I understand going to any car dealership is stressful, especially as a woman. You always think you're going to be taken advantage of, feel stupid and feel like you're not going to be heard. While that may be the case with some salespeople, you will NOT feel that way with Antwan. He will put you at ease and he will make you feel like you're the only person in the room. With regards to finance, the person in charge 3 years ago was an ass. No way around it. Now they have Timmy, who was so incredible as well! Never made me feel stupid and really seemed to care. As long as those two are there, I will continue getting cars from MB Ford! read more

I brought my vehicle to Ford for an overheating issue and was told the water pump needed to be replaced. I paid for the repair and towing, but less than a week later my vehicle is still overheating and had to be towed again today. I chose a dealership expecting an accurate diagnosis and a proper repair, not to be back in the same situation days later. To make matters worse, I observed a mechanic vaping at the service counter while customers were present, which did not reflect the level of professionalism I expected. After spending significant money and still having an undrivable vehicle, I am extremely disappointed with this experience. read more

Service woman who I spoke to on the phone was very rude. Won't be bringing my Ford here.

I went in for an oil change and asked for my windshield wipers to be replaced. When I went to pay I didn't see any wipers so I asked. They said they had forgotten. Only then did I see the report about other items that needed attention according to their safety check. They said they could replace the wiper blades and deal with the isdues they had found but it would take anout 30 minutes to an hour longer. I agreed and ended up waiting around for over well two more hours with no updates. No apology when I finally could leave. $900.00 bill and they hadn't replaced the back blade and never noticed my back brake light is out, a friend noticed the day or two after my tuneup. I have been asking for an explanation and texting but nobody replies. read more

I had a coupon for oil change and called them up to ask if it was still valid since there was no expiration date on it. They told it was no longer valid and that they had a special for about $29.00. I bring my vehicle in. This is the first time I went there for service. I pull in and park there for a little bit since I didn't know where they want you to wait for a service member. I saw 2 guys so I tried to asked them. They looked at me and ignored my question. I was then told to pull up some more. A guy named Justin (he was one of the guys that ignored me earlier) came up to get my information. I told them I was here for an oil change and some minor repairs that may be covered under the manufacturer's warranty. He said I should still be under the manufactuer's warranty after scanning my vehicle. I asked to confirm the price of the oil changed and he confirms the price and then tells me that it would be over $50 after all the taxes and additional fees. I stated that they should have stated the full price before instead of lying about it to get people in. He didn't like that. I finished filling out the form and put in all the information including the current milage of the vehicle. He then ask me for the milage again, and I stated I put in already. He said he is not going to go by the sticker that shows when your next oil change should be. I told him that I didn't use the milage on the sticker, so I turn the key and showed him the milage, which was exactly as I entered. He then goes on about he doesn't need the attitude, and I told him that he is the one giving me attitude. He mutters something about I can just leave and walks off. I asked another person what his name was so I can file a complaint with corporate. Seems like classic bait and switch. Tell someone the one cost, and when you go in they give you a different cost. I will be emailing the corporate offices and Ford HQ. I may also file a complaint with the BBB. read more

Do NOT waste your money here. I came in February with steering issues and they charged me $700 for an alignment that did absolutely nothing. My car was still veering to the right and I was scared to drive it. Another shop quickly found the real problem which was a bad strut and control arm. This dealership either missed it or ignored it and still took my money. I feel completely taken advantage of. Would not return. read more

I want to be very clear: I completed a vehicle purchase here, but the experience -- especially with the finance department -- was unacceptable and deeply upsetting. From the beginning, there was nonstop pressure to add unnecessary dealer add-ons that I clearly and repeatedly declined. When I got to the finance office, the situation escalated. The finance manager raised his voice at me, talked over me, dismissed my concerns, and repeatedly told me I was making a "mistake" for not accepting add-ons. I asked him multiple times to stop. He did not. What made this experience even worse was the noticeable difference in how I was treated versus how he spoke when my husband was briefly on the phone. Once my husband was no longer involved, the tone shifted dramatically -- more aggressive, more condescending, and frankly intimidating. The environment was so toxic that the original salesperson I worked with actually resigned over how this entire situation was handled. That says a lot. This was not hard selling -- it crossed into bullying. No customer should have to endure that just to complete a purchase. If you shop here, be prepared to stand your ground very firmly, especially in the finance office. And dealership leadership should seriously evaluate how customers are treated when they say no. read more

Sold me a car and was upset about the deal and purposely messed up my out of state paperwork.

