Let me start off by saying I never intended on purchasing a new car. I brought in my 2016 Kia Soul for service. 10 years old with 190,000 miles. The blessing was I drove off the lot with a 2024 Mazda CX-30. My sales representative John Tomahn was knowledgeable, professional, and very down to earth. He and the team, Eddie Cervantes and Garnett Thompson went above and beyond to keep my niece and I comfortable during the process. Thank y'all so much for lunch. The customer service was phenomenal. If you're in the market to buy a new or used car, go see this team. Thank you John, Eddie and Garnett. I love my new reliable car! read more

I was in the market for a truck, full size , american, V8 , 4x4 and the new Ford f150 Lobo was really calling me. I went to another ford dealership to check the vehicle, test drove it but a day later they called and told me the color i wanted sold. Glad it did because I went to hilltop ford. Honestly got a way better deal there. I inquired online and Shawn Patton called me that same day. Made a appointment, got what i was looking. Shawn was great, very professional and likeable. I didn't feel any kind of pressure at all with her. I highly recommend her. I freakin dig my new truck man! read more

Service Advisor: Jonathon Fong Took my car in for a problem and was greeted by Jonathan. Once the issue was identified, he helped work through understanding it, keeping me updated throughout the process, and keeping me updating along the way. Jonathan was responsive and informative while my car was with Hilltop Ford, and service like this is why I will bring my car back. read more

This is now our second purchase at Hilltop Ford. This time we got to work with John Locke & Shawn Patton. Two very different personalities, John is no pressure, pretty funny & kinda laid back. Shawn is full of energy, very friendly, patient and accommodating. They both know the inventory really well & are well versed in the vehicles. We never felt high pressure, which is a huge turn-off, in the car buying process. We came back twice because we were not sure what we wanted. The process was great. Eddie (Manager?) was also very friendly. We went back and forth a little on pricing and ultimately found a number that worked for all of us. John & Shawn are huge assets to that dealership. Thank you both, you both deserve a raise! You made a stressful event fun. read more

Don was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and he really went the extra mile to make sure I had a wonderful experience. He's super smart and kind, and it was a real pleasure to work with him. Thank you so much for your phenomenal customer service! read more

Had my first routine servicing today at Hilltop Ford. When scheduling the appointment, their staff was informative, professional, and cheerful, letting me know that they have a pick up/drop off option, which sounded great. Servicing was faster than expected and my car was delivered home promptly. As the car was being dropped I noted that there was a lot of pressure in one tire and let the service person dropping the car know. We looked at the tire together and confirmed a screw in the tire. My heart definitely sank at this point, thinking that this was not the easy experience I had hoped for, and I began to expect the worst: that I might be stranded without a car or that they would make me cover or coordinate a new tire. I again spoke with the service department and send huge kudos to Aliyah for her cheerful, professional manner over the phone and to Eric, who came out, looked at the tire with me, recommended a replacement, answered all my questions and removed and replaced the tire super efficiently (even though he had to drive back and forth to the dealership). There was no fuss about the process, they were accommodating, answered all my questions, and took care of things promptly. While it would have been nice for everyone if this random event hadn't happened, I couldn't have asked for more helpful service. (Not to mention that they washed and vacuumed my car with the basic servicing.) I will be a return customer! read more

Top shelf service. Great experience for me and my wife. The In and Out of dealerships. They respected my time. Took my 2018 Kia Stinger to Hilltop for service recall. Met Jerrid and asked him to show me around what Ford had to offer. Test drove the Bronco Sasquatch. Made friends with Jerrid. Saw the Raptor for the first time and drove home Saturday with the Raptor. No pressure sales. Jerrid was the commensurate gentleman who was "Johnny-on-the-spot" with getting me all the answers to my litany of questions. Have to recognize Movers and Shakers, John in Service, Ricky, Garnet, William, and Agha Sahib e B. read more

Changing my rating. Took the truck in for a vibration issue at 40 mph. The tech diagnosed excessive movement in the front axles. They replaced both front axles, seals, and hardware under warranty with zero hassle. The vibration is completely gone, and the truck drives smooth again. Impressed with how they handled the warranty claim at 29k miles. read more

