Repairs not fixed right the first time are one complaint in one- and two-star Google reviews of Ford dealers.

James H. posted a June 2026 Google review of AutoNation Ford Katy: “The heated and cooled seats were working on the test drive but didn’t work after the reupholstering and they have completely ignored me as well as trying to lie and say they were tested and worked.

Will the dealer show you a written record of any repair done on the car?

Prices that changed at signing come up in reviews of Ford dealers as well.

Dated June 2026, Paulo R.’s Google review of AutoNation Ford Katy reports: “Offer made at store location was 5 times lower than estimated provided on line. Car conditions were not overstated online. Shady practice to lure to the location.”
