Tow Capability of the 2022 Ford Explorer | Gene Messer Ford Amarillo
Great costumer service. " Shout out to Noha " friendly and professional. The service was fast and informative.
Worst experience purchasing a vehicle. John Turk is the worst. I would stay away from this dealership.
Service department was very helpful and knowledgeable about my vehicle issue and got me fixed up.
Never any complaint good customer relationship everything on time every one listens to my problems
Excellent staff very knowledgeable and professional people to deal with. Would recommend group 1 ford to anyone.
Service lady was good but the mechanic not at all other dealer fixed the problem
Shalina is always helpful and pleasant which is what made working with JC while she wasn’t there so much more disappointing. His attitude is awful. I will do everything thing I can to work with Shalina she’s the best
The service personnel were very helpful and quickly and professionally completed the work in a timely manner
They helped me get in and out in a timely manner. Salesmen and women were super nice as well
We had a check engine light that turned on en route hauling out Fifth wheel from Beeville TX to Grand Lake Colorado. We read great reviews about your dealership so we took a chance. Our experience with JC was phenomenal. We were expecting a long wait and the possibility of having to cancel our trip. We were so happy that out repairs were done the same day and we had our truck back by 6 pm. We were able to make our trip to Colorado after all. So grateful to JC and the repair team. Thank you so much.
They are always friendly and accommodating. I will always go to them for service and new vehicles.
Sub par service. Service department failed in almost every way. And they dented the top of my fender by dropping something on it. They did not resolve the issue I sent it in for.
Service appt time was exact. I didn’t have to wait, and the work was done quicker than expected. Jay was my service rep and did a great job.
This dealership is amazing. Fast and truly reliable services. The Service advisor and technicians are the best in my opinion. I am very satisfied with the services. I will definitely be returning back to this dealership. Thank you and have a blessed weekend 🙏
I always appreciate Jermey C each time I take my truck to be serviced. Online scheduling is a breeze.
I gave a 5 star because of Andrew Sullivan who helped me in the service department. He is amazing, knowledgeable, trustworthy and so helpful!
Fast prompt service. In and out with no issues. Noah was helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you.
Very friendly and yeeasy to work with courteous supper service just all out nice thanks
Appreciate the service,received on my recall. Received a call I needed to have a recall service and they sent a nice man out to my house and had it fixed in no time.
I met Jeremy in service last August on a Saturday morning when I came to the dealership for some needed repair. He went out of his way to help a out of town Ford customer with my door problem.
Great, friendly service. Danny in the service depth kept me updated with the status of my Mustang.
Jeremy was there when I arrived and we discussed the service for today. Service was completed quickly and thoroughly.
The mobile service technician came to my house and did the needed work. It was very convenient, and I didn't have to have the car towed.
I like salesman Todd Nelson. He went above and beyond. He insured I got my 1st free oil change as promised.
Needed an Oil change, they got my Bronco in and got it serviced. Didn't have to wait to long. Great customer service! Todd Nelson is very good, he does a very good job. Thankyou Todd!
It was a good service department and all the rep’s were easy to work with
I had an appointment today for an oil change and it took over two hours to complete it. The service advisor was nice but there was no excise for it taking that long.
Gene Messer took care of my issues and I was able to pick up my maverick in about 4 hours.They kept me informed by text and phone. They were very professional and curtious.
I was stranded in Amarillo when my new pu broke down 8 hours from home. JC made sure that my problem was his priority, and he kept me informed throughout. Excellent communication and customer service.
Had early morning appointment and they were ready for me. Service was great. Very happy with the service team.
Extremely clean service area. Courteous staff. Appreciated the shuttle service so we could run some erronds and have lunch while our car was serviced. Five star service all around.
First time to buy a car from a dealership. Jessica was well informed and made the buy easier.
The salesman who helped was very helpful and friendly. There was no pressure. We showed him the vehicle e were interested in and he worked with us get it.
Jeremy Chastain was very nice and helpful to me wood definitely go back to Group 1 Ford

Awesome job at f1 Ford dealership, keep up the good works. Much appreciated and exciting
Gene messer ford sent a technician to my home to complete a safety recall on the transmission. This made the work go very smoothly.
