    TPMS FAILED

    I bought a used Ram 1500 from North County Ford, and my post-sale experience was disappointing. Within a few days several issues showed up: the TPMS stopped working next day, the ParkSense system was failing intermittently, and the differential was leaking oil, even though the truck was supposedly inspected and "in great condition." I also reported a water leak coming from the roof antenna or possibly the rear window. The service dept said they needed approval to fix it, but I never heard back. In the end I had to fix the ParkSense and the differential leak myself. The water leak is still pending. I understand it's a used truck, but that doesn't justify selling it with problems and going silent after the sale. If you're thinking about buying here, think twice. I'm still hoping North County Ford will step up and help resolve the remaining water leak issue.

    Thumbs down for trash service!

    Showed up to bring our lease back early and run the numbers. We showed up right at 10am and the lady that walked out was unwilling to help us unless we were going to make another ford purchase with the lease return. Hilarious and a complete kook, only willing to do something if we were purchasing a new ford. "Oh no you'll need to make an appointment for that if you aren't making another purchase" For the record Encinitas ford just took 30 mins to give us numbers and told us they would buy our car back and we could walk away, no appointment needed! Avoid North County Ford at all costs!

    Radiator fluid
    Javier G.

    Brought my car into the service department for an oil change,tire rotation, and a 99 point inspection on April 16, 2026 after my service was done drove home. when I got home I noticed radiator fluid coming from my car open up the hood just to realize all the radiator fluid had leaked out through a leaking hose. Contacted Ford on april 20th 2026. Make them aware of the situation I found it very suspicious that my vehicle has a radiator leak after an inspection and oil change the tire rotation. Janet, who was helping me advise me that they would tow the car to their location to see what they could do I explained to Janet if there was nothing that could be done then I would like my car towed back. after having my vehicle all day. I called about six times left a voicemail and I got no calls return. I had to go down at 5:30 PM on April 20,2026 to see what was going on with my vehicle just to be told that they're not sure if they're going to cover anything and it's due to the fact that they don't feel like they're liable for this even though they didn't catch this during the inspection. They also made me aware that they didn't know how much the part was gonna cost even though their parts department is right next-door to their service department, which I went over And I found the price for the part, bought the part for them went to go give it to them. I do not recommend this service department they don't catch issues and they don't communicate .if you want a bad experience and poor service and lied about what they do to your car and service then this is the place to go.

    My daughter now has a Heritage Edition Bronco Sport.

    My daughter was hit and totaled her Bronco Sport. I needed a replacement and went 5 local dealers and dealt with more online. When I went to North County Ford, Oscar Gomez was my salesman and he was fantastic. He worked hard to locate the exact car I was looking for and the negotiation was simple. Great car, great time. Then you gear up for finance, usually more smoke and mirrors but Mike Cottrell made the paperwork so simple. Great guy, great process. Then Oscar walked me through all the features, connected my iPhone to the car and made sure I was handled. Thank you North County Ford!

    My brand new f250 super duty!

I first noticed them when my sister and I were passing by and she said you should check those guys out for brakes. so then I checked the reviews on Yelp and Google. I used the quote button on Yelp app. They responded accurately and quickly with correct information. Actually the price was lower than the quote! Came in for a free brake inspection at 1:00 pm and they had completed the service by 4:30! In addition to great service and customer service they gave me advice on how to possibly save money on a factory light that comes on randomly. Oh and my steering wheel didn't feel like grease after the service. It's the little things that makes them great! They make you feel like your part of the family and they have your best interest in mind! Thanks Jose and Ish

