I never write reviews but just wanted to give a huge shout out to Marin Ford, especially Bill and Sebastian. I highly recommend them and appreciate being straightforward and to the point. I've dealt with many car dealerships throughout the years and this was by far my best experience. If you are looking to buy, sell or lease any car (doesn't have to be a Ford), I would make this your first stop. read more

We went in there looking for a certified preowned vehicle, they tried to upsell us $4000 worth of parts that we didn't need on the vehicle. It's been over four months and I've still not received my registration, every time I call or go in there they tell me what I wanna hear then do nothing. Mind you we paid cash for our vehicle. I love my car, but I regret buying it from these guys! read more

Scheduled an appointment for transmission leak two weeks ahead. Drove from San Francisco for 1pm appointment and was told they wouldn't be able to do the work for another 4-5 hours even though I had an appointment for 1. When I told him I wasn't there for regular maintenance service, but a transmission leak (explained this when i originally made the appintment), the guy said it would then take 2 weeks without even knowing what the issue is! I asked what the point of having an appointment is and he said the appointment is to get on the waiting list for service. What? Either he realized they wouldn't be paid since its a warranty issue or they're just very badly managed. What a waste of time. Go elsewhere. read more

Bought my Mustang Mach-E GT PE from Marin County Ford last month. I absolutely LOVE the car! My purchasing experience from test-drive through pricing discussions, financing, and delivery were all top-notch, and I couldn't be happier! Special thanks to Tsoai and Darrell in the Sales and Finance departments for getting me in my dream car! Highly recommend this dealership to anyone in the market for a new Ford! read more

Marin County Ford - 2023 Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition in Space White - Auto Repair Near Me - Novato, California

Pricing for Marin County Ford on select cars is below market and aggressive!! When they wanna sell a car, it'll go quick. I saw the car online, called in, Oscar answered, and I was driving it off the lot within two days. Oscar was the man. No high pressure; he was a straight shooter, and his thorough explanation/understanding on the cars he sells got me excited about all the benefits the car offered. Definitely recommending my friends to him when they are in need. read more

Can't speak to the quality of the sales dept as I haven't bought here. However, the service department (at least the front desk staff (not the technicians) have wasted a rather stupendous amount of my time over the several trips I've made here. Just this morning, I came in for a previously set service appointment for a couple of recalls on my vehicle. When I actually spoke to the guy at the desk, he informed me that (a) they need to check which recalls are active on my vehicle right now. Turns out there are four, up from two when I made the appointment only a month ago... More importantly, though, the main recall I'm here to take care of requires a part (this has been known) which they don't have and need to order... supposedly the car needs to physically be here for them to order the part?! And yet it's not going to arrive for 5-10 days, and then once they have it they're gonna need the car for 2-3 days to do the service work. Oh and (b) the other recalls will take all day. And of course I would have had to have requested a loaner for all this, including the repair that takes days (not including the 5-10 days of waiting for the part). Has there ever been a service customer who has been totally cool with losing their their car for 2-12 days? So, I'm leaving, basically having accomplished a "Hi! I'm here for my appointment... which is now being punted out at least a week because nobody bothered to have what they needed to accomplish the thing I came here _explicitly_ to do. Ok bye." Can someone please explain WHY I needed to rearrange my entire morning so that you guys could order a part and send em on my way?!? What a ridiculous waste of my time. FWIW, this is not the first time Marin County Ford has made a service appointment vastly more convoluted for the end customer (me) than necessary. read more

Had a great experience buying a Mach-E here - Soey was amazing and so helpful. Thanks to him and also Choy for all their help and couldn't recommend them more! read more

Me and my husband had a great experience here. Our salesman, Glen, was very attentive to the whole family. We brought our two kids under 6 years old who actually had a great time while being here during the whole process. Playroom, snacks and movies for them. Glen also made sure that we were HAPPY with our vehicle as well as all negotiations. I plan on coming back when I need to buy another car. read more

I had my Ford Explorer 2020 towed there to replace a faulty engine starter, but the new unit was not fitted correctly: someone left out a screw that happened to fix the coolant liquid hose to the car body. The hose was left rubbing against the steering wheel permanently, so after a few months, guess what happened? The hose got a puncture and all coolant drained. 500$ to fix this oversight. read more

What an amazing experience. Tsoiah and his team (John and Derrel to name a few) were incredible! I came in looking for a F150 raptor and came out with a better car/deal! I highly recommend going to Novato ford and working with them. I have bought a lot of cars over the years and this has been by far the best experience. They didn't push or make you feel like they just wanted to make a sell. They will take care of you and really are just trying to get you the best deals. Thank you again guys! read more

Marin County Ford - Ford bronco raptor - Auto Repair Near Me - Novato, California