I brought my car to Matt Bowers ford. They replaced my engine before checking my battery. When I got my car back after two weeks of being in the shop it broke down at a dangerous intersection and I had to push it out of the street. My battery had died. They also promised me reimbursement for my rental vehicle and only paid me 30% of what my cost was. They were not honest with me on several occasions, did not respect my time or concerns, and put me in a scary and dangerous position. read more

Horrible dealership. Crooked salespeople, backed by even worse management. They did not stand behind their word. I was told i had protection against dings and scratches on my new car. When i came in to get my first ding repaired i was told the salesperson misspoke and i did not have protrction for dings or scratches, just bugs and sap. I negotiated price on what i was told. Both my daughter and i heard the same thing. They refused to do anything. Do not believe ANYTHING the sales and management at this horrible dealership say. Drive outside of nola to purchase. Matt bowers everything is CROOKED read more

DO NOT USE THEM FOR SERVICE. Brought my 2024 F150 (with 5k miles on it) in for a repair that had a TSB on it for a couple of years. Part was on backorder and was instructed to get a rental car and I would be reimbursed as long as it was a Ford vehicle. In total the rental cost was a little more than $1,200 due to the part being on backorder. I have not been reimbursed for that expense and have been continually told that the check was in the mail, have made several trips to the dealership to get this resolved. Each time I have been told they would have to work with Ford and the warranty administrator to get it resolved. It has now been 4 months, no communication, no reimbursement and quite frankly lousy leadership from the service manager. I have asked to speak to the GM several times, but he's always 'busy'. If service is this bad, I can't imagine what the experience is like buying a vehicle from them. read more

Got my oil changed and they didnt put my oil cap on nor the engine cover. Didnt notice after driving for a day. Oil everywhere. Thank God the engine didnt sieze up. They did come out to us and put oil in it . Then we brought it back to the dealership where they did a diagnostic cleanup and new oil change. Some of the staff were very dismissive of us when we stressed we wanted documentation that they left the cap off etc. One staff member while we were talking to him, mid sentence asked us tp move aside so he could help the customers. I told him dude I am a coustomer. All Ill say is chek your vehicle after any service from them. I know I will be doing so in the future. Disappointed read more

I purchased a 2024 F150 Hybrid truck with less than 26,000 miles. The purchase came with only one key fab for the truck. All fine, until I get home to find out that I could not access some of the options on the truck with the use of two key fabs. Options like the keyless door lock cannot be accessed to retrieve the factory code so that I can delete the old code and add a new code without the second key fab. So, I had to order the second key fab and get the fab programmed for cost of $450.00. When I spoke with those in charge, nothing was done. The response was "we at Matt Bowers purchased this pre-owned truck with one key fab and we then sell it with that one only key fab." Where is the "let us make it right" mentality. Lets see, I spent $40,000 and you could not spend a few hundred to make it right? Even better. I purchased the top of line Matt Bower Service package which includes replacing a key fab at no charge. But, because I did not contact the toll free number and order the new key fab through the service program - but, I instead contacted their parts department thinking I only owned the truck for one week and this would make a difference in the way Matt Bower would handle this need. There was nothing they could do to remedy this situation. Not even an offer to meet me half way in the $450.00 cost. I love my Ford F150, however question if Matt Bowers Ford is where I would purchase my next auto. read more

This was an extremely disrespectful experience all around. We looked at prices for trucks online on their site before going in. We also called and the woman we spoke with said you could qualify for 0% financing for 36 months. 30 minutes later we go to the dealership. Things started off fine. Then we're wandering the lot with the salesman who doesn't even know what trucks they have on the lot. They absolutely low balled our trade in and then quoted us a price that was higher than on the website. When we asked about the price difference they fed us lies. They also had no response about the woman who said 0% financing was an option. Because we are young they thought they could get us to make an absolutely horrendous deal - extremely disrespectful. 0/10 recommend this dealership. I would leave no stars if I could. read more