Felt very appreciated and confident my vehicle was taken care of properly. Also got 10% discount using Saturday service
Provided great individual care at a time of crisis when traveling through Amarillo, Texas. Thanks!
I had the oil changed and tires rotated. Service tech sent me a comprehensive video of the multi- point inspection. He suggested something I had done myself, but was glad he checked and made the suggestion. I thought the service was good and a fair price, I did have a coupon the made some difference. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars, the service tech failed to put my locking lug nut key back in the car after he used it. 75 miles north of town I had a flat and had to wait for the dealer to drive the key ...

Arrived & found out one recall couldn’t be done. Left car for the other recall. 2 hours later they called & said recall was done previously. Shouldn’t that be in computer somewhere for reference?? Wasted trip & 2 wasted rides~ from dealership & back home. Nor was great, but wasted 4-ish hours of day
Misty was very attentive, worked hard for us, answered all our questions and set everything up. She was great!
Very thorough inspection and service to my truck. I only use Gene Messer Ford to service my Ford trucks.
The dealership was neat help was really good. Our salesman treated us with respect and was full of information over overall writing which five star.
Great experience! Mr. Noah Mendez is dedicated, very friendly, into his job. Thank you Noah, I’m very impressed.
They worked on our vehicles at Amarillo College fast, efficient, very good quality of work. I’m very satisfied with them every time.
Nice people working here. My service was better fast and a good job. Thank you so much.😊
We appreciate the salesman that helped us. He very supportive and helpful. Jon Turk was great.
They were kind and did what they said they would do! And I will go back price was also good!
They were very helpful and not pushy. That was a plus for us. I would definitely tell my friends and family to stop for a car there at Group 1.
Took 2024 F150 in for air conditioner work. 5 days later they hadn’t looked at it. Took it somewhere else and it was repaired in 2 days.
Bronco died 22 miles outside of Amarillo on a Sunday evening. Towed to Messer Ford, dropped keys in a box and just hoped. JC texted me the next morning, said they had the truck and would let me know as soon as they could. Later that afternoon they figured out what happened, ordered the part and had me back on the road before they closed Tuesday night. Took a bad situation and made it ok. Thank you JC and Messer Ford.
Awesome service, very fast, very friendly! Very much appreciated because I’m a very busy guy!
Omar and Chris helped me get in the vehicle I’ve been searching for for months! Got the payments where I wanted and helped explain and showed me all the newest technology on my new car! Made the deal over text and was in and out of the dealership in 30 min!
Tech reported a 2 day old part needed replacement. Obviously up selling. Tech failed to find crack in air intake hose
Salesmen were very knowledgeable about their vehicles with no pressure tactics. The showroom floor was incredible.
Everyone is polite and the customer service has always been great. I feel like my car is taken care of.
Noah was great and very helpful however this dealership always finds a way to ruin our interaction
I called for appointment to service my Aviator and it was scheduled for the next morning. It was completed within 2 hours with no issue whatsoever.
I appreciate the Works special. The inspection video review helps in deciding how and when to correct issues or provides piece of mind when receiving an all green evaluation.
Damien helped me out with a handicap van that was produced by ford but no longer is made. He was patient and tried to figure out the best option for my situation which was the battery. In the end he found a solution and helped me out !
They solved all our roadside issues and got us back on the road to continue our vacation. I felt like we were treated as favorite clients ( even though we live in DFW area ) and had never visited their dealership before. Excellent attention and service!
New to the area and was looking for a place to service my vehicle. Liked the way I was received and kept in the loop as to what was going on with my vehicle. First impression was a good one.
Henry helped us buy a vehicle and he was so kind and knowledgeable. He made everything very easy snd left us with a full tank of gas. I appreciate that so much! Thank you for making a stressful process easy!
I had the 21 point check up done on my 2013 Ford f250 HD. I knocked off the first thing on the list because I did not want tires moved or air adjusted. So left 19. They were suppose to check battery. Both of these were ordered by the two coupons I gave them.
Over an hour and half later, I saw I got the email say truck was ready. Tried to watch video on email but link didn't work of the mechanic do the checks on the upper area of the truck or the actual oilchange.
When truck came back around ... Read More DealerRater - Jun 16, 2026
My salesman was very helpful and friendly with me and answered all questions about vechile
Great service at my house! Every thing was taken care of in a few minutes.
