price we needed but not necessarily the price we wanted (then again, if we could all get our cars for the price we wanted then all the dealerships would be out of business). We love our new car and would shop again with Northside Ford.

We took our 2007 Ford Edge in to get the bearings replaced on the right front wheel. We were initially given an estimate of $350. After they had the car, they told us $450. When we called them on it, they reduced the price. Within 24 hours, the power steering pump went out. We had to have it towed back and have the power steering pump replaced - $712. Within 3 days, we noticed that we were getting spots on our driveway. We took it back and insisted on checking their previous work. Nope! Now we have an oil leak under the gear box. "It's not like it's $1,000 or anything. It's only around $400 to fix." I can see MAYBE the coincidence in the first situation. There's no coincidence in this happening twice. I believe someone there is doing damage to our vehicle so they can get more money. We will never go back there and will never buy a car from them.I suggest everyone stay away! You'll end up with more problems that when you started!

Jack was very helpful from the moment we got there. he showed us around from new to used, we found a nice used ford escape on the lot and brought in the paperwork to look at it he showed us that but also showed us another one that would save us more money and was just as great! This is the first dealership that did not try to take us for money or jerk us around making us think we would get the vehicle. I am very pleased with Northside ford and will do business with them in the future and will recommend them to all my friends and family.

We initially met Connie Black at the SA Auto Show. She took time there to show us all aspects of the Ford Units there. Later, we indicated that we might visit Northside Ford. On Nov 4, 2011, we went to Northside Ford for a 10 A.M appointment with Connie Black. We discussed vehicles at the time and agreed to look at the Ford Escape. After several hours, we finally agreed on a vehicle and after several hours or discussions and then with F & I we finally did purchase a 2012 Ford Escape Limited.During this whole time, Connie was very helpful and went over everything in detail.If I do get the chance, I will recommend Northside Ford and specifically Connie Black to my friends. She was outstanding. My rating is because of the assistance given by the sales person.Thank You Connie for all of your help and assistance.

I was very specific on the vehicle my husband and I were to purchase. Northside Ford had the only vehicle, with the specific features we wanted in the entire state of Texas. I called Northside Ford, spoke with Marty, he walked to the vehicle with me on the phone to verify that the vehicle was there on the lot and it had all the features we wanted. We drove in, traded in our old Explorer and got our new Expedition within hours. (this was after 2 months of calling all over Texas searching for this vehicle). Marty was straight to the point and pulled no punches. It was a pleasure not only walking into their incredible showroom, but also dealing with Marty himself. We had previously dealt with other salesman at different dealerships that only wanted to sell us what they had on the lot and would not look for the vehicle we did want. Thanks Marty! Oh, and the credit department was also incredible. Very knowledgeable and we ended up with a better financing rate through them. I would have to say just walking into this dealership is worlds apart from others.

In regards to the salesperson I dealt with he was very knowledgeable and very expertise on his salesmanship. I really enjoyed the salesperson for his honesty & integrity. As for my experience I was very leery about the price, & the little ford ranger came out to be more than expected. Now it seems that I'm having problems with the truck, and I'm very disappointed in it since I've only had it for 2 weeks as of today, but I will try to adapt to it, I'm a 65 year old woman and I only hope it gets better in time. Thank you, Maria Ruiz

We are a two car family and our primary car needed to be replaced. While we were not in a panic we wanted to replace it as soon as possible and had a pretty good idea of what we wanted. We went to a car finder through our bank and received phone calls and internet messages from several dealers. Most of their presentations sounded pretty canned, not showing much interest in us personally, only in our buying a car they had from them. Ron's approach was different. From the beginning, it was apparent that he wanted to work with us to find the right car for our needs. He was patient and attentive to us, always polite and courteous. when we had questions, he had the answer or found someone else on the very friendly staff who did. The process went very smoothly and quickly but we never had the feeling that we were being rushed. He even took time after the sale to take us around the entire facility, which is amazing, introducing us to people we would need to know and places where we would need to go as we worked together to maintain our car in top condition. Working with Ron and those around him has been a refreshing experience.

My wife and I met John the first thing Saturday morning when we arrived at the dealership. We told him the specific vehicle we wanted to get pricing on, but at our request, she showed us several more, too. He never rushed us or seemed like he just wanted to make the sale and move on to the next customer. He gave us all the time we wanted to look around and make our decision. John told us that he had not been at Northside long, but he was very professional and knowledgable about the Ford product. If he didn't know the answer to a particular question he didn't try to make something up - he asked someone else and got us the right answer. Buying my new F-150 was a very pleasant experience! I also want to say thank you to Tony Franklin who assisted us with financing questions. As was the case with John, Tony was very attentive and gave us all the information we needed. Overall, as I said before, the whole experience was outstanding.

Gary was outstanding and kept me well informed throughout the process/services on my truck. The mechanic, name unknown, was also exceptional. I initially brought my vehicle in for a check engine light and the problem could not be detected. The mechanic told me what to do if it went on again and reset it. Two days later, something else felt wrong and back in I went. The same mechanic took it for a ride and knew what was wrong. He spent the whole weekend trying to determine the exact problem. He fixed it and then went back after the check engine light problem since he already had my truck. He found that problem and returned my truck with everything fixed. I could not be more happy and satisfied. I travel twice as far to get service at Northside Ford and pass another Ford dealership....they are that good. During this entire period, Gary Bloomer kept me well informed and made the visit worry-free. Amazing service, thank God my co-workers recommended Northside, I already received great service. 5 thumbs up (:

In addition, every employee we encountered during our visit to the dealership greeted us and asked if we had been helped.Charles and David not only gave us a great price for our new purchase but also gave us the price we were looking to get for our trade in. Marc sealed the deal by making the finance portion a "painless" experience. Go Team Ford!

Not a pushy sales staff, gave us room to breathe, did not steer us toward something we were not wanting. Great selection of new vehicles. The best dealership I have visited or bought from. Everyone we had contact with was friendly with out be fake. Once the car was selected the process was fast and conveinet. They actually saved us money as we preapproved for a loan and they found a better rate.I would recommend anyone looking for a Ford to go here.Thanks Gene

He made our shopping experience very pleasant and really put us at ease. He showed us exactly what we were looking for and got us a very good deal. We were driving off the lot with our new car in just a short time at the dealership. Best car shopping experience I have ever had.

Just learning the Sync features which are not really advertised that much, but are turning out to be super. Thanks Charles!

I just want to recommend Matthew Whitney! He has only been at Northside Ford since January and he is very patient, caring, non threatening, and very understanding. He knows what he had on stock, recommended us to drive any new car on his lot, knows his Ford Cars, and performed admirably well after we made a purchase of a 2012 Fusion. His Manager, Charles(?) put too much pressure on us to buy what they had on stock as opposed to our desire to wait for a Fusion Hybrid. He was overly afraid we would not come back if we could not get our Hybrid and finally did give some on the price. One though should never be pressured over waiting for a car to be purchased. Neverthless, Matt was fantastic and we are very satisfied with our Fusion in equipment, color, year and price. It's less than 5 minutes from our home. We just hope the service is as great as Matt was in New Sales. Best of Luck Northside Ford and thanks Matt!!!

After looking at a new car at the San Marcos dealership, I sent quote requests to four dealers in the area (2-Austin, 1-San Marcos and 1-San Antonio). I specified the features, color, everything so that I would get an accurate quote. Northside Ford was the first and only response when I checked the next morning and they gave me the information I requested, not some automated garbage. I later received a phone call and we discussed what I was looking for. Marty Martinez, the salesman told me it would require ordering the car and building it to my specifications and exactly how much it would cost over invoice. This allowed me to modify my request to build exactly the car I wanted and stay within my price range. At first I was skeptical of all of the positive reviews for Northside Ford at this website. However, I made an appointment to test drive a similar car on the lot and we ordered the car that I wanted. I did not get pressured into buying something already available on the lot. I was patience and waited for it to arrive and there were no suprises with the price at the end. It was a very pleasant experience, no haggling or negotiating. For my next car purchase, I think I will go same route. It was a no BS experience. Also, the day I received my car I got to walk around "the complex". I think they are probably well equipped to work on and make any repairs in the future. Hopefully, I will not find out for some time.

Matt Fisher did an outstanding job representing Northside Ford. He was very knowledgable and was able to answer all of my qestions. I looked at numerous vehicles an he was very patient te entire time. I was so satisfied with the help he gave me that I bought a truck that day.

This was my first experience in buying a new car. Chris did a great job in maintaining a calm and professional presentation of my new Ford Fusion. I made the decision to purchase my vehicle late in the evening and Chris as well as Randy (finance dept) made it possible for me to drive off the lot in my new car and return the next day to finalize the transaction. For anyone with the "dealership phobia" I highly recommend visiting Chris Brand at Northside Ford. Oh yes, Chris tambien habla espanol.

Ryan Sandvig (our salesman) was very friendly and helpful with no pressure he just let you make the decision. He was easy to talk to and listened to what we wanted (instead of just hearing what is said). He appears to be a very dedicated salesman.Richard (finance manager) was very easy to get along with. We were there late closing the sale (10 o'clock) and neither Richard nor Ryan made it seem like we were imposing.

Overall, the service was satisfactory and even though it took a bit long, it was because of reasons not necessarily because of anything wrong by the personnel at Northside Ford.

Firstmark Credit Union steered us to several San Antonio area Ford dealers through their "credit union friendly" program. We contacted Northside Ford since we were in that area and spoke with David Starnes -- told him what we were looking for. Within a few minutes he contacted us that he had the 2012 vehicle we were looking for. He had it parked in front and he and Jason Pelmear were waiting for us. My husband worked out the price with David while I drove the car with Jason. We bought the car that day. Great service and very professional. Didn't try to sell us any "extras" --very straight forward and honest. Best price we could find.

I came to Northside Ford to lease a vehicle and Freddie Anthony was the man who served me. Boy was I impressed! Not only was Freddie friendly, he was excellent at customer service. Freddie was my guide the whole way from the moment I opened the door of the store to the moment I drove off the lot. I recommend choosing Freddie Anthony as your next salesperson at Northside Ford.Scott Simpson

Initial contact with the dealership was with a salesman that would not return calls. Upon our arrival, Wayne jumped in and took great care of us. No pressure, listened to what we were looking for. Wayne worked very hard for us. David and Randy di their fair share as well. I did not realize how long I was at the dealrship because it was actually a pleasant experience. I have recommended Wayne and Northside already, and would do it again in a heartbeat!

First time I have ever been to this dealership. Great dealership. Everyone was very friendly and helped us right away. They are very organized and know exactly what they have on the lot. Our salesperson did not have to work very hard to get the sale because we had already visited other dealerships and test drove prior to visiting this dealership and the other dealerships just did not have what we were looking for. The salesperson did a great job taking us exactly to what we were looking for and had very good knowledge of the vehicle. I will say that we really had work hard to get the terms we wanted, but our salesperson tried the best he could to work with us. Anyhow, in the end I love my vehicle and I don't have a problem with this dealership.

I was delightfully satisfied with my experience on this visit and purchase with Northside Ford. I have purchased my last several vehicles through Northside and this visit by far exceeds the previous purchases. I was simply going in to see if a deal could be made at the present time and Jason immediately got to work to see if a deal could be reached. He was able to get me upgraded into a brand new 2011 Ford Edge at the price I was looking for and the accomodations I requested. The entire visit took approximately 3 hours which is the least amount of time I have ever experienced. I left the dealership surprised and satisfied. I have referred other customers to Northside before and they too have had a pleasant experience. I look forward to doing business with Northside for many years to come.

I usually feel very uncomfortable visiting car dealerships. Past experiences have not been good but I still needed a car and had to go through the process. This is my third time at Northside Ford and this has been the best experience I have had. I am a proud Ford vehical owner and all my Ford cars have been great. This time however it was a smooth and quick process. I felt no pressure and saw only the vehicals I ask to see. Chris is soft spoken and very patient and he kept me very calm during the whole time. I left the same day with my car- and that had never happened- I usually came the next day to pick up my car. The whole process from selection to signing paperwork took only 4 1/2 hours! My new Fiesta is so much fun! I recommend Chris to those of you who have car dealership phobia. He will put you to ease. Thanks Chris!

The sales process was so pleasant. For some reason, both Connie and Rick worked as a team to help me, and they took turns helping me learn and test drive the models. Both of them were very competent. What I really appreciated was that they did not "oversell" me: they did not push me toward more options or toward a higher model than I wanted. They explained the options, but were not pushy. I got the exact model I wanted, not more.

The dealership shows great care in making sure each vehicle is clean and provides a friendly environment for buying.

Patience was a prime virtue well appreciated during the sales and financing process and I would more than likely recommend this dealership to my friends and family.

My family went to Northside Ford to purchase a new 2011 Escape, and the experience was near perfect. They had the selection we needed and excellent pricing options. After we had settled on a vehicle, Charles explained to us every thing we needed to know about the purchase, from the warranty to what to road side assistance. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and I would recommend this dealership.

The response from this dealership was quick and informative. When I arrived to look at vehicle I was greeted with a big smile and was asked if I was looking for a particular person. Mr. Anthony then stated that we could go inside and he would see if that person was available. He explained that the person was not available but he would be happy to assist me and my wife. He was very knowledgable and professional through the entire experience. He went out of his way to find us exactly what I was looking for but later found out that the vehicle had been sold. I would refer friends to this dealership and to Mr. Freddie Anthony!

My husband and I wanted to buy him a new pick-up truck last year. We drove to all the San Antonio Ford dealerships and when we got to Northside Ford and met Carl Campbell, we knew we were at the right place.Mr Cambell made us comfortable and sold us a beautiful F150 crewcab truck.In April, my husband passed away and I was stuck with a beautiful huge truck that I was afraid to drive. The first person I thought of was Carl Campbell. He was awesome. I traded in my F150 and drove away in a gorgeous Edge. I love it and I'm so grateful to Mr. Campbell and Northside Ford.

My first contact with Northside Ford was on the Internet when I asked for info on buying a new Ford Escape. I had a very fast response, with offers to help me find the right vehicle for me. I set up an appointment for the next day and met Dino Urdiales at the dealership. We talked briefly and I said I was interested in an Escape or the Ford Edge. He got the keys for them and I drove both. He was very knowledgeable about both vehicles and provided a wealth of info. He got a price for me for my tradein vehicle and provided a purchase price for me for the Escape I was interested in. I left to discuss it with my wife and we returned the following day to pick out the color of Escape we wanted. Dino had everything ready and our entire time at the dealership was about one hour and we drove out in our new vehicle. Dino was friendly/professional/knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I recommend Dino and Northside Ford to anyone interested in a new vehicle.