After driving a Tesla Model 3 Performance for six years, I decided to try something different and the Mustang Mach-e kept catching my eye on the street. I contacted Hilltop Ford in Richmond and was put in touch with Jerrid Frazier. We started chatting about the 2025 Premium trim model. I found Jerrid to be laidback, but professional and responsive to my questions. I decided to go in for a test drive and ended up driving home a gorgeous Glacier Gray Mach-e that day. For me (and probably many people) contacting an auto dealership can be a daunting task, but I have to say this was a very good experience and I would recommend Jerrid and Hilltop Ford to anyone. It's been a few weeks now and I'm loving this fantastic car. It's fun to drive, has plenty of zip and even though I loved the Model 3, I hardly think about it now. read more

The service dept here is my new happy place. I've been bringing work truck here for maintenance and repairs. The staff overall is excellent.

Thank goodness for good shops that shine and make dealerships look good! read more

I contacted Hilltop Ford with a radical, almost rebellious idea: I wanted to buy a 2026 Ford F-150, with cash, today, without paying sticker, and without the mystery add-ons that magically appear on the invoice. I was immediately informed that the truck was "selling for over sticker." Naturally. Because nothing says buyer's market like the end of the year. When I suggested negotiating over the phone so I could just show up, hand over the money, and leave with a truck, I was hit with the dealership's sacred mantra: "Presence is power." Translation: Please drive here so we can ignore everything you just said in person. Despite clearly stating--repeatedly--that I was paying cash, the salesman remained deeply committed to discussing monthly payments, as if hoping I'd suddenly forget how money works. Eventually, I was told the sales manager would call me. He did. And wouldn't you know it--he approved exactly the deal I wanted. So I drove in. That's when reality shifted. I was informed that: The person I spoke with was not actually the sales manager, and The deal I was quoted was no longer valid. When I pointed out that someone had been impersonating a sales manager--and produced a recording--the actual sales manager apologized... then calmly explained that there was no way they would sell the truck for anything under sticker. Which is fascinating, because I left and bought the same truck at another East Bay Ford dealership for less than even Hilltop's imaginary sales manager promised. So yes--presence is power. Just not when honesty leaves the building. Final verdict: If you enjoy vanishing deals, phantom authority figures, and being told prices are "impossible" right before you go buy them somewhere else--this is your dealership. Mic drop: Hilltop Ford didn't lose a sale because of price--they lost it because the truth had a lower MSRP somewhere else. read more

I have never been treated better at a dealership than I have at Hilltop Ford. John, Don, Lynette, Sonia, Abby, B, and the finance guy (sorry I don't remember your name but you're great) were, and continue to be, spectacular. Everyone that I worked with was kind and really cared about me getting into the vehicle I wanted and they were patient when I wanted to test out different vehicles. They gave me room to breathe and never tried to rush me or get me into something I didn't want. I want to say that I also never got ANY creepy sales person vibes from anyone there. Not one time did I feel anyone being pushy. Not to mention I got a pretty screaming deal on a brand new Mach-E! Every person that I worked with on getting my vehicle was kind and even followed up via a call or text to make sure I had everything I needed and to see if I had any questions about my new car. I really do believe that they go way beyond the extra mile to take care of their customers and I will continue to send people their way. They are fair, patient, and work to get the best deal and I feel like that is exactly what I got. If this team is still around when it comes time for my kids' cars, this is exactly where I will go. I could go on and on because there really is more greatness to say about Hilltop Ford. Just do yourself a favor and go there for your next vehicle. John and his team will take care of you. Enjoy your new ride!! read more