Less than two hours spent at this Ford dealership in Novato and I walked away with an awesome deal on the car of my dreams, and made some new friends. The staff was all wonderful and kind, Derrell was so fast, helpful, and knowledgeable with our financing. Above all, Tsoai was amazing. He answered every question, listened to every concern, knew details on the car inside and out, and took the time to get to know us and our needs. He treated us like family and we are so thankful for his help! Previously, as a woman at a car dealership I have always felt slightly uncomfortable- the salesmen tend to cater to my husband and primarily show him the respect. That was not the case here. Even returning for some finishing touches the next day, without my husband, I was treated like royalty and with respect and class. read more

The experience was streamline and the sales people were very friendly and actually knew cars. I did not find them overly pushy. I came in knowing what I wanted and walked out in a reasonable amount of time with a high quality vehicle. Tsoai was helpful in answering any questions I had about the vehicle I purchased. There are two things keeping this review from being 5 stars: 1. I was charged over $300 for the installation of wheel locks that I did not have the option to decline as the dealership took the liberty to pre-install them. 2. They misspelled my name on my vehicle registration forms. read more

I am a second time buyer from Marin Ford. They did right by me around some glitches from my past service experiences. John, Bill, and Oscar worked to make this an easy choice to buy again from them. read more

This team is fantastic! Oscar was my sales rep and he was incredible. Knowledgeable, quick, and so nice! Made the process a breeze. The general manager, John is awesome! So helpful, fair and makes you feel like family. Choy did our financing part and it was quick, easy and he was so nice! Overall this experience was a 10/10! read more

Terrific experience with Marin Ford. Angelo was the best car salesman I've ever bought from and really went the extra mile to make the deal work. I was able to buy the car and complete the whole process from my house and afterwards Angelo personally drove my new car straight to my driveway the same day. Highly recommend if you are looking for a Ford in the Bay Area. read more

I love my new Ford Explorer ST! Tsoai and Glenn helped me find and buy the perfect car for me. This is my 3rd Explorer, and my absolute favorite. Great customer service, thanks guys! read more

Glenn was helpful, patient, and funny! He made my car search a nice and stress-free process.

I highly recommend Marin County Ford if you are looking for exceptional service and a no hassle car purchasing experience. Gerardo's perspective on the various trim options for the Bronco was really helpful. It allowed us to confidently choose options that fit our budget and needs instead of just settling for what was immediately available on the lot. Gerardo located a Bronco that had everything we wanted and delivered it to our home on the Peninsula a few days later. Working with Derell to complete the paperwork and transaction was smooth and efficient. Every question we had for this Marin County Ford team was answered promptly and thoroughly. Couldn't be more pleased! read more

the experience with then was awesome. all the process the deal, the car, and the people who helped me makes the difference. thanks!

We had an excellent experience with Oscar. He was always very attentive and provided us with the best service. I will definitely recommend him to my friends. Thank you so much, Oscar. See you soon. read more

I have worked with them twice now in the last 3 years and it's been a nice experience to work with a car dealership that keeps their word. Thank you for the positive experience working with your staff. read more

Service experience here was terrible. Total lack of communications. Had an appointment for recall requiring software update. Online suggests it is under 20 min effort. 3 days later I decided to pick up car, finished or not. When I arrived discovered work was completed, they just hadn't notified me or returned my calls inquiring. Might be a good place to buy, but I'm driving more than 2x as far to avoid a repeat experience. read more

Derrell and Angelo were wonderful. Derrell took the time to go over all my financial options. The car price was fully explained. Angelo explained how all the car features worked. Angelo is very knowledgeable in the Ford Mustang Mach E. Thank you for helping me make best purchase for my car needs. read more

This review focuses on both Luis Carrillo in Service as well as Glenn Ross in Sales. I came in because I had some interest in a GT-350 and he actually had 2 in stock. both were very desirable (to me) and he was 1. Very patient with all my lil questions 2. Very knowledgeable in his products (which is actually rare in car sales) and finally 3. Not high pressure in his sales technique. He gave me the numbers and unfortunately the numbers didn't work for me and he understood and respected that. The next aspect of the Marin Co. Ford experience is Luis Carrillo in Service. I had to bring my car in for some warranty work and I had to wait about a week or so to get my car in (all of the service centers had the same amount of wait) and we found out that an obscure assembly was defective and it was going to take about a week to just get the part in. This is where Mr. Carrillo's experience shined. He was very clear with communication to me and reached out several times while my car was in for service giving me updates about when the part(s) came in and estimated time of completion. All in all both Service and sales aspects of Marin Co. Ford were really good and I would have no problem going back for either a new car or getting said car serviced. read more