We relocated to Texas in Dec. of 2010. Being new here, we were leery about ratings and dealers. We opted for Northside and are we ever glad we did. Danny and his team went above and beyond any expectation we had. We purchased a 2011 Fusion and the process was painless. Danny and his team worked hard to get us a great rate and payment. They went above and beyond and reworked the numbers of the last week and even lowered our payment and interest rate for us.My wife works for the Federal Government and we are finding that may people she comes into contact with rave about this dealer and we are very satisfied with the entire experience. As long as we reside in the San Antonio area, this dealership has won our business and we will refer them regularly.

My husband and I would definitely recommend Northside Ford and Matthew to our friends. Overall it was a great experience.

I have to say I did not have a bad experience here at all, as a matter of fact this was the best service I have ever had from a dealership and from a car salesman.

I just want to thank Northside Ford for doing everything they could to get me into a new truck.

I purchased a 2010 F150 in late 09 and Carl Campbell was the most helpful salesman that I've experienced during car buying. They don't prey on you like a piece of meat, yet, he listened to my wants and made me a heck of a deal. Well, here we are again in 2011. Again, no surprise that Carl was there to work the sale. He, along with others at the dealership, are excellent. I would recommend Northside Ford to anybody, as I have in the past. I'm proud to be a part of the Northside family.

Jason was knowledgable about the productand took the time to point out the features of the 2010 Ford Escape I just purchased.I had some financing issues and again Jason came thru and was able to negotiatea very acceptable solution. I would and will reccommend Northside Ford to friends and family and in particular that they use Jason Pelmear for the best car purchaseexperience.I have been using Northside Ford's Service Department for several years andhave also been very pleased. I have used several other dealership servicedepartments and Northside's Service Department beats the competition hands down.Keep up the great work Northside Ford!

My husband and I went in (with our three year old) to look at the Ford Fusions. We didn't really plan on buying that day and we test drove two - ended up we couldn't get either one to work in our budget - after the finance dept worked tirelessly on it. So we ended up with a 2007 Corolla which has been an amazing car. The service was incredible. We made up our mind that night and even though Matt was off work the next day he came in and spend his off day making sure we got everything taken care of with the car. Everyone was so amazing to us. AND they have an indoor cafe and playground! Thank you from all the parents out there! Made the day much more bearable!

Jason Pelmear was our salesman. He was very knowledgable about all the features on the truck we bought and did a great job for us. He was also very good with all the paperwork. And he was available for questions/service after the sale. I would definitely recommend him if you decide to use this dealership. So far, we have no complaints about NS Ford - seems like a good dealership.

From the moment I walked onto the lot I was treated like a valued customer. I never felt like I was being pushed into purchasing or being persuaded to spend more than I wanted. Frank Graham was a very down to earth, friendly, knowledgable salesman and I am grateful that he was the one to approach me first. He went out of his way to make my car buying experience the best it could be. He had a great attitude from the very beginning and made me feel comfortable. He was also very accomodating with my 6 year old child, which I appreciated a lot because there are quite a few places that are not "kid friendly". I would recommend Frank to anyone I know looking to buy a vehicle for the reason that he is sincere, has the customers best interest in mind, a no pressure guy, and has excellent customer service skills.Ron Sutton was the next person I dealt with. He has a great outgoing personality and is very friendly as well. He really looked at my trade in vehicle instead of just writing down some random trade in value based on general information. I felt he worked hard to give me a good trade value and was pleased because, even though it was a 1998 car, he didn't treat it like it wasn't worth anything. He handled my contract and explained everything very well and made everything so easy and less confusing and complex than I thought it would be. He also was very accomodating and friendly with my daughter too. Richard Powell handled the financing for my vehicle and he was such a wealth of information. He helped myself and my mother, the cosigner, understand all the contracts and explained everything we had questions about. He found the lowest interest rate & best payments as possible. He never once got impatient with the millions of questions my mother asked either... I was very pleased with his attitude and customer service as well. Northside Ford made my first car buying experience much easier than I thought it would be. I had been to numerous dealerships before and at Northside Ford they had the best customer service and knowledgable staff. I felt good in their hands and confident that I received the best service.

My fiance and I set up an appointment with Connie Black since we had seen so many nice reviews about her online. 5 minutes into searching for vehicle she had to leave due to a family issue (not sure if I believe that or not). We were then set up with a rookie, Jason. He was nice enough but he made it pretty apparent from the get-go that Ford would not be wiling to work with us on our trade in. I still owe $21,000 on my vehicle and they only wanted to offer me $14,000. I told them hell no and that unless they came back with a more reasonable offer, I'd walk... Well they came back with $17.000....Not gonna happen... I'd take a small loss but not a $4000 loss... Their offer was ridiculous. Looks like I'll be going to Chevy.... THey are offering the same financing deal as Ford is BUT with BETTER incentives.

The salesperson(Chris Bland) was very helpful and honest. I was only there to get an oil change to my 2009 F-150 truck and I ended up buying a Mustang. It was a great experience for me and everyone was very kind. The only complaint I do have is that my mustang did not come with a spare tire. It came with a compressor for nitrogen or something. This is new to me, so not having a spare tire in the trunk makes me nervous. I would hate to be stranded due to no spare tire.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience...I have bought many many vehicles and this was by far my best experience in every way. Ben Eason my salesman was stellar. I actually woke him up well before he had to be at work and he without hesitation met me at the dealership 4 hours before he had to be there and took total care of me. Total profesional! Northside Ford made an impossible deal happen. I went in there knowing i had LOTS of negative equity and was surprised to learn that they could make it happen. Everyone i have dealt with there has made me feel like i am their only customer. GREAT JOB BEN EASON AND NORTHSIDE FORD!

I have had the pleasure of working with Ron Sutton and Ryan Sanvig at Northside Ford over the past couple of years. They have always gone above and beyond to help me find a vehicle that I wanted along with financing that fits my personal needs. I have never been unable to reach Ryan or Ron to have any questions I had answered or problems that I have had solved. They are truly an asset to Northside Ford and it has been a great experience purchasing vehicles from them.

I visited Northside Ford to trade in my vehicle and get a new one. Frank Graham and Ron Sutton treated me like a princess from the moment I walked in until the time I left. Frank accommodated with my crazy school and work schedule which had him stay late or be up very early! He did everything he could to make me happy. Extremely honest and fair. There is no other dealership anyone in San Antonio should go to. I'm now a proud owner of a 2011 Ford Fusion!!

He's friendly, patient, knowlegeable and willing to work with youon all aspects of the transaction. Both he and Northside Ford are highly recommendableto all looking to purchase a new or pre-owned vehicle.Respectfully,Paul & Rosemary Esparza

Our car lease with Chrysler was up on a Town and Country van. We had intended on purchasing the car but were so displeased with the performance of the Town and Country we wanted to turn it in. Chrysler was not being flexible at all in regard to the trade in and we were concerned about the cost we would incur on the return. My husband heard about the great service at Northside Ford from a friend and decided to go talk to them. What a great decision that was! Ron Sutton and Mary Ellen Martinez De Escobar worked with our particular situation and were able to take the trade in on the Town and Country and put us into a Ford Flex. Ron and Mary Ellen were super friendly, helpful and went above and beyond in regard to service and customer satisfaction. This is not the typical stressful dealership relationship. It was friendly and a no haggle purchase. The pricing was extremely favorable and we were able to do a purchase vs a lease on a 7 seater vehicle which fits our families' needs. And it drives like a dream! I LOVE my FLex! Ron gave us a tour of the entire facility. Including the service department. I've never had that experience. It's clean, well organized and specialist work in different areas of expertice. They are very proud of their facility and with good reason. Ron introduced us to the General Manager and the Service Manager. Bill Andrews with the service department personally shook our hands and told us to see him for our first oil change. He also showed my husband the recall list which was "zero" for the 2010 and 2011 Flex. The T&C van had several very concerning recalls in the 3 years that we leased it. Ron should be rewarded for being a terrific representative for Ford. I believe he reflects the qualities that Ford puts into their cars - quality, hard working, and genuine.Mary Ellen was always there making sure our every need was taken care of and always with a smile. She personally called the leather Sales Manager Cathy Mumm to assist me in picking out the leather for our car seats. And Cathy was terrific to work with as well. Thank goodness she was there to give me her expert advice on the leather color. Over all, I think Ford has a gem with Northside Ford and should follow their example at other dealerships.

I went into Northside Ford to buy a Ford Fusion. I highly recommend salesperson Connie Black as she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She gave me space when I was looking at cars, and there was no pressure to buy. I emailed her the details of my particular situation, she quickly answered my emails. I purchased my Fusion from Connie and it was a terrific experience. She got me the exact deal that I was after and never gave up. Its rare to find a salesperson that you really feel is trying to get you the best deal and not just a commission. Kudos to Connie! Visit her at Northside Ford, you wont regret it.

Connie was very thorough in showing us a number of vehicles we were interested in. She was very friendly and helpful in our search for the features we wanted in the car as well as getting us the price we felt good about paying. She was very good about explaining features of our new Flex such as sync, setting up the memory seating/mirrors/pedals for each driver, etc. I would definitely be comfortable dealing with Connie on any future purchases.

Charles Young was very professional. There was no pressure to buy and he was able to come up with a deal that met our needs. I would recommend my freinds and family to purchase their vehicles from him and ensure them that they got the best deal available.

I went to Northside Ford after having the worst experience I have ever had at Southway Ford. I explained to the salesman at Northside Ford my situation and he took care of me. Everyone at Northside Ford was very professional. I would recommend this dealer to anyone looking to buy a Ford. I would go back and buy another Ford. Great experience.

This is my 2nd vehicle in a year. If it wasn't for Rowdy Huff being there, my 2nd visit would have probably been to another dealer. This guy here, you tell him exactly what you want and he will work it out. Absolutely fantastic service. In addition, I convinced my fiance to buy a Ford Edge from him, and sure enough he was able to work up a great deal as well. If you're looking to buy a ford head to Nothsode Ford and ask for Rowdy!

James was fair and professional. He worked with me over a number of weeks to get me a fair value for my trade in. On the new car side he spend several hours working up numbers on several cars that I was interested. When I narrowed it down to one car we were able to come to an acceptable deal with a minimum of fuss.

Went by your dealership for the first time on Saturday afternoon after having visited with Sames Ford in Laredo, Texas, Ancira Ford in Floresville,Texas, Chaparral Ford in Devine, Texas, and Red McCombs Ford on I-10 in San Antonio, Texas. I was greeted immediately by a young lady who waved at us and welcomed me to the dealership. After that I met with Ruben Coronado with whom I had spoken by phone only :45 prior to meeting. Ruben had convinced me to visit your dealership vs. making a deal at Red McCombs. He did so by taking the time to quickly review your stock of vehicles that met my needs. When I reviewed the inventory of what I was looking for, F-150 Supercrew, 4 x 4, King Ranch, White, 20" wheels, full accessories, I was very pleased to find taht in fact you had the best selection of the dealerships I had visited. I made my selection and went through the closing process. It was an absolute pleasure to see Mr. Richard Powell who I know from Laredo and with whom I had not spoken in many, many years. Richard is a really nice person who knows the automobile business; his family has been in the business for many generations. Richard was great on the financing and we chatted up old times the entire time.I recently purchased a used vehicle from Car Max for my son. I was pleased with their service and, to be honest with you, I thought I would never go back to buying from a new dealership again because of the old style of doing business ..... high pressure, hanky-panky on the numbers, too many variables to make a clear decision. I didn't experience any of these cliches with you guys and I'm thankful for that. When I buy a vehicle my goal is to walk in, pick what I want and get out of there asap after that, with no hassles, no gimicks, etc...Thanks for making me a North Side Ford customer who will be back when the need arises.Kurt KrausBlack Diamond Energy, Ltd.Laredo, Texas

This is my third vehicle purchase from Northside Ford in 18 months. This is my first experience in a "factory order" versus buying from dealer stock. While the "factory order" process is more prolonged Northside staff are well trained and understand that process. They also continue to meet or exceed my price expectations with every deal. I highly recommend their internet & fleet staff and will suggest to friends and colleagues looking for new Ford vehichles to contact them.

Mr. Young takes the "Dread" from purchasing a new car. He replied to my internet request quickly and answered all my questions. I had been researching a vehicle for 6 mos; the same day we spoke I met with him in his office. I truly felt he was sincere in helping me get the vehicle I wanted in the price range I set. I have been driving Jaguars for 15 years, plan on keeping a "Jag" but am crazy about my new Ford Escort and all the options. Five neighbors have asked for Charles' name and I know my family is in awe of the "syncmyride" option that even a 64 yr old like myself can operate. Thank you Mr. Young for getting exactly what I need and want as well as taking the time to explain all the "extras" to me. My experience was not Great; it was Excellent!

The dealership was very spacious, comfortable, clean and very friendly.Stephanie in the service department was exceptional in helping me schedule periodic service work and Rowdy Huff in the sales department was excellent in helping me special order a new 2011 truck from the factory. Rowdy is proactive in calling me to give me updates on the progress of my truck order and Northside Ford gave me more for my trade in than any one else. Chad in the finance department is very experienced in the whole dealership and explaining so many buying options for my new vehicle. There is a discount Enterprise car rental center in the dealership and both Stephanie and Ryan have helped me with a rental in the past by always having a vehicle on the spot in minutes, no waiting. When I didn't need a rental car, Northside Ford has a driver who will take me to the office or home and pick me up to take me back to the dealership when my vehicle is ready. Northside ford has a quicklube center that has better prices than the other oil change places. When I had questions on my maintenance repairs, Jerry in service would come out and take the time to explain any repairs and maintenance questions I had. Thanks John

My wife and I went to Northside Ford this past Saturday March 26th to shop for a new 2011 Ford Explorer. We were greeted by Connie Black who was very nice and helpful as we went through the buying process. She did not pressure us into anything we didn't want to do and was really great to work with through the whole process. If she didn't know the answer to a question, she would go find out. I would definitely recommend Northside Ford and especially Connie Black to anyone who is shopping for a car. It was definitely a refreshing experience from the normal car buying experience.Mark 3/28/2011

This salesman uses deceitful practices and is not to be trusted. I called him to cancel my appointment and he asked why and told me that he had to cancelled a family mater to meet me with an attitude and that he was waiting for me. I told him that I did not want to pay more than the monthly payment on my actual lease on a new lease and he said come by the dealership and I will match the price on a new f150. I meet his assistant because he was busy doing another sale and after an hour and half he comes in and gives me a payment almost a 100 dollars higher than the one he said he will honor. I said no thanks and then he started saying something hear me up and I said No thank you again he continued to raised his voice and storms out the office saying "I can't deal with you" leaving his assistant speechless. Mr. Campbell made me waste my time and his sales tactics are bad and his manners are worse.