Pulling in at Hilltop Ford we were promptly greeted by Mariel Cordon Garcia and one of her Sales Managers. I had inquired the previous day about the Ford Lightening EV truck for my husband, they promptly provided me with answers to my questions on the product availability as well as the lease payment and terms I requested. Now it was time to drive, being greeted by these two warm and gracious individuals made us feel special and expected. While parking...a beautiful black Ford Bronco caught both of our attention. "Pssssttt.... Honey" I hear my husband whisper....... "Should we ask her if we can drive this one too?" Sure...I responded nervously.... I had crunched some preliminary numbers on the Bronco in the past and I was weary that this beautiful beast would push us over our budget for this purchase. Mariel pulled up the Ford Lightening Lariat that we had been discussing. We walked around the truck admiring its design. The demo impressed us, this truck is quick and responsive, the interior was thoughtfully assembled with the 'working person' in mind. It even included a work station with stowable gear shift. Cool stuff really. The drive was enjoyable, we headed back to the dealership. As we pulled back into Hilltop Ford our eyes were once again drawn to the black Ford Bronco. Mariel had pulled the Bronco to the front driveway, its beefy...do anything...concur anything...go over it ...go through it attitude spoke to us. We excitedly parked the Lightening and skipped over the Bronco; admiring its aggressive stance and utilitarian functionality. We love to go camping, snowboarding, and to the beach. We hopped inside and took the Bronco for a spin, the Wildtrack edition comes with a well powered 2.7L EcoBoost engine, 4x4, Bang and Olufsen sound system and so much more. We went with the Bronco...the car that caught our attention when we first pulled in, not the car we thought we were going to pick up. It just felt like it was meant to be. "Happy Hubby makes for a Happy Home!" I am also very happy. Mariel, Leon, & Garnett were professional & friendly they respected our time and provided us with everything we needed to make an educated and informed decision within the budget I had established for this purchase. Thank you Leon, Mariel, Garnett and the entire team and Hilltop Ford. read more

Shopping for car can be so stressful! That's why it was such a relief when I connect with John Locke at Hilltop about a used Rav4! John keep me posted about every new step, under promised, over delivered and truly went above and beyond. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is car shopping! Thanks for making the car buying process so painless, John. Really appreciate it. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would for the Ford service department. I gave a negative review a year ago and spoke to the service manager. He asked if in the future to give them another chance to earn business. So I decided to try again. What a waste of time. I advised the team, my tire overnight went flat and I believe there could be something wrong with the tire like a nail or something. Two hours later, "Oh, we can't find anything wrong." Then the tire went flat on me the next day. So I take it to another Dealer in Concord by my job. Guess what, they find the problem and fix it for 15 dollars cheaper than I was quoted in Richmond? SMH. Do the people that work at this location know what they are doing? Your technicians can't even diagnose a nail in a tire. Was it even looked at properly? I rather go 20 miles out of my way than to ever take it back to this service center. Shame ... Shame read more

I just want everyone to notice that I did not receive a response to my response to Ford's comment.. The reason is because there is no way to explain it. How can you mandate people bring their car to you in order to get reimbursed, but you don't have time to see them? What a scam. If you like having a car that needs major engine work done at 20,000 and 60,000 miles, get a Bronco sport. If you like a company that doesn't care at all about their customers, or the danger their products put their customers in, get a Ford. Honestly, I don't know how they sleep at night read more

I pulled up in time for my maintenance service appointment and was immediately greeted and brought to a desk by Taylor. Taylor was my service person- she was kind, efficient and transparent. She offered to fix a recall on my escape that I'd forgotten about, helped me identify the services needed, provided a transparent quote, and arranged for my shuttle drive home. Of course free car wash and vacuum. I was pleasantly surprised that they do valet car drop offs too, so great! Everything was seamless and easy. I'll definitely be back! read more

I cannot stand the service department. Here's why: - had an appointment for a recall on a Tuesday - Bro rep patted himself on the back by checking first if they had the part before wasting my time by taking the shuttle home just to come back. Like they did not already waste my time. - he said he's going to order the part and call me. Set a tentative schedule for the end of the week. - never got a call back. So I called a week+ later and there was no order for the part. - lady rep ordered it and got another schedule on a Tuesday. - part is in and went back. Bro rep #2 told me that records show that the recall was done and all other maintenance was done as well. Cringe. He sorted it out and asked if I needed a ride home. - it took almost 3 hours to get back home. 2hrs+ of waiting. 15m drive. - don't drink the coffee. It tastes burnt. Avoid if you can. read more

I had the wonderful experience of working with Shawn Patton today with hilltop ford/ kia. She was so amazing and helpful she went over so many cars and options with us until we found the perfect fit . Her customer service is incredible and she definitely goes above and beyond for her customers and was with us the whole way from start to finish. I cant say enough good things about this dealership and especially Shawn it was a smooth process. I highly recommend requesting her if you are looking for anything new or used. read more