Marin County Ford - Auto Repair Near Me - Novato, California

I paid a $500 deposit to this dealership for a new truck more than a month ago, but they never placed the order. Rather than simply admitting their error and apologizing when I went in to see what happened, the sales associate and the general manager tried to gaslight me with false documentation by insisting they had placed the order at the time I paid the deposit. The general manager was also very aggressive and rude. I later was able to confirm with Ford directly that the dealership had not placed the order until today. Although I am a prior customer, I am very disappointed with the unethical and unprofessional conduct from the general manager and will never do business with this dealership again. read more

Just bought a 2024 Maverick special thanks to Jeremy Johnson who helped me through the whole process. And get this - Derrell the manager watched my 2 dogs while I took a test drive! Talk about customer service. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating. It was the best truck buying experience I could imagine especially since I got everything I wanted in every aspect. If your looking to buy a vehicle check out Marin County Ford, you won't be disappointed read more

muy buena atención!!! es nuestro tercer carro aqui, todo muy fácil y rapido, gracias a Oscar Pérez por su paciencia y amabilidad para atendernos read more

I had the opportunity to trade in my Infiniti over here at Marin County Ford with the help of Angelo & the rest of the team here! Angelo made the trading process of my car very easy and smooth and as well as the rest of the members making me feel right at home. Not only was I able to pick up the car I've been wanting but I was also given a great price & even the man Choy tried to help me out and get me a better price to save me some $$$ ! Thank you guys again I'm super satisfied with my 2016 4Runner ! I will definitely send all my friends and family over to see you guys cause you made this process such a breeze! See you guys soon ! read more

They refused to do the service on my vehicle because they had no record of my warranty. The gentleman was very cold and was offering no additional help or options. I asked what could I do... call the warranty, the other dealership etc. he said "No without the record they cannot do the service. " I know that Warranties can get muddled so I was frustrated but left planning on trying out another dealership. I immediately called the Santa Rosa location and explained what had happened. They had all the records and said that any Ford dealership would be able to see the warranty and provide service. Very confused and disappointed at the level of service. read more

I have been a long-time customer since they sold Licnon and Mercurys . I have had cars serviced here and purchased parts when I worked on my own vehicles The sales , service, and parts department are very professional. I never had a problem with any of the departments. read more

Fantastic service when leasing a new truck. Especially Oscar Perez who was so knowledgeable on the various models and features, and Derrell Brushaber on the leasing and financing options. Super stellar team there; not pushy just honest and friendly. Look forward to getting more cars in the future from these guys! read more

Jeremy at Marin County Ford gave us the perfect car buying experience! After being to multiple dealerships and dealing with stereotypical car salesmen, we finally met Jeremy, who was flipped the entire car buying process from stressful & difficult to easy & fun. Jeremy's friendly and non-pressurized approach mixed with the best price for the new car, as well as our trade-in made the entire process a breeze. He walked us through all the steps and options(financial and non-financial). Provided all the details very patiently and asked us to take our time and think about it. He went above and beyond to make the car, with specific specs, available the very next day. He kept us updated on any and everything and even stayed beyond the closing time. Jeremy even let us have a loaner car(Bronco) which was such a pleasant surprise because the sale was not finalized yet and they didn't want us driving the trade-in. He could've asked us to call an Uber instead of giving us a loaner!!! Also, shout out to Choy who made the financing part of the process so much easy, he walked us through each document very patiently, answered all our questions and concerns with a smile on his face. He even gave us a really good deal on the exterior packages(paint, tires & rims). The entire team at Marin County Ford gave us such a wonderful car buying experience that I can't thank them enough! read more

The salesperson I worked, Sam Ghazouni, was candid, patient and informative, not pushy. I visited the dealership 3 times over the course of a week, didn't feel pressured by anyone, got my questions answered and leased a new car on my third visit. Sam was very helpful when the car was delivered, walked me through the electronics of the vehicle, and scheduled a followup appointment to answer any additional questions. read more

We've leased three cars from Marin County Ford and highly recommend them. This past weekend, Oscar helped us out and he was great. He stayed late, paid attention to detail and listened to our needs (no hard sell), and he made us a deal that worked for us. We really appreciated his attitude and partnership - and he's a really nice guy too. Go see Oscar in Novato!! read more

