Look at a dealer’s service department before you buy there
A dealer’s service department is where your car goes for maintenance and repairs for as long as you own it, so it is worth checking before you buy. Ask how service is booked, who works on the car, and whether the parts are on hand. Those answers tell you how the department will treat your car after the sale.
Ira Ford Auburn has in-house parts, tires, and collision centers.
Lease or finance by how long you keep the car
A lease and a loan suit different plans, so the choice starts with how long you expect to keep the car. Think about what you want at the end of the term, whether that is trading in, keeping the car, or owning it outright. Matching the payment method to that plan keeps the decision simple.
Leasing a Ford is available from us, as are new Ford finance and pre-owned car loans.

Three warning signs to check before you choose a Ford dealer
Each of these complaints comes from a one- or two-star Google review of a Ford dealer, and each is worth testing any dealer against.
Repairs not fixed right the first time is the first complaint to check. Lindedson A. reviewed McGovern Ford of Framingham on Google in February 2026:
“Some wires burned out and the car’s heater motor burned out. I went back and told them they had done something wrong to the car, so I had to wait 5 days for an appointment to get the car fixed.”
Ask whether the dealer will show you its repair records and how it handles a return visit for the same problem.
A December 2025 Google review of Franklin Ford from Annie S. reads:
“Maybe their team can consider courtesy calls in the future if they knew anything about customer service and basic common courtesy. Nothing excellent about this place.”
Ask how the sales team handles a customer who has a question after the first visit.
Prices that changed at signing is the third complaint to test. Nick E. posted a December 2025 Google review of Heritage Valley Ford:
“They finally tell me that the email price was wrong and they wont give me that price because I am out of state. If you like a dealer that plays the old bate and switch game, you’re going to love it here.”
Ask for the full out-the-door price in writing before you agree to anything.