This place continues to amaze me with the level of sleaze and stupidity the sales people and management throw around. Was looking at one of the 34,000 2025 Bronco's Ford has left over from last year. Skinny little sales guy says- We got employee pricing! I say OK, then proceeds to tell me Ford sent them a memo that they can't sell for any less. Chief- the Factory is eating the cost, you better chip in your dime in ADDITION! if you want my business. what an idiot. read more

I had to take my 23 Mach-E in for some recall fixes. At the same time I asked for a quote to fix a dent in my hood (my fault ). Kevin Bracy was my service advisor - he was friendly, helpful and recommended I take my car over to Accurate Auto Body (see *****review). The recall fix was quick, they washed and cleaned my car inside and out and that kind of service makes me want to comeback whenever I need to. Thank you Kevin! read more

Took my car in for a simple oil change and it ended up taking over 6 hours. That alone is unacceptable for such a basic service. To make it worse, I later received an email saying my car had been washed and the tire pressure was set. Neither of those things were actually done. If it takes 6 hours just to change the oil, and the other services they claim to do aren't even done, how can I trust the rest of their work? Completely disappointing experience. read more

Update 1/14/2025: My review isn't about the customer service; the advisors are great, and the ride-alongs were pleasant. However, the service department's negligence and lack of attention to detail have been a huge problem. I own a '16 Mustang Ecoboost with an extended warranty, bought new from Ford. I trusted Ford to understand their vehicles, but I was mistaken. My car was brought in at 110k miles for a recall on the backup camera, and the service department supposedly performed a multipoint inspection. According to their paperwork, they checked the transmission fluid and the mounts. But when I got my car back, it had a major transmission issue--I couldn't go over 10mph without it struggling to shift gears. I took it to an independent shop, and they found that the transmission fluid was black and low, indicating poor service. The transmission would need to be replaced. Given that the dealership had been handling all my service and repairs, including regular maintenance, I don't understand how they missed this glaring issue. This wasn't the first time I experienced problems. In 2022, I brought the car in for rough idling and stalling, and although they replaced the purge valve, the issues persisted. I've attempted to contact the dealership's manager, but after a week with no response, I called Ford corporate. It's now been another week with no follow-up. I'm deeply frustrated with both Ford's service department and their lack of response. I now have an expensive, non-operational car, and I feel deceived by their supposed expertise. Avoid Ford--it's been a costly mistake for me. read more

I brought my 2023 Kia Sportage in for repairs after I couldn't avoid hitting a cone in the freeway. I was directed to Taylor as a service representative for the repairs. I was told that my repairs would be done in about a week and half. After two weeks I hadn't heard anything from Taylor and my car was still not repaired. I had been told I would receive an update call from her but never received it. I went to the dealership and talk to Michael Curtis and was told "she was here on Saturday" like I am supposed to hunt her down to get info on my car. I finally got a hold of Taylor after many attempts. My insurance adjuster couldn't not get in touch with after emails and calls to settle the claim. I was lied to again about the delivery of my vehicle. I have asked to speak with her manager several times and have yet to receive a call!! I have purchased 2 vehicles from this dealership and I deserve better service than what I got. I had to use a rental car for a week and half more than expected!! I will never buy a car from this dealership again if this type of treatment continues!! read more

hawn Patton was AMAZING! She is wonderful with communication, very friendly and took her time explaining everything, even making sure I was comfortable with my purchase (which I totally am!). Besides Shawn, EVERYONE was open, friendly, helpful...and they all seemed to enjoy what they do for a living, which really feels good, knowing that they are customer forward! I highly recommend this establishment and walked away feeling really good about what I own and the amount of time I spent there. Totally worth it! read more

I want to thank Brandon in the Service Department for helping me in a desperate situation where I was stranded when my Mach E unpaired with my phone and wouldn't start. The plan was for me to leave the car at Hilltop, take a train to where I live (Sacramento), and return on the train the next morning with the key. I arrived with the tow truck just as they were closing and before I left, Brandon wanted to see if he could come up with a solution so I could drive home. He figured out a solution and I was able to drive home and everything with my car is now perfect. What is not included in that story as how kind and calm Brandon was through all of it and even sent me home with a bottle of water and some Liquid IV since I was coming off two days of flights. It is this type of kindness to strangers that creates loyalty and makes a business great. read more