Having recently had a wreck which totaled my previous vehicle, I was already under a great deal of stress. That, coupled with a less-than-stellar credit score, had me panicking. Years ago, I financed a Ford Ranger so I decided to try Ford again. I went to nsford.com, completed an preliminary application and it came back with an immediate pre-qualification! I went in the next day, talked with Mr. Freddie Anthony in the Internet Sales Dept., who worked hard to find me the right car (and the right financing), and a couple of hours later drove away in a new 2011 Ford Focus with Sync, Sirius satellite radio and, best of all, 3.9% financing! I am extremely impressed with the level of service I experienced! From start to finish, I was treated with respect, courtesy and absolute professionalism. I could not have asked for a better experience!!

Connie Black was the best salesperson we have ever dealt with. My wife and I went to go look for a new 3rd passenger vehicle for my wife and we ended up leaving with two new vehilces. As we were driving into the dealership, my wife indicated she show a car she wanted to look at. When Connie approached us, I informed her specially what we were looking for and she took us directly to the car my wife wanted to look at. Connie was very knowledgeable about the features of the vehicle and also know everything about the specials going on that weekend. We were so inspired with the great deal the finance department got for us, that we decided to trade in my truck and purchase myself a new truck that day.

Salesperson Marty, fleet managers Wayne and David, and Credit person Jerry were all very professional and informative about their part of the car buying experience. I had a quote from another dealer, and they were able to match it, and even throw in a few things besides. They got me a great loan, and a great rate, and I really got a better deal than I had imagined. I was in and out quickly, and they were able to answer all of my questions to my satisfaction. They followed up with the after-buying process quickly and efficiently, and it was truly a great experience. I would highly recommend this dealership.

I went to Northside Ford in January 2011 to speak to a new truck salesman. Carl Campbell was there to help me. I wanted a new ecoboost V6 which would not be available until March. We worked out the order and I made an offer. The sales manager made a counter offer which was acceptable to me. There was no pressure and the staff was very friendly. My truck was due to arrive 6 March. I got a call from Carl in March stating my order would be delayed another 2 weeks. A few days later he called to say they had received a new truck that was virtually identical to the one that I ordered. They offered it to me so I wouldn't need to wait any further. I accepted. I was treated fairly and can't say enought good things about Carl and the staff at Northside Ford.

I have bought a number of new cars in my life, but never had the wonderful experience that I had at Northside Ford last week. From the minuet I arrived everyone was warm and welcoming and made me feel like what I needed and wanted really mattered. Charles Young was so kind and helpful. He bent over backwads to make sure I had what I wanted at a price I was comfortable with. I can not say enough good things about him. My daughter was with me through the whole purchasing process and she and I both agree we would highly recommend Northside Ford, and most expecially Charles Young to anyone we know is in the market for a car.

Jerry in Finance was also wonderful to work with. It was without a doubt one of if not the most enjoyable experiences at a car dealership we have ever had.

If it weren't for JR and my friend Michael I would of never had this amazing opportunity to own a new car. THANK YOU!

My wife and I had been contemplating buying a new car, but wanted to wait until the July or August time frame. I took my vehicle in for a brake job and was informed by the Chevy dealership that there were other repairs they wanted to do. After thinking about it, we decided to purchase a new vehicle rather than pump a lot of money into the 2002 Cavalier. I wanted a Ford because they are not government owned. We stopped by Northside Ford and met Freddie. He was outstanding to work with and was patient with us although we arrived quite late in the day. We saw what we wanted and he helped us get it quite quickly. An outstanding job.

BEST EVER OVERALL DEALER EXPERIENCE FROM SALESMAN THROUGH FINANCE. ALL EMPLOYEES WERE FRIENDLY, EASY GOING AND HELPFUL. THIS IS A "NO PRESSURE" DEALERSHIP AND IT OBVIOUS THAT MANAGEMENT HAS SUCCEEDED IN SETTING THE OVERALL TONE OF THE DEALERSHIP. I WILL GLADLY REFER FRIENDS TO THIS DEALER AND THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED WITH MY RECENT PURCHASE.

I used the website to obtain information about some of the used cars, I also filled a trade-in form to estimate what I may get for my car. Within minutes of doing that I received a call from Wayne who gave me a few of the cars available and set up an appointment for me to go in. I went in there the next day and Wayne spent quite a few hours with me and my husband looking at different cars, he even helped move a car seat from car to car. After test driving at least 4 different cars we agreed upon one and Wayne helped us through the process of figuring out what the appraised value of our trade in was, how much we'd have to put down and what our payments would be. He sent us to Randy who informed us that for the best rate only my husband should be on the loan, after hearing my dissatisfaction with that he advised us to take the car home without signing the paperwork and he'd talk to the banks in the morning to get me on the loan, it was after 9pm by then. The next day Wayne called and I advised him I was interested in one of the other cars we test drove for me. Randy went ahead at that point and got me added to my husbands car loan and got us approved for the second car loan in case I decided we did want the second car. Wayne was great with my kids, he didn't seem phased by their constant noise or whining. He is a no pressure sort of salesman, he'll get your questions answered and make sure you have everything you need before you walk out the door. He takes the time to help you find the right car within your budget. My experience with him was hassle-free and a pleasure, next time I need a car I'll definitely look him up. Randy too was great, very friendly and understanding of the kids, the second day we went up there to officially sign for my husbands car and go ahead and purchase mine he brought my kids some candy (after asking me first if it would be okay)! He got all our documents ready in a timely manner and we signed all the documents for both cars in the same sitting.I like Northside Ford, so far it's the only dealership I've been to where it doesn't feel like the salespeople are pressuring you into something you don't want to do and the people in the finance department actually listen to your concerns! Oh and I love the big play area in the middle of the dealership, definitely family oriented.

I was very impressed with the friendliness of Roddy Huff and James Hancock. When I came in for my appointment Roddy was with someone else so he referred me to James. I appreciate the willingness to share. James was very knowledgeable about the vehicle.I also appreciate the patience James and Eric had with me in helping me to come to my final decision. I will refer others to Northside Ford because of the professionalism of these gentlemen and how they treated me. As for me,a single woman, purchasing a vehicle by myself is a stressful situation anyway and these guys made it more comfortable.

I have purchased two vehicles within the last two years a Honda which I had a very negative experience on. the other a BMW which wasn't so bad.When it came time to purchase a truck for business which I needed fairly soon. I decided to look around for well rated dealers which is what brought me to Northside Ford. I special ordered it took a little over two months for me to get my truck which was expected .I would also like to say that I had made a mistake and thought that I was way overcharged for a few thousand. However after I posted a review I was contacted by Matt Starnes who reviewed my paperwork and found that there were no discrepancies at least not as bad as what I had first thought. Which is in it self refreshing seeing how most dealers after they have your money don't seem to care. However I still feel that I was overcharged $355. Although seeing how Wayne Alderman took me down to the gas station and filled my tank up before I left I guess I could consider it only $300. Wayne and I had made an agreement over the Internet for an out the door price. When I got there. There was a window etching attached to the invoice which is $399. I explained that I did not want that. To make a long story short Jerry Valdez said that they would throw it in free. I feel that it was simply discounted. I guess the problem I have with it is that my insurance agent from State Farm would not recognize their etching because it does not include the vehicle identification number. Which I think most people associate with the term etching. Maybe I should look into going to Allstate and see what they say about it.All in all I had a good experience with this dealership Matt Starnes certainly turned things around for me. I will probably come back in the future and would recommend them to others. Bottom line From what I experienced with just communicating with other dealerships Northside Ford is probably the best dealership in town.

My wife surprised me with a new F-150. She says the Salesperson (Rick Huelsenbeck) was very patient and helpful in getting exactly what she wanted. I love the truck and everybody we came into contact at Northside Ford were helpful and professional. They took extra time to explain every function and option on the truck and introduced us to the service department area, in case we needed them in the future. Rick took extra time to program my cell phone for use in the truck. I would not hesitate to recommend Northside Ford to family and friends. My wife is equally impressed with the level of professionalism and product knowledge the staff had. They made us feel special and even went the extra mile to put a big bow on the truck for her to surprise me. We love the truck. Thank you to everyone at Northside Ford and especially Rick Huelsenbeck for assisting my wife in picking out this special truck for us.

Mr. Anthony was very friendly. He did not act like a typical salesman-(pushy, trying to get you to do what you cant afford, not listening to what you are telling them you can do as a buyer). Mr. Anthony was nothing like that. he listened to what we wanted and what we could do and worked with us. he wasn't pushy at all and was very professional.

This was my second truck that I have purchased from Northside Ford by working with Carl Campbell. Quite honestly, I would purchase a Ford vehicle anywhere else. The people at Northside are friendly, upfront and honest, and whether I'm working with new car sales or the service department, they have always lived up to their reputation of customer satisfaction. With this dealership, they don't play the usual car sales games with you, so it makes the whole process much more amicable and trusting. The ease of consummating a transaction is second to none. I was able to satisfactorily complete the entire sale in a shorter time at Northside than any other dealership I've ever bought from, and that's saying something since I've owned more than 25 vehicles in my life. I was very happy with the pricing, the value placed on my trade in, and the overall care taken by the Northside staff in working with me. I've been to the other dealerships before, and trust me, there's no comparison to the guys at Northside. They're great, and when my new truck is ready to be traded in, and it's time to buy another one, I'll be back at Northside working with Carl Campbell again. There's just no sense in wasting time with the other car dealers. I just don't need the aggravation from them, when I know that Northside and Carl are there to make the deal so much easier. Do yourself a favor, and check them out, you'll be glad you did.

I have bought several cars and some of our family and freinds have bought cars from this dealer and most of all Marty. Marty is great to work with and he is not pushy. Price is not always the answer in buying cars, sales and service maen more. Northside and Marty are more then just care salemen.

Sheila and i immediately enjoyed Charles Young, not only is he a lot of fun, he is a professional car dealer. And i know because i used to be in the business, for quite a few years. Charles' knowledge of the Ford products is impressive, specially the Fusion. He has called three times after the sale; at a week, at a month and at two months. Overall - If Charles is the norm at Northside Ford then that dealership is GREAT!!!

Nate was a new sales person at this dealership when I purchased my 2011 Mustang. Nate is a very dedicated, professional, corteous and pleasent individual which show that his only goal is not only to sell cars but to please the customer in the process. He was very helpful during the preliminary negosiations and a great help at the time of closing the transaction, he helped me get the best price possible and was instrumental in getting some accessories as part of the final deal.Choosing Northside Ford and Nate Pierson is a "no brainer", together, they will get you the best deal possible as they did for me and will shower you with after sale courtesies and service.

This dealership and Charles bent over backwards to get me a car. My credit was not good, but they managed to put me in a brand new 2011 Ford Focus. They went out of their way to get me financed, even the interest is high, but that I had to accept, that was not their fault. Good job. Linda Schuk

Curtis made the entire car-buying experience very quick and easy. I requested a quote online, and he got back to me immediately with prices and times I could test drive a car. Once I found the perfect car, we discussed pricing, where I ended up receiving an even better price than I ever expected to get. The process was very quick, and my car was available for pick up within a few days with added decals. Curtis also helped me get an outstanding price on my trade in.

I enjoyed my experience at Northside Ford. My sales representative was Rowdy Huff. Rowdy is about meeting the customer's needs first and making the sale second. I was very upside down in my car and Rowdy did the best he could to put me in a new car with the confidence of knowing that I will have a warranty and still make comfortable payments on the new car. Northside Ford has a valuable asset in Rowdy Huff!

This was my second car purchase in last 2 years at Northside. Fantastic experience. Was able to surf net to look at inventory, pre-select cars of interest, set up appointment to test drive,etc. No pressure, and able to beat estimated prices by both USAA and Edmunds.Highly recommend the internet sales site and staff.

Let me begin by saying, that this was by far the easiest purchase of a vehicle that I have ever made. I have been thinking about purchasing a new truck for some time now, mainly for business and travel. I visited six dealerships in search for the perfect SUV and had narrowed my choices down to a ford. Toni made me feel at ease from the very beginning which immediately I liked. I test drove the expedition and immediately knew this was my next vehicle. Toni knew I was in a hurry as I had other obligations to attend to and immediately began the process of evaluating my trade in vehicle. It was not long before an offer was made on the trade in and the new vehicle. Ron the finance guy promptly explained the rebates and off we went. Upgrades were offered and I decided on the leather package. After a little more negotiation a deal was struck. Toni was likeable and friendly, but not overbearing. At no time did I ever feel pressured by Toni and after many bad experiences at dealerships in the past; I truly appreciate the professionalism and expediency with which my purchase was treated. Great job, love the Expedition and can't wait to see the new leather package!!!

I wanted to buy a new car quickly. I contacted NS Ford via web and a lot of the approvals and selection were done via email & phone calls. I was in & out within 2 hours with my new vehicle exactly the way I wanted it. Curtis was great! I would recommend him to anyone. Who wants to buy a new vehicle.

Danny won me over when I was very skeptical of the overall dealership name since I had a terrible experience with with another manufacturer but same dealer family. I was very straight telling him I probably would not buy from them. He asked to give him the opportunity. Everything that Danny said was straight and to the point no pressure while helping me get the best price possible. He won me over and I will let my friends know and if I ever need another vehicle I know that I can trust him and Northside Ford.

Great service, very informative, and no pressure which I appreciated. All questions were answered honestly. I have purchased three vehicles previous to this 2011 Edge, and this was the most pleasant car buying experience. I would recommend Northside Ford and Dino Urdiales to anyone.

It was accidental, in a way, that I ended up at NS Ford. However, from the minute I met Richard and let him know straight-out my expectations and guidelines, the deal remained as professional and straight-forward. About to enter a new workforce, I needed a reliable vehicle that met my needs and budget. Richard realized soon that the initial vehicles we were looking at were not meeting these needs, and took the extra time to find a vehicle that might profit him less, but me more. That, to me, told me that the people who worked to support that deal, as well, Jerry & Carl, were also more centered on customer service than on picking-up an extra buck for the present.

Met with all our needs on the purchase of the vehicle. The sales person was more than couteous and more than eager to explain everything and showed every vehicle that we might be intereted in the class that we wanted. He was all the way through the process, begining to end of sale.

I needed to purchase a vehicle before the end of the year in order to take advantage of some tax savings. I had been shopping for several days, but could not find the exact truck I was looking for. I stopped by this dealership merely because I was in the area, and turns out they had 2 of the 3 exact color schemes I was looking for. It was late afternoon on New Years Eve (approx. 4:30pm Friday December 31, 2010) when I arrived. Even at that late hour on a Holiday, I was treated with the utmost professionalism. Our Sales Rep Danny Armstrong was very thorough and took the time to answer all of my questions. The Trade value and purchase price were very fair with no haggling, and the finance process was quick and painless with no "upselling". I would highly recommend Danny Armstrong and Northside Ford!

