Help with Southern CA Ford dealers?

I'm looking for a Ford dealership w/a good diesel mechanic. Anywhere from Oceanside to San Diego. Any help with this is appreciated.

Try Rancho Ford in Temecula. I haven't had much luck with anyone but they at least seem to fix the problem(s) you bring it in for. Mine's been there a few times. Just be prepared to leave it there for a time.

Re: Help with Southern CA Ford dealers?

Thanks, I have a few problems that need fixing.

1. Turbo leaking.
2. Loss of coolant.
3. Hard start.
4. Lack of power going up-hill
5. Puking/stuttering going up-hill.
6. Periodically a hard slamming shift in transmission, from a stop to go.

Re: Help with Southern CA Ford dealers?

Try asking on the local PSD club site:
http://www.socaps.com
Southern California Power Strokes

A couple of the members in San Diego use Sunrise Ford in Fontana. Sunrise Ford is a sponsor here and on the local club site. They do all my work and I'm very happy with the service. Well worth the drive for me (60 miles + one way for me.)

Drew Ford in San Diego. Jason is the best by far.

Thanks, Fontana might be out of range. But I'll keep them close.

Drew Ford sounds good, I'll talk to Jason.

Another vote for Jason. He nursed my 03 through all it's growing pains... well at least until I got shipped off to this land of eternal sunshine.
