In & out the next day after calling about a safety recall that began giving my car some problems. Bought my vehicle at Mike Bass Ford so I called there first & representatives in service dept dont answer the phone there & have a voice-mail greeting that says this voice-mail box is currently full. Unsure of where to turn, I called here & a pleasant voice answered immediately getting me in the very next day, (today) and am already out. Years ago I bought a new car here that lasted 14 good years with very few problems. Next time I need a car this will be the 1st place I look. Much thanks for always being great!👍

I have to say that most every experience at Kowalski Ford is positive and for what Im about to say doesnt reflect on the business, but I feel I need to say something. Ill be curious to see if, in fact, these surveys actually matter to a business or a service.Ive been waiting for a internal engine component for going on 4 months now. I did get notified this week that it had arrived, however it arrived damaged and unusable. The dilemma is do I now have to wait another 4 months for a replacement? Ford Motor Company do you have an answer for me? I do have the advantage that I can still drive my truck, (with check engine light on continuously) but do I run the risk of causing some internal engine damage as a result of your inability to provide critical engine components? Further is this unacceptable delay a result of Kowalski Ford being a small dealership thus they lack the ability to compete with the larger dealerships for parts? Whats your answer FMC?I have realistic knowledge that some parts of the country are experiencing issues regarding products but this situation has gone beyond ridiculous. So FMC I anxiously await your response to me and your plan to resolve this issue.George Seroka

I had an issue with my Lincoln MKZ. Jason in service was fantastic and super helpful! I dropped off the car after hours. It turns out that I got sold a bad battery from someone else. Jason found the issue and called first thing in the morning. I went up there and they didnt Nickel and Dime me. He found the issue free of charge and didnt charge me hourly labor (which in my experience is unheard of). I still have a warranty on the battery, but if I didnt, I wouldve purchased from them! I will now take my car to them for all issues. They have earned my trust and my business!

I was really happy with the service at Kowalski Ford. I was able to get in for an oil change on the same day that I called. They were very quick and efficient and most importantly, they were very accommodating.

What a fantastic vehicle buying experience! I recently bought a hard to find Bronco Sport, and their treatment was 100% above board. Rich made the buying experience a joy, and went above and beyond. What a privilege to have this small family run dealer right here in Avon Lake! I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!

I have been a customer of Kowalski Ford in Avon Lake for a long time and just wanted you to know that their service department and sales staff are tops in what they do. Every time I take in my car or truck I always know Im getting the best service around. Thank to all of you at Kowalski Ford for all you do for me and my family.

Horrible customer service, refused to do a national Ford windshield recall on my truck. But, still wanted my customer pay work of course. Never again. Appears you get better service if you purchase your car or truck from them. If they have what you are looking for. I guess fords warranty isnt good at all ford dealers. Not this one

Kowalski Ford always deal with any issue I may have with my Escape, which aren’t very many, in a timely fashion. I normally just take my car in for oil changes but recently i needed a battery and they got me in the very next day. Only because i found out on a Sunday that my battery had died. i am very pleased with everything this company offers.

I took my 2004 Ford F150 with 238,000 miles to Kowalski Ford in Avon Lake Ohio for vibration as highway speeds.The did a thorough job of balancing and rotating my tires, but also quick checked my alignment, brake pad wear, and tire tread depth remaining.Same day service was painless and effortless.Thanks to everyone at the dealership for giving back to me the ride quality I deserve and expect.

Review №23

I am BEYOND disappointed with this place. They didn’t complete work in the time promised, the car came back with the driver side door that was unable to open, and NO ONE would accept responsibility. Extremely poor customer service and extremely rude manager. I would give it negative stars if I could.

We had AMAZING customer service with Kowalski Ford! They never tried to jerk us around on our deal for our new car, they kept the deal very straight forward and honest, and it was the kind of people and place you’d want to do business with. It’s family owned and they take the time to explain things to you and converse with you without you feeling rushed in such a big purchase. We had the pleasure of working with Raegan and Zach, and we will continue to go to this dealership in the future.

Kowalski Ford Dealership is great service, Never been in a dealership when the owner treats you like you are family! You can sit down with Regan and talk for an hour about Fords! Regan is a hands on owner who will go back in the shop to find out what is going on with your vehicle and return to give you an update. Cant say enough good things about everyone at this dealership.