This dealership was very helpful in all areas. Vivian was very informed and knew her products and worked several days to find the exact truck I wanted. Then she took the time required to go over all the operating systems and explained in detail, demo the sync system,set up my phone,etc. I would recommend this dealership to anyone who wants to have a good experience when buying a new car or truck. This is a good dealership and I will return for my next F150.Finally, we all should help Ford, they have done an excellent job, without fed money....keep it up Ford.

Everyone is great to deal with, from the three stated above to their people in the service departments and body shops. Very professional and approachable. I have been dealing with Northside Ford since 2003 and will continue the relationship. I would recommend Northside to anyone looking to buy a new vehicle.

Extremely friendly especially the two salespeople we worked with. The managers on the other hand would not honor a discount certificate from the NRA. We purchased 2 cars 1 new and 1 used but the pricing on the new car could have been better if they honored the certificate.

Even though we did not come to a price agreement on a truck, I think Marty is still a very courteous, friendly Salesman. Thank you Marty and I wish that we could have came to an agreement about the price on a truck, but I still appreciate your time in showing us the truck, you were very kind. Thank you Marty.

Wayne Alderman has to be, by far, the most professional, courteous, friendly, and easy going salesman I have ever encountered. His non-pushy/non-aggressive approach made the 2011 ford focus ses sell itself. Keep up the great work and good luck to all your future sells at Northside Ford.

Marty was very patient and showed us several trucks over a couple of weeks. He understood what our goal was for a new trucks and worked to find one that met all our needs. He also worked around our work schedules to provide test drives and vehicle demonstrations.The purchase process at Northside was very easy and not stressful.Thanks!

Jason Pelmear made the purchasing of my new 2010 Ford F150 Lariat a pleasurable and quick experience. Total time from test drive, trade in value to me driving away in my new truck was less than 2 hours, and most importantly I was treated with respect and Jason, David Starns and Jerry in Finance all valued my business. I highly recommend NorthSide Ford and specifically Jason Pelmear. Great Job Guys!Cheers, Justin CrispTexas Realtor Lic 506577Keller Williams Legacywww.CrispTeam.com1102 E.

Jason was a wonderful help in finding my new truck. This is the third truck I have bought from this dealership and eventually I will be back again. I would recommend this dealership and Jason as a sales person to everyone and have already passed his name on to a few friends. Jason did his best to ensure we were getting all in the truck that we wanted, a great price for my trade, and financing at the best possible rate. He truly made this experience quick and painless unlike other dealers and salesmen who assume that females are idiots. He treated me with respect and I will buy from him again.

I was sick and tired of dealing with Red McCombs dealerships, I always walked away feeling like I was ripped off. I chose Northside Ford because they had a great selection of trucks and the process was extremely easy. It only took about 2 hours from test driving to driving off the lot in my new truck. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. I didn't have to haggle over the price, I told them what I wanted and they did it.

I took my mother to Northside to help her by a new car. Keith met us at the door, introduced himself and asked how he could help. From that point forward he took great care of us and made the car buying experience great for my mom. All employees we came into contact from his sales manager to the credit manager to the young lady at the entrance that greated people were just wonderful. I would highly recommend this dealership.

This has been my 3 car purchase from this dealership and I will continue to be a repeat customer and refer friends and familt members as well. I also want to thank Ron (finance manager) who took care of a brake problem I experienced shortly after purchasing the car.I love the team work here at Northside Ford and will not consider looking any where else to buy my next vehicle!!!!Sincerly,Cassandra Stallngs

Purchasing a vehicle is not one of my favorite activities. I have experienced sales persons trying to pressure me into a sale, Sales Managers trying to adjust and present the total cost in different methods to confuse the buyer. I have experienced this in the past from this dealership. That was years ago and this sale was totally different. The time I spend with Tony resulting in a no-pressure, relaxed purchasing experience. Tony answered my questions, allowed time to look, compared vehicles, and when it was time to negotiate for the total sales price he was professional and did not try to play games. We (my wife the negotiator) had Tony running back with a new counter proposal multiple of times without getting frustrated. He worked the sales hard and continued to keep his cool and humor. Even during the time when there was a small misunderstanding, he stayed professional and worked to ensure both the dealership and us remained pleased with the sale.Tony did a good job in explaining the various functions of the new vehicle, and on a follow up visit, he spent time with us to continue through the introduction phase.I was pleased with the sale, the experience, and been able to work with a professional like Tony. I know when I visit the dealership for more information or for routine service, Tony will be greeting me as if I was a new client and old friend.Thanks Tony.Jimmy Ginn

This was by far the best experience my husband and I have ever had when buying a vehicle. Everyone, especially our salesperson Ryan, was very friendly and helpful. They were very knowledgeable about the vehicle I purchased and I can honestly say that we will be buying all of our future vehicles from Northside Ford in San Antonio, Texas.

Purchased 2010 F-150 truck on October 1st, 2010. Staff was friendly and helpful, especially our sales rep, James. Since we came from out of town (150 miles), they fully understood that I did not want to waste my time listening to sales pitches and being made to wait. James listened to what I wanted/needed, all our questions were answered to our satisfaction, and we were able to work out a deal in about 2 hours. So far, they've delivered what they promised. Nice dealership, clean and comfortable.

Our experience was superb! Charles Young at the internet sales office is the best! I never thought buying a new vehicle would be so painless. Every need and every request was not only met but exceeded. I would surely recommend Charles Young to anyone looking for a no nonsense approach to buying a vehicle. Our entire visit was a pleasant one. One that was met by the entire team at Northside Ford.

I was looking for a Ford Fusion Hybrid, and thought about going to Northside Ford. I checked them out over their website and had entered some information there. Jason quickly contacted me and kept in touch about once a week, while I shopped around for which model of the Fusion I wanted. One day, without notice, I walked in and was immediately greeted by folks there, and shown to Jason's office, whom was working later in the day, so I met up with Marty Martinez. Marty took over for Jason until Jason arrived later, so Marty and I went and did a test drive.The car has a lot of technical features, including the navigation system, satellite radio, the backup camera, SYNC, etc., and Marty went over some of the highlights of all the features. By then, Jason had come into work, and I got to meet him. I left shortly after.Once my finances were firmed up, which took a couple of weeks, I called to make an appointment with Jason and told him I was coming to buy a car. I was a few minutes early to my appointment, but Jason was there, ready to go. We went and picked out which car I wanted, did a once over to make sure everything was ok, and then went for a test drive on surface streets. We returned to the dealership to start the paperwork.The paperwork portion was the most pleasant I've experienced. We didn't talk price or haggle, but I went in with a set limit, which was below MSRP. I figured I'd have to haggle when the purchase order was drawn up, but the price on the purchase order was well below my limit. Jason then got the ball rolling on getting the car ready while I went over to settle up with the financial guy (sorry, don't remember his name, but he was very nice and respectful too), and then back to Jason's office for a detailed explanation of the manuals, the SYNC system, and then out to the car for hands on explanation of all the features of the car. Jason made sure that we got an antenna for the radio before letting me leave the lot.Jason, Marty, and others treated me with respect and professionalism which can be rare today. They were very patient with showing the car, especially on the day I showed up unannounced. Jason kept up in contact with me, not pressuring me to come in or anything like that, but just a friendly, "hey, we're still here when you want to come and look or buy cars."I look forward to giving Northside my business again in the future.

This is the second vehicle that I have purchased from Northside Ford in the last 10 months. In December 2009 I purchased a 2010 Ford Focus. Northside Ford was recommended by USAA. The reason I purchased the Focus was price, dealer friendliness and the respect that was given to me and my wife. I purchased the 2010 F150 because of the service I received on the Focus. I've been back to Northside Ford on several occasions for routine maintenance. Each time the service staff was knowledgable, friendly, and very professional. For example during a recent storm the Focus picked up a nail in the drivers side front tire. I called the Ford 24-hour service help line. A truck came to my house in less than 30 minute and replaced the defective tire with the spare. The next morning I brought the bad tire to Northside Ford. The storm knocked out power to Northside Ford so they were not able to repair it immediately. I left the tire with the service department. Several hours later with power restored, I received a phone call at work to pick up the tire. Northside Ford placed the tire back on the Focus and tested the vehicle to ensure it was working properly.In July I began to think about replacing our 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan. I contacted Danny Armstrong during a visit to service the Focus. He showed me several options. During the next two months we exchanged emails and phone calls regarding the purchasing of a truck. Last week I met with Danny to test drive an F150. After discussing the vehicle with my wife, I returned to Northside Ford where Danny let me take an F150 home for an overnight test drive. I showed the F150 to several knowledgable friends. They told me the quality of the F150 was excellent and the price could not be beat. After my wife test drove the F150 we were convinced we wanted to purchase the truck.At no time did I feel any pressure to purchase either the F150 or other vehicle. My relationship with Mr Armstrong was professional from the start. Northside Ford beat the USAA and Edmunds recommended price for the F150. They gave me more money for my trade-in than I expected. To get one of the incentives we had to finance part of the F150 thru Ford Motor Credit Company. Normally this is an intimidating experience. Not so with Northside Ford. The credit manager walked us thru the process of completing the forms and submitting them over the Ford Intranet to Ford Motor Credit. In minutes the financing was approved.Northside Ford and their entire staff has my highest recommendation.

Our sales person was Keith Gatzke. We told him what we were looking for and what we were looking to buy and he made some suggestions. Very professional without being pushy. He either know the answers to all of our questions or was able to find the answers quickly. Bottom line, we feel we bought a great truck and a great price!

I was very pleased with the personal and professional service I received from Charles Young. Northside Ford had a great inventory and were very competitive on the new vehicle price, trade-in value, and were also able to beat the pre-approved financing that I had arranged. The vehicle was immaculately clean at delivery and the systems review was complete and well done.Al in all this was one of the best new vehicle purchases I have experienced.

There are no words that I can express or really say about this dealership and my sales rep, Charles Young. I have been bragging to friends and family of how good this dealership is and how the customer service is Triple "A" in all places. Mr. Young is beyond reproach and is the Top Salesman of the DECADE. Great attitude, trustworthy, dedicated and very passionate about getting you in a car of how you want it! I call him my BIG BROTHER from ANOTHER! Always greeting you as you walk into his office or if he's walking around the dealership! It is a true blessing to move from Kansas and come here to find such great customer service and satisfaction. I would recommend this dealership to anyone and everyone! They should open up dealerships across the globe! NORTHSIDE FORD IS #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Between my wife and I, we are typically in a vehicle purchase cycle about every 3 years, and to be honest I look forward to it about as much as I look forward to my annual physical. Vehicle shopping is usually a painful but necessary fact of life...that was until I met Garrett Alderman and the fine folks at Northside Ford. I am a third generation San Antonian and have been on the majority of the car dealerships in the San Antonio area throughout my life, but have NEVER experienced anything remotely close to the positive experience that I've recently had while at Northside Ford. As a smart shopper in the computer age, I had spent the better part of the last year doing my due diligence visiting all the other area Ford dealerships online and in person, but in the end no other dealership had the final critical component; the unique sales approach and style of Garrett Alderman. I visited the lot on the afternoon of August 14th and Garrett showed us a few vehicles and was very thorough about answering all of our questions and made sure to point out all the critical features of the F-150. I found great prices on the trucks out at Jennings Anderson Ford, but in the end I felt that I owed it to Garrett to come visit with him one last time before I made my final decision purchase. So, this past Saturday evening, exactly 4 weeks since we last stepped on the lot, I stopped onto the lot and to my surprise, Garrett remembered me and my family and the exact vehicle that I had been shopping for, an F-150 (he even remembered the exact color and spot on the lot of the last vehicle we looked at...amazing). From there on it was just a matter of picking out the final vehicle that I wanted and then getting on with the paperwork. Garrett's manager and the rest of the team were stellar and made closing the deal as painless as possible.A lot can be learned from Garrett's low-pressure style and high customer service approach, as HE is what brought me and my family back. You now have a family of customers for life. Thank you Garrett and thank you Northside Ford!William Galvan

I enjoyed my visit to your dealership saturday the 4th of September 2010. My sales person was Ryan Sandvig and he was not only great with customer service he did his best to give the deal that i wanted. Unfortunately, we did come very close to matching the deal that i wanted however, we did compromise and i bought a certified used F-150 XLT. I am returning to the dealership this wednesday so we can put on the running boards and get the truck detailed. My experience was exciting because we had most managers and even the general manager trying to give me the best deal possible. I have to say i was determined on getting the deal i wanted and we got close enough and i was convinced that it was the best we could do. Overall, i am pleased with my visit and i will recommend future customers.

Jack Clarkson was outstanding!!!! He was very friendly. He is a key example of what a great car sales man should be. My experiance with him was great, because of Mr. Clarkson I will shop at North Side Ford for years to come. Mr. Clarkson deserves a promotion as well as a raise, I have been to a few dealerships and was not pleased with the customer service. If you are looking for a car, contact Mr.Clarkson at North Side Ford, You will not be amazed at the great customer service Mr. Clarkson provides. Thank You Jack for all your help. Stephanie

From the time we walked into the dealership I was very impressed with everything. I used to work as a ASST. SERVICE MANAGER almost 40 years ago. I know what to look for and I have to say this place has everything in order. From the time you walk into the dealership until you drive out with the car. It is too bad all dealerships are not as good as this one. The sales staff were very nice, and what is important they know their facts. They don't give you any crap. It is business and they made us feel good. They were friendly to us at every step in the operation. When speaking about the price they did not get upset with me. I spoke up for my son, an Iraq vertran of six times. They gave him the respect the military guys need to have. They deserve to have all the military personal come to them for their own cars. We were at another one on 410; but they turned me off. They would not deal for the price and they seemed to have a faulse face. The young man we dealt with was very pride full and only went so far. I am glad to say that Northside has proven to me that their are truly good people in the car business. I take my hat off to them; the salesman, JACK, was so nice, friendly, he even thanked me for my service, too. Do I think you should go to this dealership; i think if you don't you will miss a very nice sales experience of your life. it was that great. Thank-you for such a great time with you all.the preaching machine.

I really enjoyed my experience with Northside Ford. Everyone I dealt with was very friendly and helpful. Jason and Marty did a great job finding me exactly what I wanted and responded fantastically to all my questions and concerns. Unlike other dealerships, I never felt pressured. I was upfront that I was just looking the first time I went to look at Escapes and never felt like I was being pushed into anything like with other dealerships. I will definitely recommend Northside Ford to friends and will pass along Marty and Jasons information.

Of the 13 cars that I have purchased during my life, this has been the most pleasant and unstressful experience that i have encountered. They focused on what I wanted in a car and were exceptionally great to work with. I would recommend Northsire Ford and in particular Curtis Markham and David Starns to all my friends/family and acquaintenances. Specifically, They matched what I wanted in the automobile (Color, Interior, Features, Trade-In, Overall Price). They did not play games in the negogiations.