    The Oceanside Car Clinic was the (second) auto. repair shop I called after Niko's Shop at S & R…read moreService Center on Thursday, July 20, 2023 at 4:30 p.m. I wanted to compare different quotes from these two different shops to see the kind of prices that I would be charged on this Brake Light Replacement Service. When I called this Oceanside Car Clinic and I talked to Eric who works for their shop, he told me that he is not at their shop right now. I explained to Eric that I want to get a Free Quote on this Brake Replacement Service that needs to be done on my 1995 Honda Civic DX Coupe Car. I want to know, how much would Eric charge me for this Brake Light Part and how much would he charge for his labor including the sales tax? Eric told me to send him 3 photos of my car and to text message him from the Oceanside Car Clinic's business phone number. Then Eric said he will give me the (price of the Brake Light Part) and he will also give me a FREE Quote on the (Brake Light Replacement Service). I said okay great. Eric's voice sounded really friendly during my cell phone conversation with him on Thursday, June 20, 2023 at 4:30 p. m. I have the proof in posting my photos and my text messages to Eric on my Apple IPhone XR. But it is also very important to write a review to explain the issue, I had with this automotive repair shop. As a Yelp Elite 2023 Reviewer, it is required from me to always tell the Truth with every experience I have with a business. I did send Eric these 3 screenshots on my 1995 Honda Civic DX Coupe Car. I also told Eric that my local automotive repair shop that I am a regular customer at currently is at this Golden Wrench Auto. Shop and I had recently had my car taken in for an oil and filter change with a 22 point inspection from my local auto. repair shop on June 6, 2023 and my car was fine. I had texted Eric all of this information about my car. Then Eric said he will text me back with a price on this Brake Light Replacement Service if I decide I want to have to get this service done at their Oceanside Car Clinic. I waited for Eric's response back to me on Thursday, July 20, 2023. Eric did NOT respond back to my text message to him from my Apple IPhone XR. Eric still had 30 minutes to respond back to my message to him. Eric never got back to me and like he said he would. I see this as (poor customer service) and the Oceanside Car Clinic needs to improve on their customer service skills. I want to let Eric know who works for this shop, you never know who is going to be calling your shop. It can be a Yelp Elite 2023 Reviewer like me or a potential customer. Please next time respond back to that person calling into your shop for a quote on a specific service. My assumption maybe is that since I told Eric I am a loyal customer at my local shop at the Golden Wrench Automotive Shop. It could possibly be that Eric doesn't want to take away another shop's business. I don't really know for sure, because I am not a mind reader. I think Eric should have been more (honest) to me and he should have told me that he will not respond back to me with a Free Quote on this Brake Light Replacement Service. I also learned that when I call around to some other automotive repair shops to compare prices on a specific service that I want a Free Quote on, these other automotive repair shops, they just care about making a profit and they don't care about me. This is my reason to give this Oceanside Car Clinic a (2 star rating). It could have been better. I rarely give a business a poor review. The only time I do give a business a poor rating is to alert that business to improve their customer service. It would be great if their manager or their owner would respond back to my review.

    I had an excellent experience at Niko's. There's a reason they have the rating they do…read more I brought my car in after a long period of not having done maintenance due to life stuff. My brakes were making a horrible noise. Niko's is BUSY, so the first available appointment wasn't until several days later. However, the representative asked me "Are you concerned it's unsafe to drive?" I said yes. She was able to squeeze me in sooner. When it came to the actual service, I was nervous about a ton of things being identified and being upsold on different repairs/maintenance tasks. Instead, Niko's identified only one other problem after diagnosing my check engine light. Niko called me and explained the situation in a non-condescending way. He made it clear what his recommendations were but that there was no pressure. My front brakes needed new pads and rotors (which I already suspected)--Niko could have easily said the rear brakes needed to be done, too. Instead he was honest and stated they were fine and had a good amount of time left on them. At every step they gave me to think through the purchase. They also worked with me and were flexible about drop off and pickup times. I left feeling that my car had gotten quality service from honest and helpful professionals.

    I went to Nikos to get a second opinion on a diagnosis. I had called just before the labor weekend…read moreand the lady who ansered the phone said they were super busy and they could only scan the car for codes. She said the diagnosis is 195.00 and it would go toward the repairs. I was fine with that. While I was waiting Niko came in the wait area and said he could diagnose it . I said great. I waited about 40 minutes and he came back in and talked to me and said he would only charge me 97.00. He answered my questions and he was very courteous . It's a family business and since he is honest and knowledgeable I am sure he has a great reputation. I would like to see a charging station in the wait area for customers to charge their phone while they wait and some water in the mini fridge.