If you want to have your car serviced in a timely manner then go literally anywhere else. If you like service managers forgetting to do the things you ask them to look at and forgetting to order parts then you found the perfect place for you! Want them to break something on your car while it's in the shop and it takes them an extra week to fix it? Look no further you found the right place! Want a loner car while they work on yours for a month and a half? Well too bad. They don't do that. Want an alternator replacement to take 2+ weeks. Welcome home, friend! The level of incompetence here is astounding! Absolutely 0 f**cks given to their work or the customer. read more

Purchased a 2024 F150XLT, 4 x 4 also purchased a lifetime service package. I was told they only had 1 key, and I would have to purchase another one from a locksmith. I asked about the door code reset and they said I would have to bring it back into the service department for them to reset @ $150.00. If I had 2 keys I could reset myself. I don't think I should have to pay for them to reset the code as this is a feature part of the vehicle I paid for. My issue is not having to pay for another key. Lack of customer service at time of purchase is the issue. read more

It was really nostalgic, as visiting this dealership was like going back to the car-selling days of the 1980s. High-pressure tactics, don't let the customer leave the premises, endless long discussions between the salesperson and the sales manager that exclude the customer, bait-and-switch games, etc. What was novel was the dealership's attempt to manufacture a 5-star rating by having the salesperson tell me that if I didn't give her all "fives," it would negatively affect her compensation. I actually did that, only to be contacted multiple times to be advised I had to answer all of the survey questions with a "five," including questions unrelated to the salesperson, i.e., questions about the dealership. So, the salesperson's compensation is negatively affected unless I'm prepared to be dishonest on the post-sale survey. I told the salesperson, who was quite nice, that she should look for another employer. read more

I went to Matt Bowers Ford for the first time this week , 7/5/24. I purchased a truck out of state. It's a '21 F-150 XLT in black on black. I have an extended warranty that we aren't even into yet ,as I'm still covered with the factory warranty. I've never owned a vehicle with any warranty , so this was all new to me. My Service advisor , Kevin, was personable and took time to listen to my concerns. My truck isn't the newest , fanciest truck , but it's my truck. It's only got 25k miles and is scratch and dent free. I explained to Kevin that it was more important to me to get my truck back in the exact condition I gave it to him in ,than the repairs it was in there for. I'm SUPER IFFY about my truck. I had a wiring harness issue and needed the seal where my driveshaft meets the differential. It took about a week as parts were required to be ordered. I was greeted promptly at my appointment time in a service bay that is not only air conditioned, but the nicest, cleanest service area I've ever seen. I was, and am ,truly impressed. I expressed my concern to Kevin about dings and scratches. We did a thorough walkaround and I assured him that we'd be doing another one when I came to get it. I was given a shuttle ride home as soon as we were finished. Kevin stayed in contact with me in regards to the arrival of the needed part and also assured me that my truck was inside up on a rack, out of the sun and high enough to not be bumped by anything. I was notified that my truck would be ready and got a shuttle to come to my home to pick me up. It was the same driver that brought me home. He was a kind and very positive person. We did do a THOROUGH walkaround and as promised, she was just like I have it to him. I didn't even bother to look under my truck at the actual repairs until I got home. Everything was fine. As we all know, cars and trucks are now dominated by computers and electronics. I feel good about bringing my truck back here for service in the future. I worked for a first-class dealership in my younger years and Matt Bowers Ford reminds me a lot of that atmosphere we had. Kevin is a fine representative of this Service dept. and the dealership! Book an appt. with him for top-notch service and customer satisfaction. I don't see how my experience could have gone any better. I absolutely recommend this service dept. read more