I found my overall experience at Northside Ford to be better than the other dealerships I worked with. I did my research and was ready to make a deal. I actively pursued 4 dealerships in the San Antonio market. I found Northside's sales staff to be very professional, friendly and more importantly ready to close the deal. John, although young and fairly new to this dealership, was a pleasure to work with. He was polite and ensured that I was confident in his abilities by immediately introducing me to his sales manager, Ron. Ron was a seasoned pro, however, he was very focused on what I wanted vs. what he wanted (to sale a car). I dealt with Richard in the finance department and the dedication to great customer service continued as we finalized all the paperwork. I have already had "after the sale" contact with Ron and John and the great experience continues. I would highly recommend Northside Ford to anyone looking to achieve the best bang for their buck and enjoying the "car buying" experience.

We appreciated everthing the dealership did for us to make sure we were happy with the vehicle we bought. We were given a variety of vehicles to look at based on what we were considering to purchase. We were provided with the pros and cons of each vehicle which was a great help! We never felt pressured nor rushed into making our selection. The best part is we spent minimal time in the purchasing process. We had such a great experience that we will definitely recommend friends and family to purchase from Northside Ford.

Last week I drove from Austin, TX to San Antonio, TX and purchased a new 2010 Ford Escape. The purchase of this vehicle was far beyond my expectations. Northside Ford exemplifies the best of customer service, integrity, professionalism, and friendliness. In my experience with car dealerships, I have never been so impressed with the way I was treated by Northside Frod, specifically, Chad Worrell, William Franklin, and Rob Strom. All of my questions were answered to my complete satisfaction. I will highly recommend Northside to anyone considering selling a car as part of a trade-in or buying a new car. The many advantages of working with Northside Ford far outweigh the short drive time from Austin, TX. I will NEVER purchase another vehicle without Northside Ford.

I will definitely return to Northside Ford to buy my next vehicle and hope that Wayne is still there when I do!

We have dealt with Northside for many years and bought many cars from them. We always go to Skip McAdams. He makes purchasing a car as painless as possible and never pressures us. WE chose to drive from Arizona to San Antonio last month to purchase our new car from Skip and Northside again. They are honest, dependable and sell a good product. WE have never had a problem with our cars. the finance department is honest and professional and the service departmen always gave us personal service. when we buy a new car, Skip takes us out and explains everything about the car and demonstrates.

When considering purchasing a Ford Mustang, I visited Jordan, Bluebonnet, and Northside Ford to check inventory and compare prices. While at Northside, I had the opportunity to meet James Hancock. James was very informative about the Mustang and its options. He also worked with me to ensure I have a great experience in choosing my car and worked with management to ensure I received a great price. During the test drive, he pointed out features and functionalities not normally highlighted. When I purchased the car, he helped configure the display options and ensured I felt comfortable in the car before I left the lot. My thanks to James for going beyond expectations to ensure my experience in purchasing a Ford product is exceptional.

We had a wonderful experience in this dealer and our sales representative was very nice and accommodating to our needs. We greatly recommend this dealership and sales representative. We left with the truck that we were looking for with a great deal in our hands.

This was the best experience I've ever had in purchasing a new vehicle. Sales person was highly knowledgable of the vehicles features, answered all questions posed and allowed my wife and I time to browse the inventory available with the features we desired.

Had an issue with service. From the start Cavitt Moon assured me he would take care of the situation. He lived up to every word. From there Jim Thompson, Chad Worrell & Marty Martinez made sure that the issue had been handled to my satisfaction and I left there completely satisfied.

Ryan really made me feel comfortable and at home. I didnt feel any pressure to buy a vehicle. I was prertty set on a spending limit and he was able to make work. He sounded like he had been at Northside Ford for a long time. He knew alot about the Ford F-150.

Jack was extremely attentive and answered several questions about the vehicle. He even had one of his co-workers help us with the microsoft phone system in the vehicle. The financer was quick and processed the information rather quickly. The only drawback was when the credit card downpayment was provided, no cashier on premise at the time in which your office called me back a week later to provide my credit card information again. This was the only inconvenience which made me rate the quality of work just a tad lower. The overall service was fantastic and Jack is great with the customers. I have already referred your dealership to a friend.

I had been trying to get a car for a few months and I heard about this dealership. Since I live out of town I looked online and placed a request for a contact. Wayne was very helpful in helping me find a vehicle that would suit me and that was affordable. He was very patient since it did take me almost a month to stop by, but when I did arrive I received the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE ever. I would definitely recommend anyone to stop by and look around. You never know what kind of deal you may get. Thanks Wayne!!

hello,I felt that all the personnel in the dealership were very friendly and wanted to earn our business, they generated their time and assistance with anything I needed. Ruben Coronado was sincere and focused on helping me. I would definitely recommend this dealership to others, lastly, the financing was reasonable too, very competitive.

For me it was a good experience, since I'm mostly out of town. I got a great deal on my truck. I had order a lesser equipped truck but a got a offer you cannot refuse with many upgrades for the same price, you cant say no. The rest the financing was clear no dark holes or un clear deals.

This was the first time in my buying experience that it was so easy to purchase a vehicle, it was pretty much fill out the survey online, speak with an associate, test drive vehicle and then purchase it. Took all of about 2 hours.Will definitely be back when i get ready to purchase another vehicle and will recommend this dealership to everyone I know.

I walked into the dealership with a deal already made by my bank on a certain car. After talking with the sales guy, Richard, I not only found the one model I wanted, but was also shown the courtesy and respect from a sales person who was more concerned about me then selling the car itself. After getting the finance people involved, NSF was able to get me a better deal then what I had gotten from my bank. I was in and out of the dealership, with a brand new car, in about two hours. Fast, friendly, and respectable service!

I was looking for a new 2010 mustang. I was going to be paying cash so I wanted a final walkout price TTL included. James Hancock got that quote for me and did not try to hard sell or pressure me to buy as many car salesmen will. He was polite ,professional, looked at the cars with me ,and answered any questions. After comparing price quotes from other dealerships I came back to see if they could improve their offer and he was able to knock off another $900 and that was good enough for me to buy right then.

No high pressure sales. Dealings were very straightforward, candid and to the point. They gave us a feeling of earnestness in negotiations. Keith was very friendly and knowledgeable about all Ford products. Also, there was a very nice selection of the autos we were interested in.

I had not shopped long for a car, but I gave jack the usual I'm not interested feel and he was not persistant or forceful about the sale. Shopping with a friend to insure I get a great deal, he suggested that we let jack help. Surely after given the chance jack jumped to my needs. He listened to what I wanted and continued to assure me that I be happy with any vehical I choose. Jack also recomended the pre-owned vehicals, which led me to find a variety of cars I could afford. As a first time car purchase on my own I had many questions and fears on this buy. Again jack was there with answers and tried his best to quote me with a price that matched what I could afford. He was very plesant and I would most likely go back to him with any car buying needs..

I really liked how eager Ryan was to help us. He did what he could to make sure we left with the car we wanted. Any questions we asked were answered and he was very helpful. I would definitely recommend Northside Ford and more specifically Ryan to anyone looking to buy a car. The service was greatly appreciated and I couldn't be happier with my new car.

I went into North Side to trade my truck in for a bigger truck. I bought my F150 extended Cab from Wayne and Marty last year and thought it was big enough at the time, however after about 6 months we discovered it just didn't fit our needs, so I call Wayne and explained my issue to him. Wayne explained to me then that it would be best if I waited until I had the truck for at least a year. So we waited for a year. When I came in I explained to Marty what I was looking for and what I wanted to do. We did all of the paperwork on Saturday however the banks were already closed. When I came in on Monday Wayne helped me find the perfect truck for me, it fit all of my needs and then some. North Side Ford went to bat for me with Ford Motor Credit and got me financed with the best possible deal out there for me. I would like to thank them all for doing such a great job and making the customer there number one priority.

I was recently looking for a new vehicle thru the internet 1st timer, submitted my request on edmunds.com as to what i was looking for in my car. Within several minutes "James Mandl" with Northside ford contacted me by phone the "Only Dealership" out of 5 others that responded that same day. My 1st impression of James is that he was very knowledgeble, and probably the best customer service ever experience, highly recommend Northside ford and James Mandl. Thanks FellasFrankP.S. love the new car

THE REASON FOR THIS RATING IS THAT OUR SALESMAN JASON PELMEAR WAS THE MOST AWESOME MAN WE HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. HE WAS HONEST WITH US FROM THE GET GO AND WALKED US THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT HE WAS DOING OR GOING TO DO. WHEN THE DEAL WAS DONE HE WENT OVER THE VEHICLE HANDBOOK WITH US GOING OVER ALL THE MAJOR DETAILS THAT WE NEEDED TO KNOW. SO WE HAVE TO SAY THAT WE HAD A VERY ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE WITH MR. PELMEAR AND WILL BE RECOMMENDING HIM TO FRIENDS A FAMILY INTERESTED IN PURCHASING A NEW/USED VEHICLE.

This dealership will tell you anything and offer anything so you buy - the story once you signed is way different and you are no longer going to receive assistance. They will not honor their comments and comittments and will be rude admitting they will only honor what is in writting.

Though looking for an inexpensive used car, Northside Ford and Rowdy Huff treated me with the same friendly attentive care as if I were buying a new car. At other dealerships, salespersons literally walked away once they learned my price range. I'm sincerely grateful for their kind service and recommend them highly.

I went to Northside Ford because I have known Mr. Charles Young for some time. He sold me my 2009 Ford F-150 crewcab about 16 months ago when he worked for another dealership and I was extremely satisfied with the way he does business. Also when I arrived at Northside Ford I was greeted warmly by employees and was very impressed by the way vehicles are displayed and how clean the place is. I will defintely return to this dealership next time I'm in the market for another vehicle.

Marty was very patient with us. He let us test drive a couple of vehicles. He took his time explaining the differences of each vehicle and spent a lot of time showing us all the "bells and whistles". I will visit Northside Ford the next time I'm shopping for a new vehicle and will certainly recommend Marty Martinez to all my friends.

Everyone was very friendly and attentive to our needs. We couldn't have had better service!! We only came to look and do a little window shopping. When we found the 2010 F-150 in the previously owned lot with only 4500 miles, we couldn't believe how much we could save. We bought it immediately.

I recommend this dealership.Wayne Griffith

Excellent experience buying a new vehicle! Salesman Paco paid attention to what I wanted and didn't want on a new Edge. Willingly showed me available cars with my requested features. James showed great patience with me when going over the NUMEROUS features. Would recommend North Side Ford without hesitation.

The first sales person to greet my family and myself was Richard (Last Name Unknown). I drove away within about 10 to 15 minutes and not a happy camper. About a block away I had my daughter call Northside Ford and ask about the deal I heard on the radio, (Richard didn't even check it out) the reply was yes and gave me the a contact person of Luis Colon. We went back and talk with Luis and now my daughter is driving her 2007 Focus. She is happy as well as myself. I am glad I follow my gut feeling, otherwise a sale would have been lost and I would never recommend this dealership. However with Mr. Luis Colon taking the bull by the horn, a vehicle was purchased and I would highly recommend this dealship and hopefully Richard gets his act together.

Let me tell you what I didn't like. The security window etching that I was forced to buy (I can get it free or 80% less somewhere else) , special nitrogen air for the tires that is useless. I guess North side Ford 12300 San Pedro Avenue San Antonio, TX 78216 could not throw in 2 mats for the the pickup truck I requested. The purchase transaction took too long and they said a check or cash would not be acceptable to purchase pickup (quote they would not be to happy about it. You want 250 characters you got it.

From beginning to end my experience was great. Eddie took as much time as needed to answer all of my questions and gave me an opportunity to test drive whatever vehicles I chose. After making my decision I was presented with an offer sheet that was a little higher than I would have liked. My counter offer was proposed to the dealerships management team and was approved. What more can you ask?

I always dread working with dealerships and always worry about any hidden information that comes out in the end. Vivian is an honest woman and she tells it like it is! She made the experience of purchasing a new truck so enjoyable!! With the help of her co-worker Marty Martinez, we were very confident in our purchase and we love our new 2010 Ford F150! You're missing out if you go and work with someone else!! Thank you so much Vivian for all that you do!! :) Marty, you did a great job on showing us the truck and helping us understand all its' features!

Each employee whom I met conveyed a welcoming attitude and friendly greeting along with an offer to assist me. Vivian Aguon responded within hours of my middle-of-the-night submission of an indication of interest in driving and potentially purchasing a new F-150. She was very knowledgeable and first attempted to understand what type of vehicle, price range, options and anticipated use I expected for the truck.The website allowed me to walk into the dealership with a fairly good understanding of various features and benefits. My questions were answered readily and without my feeling I was being "pushed" into making a buying decision. The follow-up with additional options, delivery prep, and spray-in liner was completed as promised.I would recommend Vivian to anyone looking for a new Ford. Northside Ford maintains an excellent web page and they have extended hours to accommodate the service needs of people.

Why I gave the rating I have given, is because I have never had a bad experience with Northside Ford. My sales person Marty Martinez (a very down to earth, easy to talk to and friendly person) is the best, he takes his time to make sure we get what we want and are sadisfied with what we purchase. He makes the whole experience of buying a new car as easy on us as possible. The service department at Northside Ford is also great, everyone is so friendly. One time I needed something corrected on a repair and although I could not get there before they closed Dan waited there for me to make sure the problem was corrected. I will ever forget that. Northside Ford and Marty Martinez ROCK.

I filled out an online request for my truck and it was only hours before Danny Armstrong contacted me. Talk about customer service! I was fully impressed with how I was approached over the phone and when I got to the dealer, The welcome was great! Danny never pressured me into anything and made my wife and I feel very at-ease. He explained everything to us in full detail and was up-front with all the fees. There was no "hidden agenda". Simply we were there to buy a truck and Danny made the process very easy!

I was recommended to this dealership and drove from Dallas to San Antonio to trade in my old car based on the strength of the recommendation. I was able to send all the information they needed to start a preapproval process by email, so that when I got to the dealership, all I had to do was pick out a car. Curtis, Digger, Bill, and the finance team were so fantastic. They helped me pick out a car in the right price range; they assissted me in getting it financed with a decent monthly payment. I was able to find a car in the color I wanted with all the things I was looking for: safety, fuel economy, price, and convenience. I have already recommended the team at North Side Ford to 3 of my friends and family. They really go out of their way to take care of the customer.

