    BUYER beware!!! This review is based entirely on my documented experience. I trusted Phil Waterford's Manteca Ford with my Ford Transit, a commercial vehicle my business depends on. That decision led to over a year of breakdowns, unsafe situations, and thousands of dollars in losses. The original issue was engine overheating only while towing. Instead of identifying and fixing the root cause, the dealership replaced a transmission 2x's and two engines while repeatedly assuring me the problem was resolved. After the first engine replacement, I picked up the van and noticed it had only 8 miles to empty on the fuel gauge after they had test driven it. The vehicle was returned to me without being fueled, which I found completely irresponsible. I barely made it to a gas station before running out of fuel, which is not how any customer should receive a vehicle after a major repair. Within minutes of leaving the dealership, the van shut down on the freeway. Rather than towing it, I was instructed to drive it back in limp mode. I was later charged for additional repairs that followed immediately after their engine install. The vehicle continued to experience severe power loss, overheating, and major fluid leaks. Eventually, after two engines and two transmissions, the dealership replaced the radiator -- and for the first time, the towing-related overheating stopped. This confirmed the cooling system was the issue all along. Later, the vehicle broke down out of state and was taken to another Ford dealership. That dealership documented installation-related issues and also identified exhaust/EGR components that were old, soot-covered, and reinstalled during both engine replacements at Manteca Ford, rather than being replaced. These are parts that reasonably should have been replaced during an engine replacement, especially after two separate installs. Manteca Ford has refused to reimburse me for these repair costs and other related expenses and has stopped responding to emails and messages entirely. I now have an active case open with Ford Motor Company / Ford Pro and am providing full documentation for corporate review. If you are a business owner or rely on your vehicle for towing or work, I strongly recommend servicing your vehicle elsewhere.

    This place was a mistake from day one. The final straw is the fact they sold me a used car without a seat belt, which is AGAINST the LAW in California and they REFUSE to order and install said seatbelt. Mind you, this was a used car purchase for a teenager. Especially considering I have messaged them about this multiple times, and they've officially ghosted me. In fact they (ERIC) sent me a link to a general parts store to not only find the seatbelt myself, but apparently to buy and install it myself as well. The finance guy is a whole different issue. He was staring at his watch complaining the paperwork was taking too long. Completely rude and disrespectful. We drove over two hours after work, to which they agreed to meet with us late, then the finance guy treated like we were the biggest inconvenience. What a joke. Lastly, the engine light is already on less than two months after purchasing. Do NOT purchase from this place. I decided against buying a used vehicle off marketplace because I wanted to purchase from a trusted dealership. This was NOT IT.

    Johnny, Bill helped us get the right Mustang with premium options. The transaction was pretty quick and smooth and Jeff helped with all the signing. They have these great cars in the showroom as well!

    Our experience at Phil Waterford Manteca Ford was nothing short of excellent. Brandyn Waterford provided exceptional customer service and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Phil Jr. Waterford, the General Manager, was incredibly supportive and made sure we were well taken care of every step of the way. We also had an amazing experience with Bob, who finished up our transaction with ease and professionalism. The level of care, respect, and dedication we received truly stood out. If you're looking for a dealership that treats you right, this is the place to go! -Kat

    It's always awesome working with Bill!  When you need a new car, ask for Bill!

    See all

Even though it was after hours, Carlos was incredibly kind and told me to bring the car in right away. He welcomed me with a water bottle, reassured me that everything would be okay, and immediately helped me feel like I was in good hands. While I was there, I noticed he was also working on an Audi R8, which gave me even more confidence--clearly he knows his way around Audis. On Monday, he gave me a call to go over the repair estimate and mentioned another issue he noticed. He clearly explained everything and asked if I wanted to move forward. When the car was ready a few days later, he emailed me ahead of time with photos of the work and a detailed, itemized invoice. When I picked up the car, he walked me through exactly what he'd done and answered all my questions with patience and professionalism. Carlos went above and beyond to make a stressful situation feel easy and manageable. I truly felt taken care of.