Bottom Line Up Front: Matt Power Service Department charged me $243.58 to diagnose the problem, quoted me $2579.65 worth of repairs and it turned out all that was needed was a sensor replacement which I did my self in less than an hour and for less than $150. The TLDR explanation of facts none of this is opinion, it is merely what occurred: I brought the vehicle in on the 14th of August 2025 due to a bucking and surging which I thought was a problem with the transmission. I brought it to Matt Bower Ford from Houma because I have the lifetime powertrain warranty. On Monday the 18th I received a call from the Service Advisor at Matt Bower Ford stating that they diagnosed the vehicle and received a Diagnostic Test Code p2457 "Exhaust Gas Recirculation Cooling System Performance." and that they "found EGR cooler restriction, and erratic EGR flow due too carbon build up causing vehicle to misfire." This assessment was approved by the Service Advisor at 8/18/2025 at 12:55PM. He called me and told me that the necessary repairs included replacing the EGR Valve, the EGR Valve to intake tube, the DPFE Sensor, and the EGR Cooler. Essentially the entire EGR System (part of the emissions control system). They also said that I should have a complete Fuel System Service because the was carbon buildup in the system. The total repair quoted was $2579.65. Finding that to be quite a lot of money I asked the Service Advisor how they knew that the problem was all those components and he told me that they "found carbon buildup in the system" and that the checked different "test points" in the system to verify that. Continuing to question I asked if they could send me a photo of the carbon buildup and how they knew it was all the parts that were the problem and not a specific component. He said he would talk to the technician and call me back. While I was waiting I did some "research" (i.e. google searches) and found that there is a common deficiency among 2019 Ford Rangers in which the EGR (aka the DPFE) sensors are failing causing the exact symptoms I was having (https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/bucking-surging-epidemic.14581/). After about 5-10 minutes the Service advisor called back and said "He lied" and said the technician hadn't actually found any carbon buildup but based his assessment off the fault codes the diagnostics computer was giving him and they don't have the ability to isolate the fault to individual components until they remove the coolers and valve and sensor. I told him he didn't lie he made a mistake as I really believe the Service Advisor to be honest. But I also told him what my "research" found and that I did not want to spend $2500 if all that was needed was a sensor repair and I would take the vehicle home replace the sensor and if the problem still persisted I would bring the car to a local mechanic in Houma where I live since the EGR system is not covered under Matt Bower's Lifetime Power Train Warranty. I picked up the vehicle two days later (I live an hour away in Houma) and speaking to the gentlemen who checked me out he asked me why I wasn't doing the repairs and I told him I wanted to try and replace the sensor myself and not spend $2500. He said that is why he does all his repairs himself because it is so expensive nowadays and that the technicians get paid $70/hr. So purchased the required parts for ~$70, watched a 21:54 min video on Youtube, replaced the sensor myself, checked the system for carbon buildup which I found none and the vehicle is now fine and the check engine light is gone and my Ranger is no longer bucking and surging. All that took me about an 1.5 hours. Oh and they charged me $243.58 to "diagnose" the problem and three others that turned out to be not really problems. ----Below is opinion not facts, so take it for what it is worth--- MY RECOMMENDATION: If you can't fix it yourself, which most people can not, take your car someplace else with actual car mechanics and not service technicians unless it is under warranty. read more

I don't know where to begin. I selected this service department because it is down the street from my work place. A part replaced by a shade tree mechanic kept failing, so I decided to go for a Ford certified part. However, they had my car for six days (never called me) and I decided to walk over to the dealership to investigate the status. A young lady said that my service advisor was out on some sort of bereavement leave. Couldn't they have assigned another person to my case? Anyway, she presented me with a paper stating my car needed $8,000 in additional repairs. (a long list). In the end I agreed to only the original repair that I wanted. It was nice to have the video estimate (I paid for it, about $200). I really felt like they were padding the bill with various fluid flushes, sensor change outs and even an airbag replacement. Their estimate was practically higher than my vehicle's blue book value. Finally, my car was ready after fourteen days. On a late afternoon, I paid the bill, my car was ready but it took another 45 min just for them to give me my keys! Another yelp writer mentioned the same. Then, for the following week I was harassed by the service advisor begging me to give him Five Stars on a Ford survey! Never coming here again! read more