I actually had to search out Charles Young. I have bought probably 10 vehicles or so off him in the last about 5 or so years. I like the fact that he is extremely cordial and does not give you the "hand off" (in other words my manager would like to talk to you routine). He also is never pushy and actually lets you decide hey do I really want this vehicle. His demeanor has never been anything but professional and he is a valuable asset to whatever dealership he works at. The whole experience at Northside was nice and I don't believe we ran into anyone that wasn't friendly or wanting to help. Now I'll see how everything goes once I'm in for any type of maintenance. A $50,000 vehicle is a big decision and I know I have a lot of faith and trust in Charles and so that great interaction brings me back to buying from him.Randy

This was to be the first of four Ford dealerships we planned on visiting before buying the F150. I did lots of research on the truck, so I knew exactly what I was looking for. Wayne Alderman went out of his way to make this deal happen, so we decided not to look any further and bought the truck there. Everyone at the dealership was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks, we love the truck. Gary Walski

This was the best new vehicle car experience I have ever had. I left the dealership with the vehicle I was looking for, at the price I wanted to pay and without any ill feelings. It was almost like going to the grocery store to purchase a loaf of bread. I had heard an advertisement on the radio and I called the NorthSide to confirm what I had heard. Curtis answered the phone and told me they had sold the last vehicle that had been prepared for this deal but that there were others vehicles that could be prepared. After some research on the internet I determined it was a deal I could not pass up. The next time I am in the market for a new vehicle I will be calling Curtis and NorthSide ford.

I knew he had other customers waiting; yet he gave me his undivided attention, never rushing me. He also explained in detail about every truck I tested and that really impressed me. I will recommend my friends on your service.You have found a long-life customer!Thanks Marty.SincerelyRey Hinojosa

Mr Markland worked to insure that the deal I offered was accepted by his sales manager. This was not a small task, since I offered over $2,000 less than the asking price for a used vehicle. Then, he went the extra mile and had the vehicle washed, vacummed, and filled with gas. It was totally unexpected. Finally, Mr Markland offered to help to get the vehicle home as I could not find someone to drive the car to my home. Mr Curtis Markland is an outstanding employee of Northside Ford and someone you definitely want to do business with. (again and again)

The staff at Northside Ford did an excellent job of taking care of us. They made sure we left with the vehicle we wanted, with the accessories we wanted, at the price we needed. They were very patient with us as we changed our mind with the vehicle we wanted 3 times. The customer service was fantastic, and we will definitely make Northside Ford our preferred dealer for future purchases.

I have purchased many vehicles in my 55 years of age and there was always haggling and in many cases underhanded things the dealerships would do such as try to give me nothing for my trade-in, change the terms of the agreement (literally changing the prices, interest rates, length of payments, etc from one piece of paper to the next) to purposefully try to squeeze me for every nickel...and as I said, many many times in unethical ways. I've always heard dealerships tout no haggle or hassle free dealings, but until now had not actually experienced it. Not only were Kenny and his manager most professional, the numbers provided me were spot on with what I should be paying for the truck (verified through Edmunds). While the amount they quoted me for my trade-in was lower than I knew it was worth, when I saw the entire invoice I saw that they had reduced the sticker price substantially, on top of the incentives that I had already known about and were promised, resulting in an actual lower price for the vehicle than I had anticipated. I had to re-check the math when their offer to me came under the TMV for the vehicle and the offer for my trade-in was above what I knew was the trade-in value. In other words, I was momentarily speechless when I realized this was the case. Then, I thought, here it comes...they'll try to slap on a high interest rate and/or give me a high pressure sales pitch to try to get me to purchase an extended warrenty plan. Again, to my suprise and amazement, they (the finance guy) was able to get me a very low interest rate and did not pressure me regarding the warrenty plan. After purchasing probably 12 or more new cars in my lifetime I can say this truly was a no hassle, and actually enjoyable experience...with no after taste in my mouth or thought in my mind that I had been taken to the cleaners. All dealings were up front, fair and a win win for both parties. I sincerly appreciate it. I will wholeheartedly tell anyone about my positive experience. I've been spreading the word to all who will listen. Thank you. It was great doing business with you!! Stu Cowles

Customer service at Nortside Ford did a very professional job. Initially when I came to Northside Ford I was merely coming over to look at a black Expedition that I saw on the internet. When I arrived at the lot it was drizzeling some and your sales representative/William Franklin still took the time to show me the vehicle in the rain. I was very impressed by William for doing this.My overall car buying experience went very well.

My experience with Northside Ford was rather unique in that upon my arrival, I met Ruben Coronado (Sales Consultant), and discussed my needs, also that Jim Thompson was an aquaintance of mine & I would like to say hello to him before we proceed. Fortunately, Jim was nearby & we had a brief conversation before being introduced to John (Sales Manager). Ruben then found the vehicle I was interested in and negotiations were agreed upon. I now needed to get my title to the vehicle I was trading in. Shortly before I arrived at my home I was involved in a minor accident. Not sure what to do, I called Jim Thompson for advice and he suggested I bring the Auto to Northside Ford for repair and further negotiations. John now become heavily involved by getting a repair estimate on the damaged vehicle, arrived at an acceptable trade-in value and the deal was completed. Each of these men showed the greatest professionalism in salesmanship I have ever experinced. I highly recommend Northside Ford to anyone in need of a vehicle and particularly these men that I have had the honor of being involved with. Respectfully, Jesse W Warder Sr

This dealership has a strong customer focus and culture and it shows. Rowdy was excellent to work with. I asked a LOT of questions about a performance vehicle I was considering and never felt any pressure to purchase the vehicle. I was given the opportunity to speak with Peter Shalk, Business Development Manager about the car I was considering and Ford vehicles in general and we had a very pleasant and informative conversation. He, like Rowdy, was very helpful. Negotiations were very pleasant and we arrived at a fair deal very quickly. I look forward to working with their service department. If it's as good as the sales dept, this dealer will set the standard in my area.

Vivian was great from the time we got to the dealership. It was late in the evening because both of work, Vivian, however, stayed well after the store had closed to make sure that we got the best deal possible. It was extremely cold that evening and Vivian would bungle up and go the furthest place on the lot to bring a truck and show to us. She made sure my and my wife stayed inside where it was nice and warm while she did all the running around. She answered all our questions and made sure that we stayed in the price range that we wanted. I would recommend Northside Ford to anyone that would ask and would make sure that they looked up Vivian when they got there.Sincerely,Ruben and Frances Garcia(210)490-1380

I came into Northside Ford looking for a used F150 on a budget as most customers are. I was doing a cash deal no financing. I explained to Vivian exactly what I was looking for. She pulled up her used trucks log and checked the vehicles out before showing me. I choose the second vehicle she showed me it was what I was looking for and the negotiated price fit my pocket book.I had a 95' Ford Bronco 230,000 miles excellent condition mostly because I have had my regular maintenance and added upgrades done here at Northside.Sadly a deer went through the windshield and the vehicle was a loss. Vivian was sensitive to the fact that I loved that truck and she realized by pulling up my name in the system that I am a loyal Ford customer. I felt like I was in good hands with her vehicle guidance.Carfax and all was clean just as she promised it was.Northside Ford worked hard to keep my continued business with them and Ford.

Based on a less than pleasant experience at Ray McCombs Ford West in Dec 2009, I had decided to cancel my plans to purchase a Ford vehicle. For about a month I considered other makes of car but Vivian from Northside Ford gave me a call and convinced me to give Northside a chance to make things right. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt like a valued customer. Wayne Alderman was my sales agent and he delivered everything I asked for (trade in value, price of car, and NO GAMES). He showed respect for my time and Northside showed the customer does come first. I am thrilled with my new Ford and looking forward to giving Northside my return business the next time the family needs a new vechicle. I will also be bringing all of my vechicles to Northside's service department as a result of my experience.

From the time that I stepped out of my car, Christopher was outside and appproached me in a very positive and friendly manner. During the entire time he and Scott were very professional and informative about my transaction. Every thing was explained to me in great detail during the test drive and while completing the transaction. I would give both the dealership and Christopher/Scott a five star rating.

Tommy Cude was very easy to deal with. Always trying to make me and my wife happy. Even after the sale he called me to see how things were going for me and my Mustang. The whole experience of buying the Mustang was great because of Tommy. I will go back to Northside Ford when I want to buy another Ford.

Luis was VERY nice to deal with; VERY courteous and informative with absolutely NO HIGH PRESSURE. It was a pleasure dealing with him. I don't remember the name of his Sales Manager but he almost blew the deal. He is a large OVER BEARING HIGH PRESSURE guy that really almost convinced me to leave the dealership after talking (and I use the term loosley) with him. Only through the niceness of Luis did we stay and complete the deal.

The salesman and manager were both polite and professional (not overly pushy). We ended up buying a vehicle that had a few more bells and whistles than needed but they gave us a better deal because we found a truck on their lot. We are happy and would certainly go back to them again.

We came into NS Ford to purchase a new vehicle. Keith was professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. He provided us with the information we needed to decide which vehicle would be best for our son and was patient throughout the process. He was very thorough with the "vehicle walk-through", showing my son how everything in the car worked.

My buying experience with Northside Ford has been the most pleasant and the most fun in the last 14 years because of Mr Charles Young, Internet Sales. He was friendly and very helpful. His no pressure approach, his sincere demeanor, and his very pleasant personality made me feel like I was dealing with a friend rather than an internet salesperson. Also, his internet access to other dealers made it easier for me to decide on the must have options. I am extremely happy with my new vehicle and very grateful for patience and his assistance in matching my needs with my financial parameters. I strongly recommend a buying experince at Northside Ford with Mr Charles Young for anyone looking for a new vehicle. I guarantee a very memorable experience.

My wife and I have been to several dealerships throughout San Antonio, I must say...that I am very impressed with the customer service that Vivian and Charles showed us. Although, I am not a Ford guy except for the Ford Mustang (LOL); they changed my mind quickly about the Ford F150. The dealership has the best customer service that I have ever seen in any business that I have been to. God has blessed this dealership with these two sales people. And the Service Department is also a reason why I get my car serviced there. The dealership has Triple A (A+++) service in our eyes; Charles, Vivian and the Service Department should be recommended for an award for the outstanding job that they do. And can not for the finance guy that handle the paperwork for us, I am truly honored and happy with dealing with this dealership. I have already recommended several of my friends and neighbors to the dealership to speak with Charles or Vivian! God Bless and God Speed! I found a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt that reminds me of Charles and Vivian.Famous Quote:People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

Northside Ford is a customer-oriented business 100% and it shows. We have been scouring the local area for a new Fusion for over two months and finally sealed the deal with Northside Ford once we made all the price comparisions. The best part was they never pressured us and offered us the best price for the package, which even exceeded USAA's target price. Curtis Markland worked with us on the internet and was very responsive, but not bothersome as some of the other salesmen were. The bottom line was they exceeded our expectations in every respect and I highly recommend this dealership to anyone who's trying to find the best deal on a new Ford. They're staff is very professional, patient, and they put your priorities above all else.

I have rated this dealership/salesman the way I have because they demonstrate that their customers are their #1 priority. All the staff was very professional, courteous, and very knowledgable regarding services, product, and financial options. I believe Mr. Alderman is an outstanding salesman and I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family for a vehicle purchase. I am glad I chose to deal business with Mr. Alderman and Northside Ford.

Out of all the dealerships that we have dealt with over the years Northside Ford was the best and I think it was because of Vivian. She was wonderful and she has such an awesome personality. When we purchase our next vehicle we will go back to Northside Ford and look for Vivian. Thank you so much for making it such an easy process for us Vivian.....we greatly appreciate it!

If you are looking for a dealership that has it all; look no further than Northside Ford in San Antonio, Texas. I worked with Charles Yound & Jason Pelmear. Once I narrowed down the vehicle that was right for my family, Charles and Jason worked extremely hard in finding a vehicle (2010 Escape) with the features I felt would met the needs of my family. Chales and Jason responded in an honest, direct fashion to the questions I had concerning the Ford Escape and not only pointed out, but demonstrated a number of important features that allowed me to make a better purchasing decision. I compared the Ford Escape against five other vehicles (in this category) and they directed me to a web site that allowed me to make a balanced comparison using independent data. Charles and Jason were extremely responsive and provided a superior service level in setting me up with the new vehicle. The closing was quick and efficient. Thank you for a great car purchasing experience!

Started with online searches through various sites to come up with the vehicle that we were looking for and approximate price that was fair to both the buyer and Ford. Contacted Northside Ford via their website and was put in contact with Charles Young. It was a very helpful process of searching for the vehicle we wanted and what they had on the lot. We are enjoying the 2010 F-250 King Ranch Crew Cab and look to many years of great service from the vehicle and Northside Ford. Thanks Charles.

This is the best car buying experience I ever had. When I arrived at Northside Ford the car I requested to see was ready and in excellent condition. Danny Armstrong, the sales representative was knowledgable, helpful, and not pushy. Other dealers were either unwilling or not able to give me any discounts. I was able to purchase a car with more features: bigger engine, more HP, automatic transmision,and keyless entry than the competition that I shopped both in person and online. The negotiation was friendly but not pushy. When I told Danny I needed to transfer my Disabled Veteran's plates to the new car, his staff had the printed forms ready for me at signing. He guided me thru the process to sell my current vehicle to my wife's co-worker ensuring everything was done properly. At the final signing there was no pressure for us to purchase ad-ons. When we accepted the vehicle it was spotless with a full tank of gas. Danny explained all of the features and controls to me and my wife.The dealership was clean and well stocked with an exceptional variety of vehicles. Even though the dealership covers a lot of ground Danny knew where his vehicles were located. No hunting and guessing to find them. When we contacted Danny on Friday my wife and I did not expect to purchase a vehicle that night. After much research we felt we were given a deal that we could not refuse.My wide and I have no reservations to recommend Northside Ford to anyone. My neigbhors who have seen our new car said we received a great deal. I drove out of my way to Northside Ford. It was worth the trip.

Both Charles Young and Tommy Cude were very personable and friendly. They were wonderful to work with and I enjoyed the experience. Tommy Cude found the perfect car for me and tried to get me the best deal he could find. I love my new car and it was all possible because of Charles Young's email to me in the first place, and Tommy Cude's willingness to help me. They were extremely nice and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to get a new or used car.