Marin County Ford Service Department has been total hell to work with. They currently have had my truck for 22 days. They do not answer their calls, they do not call back when you leave a message. The rare times we have been able to make contact, they say they are waiting for parts and will call us back and then never do. They denied the main problem we have had with the truck had ever been addressed there before, although they had fixed it in April of 2018, less than a year of buying it new. Their fix allowed Ford to skirt the lemon law by 1 day. And of course they have no loaner cars and we have had to borrow a car. We got ahold of the service department today, asked for Marco and was told he was on the shop floor. We left a message a little after noon, and now that it is after 3pm he still has not returned our call. Our story: Ford sold us a lemon, it has had the same repeated issue of the computer going nuts, showing all sorts of codes, loss of gauges, WHILE DRIVING. It seemed to fix itself the first time it happened, I mentioned it to Marin County Ford Service Department when I took it in for routine service, they could not replicate the issue. Then on a rode trip to Eastern Oregon, it did the same thing again while attempting to start, but it would not start. We had it towed to the Madras Oregon Ford Dealership and they had it for 29 days unable to fix the issue until it miraculously restarted. Ford corporate shipped it home. Upon arrival it would not start again. Having scoured Ford Repair bulletin boards, I diagnosed the issue as being just a simple loose diode under the E-brake. I popped the E-brake a few times and the truck started. Took it to Novato Ford and they did the 5 minute fix of reconnecting the diode, taping it together and taping it down. The fix worked for a few years, until late 2021. Scary sometimes as it occurs while driving and has done so at highway speed, losing all gauges! But it was intermittent going months in between. I mentioned the issue every time we went in for service, but they were unable to replicate it. Thus here we are, with a recall fix, crazy codes and more and even with being shown video, Marco said they have never addressed the computer issue. They suck. Wish we pushed harder and forced Ford corporate to lemon law it. Photos show my truck today, 14 December 2022, after 22 days at the shop, just sitting in the chain linked lot for vehicles already fixed or waiting to be fixed. read more

This was hands down the BEST car buying experience of my lifetime. Jeremy, John, and Choy went out of their way to take phenomenal care of us throughout the entire purchasing process. The team at Marin Ford made sure we understood all of the features of the car we were purchasing to make sure it was the right fit for us. After selecting the right vehicle, the team efficiently put together a very fair deal on the car. As cheesy as it sounds, they really treated us like family, and helped us celebrate this exciting milestone. We even got to ring the bell, and we're surrounded by the office applauding! I must take the time to specifically highlight the supreme customer service that was Jeremy. Jeremy was highly communicative, went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed, and went so far as to help me remove my custom license plate from my trade in car, and personally installed it on my new car! I'd been to other dealerships in the area, and they just didn't seem to care as much about my experience. The team never pressured us, they helped us make the right decision for us. Not only did Marin Ford win our business this time around , but we'll definitely be back should we find ourselves in the market again. Thanks Marin Ford Team - you guys are the best! read more

So the AC goes from cold to warm in summer and heater blows hot to cold air in the winter. A clinking noise when going in reverse. Easy stuff. 3rd Ford I owned at the same dealer, love the Hybrid Titanium Fusion and the focus. Both cars have air conditioning problems. Service dept acts like I'm the first one to complain. Scratch their heads as if it's a mystery. Left the car for 5 days and nothing but any empty pocket because you pay even if they don't fix. Came back 5 weeks later and asked if they could please give me 10 min for a mechanic to take a drive around the block. NO was there answer but come back in 6 hours. That's after I left work and drove 40 min to shop. DONT BUY A FORD from this so called PREMIER dealership!! read more

We purchased a vehicle from Marin County Ford and we have no complaints whatsoever. Bill, Sales manager, was our first connection and he steered us to Jeremy Johnson in sales. Jeremy was polite, not pushy and was interested in us being happy and that all our questions and concerns were answered, which they were. Even after leaving the dealer, Jeremy is still keeping in touch with us making sure all is well with our vehicle. Choy, in finance, was just as helpful and also did not pressure us into purchasing anything we did not want. Thank you Marin County Ford. read more

I came in with the intention of buying a new F-350. Tsoai was one of the most knowledgable sales people I have ever dealt with at dealership. The guy just gets it. From the moment I walked in, he understood my needs. He did not try to over sell me or push undesired products my way. My situation was a little more complex as I am moving and will be shipping the car. Tsoai immediately got on the phone, rang shipping companies, got estimates, and structured all the logistics (storage, transport, shipping) on my behalf. The process and transaction went extremely smooth. I have purchased over 5 new cars from various dealers. This was by FAR the smoothest and quickest transaction I have ever experienced. I was out of the dealer in under two hours with a financed truck including (shipping logistics, a test drive, a full walk through of the truck/electronics, warranty) all due to Tsoai's efforts. I will gladly purchase another Ford from here again and will be keeping Tsoai's contact information handy. read more

I want to thank Glen and Darrell at Marin County Ford for their honest and helpful service today. I was buying out my lease and then I was going to turn around and resell. I was seriously upside down. I was going to owe close to 10,000.00 to buy out my lease. Darrell was getting ready to write up the agreement and came back and talked to me about a better way and I would only owe 3,300.00. I had never thought of the deal he made. I felt like they both had my best interests at heart and that it was more important to treat me right than it was to just write a deal. I would recommend Glenn if you want to buy a car. Very honest, thoughtful, community oriented man. Darrell was a very honest and caring person as well. I will definitely be back when the time comes for a new Ford. read more
