Welcome to Santa Margarita Ford!

About Us – Orange County Ford Dealership

Thank you for visiting our website. We’d love to share with you what we feel makes us special.

Our family business originated in Downey, California in 1951. Santa Margarita Ford opened for business in 1997 and we have been selling and servicing Fords in South Orange County for over 20 years now. Back then, people thought we were crazy for opening a dealership in Rancho Santa Margarita, but we were blessed to be successful from the start.

Our strategy since opening has always to take care of our customers, employees, and the community at large. We felt that if we did those three things consistently, we’d be successful.

We know it’s not easy. People don’t like the car buying process. It can be too long and uncomfortable. It lacks transparency. We understand. Which is why we work hard every day to be different. And it’s paid off with the highest customer satisfaction ratings of any South County dealer of any kind when you search online.

Please stop by or check us out online. Just give us a try. We’re convenient, competitive, and right here in your backyard. We’re out to make this community so darn happy on the road it just might break records.

We get you. We get what you want. We get it.