I was very pleased with the Results when I got my Ford F-150 2010 Model. I went in to the Dealership and ask for Ruben because almost 3 Years ago I bought a used Explorer 06 Model so I was very happy with everything he did thats why I ask for him. All together with picking out the Car the Paperwork talking and waiting it only took 3 Hours and that is fast. I always will by a Car at Northside Ford as long Ruben Coronado works there

I gave a high rating in quality of work based upon prior service experience I've had with this dealership on an Expedition I owned. It was this earlier service experience that prompted me to come to Northside Ford to price a new F-150 truck.There were a number of technical issues to work through because I will be towing the F-150 behind a motorhome. I was impressed by Ron's determination and ability to get the information we needed to resolve these issues.Vehicle pricing compared favorably with what Consumer Reports said was a fair price. We got to this price point rapidly without the tiresome back and forth negotiation process I've experienced at other dealerships over the years. Ford rebates definitely played a role in getting me to buy the truck. My only complaint with the sales experience was the length of time it took for the whole transaction. I arrived at Northside Ford at 11:00 a.m. and didn't get home until around 7:00 p.m. Part of the delay was my fault because my wife was unable to help me get home. Northside seemed unable to provide me with a second driver to get the new vehicle and my vehicle home in a timely manner. Part of the delay was due to internal lag time in communication between the sales and service departments in the dealership organization while working through the technical aspects of towing the F-150.Overall, I rate Northside Ford and their sales staff highly. Ron Sutton was friendly, respectful and attentive throughout. I'll be back for any future vehicle needs.

Dear Owner of Northside FordI just want you to know that I am very very very disappointed in myrecent visit to your dealership! I drove all the way from Kerrville tolook at a CERTIFIED pre owned ford expedition. I'm told before I getthere that it was a one time owner who traded it in with y'all.Looking at the carfax, it was not a trade in with y'all, but insteadwas bought at an auction (don't lie to me!!!)! I walk out to find avehicle with pin striping peeling off, a chip right in front of thedriverside window, a blatent hole in a back seat, and back bumpercracked where it had backed into something. But Darin said, "Oh don'tworry we will get that all fixed! It won't cost but $200 to fix allthat!" (yeah right). But it handled ok on the drive and engine seamedok (of course I'm very very leary at this point of the vehicle andsalesman!). So my wife and I go in to see what can be done with ourtrade in. Well, y'all would only give me like 8.5k (i'm rounding onall the numbers you are about to see, you will have to look in my fileto see the accurate numbers because the salesman wouldn't give me anypaper work when I left..keep reading) and I owed 10,900. so I'm upsidedown around 2k. Well the vehicle is already (in its not perfectcondition) over 2k above bluebook and I'm upside down 2k so supposedlyyour bank would not lend me the money. Ok, i can see that....So Darinsuddenly says, "wait here and I'll see what I can do!" So we waitaround while he goes talk to someone and comes back and says..." hereis what we are gonna do...we are gonna pay off your car, but you aregonna buy that expedition as is and we are not gonna fix anything.(TO WHOVER IS READING THIS NOW REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING NUMBERS) Yourpayments are gonna be425-435 per month at a 7.9 interest rate for 60 months." Now he showedme and my wife at this time in PRINT the total, after car pay off andprice of new vehicle with taxes and EVERYTHING came out to right under18k. I went over all the numbers and he said "All you are paying isthis (pointing to the total which again was right under 18k). So mywife and I stepped outside to talk it over. First thing I do is callmy mom who was by a computer and told her to go to daveramsey.com andpull up a payment calculator and put in 18k at 7.9 interest for 60months. Payments came out to $364.11!!!!! hmmmm he said 425-435???? Okmom...put in 20k at 7.9 for 60 months...$404.57!!!! hmm still lessthan 425-435??? So we go back in to Darin. I said, "I can't justifybuying this vehicle in it's current state." So Darin says, "I'm goingout of my way to help you and this is all I can do." So I asked himagain what the payments, interest rate and payoff time was for thispurchase. I also asked him once again what the TOTAL was that I waspaying after tax title license... He states, "425-435 at 7.9 and for60 months and total was 18k (again...i'm rounding)." "Ok...so whywhen I put this into a payment calculator on daveramsey.com at 18k for7.9 interest rate at 60 months, the total comes out to $364.11?" Ialso went over the totals for 20k with him as you read above. He wasspeechless! At this point, he throws up his hands and says,well...umm...ummm. I guess I'll have to go over these numbers tomorrowand get back with you. Any good saleman knows that you don't send acustomer away empty handed because the chance of closing the sale atthat point has drastically decreased! I asked for a copy, but he saidhe had to hold on to them to go over but if I wanted to go see what mybank would do for a loan he could fax it to them? At this point, I hadit with this guy and dealership!!!! It has been 4 days since all ofthis happened. And I have still yet to hear from Darin! Thanks Darinfor running off a customer that had you been honest from thebeginning, might have bought from you!!!I hope that you have better salesmen than this on your team, cause ifthis is your best guy.......Thanks for your time,Randy Stein

After purchasing a used BMW from a non-company dealer, I found myself with a really bad deal and really angry. I first went to Northside to look at a Mustang, but settled for the Ford Escape because I really needed something with a lot of cargo space. Curtis was incredibly helpful and really honest with me, much more so than the used dealer I worked with before. I have had the Escape for only a few days but have absolutely no complaints about the vehicle. My experience with Northside was very good, and they were actually able to get me a better deal on my car than I had expected, with some extras I hadn't thought of myself. I really like this dealership, and they have checked up on me since I bought the vehicle, which is really nice. I would recommend this dealership to someone else looking for a Ford.

I was very happy with the way everything went. I shopped online first. After finding what I was interested in, I set up an appointment to test drive and meet with Mr. Alderman. He was very friendly and greeted me immediately upon my arrival. After I made my decision on the purchase I was going to make, he accepted my offer and immediately went to get me financed. In no time, and I mean that literally, I was approved and I was headed out the door with my truck. I could not believe how fast everything went and am glad that no time of mine was wasted. Great job Northside Ford! I will definitely shop there again and recommend this establishment very highly.

After locating the vehicle I was interested in on the dealership's website, I sent them an email requesting a price for the vehicle. I was quickly contacted by email and telephone by the sales person. Less than 24 hours later we had a deal. Since I was buying from out of state I flew into San Antonio, caught a ride to my hotel on the hotel shuttle and the sales person picked me up the next morning an drove me to the dealership. Couldn't have been easier. The dealership is only a couple of miles from the airport and they would have picked me up directly from the airport if I hade arrived during business hours. The sales price was right around invoice. The only thing to be aware of is that the dealership adds a $50.00 document fee and a $74.06 dealer's inventory tax fee to the price we negotiated. Since these fees do nothing more than add to the dealers bottom line and are not really government fees it was a small disappointment in an otherwise very pleasant experience. Overall I would recommend contacting sales person Vivian Aguon at Northside Ford for a great deal and a low hassle purchase of a new Ford and I would buy from her again.

This was the fastest car purchase we have ever made. Everyone was very friendly and the car is just what we wanted. Vivian was very efficient in her handling of the sale. We would purchase again from this dealership. I have never been given a tour of the facilities to familiarize us with a service department which Vivian did and it was a nice touch for when we bring the car back in for service.

I went into Northside Ford to purchase a Ford Edge. I had done a lot of research and had a specific color and options in mind. Vivian did an awesome job of insuring all my requirements were met. When it came time to complete the financing paperwork, Marc was great. He worked very hard to make sure I got the best deal. I have purchased several cars from different dealers and have felt at times because I am a female I am not always taken seriously. This was not the case at Northside and I am so appreciative of that. I would definately recommend Northside Ford to a friend or family member. A big 'Thank You' to everyone.

I really appreicate everything that she did for me in this deal. And most importantly my father was very satisfied! Thanks a Million Vivian and Northside Ford for getting me what I want! Again Thanks, Sylvia Franco

My overall experience with this dealership was fair. The only reason it was not great was the lack of communication; I understand that there is a game in the car buying business. While I did not purchase a vehicle with them, I would still recommend working with them. My frustration stems from the Management not listening to the needs of the customer. I told my salesman from the beginning what my needs were, and what I was able to, and willing to do. I hid nothing in the process of buying a car, and yet my needs were not heard by the "Boss". In barttering there is some back and forth, some negotiating, but when you are told from the start that there are certain things that are downright unrealistic, why is it that the big bad "boss" doesn't listen to those concerns. Again, I strongly urge people to deal with Northside Ford, but also want to inform the buyer; be very clear that you will only accept a deal on your terms. Do what I did, if they are unwilling/unable to meet your needs, leave!

I was happy that Kenny met us directly once we arrived and was thrilled that he took the time to find us a vehicle, even though it had just arrived and was not quite ready. He did an excellent job of getting me the payments I wanted and stayed very late making sure all the paperwork was done and that the vehicle would be delivered correctly.

After visiting 2 dealers one of them was just giving us 2 choices, the other dealer didn't even acknowledge us. When we went to Northside Ford, they treated us like royalty, hey even offered to bring a car from another city. Finally Northside Ford gave us a great deal on the car that we wanted and at the price we could afford. We are fully satisfied with the service and we left with a big smile on our faces because we have the car that we wanted. The Sales Representative was extremely professional, knowledgeable and above all helpfull. I strongly recommend this dealership for any persons next vehicle purchase, we certainly will.

As a non-profit organization, we have to be careful about the use of our funds and when we needed a new maintenance truck, we checked everywhere--we got the best service and the best deal at Northside Ford. Mr. Martinez was extremely helpful, did not "beat around the bush" or waste our time. The buying experience was quick, to the point and extremely positive. We would be happy to do business with Northside Ford again.

Dennis and Chris made this an extremely enjoyable purchase. At no time was I hassled or rushed. I feel that a more than fair deal was made on both my trade and the purchase of the new vehicle. Dennis is a great sales manager who will continue to be the reason why I come back to Northside Ford in the future. As for the finance department, I have never seen a more competent and informative transaction.Jason Wolf

My wife and I showed up to "windowshop" and ended up buying a 2010 Ford Fusion Sport right off the showroom floor. I knew I wanted a certain color and option package, and thanks to Northside's great selection, I have my Tuxedo Black Metallic car with Black leather interior and Nav. Our salesman, Wayne Richards, made us feel very comfortable with the process and was very helpful as we looked at several different models. Wayne worked quickly and I was given a fair amount for trade in. Overall, this has been the most enjoyable car buying experience we have had. When my wife is ready to trade in her 2007 Prius, a new Ford Fusion Hybrid from Wayne and Northside Ford will be our replacement.Thanks Wayne, I can honestly say I WILL be recommending you to all of my family and friends when they need a new car.

I was especially impressed with the level of genuine interest in my buying experience. NorthSide Ford did an excellent job of explaining all available options without applying "leading" type information. Everthing was presented objectively and all of the staff were very courteous. I will definitely buy from them again when I'm ready.

Charles Young had worked with me I spoke to him the night before I had decided to come down & look at the car. I thought he was very thorough with me He listened exactly to what I had to say. He did so much to research everything about the car. If I could buy 10 cars from him I would. He was not pushy and was very polite. Im sure he will go very far with this company. All employees should take notice of how Charles does business with customers they would all be very successful! From a very satisfied customer, Teri

I was just browsing online saw a vehicle I liked decided to inquire about it through the web.. Within 24 hours I received a phone call from Wayne Alderman is sales.. Amazing to actually receive a phone call that quickly. I went to Northside Ford that evening test drove a few cars and decided to buy the origianl car saw online the night before. It was late so we started the process and by noon the next day Wayne had me taken care of.. Wayne Aldermnan was friendly and very helpful.. I would recommend if you ever are looking for a car at Northside Ford you ask for him! His customer Service is the only reason I amwriting this comment. Thank You Wayne I love my Ford Edge!!!!

The time this staff took to listen to exactly what I wanted, help me figure out what I needed, then find the vehicle that matched was amazing. I have always hated the car buying experience until I came to Northside Ford. Everyone who is interested in purchasing a vehicle should go to Northside.

It was good I just drove in with the intent to buy a used mustang. We test drove one and I lived it, but I could not afford the GT model. So Kenny asked if I would do a 2010. I said yes, he asked what color I liked and got me in a V6 premium package. It was in my price range and I am more satisfied with a new car purchase than used.

Having made my initial inquiries into a known vehicle that was shown to be in stock, I received a quick response from Northside, and eventually, the following internet quote (shown below). Once I visited the dealer, test drove the thier truck, I decided to purchase. Then, on the signing table, I noticed that there were two dealer add-ons that were never mentioned, and the salesman gleamed at me to see if I would notice. They were $50 for nitrogenated tires (yes, they put nitrogen into the tires instead of air??) and $300+ for a security feature that was basically vehicle window etching of the VIN on the windows. These add-ons were never mentioned to me in the "final quote" and were obviously meant to be placed on the sales agreement hoping I would not notice, and thinking that most people will finance the vehicle and will not care about the few extra bucks. Well, I was a cash buyer who did care, and did not appreciate the way in which they handled what would have been an easy sale...I walked out and never returned, even after several emails/phone calls I received from Northside afterwards. I eventually made my purchase at Red McCombs Ford, Internet Sales...very honest and reputable..I highly recommend Alex Lind and his team. I believe a dealer should stand by their internet quotes just as if it were in writing...and stop wasting peoples time in their dealership with such cliche tactics! I mean...Nitrogen in the tires....geeeese, give me a break Northside!____________________________________________________________________________Dear Jeff,Yes, this ranger does have 0% available for 36 months in liue of the Retail Customer Cash ($2500.00).

Jason spent in excess of an hour introducing us to all the features of the car and worked diligently to arrange a deal that worked within our budget. Charles was most friendly and most thorough in reviewing the car's manuals and warranty. Charles encouraged us to contact either he or Jason Pelmear regarding future questions about our new car, regardless of the nature of the question. The Business Manager thoroughly explained the extended warranty options and directed us to an appropriate economical extended warranty. Overall, a most pleasant car buying experience!

Employees were friendly and very helpful with picking out our new vehicle. I did not feel pressured by any of the sales people and the final decision was left up to my wife and me. The sales people worked with us on our trade in's and we were very satisfied with the value that they gave us for the trades. I would recommend Northside Ford to everybody who would like to buy a new or used vehicle.

Well, I buy a truck the same way I buy a shirt or anything else. # 1) Show me two of the type I asked for when I arrive in (two different styles) and in three different colors. # 2) One Rule to The Salesman, never answer a question that I {The Customer} do not ask.Mr. Young did as I asked, and once my wife arrived at the show room, Mr. Young and I had the selection down to two trucks, (1) Blue / Gray Cloth and the other (2) White / Light Brown Leather. My wife brought our daughter, both looked at the blue one with Gray Cloth interior and said with out even getting in the truck, said NO! Next to it was the White Lariat with Leather, both of them played fire drill, changing seats front and back, smiled and said, See you at home Dad, and left. Mr. Young asked Is there a problem? I said nope, we need to finish up the paper work; I dont want to be late for dinner. I purchased the Lariat we wanted.Dave Locke210-445-0322 (The #s unpublished; Keep it that way)

Our experience at Northside Ford was excellent. We were greeted by Mary Ellen Martinez De Escobar, she was very professional and treated us very well. I am happy with the purchase of my new F-150 Lariat Super-Crew Truck and the service that was given to me and my wife. I have purchase many vehicles over the years and I can honestly say that the service that I was given at Northside Ford was the best by far. ThanksPete Gonzales

I felt like I was in a "back-woods country" dealership. No professionalism, courtesy or manners. They way they conduct business is like nothing I've ever seen or experienced before. I tried to keep an open-mind, but these people don't have a clue. Maybe they should visit a Toyota or Lexus dealership just to see what their competition is DOING RIGHT! It's no wonder the imports are thriving while American-made is going down the tubes. I hope for Ford's sake, not all dealerships are like Northside.