Very pleasant experience. Completely different from Messer service department for the last several years. Danny Pollard was great. Kept me up to date on the progress of the service. Work was completed in the time frame he had predicted. Explained in detail what service had been performed.
Danny,Noe and his driver picked up and delivered my car A+ very nice guys
This dealership has gone down hill.. the service dept is aweful. If you have a big issue with your car forget it
Poor communication to get updates on repairs. No point even making a appointment if they don’t even get to is for the next 2 days
The mobile service option with this dealership is a great way to keep me coming back. This is the third car that I have bought from this company and will probably continue.
Great customer service! Took care of both of my vehicles and walked me through what I needed to keep them in great condition!
Took my truck in for service. They did a very thorough inspection and did a great job of explaining and recommendations. Jeremy in the service department is great at what he does and very responsive and knowledgeable.
It took a little longer that I wound have like but I had a different sale than most but the people were great 👍
Good service. Danny took great care of me and kept me up to date on the process.
JC is the goat. Meaning the greatest of all time. GOAT goat goat goat goat
Efficient. Proficient. Effective. Shalina was everything I needed as a customer trying to figure out my warranty.
Service was completed as promised and the cost estimate was spot on. The delivery process was smooth and thanks for a ride to get my truck picked up. Highly recommend this dealership.
Had a bit of an emergency with my DEF sensor over Memorial Day weekend. They got me in, got it fixed and back on the road. Saved our vacation. Very helpful and I really appreciated it.
Andrew was very helpful and explained everything to me!! And I got out in a very reasonable amount of time!!
The group of guys in the service department are always great. They go way beyond expectations.
Todd Nelson was excellent to work with. He is very calm and helped us look for what we wanted.
Great experience! Chris Gabehart was great as was Josh in finance. Not our first or last vehicle to purchase with them!
Josh did a great job! Great service and all my questions were answered. I intend to always use Ford dealership
Been going there for years. I have bought and had all tricks serviced there. Very easy to work with
They fixed my tire super quickly and even sent me a video of the leak!! Dawn was so helpful and the tech was very informative of what's going on with my car!
I enjoy coming to this dealership for my services. They’re always friendly and quick.
Customer service was excellent and very friendly. They was very helpful and nice. I would recommend
Took my 2015 F150 in for routine oil change and tire rotation. They service was quick and smooth. They are currently the only place I trust for service. I would recommend them for anyone needing their vehicle serviced.
Great coupons for oil change and recalls are priority one. They give you a ride to from anywhere
They keep you updated on your car and are helpful. They are honest and know what their competitors can/cannot do to your car.
Service was quick and efficient getting my truck in for service and I had a ride home about 10 minutes later. Had my truck finished around 10, had a call saying someone would be coming to pick me up and I very much appreciate the drivers, service techs who did the repairs and the young man in the service bay who got me checked in. Thank you.
Great experience! Shane, Turk, Gordan, & Henry were all very very very very very professional and honest!
Gene Messer Ford service department is the best. They are always in tune with what I need with the servicing of my two Ford work vehicles. I always leave the dealership with a hi degree of confidence when I pick up my vehicle. Keep on doing what you are doing.
The service people were great bit the work took 3 hours longer than it was suppose to
As always Outstanding service department staffed with great folks! My service writer JC says what he means and sees that what he says gets done. Any and all requests I make for my vehicle is taken care of and done so that my vehicle is returned to me in the same condition. Very clean inside and out. He knows what a picky person I am. JC is very knowledge about all matters of service that may come up and ensures all questions have been answered before I leave his desk. As we had a saying while I was in the ...

Jeremy went above and beyond during my oil change visit. He called me an Uber because the shuttle driver was occupied and even dropped off my car at my house!! Jermey is very amiable!
Service mechanic done a very poor job went in for service light on and took 4 months to work on the and still didn't fix the problem. My car got damaged while it was getting worked on. Scratched my fenders damaged my louvers and still charged me $2'200.00 to get my car out. Scratched my polished aluminum dress up that I added on. Not satisfied at all very poor work from mechanic that worked on my car. I give him a zero star in my books. Cut up my new wiring harness no need for that. Still very unhappy with the ...
