Good Dealer in Northern California?

[ftrv8]

Starting this a bit early....

Anyone have any recommendations with decent dealers to deal with in NorCal?

Trying to field early recommendations, so that when the order banks open for the MY18, I can reach out accordingly.

Thanks in advance.

Dan Duran at Frontier Ford. He's the fleet sales manager and is typically not on the floor. He's a no pressure kind of guy.

STAY AWAY from Future Ford at the Roseville Automall! Long story short - they sold me a '16 Ecoboost Mustang as "new" and then a month and a half (and 4500 miles) later, called me up asking me to come in and sign 'updated' paperwork - turns out they sold me a PRE OWNED car, and the DMV caught them on it. I got out of the contract and turned the car back in, and got all my money back, but it was a fight. I ended up going through Fairfield Ford, and had a GREAT experience - ask for Alex Fisher if you go there, and tell him Mark Brooks referred you. If it says anything, he's a Mustang guy too, and we actually became friends after I bought a car from him. Great experience.

Will do Mark. Thank you.

I actually want to hop in here and ask who people go to for service up here in Sacramento? I tried downtown Ford...but was not happy with them...in short I told them EXACTLY what was wrong (rear view camera and electrical short) and they only bothered to fix one of the problems (the rear view camera) and said the electrical short was something not to worry about (constantly charging at 14.4 volts is within "normal limits).

I took my Focus ST to downtown a bunch because I live a few blocks away and they usually did a decent job. But I am going to attempt my first oil change myself here with the GT.

I got my GT over at Dixon Ford, the deal was really good there because they are such a small town and need good prices to be able to get cars off their lot. I'll probably drive over to them for my 10,000 mile service

I had an excellent experience at Frontier Ford in San Jose. Great people to deal with.

Wow, good on you for getting your money back and getting out of it. Out of curiosity how many miles were on it when you got the "new" car?

Marin County Ford Novato. Best dealer I have ever delt with.

We purchased our MY16 from Dixon as well: Ron Dupratt.

Oddly enough I got mine from Future Ford in Concord which sourced it off the truck from the Roseville store (both are Future).
I bought it with 0 miles on it and they had one of the few GT PP's with the options I wanted.

I went to a few dealers in the Bay Area and they were all a joke. Many didn't know what a PP was and if they did they didn't want
to give me the value of my trade and/or give the the X-plan. I got both a FF in Concord.

[MENTION=19938]jperls[/MENTION], Talk to Ryan Giffin @ Downtown Ford, he is a Service Advisor there. He was also one of the other V6 Mustangs at the Cruise.

[MENTION=17537]ftrv8[/MENTION], stay tuned for some cool bay area events. My bud and I have a few planned. Here was one from the other weekend:

Geweke Ford, Yuba City

I got to Frontier Ford for any warranty work that needs to be done. I bought my car from Serramonte Ford by SF and had an excellent experience there.