Great Ford dealer with that extra personal touch! I purchased my latest Ford here. They did not have the Ford I wanted on their lot, Rich went & picked it up for me from another lot. The transaction went so smooth from beginning to end! Rich set up my Ford Pass so I can earn points to use for future services, also spent as much time as I needed to understand my new vehicle.

Scheduled an appointment for an oil change for 7am on their website. I arrive there to be told that no technicians are there until 8am and that hell look into why the system scheduled me at 7am but asks me to come back at 8am and leave the car and MAYBE they can get to it. I went elsewhere and had my oil changed 25 minutes later. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. I wont be back. Zero Stars.

Stopped in around noon to have the guys look why my engine light was on.Was told most were at lunch and leave my car. They gave me a loaner and went back to work. Got a call and was told it only needed to be reset and to come pick up my car. Everyone at Kowalski - from the sales staff to the mechanics have always been great in servicing my vehicle. I wouldnt go anywhere else....

I have been taking my Fords to Kowalski Ford for close to 20 years (including Lloyd-Manwell). I have always been happy with the quality of their work. and have always felt they were honest with me when it came the repairs. I have never felt like I was taken advantage of, like I have at repair shops in the past.I sold my Ford this week. I dont know what I am buying yet, but if my next car is a Ford, there is no doubt I will have it serviced at Kowalski Ford.

Great dealership filled with friendly and helpful employees. I went into the dealership today to purchase my edge as our lease was up. I found financing better elsewhere and Bob couldnt have been more helpful. I was in and out in about 15 minutes and he was so helpful. Now I see why this dealer has so many positive reviews. I will certainly be back and I would highly recommend doing business with this dealership

This dealership is not like other dealerships. The front area is cozy with a fire place, taxidermied animal heads on the wall, and a small, friendly feel. The sales people are friendly and the staff is attentive. The service department does a great job and can typically do everything while you wait.

Everyone at the dealership is amazing! They truly listen to you, know their products and they don’t make you feel like a sale.

I absolutely love doing business with this dealership and their maintenance department. I never feel like they are trying to make a quick buck off me, they are honest to the point of NOT making a sale because I truly dont need it. Good, honest people make doing business a pleasure. I will be back time and again and will always recommend.

I brought my 2015 Ford Fusion in for its second oil change last week. Both times the staff were very nice, helpful, and professional, even when they were slammed with customers and phone calls.Glad my salesman Kevin & the owner were able to make everything possible. I upgraded from a used 2004 Mercury Sable, and absolutely love the features, size, and style of the Fusion. Highly recommend the car & the dealership :)

Review №89

Service Department is the WORST I have ever had to deal with anywhere. I typically use the Ford service department where I purchased my vehicle for oil changes and service but I had a recall on my vehicle so I had to go to this location. I figured knock out oil change and the recall in one visit. Made an appointment a week prior. When I arrived they looked at me like they had no idea what I was there for. The service that was supposed to take 2 hours took over 6. I gave them my cell phone number to call instated of the phone number that was linked to my account when the vehicle was ready so I can pick it up. When they finally finished just before close they called the home number not my cell number. Luckily someone was there to answer. The person contacting us was very unprofessional and said we needed to come right away to pick up the vehicle because they were closing soon (after we waited all day for them to finish). The icing on the cake was that the car was a total mess when we picked it up and they tried to charge us for the free services. Needless to say we will not be going back here recall serve or not!

I had a few issues with scheduling. I scheduled online initially and they couldn’t complete the required recall maintenance that day so I rescheduled for the following Saturday. I got a call during the week and they wanted me to bring me in sooner to get it completed which was nice. All in all it was a good experience and they fixed my car up quickly and even washed it for me! I would suggest calling instead of scheduling online.

The experience couldn’t have been better, Regan the owner and the salesman I worked with Kevin we’re super friendly. They were straightforward, knowledgeable, they are small dealership which allows them to give you more attention. They take time to make sure you understand everything. Also they don’t play the games most dealerships do. That back-and-forth with the general manager until you’re ready to pull your hair out. No pressure to buy Other accessories or warranties. It’s a dealership you’ll be glad you Dealt with.