My car has been in their service dept for a month for a door weld recall and a service bulletin for the RDU. The communication has been very poor. The service advisor could never answer my questions on a timeline and tried to tell me I would have to pay a diagnostic fee for them to diagnose the RDU which I brought to them so I didn't need a diagnosis! He said he would check into it again and call me back and he hasn't of course. Twice when I called I was told the first available service person would call me back but it didn't happen. No sub cars available ever! read more

1st time dealing with the service dept. at Bowers Ford was excellent, knowledgeable young woman named Melanie. 2nd visit for a recall repair I dealt with Jimmy. He said he'd do the recall and repair some loose fabric on the door frame. Not only did he not repair the fabric, he also talked me into a rear brake repair. The price started at $350, then somehow got to $461. I looked at the disks he claimed to replace and they were not new disks at all. They charged me for work they didn't do! I complained to the service manager, Daryl, he offered to show me the originals? I had not paid for the originals, I thought I was paying for new ones! It was a BS play, I will never go back to Mat Bowers Ford, and you shouldn't either! read more

Searching for a car and stopped in to Matt Bowers to check out the Bronco. Although I didn't make a purchase, these folks were very helpful and were happy to allow me to take a test drive. The Broncos are hard to come by right now as they're so in demand. Right now you can only get a sport model which is a bit small for my crew. The larger version will be out in a few months, which unfortunately will be too late for me. They were respectful of my time, which is always appreciated and I think most important when I'm shopping for a vehicle. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE! The WORST service experience I have ever had. I purchased a vehicle with the promise from the sales woman and manager that they would do a needed repair. They said they needed to wait for a part & check for a potential recall so I could complete the purchase and bring it back when they were ready. I texted over a dozen times with the sales woman Quentis and she kept making excuses or saying she was checking on it. Every time I would finally get someone to speak with me, they'd say they were going to handle it and call me back and never would. I had one person that finally said he would help me and then apparently he was let go within the next two days. The struggle is ongoing. It has been months!! I can't believe how UNPROFESSIONAL the staff are at Matt Bowers Ford. Do NOT recommend. Untrustworthy!! read more

Called service several times about a recall and the first couple to get an oil change. "Drop it off and we'll get to it." All fine and good but I don't have alternative transportation so am unable to leave the vehicle. Would not make an appointment. Just lately noticed they have a two rating on Yelp. Guess they simply aren't in the business of pleasing customers... read more

I came to get a recall repair done. I was told it would be a 2 hr wait. After two hrs they told me they needed do something else to my car, which took another 2 hrs. Apparently there were systems issues that the employee working with me could not fix which prolonged my stay. ALSO, while I was using the bathroom, the female janitor waited inside the restroom while I was at the urinal. She mumbled sorry, and I just left the men's toilet. I was finally told my car was ready but it took another 45 min just for them to give me my keys! I literally watched my car sit there in the bay waiting for somebody, anybody to do their job. Never coming here again! read more

I have dealt with both the service department and sales departments. A few years ago, I came to test drive a few vehicles in my quest for a new ride. While I did not buy from here in the end, the sales staff was friendly enough. Now, I have a 2019 Ford Escape (purchased elsewhere) and needed an oil change, babies first change. I made an appointment online first thing in the morning on a Saturday on their website and headed on over. I was welcomed in, and the service began despite me being 30 minutes early. It was finished within an hour. Coffee, free wi-fi and restrooms were available. Employees are friendly, service is prompt. Everything was done quickly and professionally. read more

Matt Bowers Ford really knows how to take care of their customers. They always go the extra mile and that's what keeps me coming back time and time again. If you need service I highly recommend going to see Steve Biro in the service section. I exclusively work with him and he always takes care of my truck. He is very knowledgeable on all things Ford related and if he doesn't know an answer will find someone that does. Not only does he go above and beyond but he's also honest which is a rarity now a day in the world of auto service. In sales I recommend Ryan Bolton. He is very professional and always responds promptly. He takes the time to listen to what you want and need and give recommendations. He also continues to treat you with the same level of care after you've purchased your vehicle for anything you may need. read more