She was very friendly and did everything she could to get me into the right truck at the right price. Most dealerships didn't listen when I told them exactly what I wanted but she listened and found the perfect truck with low miles and that fit my budget.

Besides going to North Side Ford for purchase and service on my 2007 Ford F150, the second vehicle I recently purchased was at this dealership, too. I have NEVER been much on liking dealerships for my vehicle service or sales, but NS Ford has really turned my opinion around from the service department to the sales department. So far, NS Ford is the only dealership I will be using for my future vehicle needs. Thank you for your number one service.

My husband and I enjoyed our first time experience with this dealership. Mr Gomez was very helpful. He was knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with. After test driving two trucks we decided on one. After the deal was made we went to finance and your representative was very helpful and worked hard to come down to as close as to my budget as possible. We enjoyed this dealership and are recommending Mr. Gomez and your dealership to all our family and friends.SincerelyVelma Hernandez

We had a very pleasant experience with this dealership and especially the internet sales associate, Vivian Aguon. She was very accomodating and very helpful in tracking down a vehicle which meet my wife's needs and providing as much information on-line as possible. She even offered the vehicle to us to use as a demo to make sure that this was a vehicle we would be happy with. We were very happy with the overall experience because we purchased that vehicle. We had a good experience dealing with this dealer and would highly recommend the dealership and in particular, Vivian. She was experienced, courteous and professional.

Very pleased with this car ;). The service I recieved was excellent and I will recommend this dealership to everyove. The way that your company has hassel free sales is an example for every dealership to follow. No one should be pushed to buy anything and your company gives you (the customer) the ability to make up your own mind.

We are very happy with our new 2009 Ford Focus and a big part of the reason is the excellent customer service we received from Kenny Harrison at Northside Ford. He answered all our questions and made what could have been a very frustrating experience (because we were also dealing with the Cash for Clunkers process) into a positive event. We highly recommend Kenny and Northside Ford to anyone who is looking to buy a new or used car!!!

Vivian was great through the whole sales process in helping my daughter trade in herold car and picking out a new that fit her needs and wants. It was my daughters first experience at buying a car and Vivian made very easy and enjoyable.Matt was wonderful to work with. Very easy to work with and accomadating.Paperwork was already for us when we arrived to finalize sale and the processwas the most painless I have been through in buying a new car.

Our sales consultant took the time you learn about our driving habits and needs and then suggested an appropriate vehicle to fill our needs. I was particularly impressed that the car he recommended to us was less expensive than the car we were originally interested in purchasing. This was the best car buying experience I've ever had.

David is the best. We bought vehicles from many dealerships and have never recieved service at the professional level David gave us. On a scale of 1-10 i would give him a 15. We purchased our vehicle over the internet with David and it was everything he represented it to be. Northside Ford is truly fortunate to have an employee like David Mueck.

James Robles & the agent who closed out the paperwork were very friendly and professional. We could not ask for better service.The "make-ready" group falls short of our expectations. They should pay closer attention to removing loose items used in shipping and fill all fluids. The coolant was very low and the washer fluid almost empty. The fuel tank was barely over one-quarter full. I did expect better. This excellent sales group may well be hampered in the future by a lax "make-ready" group for the salespeople must rely on them doing their job.Returned the car on July 7 to have the coolant filled to the "Full HOT' line & the shop refused.

Salesman was knowledgeable and very helpful with the search for our new vehicle. The entire dealership appeared to be pleasant, having a nice area for the kids to play while a transaction was taking place. A huge plus!!! The maintenace department was very clean anthe the mechanice were clean kept, and not filthy. Before we drove off the vehicle was detailed and the fuel was topped off! Michael also gave us directions on how to use the Microsoft SYNC option rather than just sending us on our way with the manuals. Thank you Northside Ford & Michael Farley.

I began working with Dennis McCrary about 3 months ago, when I thought I would be purchasing a new vehicle. There were never any "high pressure tactics" used by this dealership, just the assurance that when I was ready to buy, he would be there to help me get the vehicle I wanted. When I was ready to purchase, I went to the dealership, discussed with Dennis the vehicle I wanted to purchase and all of the available options. He was able to answer every single question I had about the Escape.They did not have exactly the vehicle which I wanted (color, equipment). John Novak told me that they would find exactly what I wanted. He checked with dealers all over the state and was able to find a vehicle with the exact equipment I was looking for, and brought it into the dealership. He didn't give up looking for my Escape!When my new vehicle was ready for pick-up, Dennis explained all of the equipment on the vehicle. He walked me through setting up my iPhone and iPod with the Sync system, and made sure I knew how to work the system, as well as the Sirius radio. I felt very comfortable leaving the dealership with my new vehicle, knowing that I had a good understanding of how it works.I have already recommended Northside Ford (and Dennis) to my friends. This pleasant new-car-buying experience will keep me as a loyal customer.

The service was friendly and fast. Curtis helped me find the exact car I was looking for with all the additions I wanted. I was very pleased. From the moment I got to the dealership and left, things were moving. I didn't spend any time just sitting around and waiting.

I was very hesitant to buy online considering my situation of being deployed overseas. Curtis made the process smoother than I thought was possible. His attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile really helped me secure the vehicle I wanted. Great job!

My car buying experience with Wayne Alderman was arguably the best car buying experience I've ever had. Wayne was very personable and very knowledgeable about the product. He answered all my questions in a straightforward manner. There was no pressure sales pitch or "slick talk" from Wayne; he laid out the product info, the price and applicable incentives, and allowed me to make an informed decision without interference. Once I made the decision to purchase, he still took time to teach me even more about my new F-150 Lariat, give me a tour of the service department, and pledged to be available after the purchase if I needed him. My thanks to Wayne and Northside Ford for a great car buying experience; I would absolutely recommend Wayne and Northside to anyone shopping for a new Ford.

I was very pleased with the service provided by Vivian and Northside. I sent an email request for a quote from the Ford website and Vivian was the first response I received. She was very helpful and provided me with all the information I needed. Then she scheduled a test drive for me and I bought the car the next day. While I was at the dealership everyone who passed said hello and asked if I had been helped. It was very nice to be acknowledged by all the employees even ones who were obviously on their way some where else.

I had recently run into a problem ordering a 2010 mustang from another dealer. Due to various problems, the car had been held at the Flat Rock, MI plant for 2 months bringing the wait time from order date to over 3 months. I had a set car in mind and found out that a very similar car was arriving at Northside Ford, but had not physically arrived yet. I spoke with Curtis who kept me informed and even made arrangments to have the car trucked over to the dealership immediately the same day it arrived at the rail yard. Curtis was aware I was coming in from out of town so he made sure to have the car prepped and paperwork streamlined for my visit to get me back on the road home. I had a great experience and appreciate Curtis going the extra mile to get the car ready ASAP. You just don't find service like that anymore. Highly recommend Curtis and Northside Ford.

The reason I had gone to the dealership was to window shop, but after a few minutes I realized Darrin was there to truly help me find a vehicle. He acted attentive and actually listened to what I was looking for and I had already selected a few cars. He gave me the opportunity to view one of my selections, then selected one for me. The vehicle he chose was exatly what I was looking for and fell in love with the SUV. I had never had that type of customer service and genuine assistance as I did that day.

Michael Farley was very helpful in letting us take our time considering our purchase and explained everything about our new car. He was very "low pressure" in his approach and made my wife and I feel very comfortable. The finance department person was also very friendly and made quick work of our financing. We feel like we were well taken care of by everyone at Northside.

This is my second attempt to write an evaluation. This web site has a screwy procedure of having an evaluation written then one must register. I did that and apparently in the process my evaluation was lost. So here goes again.I have been buying automobiles for many many years but the experience with Northside Ford has got to be the very best. My sales person is Wayne Alderman. He did a wonderful job of ensuring that the purchase process was easy and without the stress normally associated with an automobile purchase. He did everything he could to make me happy in the process. In fact, if it had not been for Wayne I am not sure I would have made the purchase. He kept with us until we found the car we wanted. Jerry Valdez, the finance person, made the paperwork process easy. He explained every form and why it was required. Because of him I made an extended warranty purchase.I rated Northside Ford "great" in every category except price. Perhaps that is not fair to Northside because Ford Motor Company sets the MSRP. But, I feel the price was inflated and there was not much room for substantial discounts.Overall I am happy with Northside and will take my new Fusion Hybrid to them for service in the future.

Michael was wonderful to work with. He showed professionalism the entire time he was around us. His customer service skills are second to none. He is defiantly a strong asset to Northstar. The overall experience was wonderful and easy for us. I have purchased both of my vehicles I currently have from Northstar and will purchase my future ones.

From start to end, great experience. Treated with respect and attention (not like at other dealers here, that all they want to do is sell you the car with out any consideration regarding your needs and don't want to take the time to help you out.)These guys here at Northside Ford took the time, answered my questions and helped me out. Thank you very much.L. Portela

Purchased a new Ford Fusion and a used Dodge Caravan. On delivery both cars were not acceptance. Both cars were dirty and not present to us. I returned both cars the next day after the sale. I presented the issues to the manager and both were cleaned on the spot, however after a more detailed inspection at my home all areas on the used car were not addressed. I felt it necessary to clean the used caravan myself, replaced all the tire valve caps. The salesman also did not take us on a tour of the service department. I only found the service department after walking through the dealership while waiting for the van maintenance issue to be completed. During finance we had our two children with us and through the final sales with the salesperson. Both individuals did not mention the children s play area. We could of taken our children there during finance and sales of the vehicles which would allow us to concentrate on the the sale and finance of these vehicles. They also failed to mention the enterprise rental car, cafe, and promotions for the wide screen TV and cancer for cure campaigns near the receptionist. Overall this dealership is average to all other dealerships in the San Antonio area. Defendantly a far cry from the Gunn Honda, our last purchase.

The sales agents were very helpful, knowledgable and friendly. Overall, I had a good experience. A rating of 4 is due to the financing part of my experience. I was under the impression from Ford's advertisement that the Ford Advantage Plan was available for new purchases at no additional cost. When it came to our financing, we put $10,000 down (cash) and financed approximately $7,000. We were not able to finance with Ford Credit at the same rate as other lenders. We were told that it would be a 7.9% interest rate if we were to finance with Ford Credit. The other lenders were between 4-5%. We opted to finance with one of the other lenders due to the additional cost in interest with Ford Credit. However, we were informed that we did not qualify for the Ford Advantage Plan unless we used Ford Credit. I feel that the Ford advertisements are misleading in this respect. I would have liked more information explaining the details of the program. I still question whether we should have qualified for the Ford Advantage Plan.

Michael Salazar was great. He was very professional, courteous. He found the exact car we wanted, the escape xlt in silver with black interior and sync, had the keys ready when we showed up. He was very easy to deal with as well. The management was very courteous as well.

Wayne was by far the easiest to deal with (after almost 60 days of shopping) and the most straightforward in discussions. Frankly, he was the reason I purchased from this dealership and it is he that I would recommend to others.The finance individual did not push extended warranties too hard, but was very evasive about the gap insurance he was attempting to hide in the paperwork detailing final price. I had to repeatedly ask why the bottom line total was differen than negotiated with Wayne and eventually got a straight answer that he had included gap insurance. The financ eperson's goal was to focus on monthly payment range written upon on the preliminary paperwork (which I had not signed or initialed) rather than the negotiated price.

Purchasing this car for my 16 yr old son was a major decision for my husband and I ---- obviously safety was a crucial decision point. Our salesman, Bo McDermott was amazing! He was patient, informative, and knowledgeable. We also met with Don Cote and Jim Thompson whom assisted us with gaining more knowledge regarding the vehicle. We all love the car. We know we made the right decision. This is the 3rd car/truck we've purchased through Northside and we know it won't be the last. Northside is lucky to have such great associates.

I planned to stop at two dealerships: Ford and Dodge. Northside was my first stop, so I was intent on reaching key decision points rapidly to make best use of time. Representatives at Northside gave me an immediate welcome that came across as sincere, not contrived. When shopping for a truck, I drive the agenda or leave the dealership if a salesman tries to take charge. The staff did a superb job of supporting my efforts to reach a decision, so I stayed and bought an F-150. Actions by the dealer that were decisive in my decision included:*Advertised a good price and backed it up with action---honesty counts big in my book.*Offered a fair trade in number for the market we are in---no effort to off set a discounted price with a poor trade in offer.*Able to shape the outline on a possible deal on the internet: though details were not fully defined, the dealership was bold enough to lay out potential ways the negotiations could go. This was a "go/no go" point in my exploration of Northside Ford. Sales staffs who use the internet to get people into the show rooms absolutely will never get people like me to come in. We use the internet for commerce, not a "come on".*Presented a facility that is clean, well maintained. Important to car guys like me. Filthy dealership suggests sloppy shop for follow on work to new vehicle.*Staff: this is a well managed business that looks out for its people. Any business that invests in people gets my attention as the good morale will spill over into matters that benefit me when I go down the road of vehicle ownership.Hope this helps, and is the type of input you are looking for, Jack

Mike was very professional and knew all his facts and figures. He helped with a trade-in, which I got a very good price for and stayed an hour after hours to help close a deal on a new 2009 F-150. I brought the vehicle back the next day for a wash and vac and Mike knocked it out in less than an hour given a twenty minute notice. I look forward to doing business again and have already referred a few friends from work.

Jaime was very helpful in every way. He knew his product and was able to answer all my questions about the truck I was purchasing.He was very friendly at all times . My wife and I felt it was a very satisfying experience which is not always the case with the stress involved in buying a new vehicle. We thought the trade of my truck and the price of the new truck was fair.

Wayne knew his product and his pricing. Although he told me the offered price would not be beaten in this area, he was not offended that I shopped. I shopped hard and found he was correct. He was polite, courtious and supportive, all the while of my search. Very businesslike and no high pressure BS. Just what I wanted. Best regards, Lee

I could not find the Expedition EL I wanted Northside Ford went out of their way to find the exact vehicle at the price I wanted. The salesperson took his time and went over all of the features (I was terrified of the Navigation System) and made sure I understood how to use it. When the vehicle came in with a vibration when I was on the highway and the service manager personally took care of everything in a quick and professional manner. I have previously driven luxury vehicles and the level of service I received ranks right up there with Lexus and Mercedes. Thank you Northside Ford.
