Customer Testimonials
Great Service!
Every service call has been a good experience I have nothing negative to say
Good experience overall. John and Kyle were super helpful and very transparent throughout the process. Would highly recommend this dealership to anyone.
Joe Hill made this very easy for us to maneuver. He was very helpful, it turned out that he and my husband were old acquaintances, they had a nice time catching up. I recommend Joe to anyone looking for a new vehicle.
Adrian was very easy to work with while making our most recent used vehicle purchase.
Joe Hill and his crew were all top notch! We are very happy with our new Bronco Sport.
I’ve owned about 15 Cars and my experience at Sunset Ford with Joe and Kyle was among the most transparent and honest I’ve experienced at a dealership. Joe was a top tier sales person and always had any car we wanted to drive out and ready for us, usually before we even arrived at the dealership. My Wife and I went through several different car options and had a good number of visits before finally making a purchase and despite the lengthy process we were always treated well!
Joe Hill was a pleasure to work with. No pressure, knowledgeable, and caring for the customer.. I look forward to working with Joe in the future Carr purchases.
The service manager and service writer were great. I have been telling people to go there.The technician should have been more careful and cleaner about the work he did.He left oil and oily prints on my vehicle.Overall Sunset ford is a great dealership.

Great experience at Sunset Ford in Waterloo. Friendly staff, transparent pricing, and a smooth buying process. The team was knowledgeable, helpful, and made everything stress-free.
Adrian was great to work with and very very knowledgeable. I love my new ride.
The whole experience was timely, professional and enjoyable. Joe Hill was very honest and easy to deal with. I talked to several people at the dealership. The customer service/experience was top notch. Thank you very much for helping us to make a great vehicle choice.
Great experience, Salesman John and the entire staff was easy to work with. Would recommend!
Salesman (Joe) aware of moderate accident on vehicle but fails to mention to buyer. Reputable dealer would have said on initial day of test drive and negotiating price that the vehicle had been in a moderate accident. Finally comes up four days later when finishing paperwork. Declined purchase and would not recommend dealer doing deceptive sales. Buyer beware: Black Ford Expedition has a lose front bumper and this vehicle had a moderate accident that required towing.
Great salesman, i told John ries what i was looking for, he had two trucks on the lot that were exactly what i was looking for, i asked him to get me a price that i liked and the next day i brought a check and we closed the deal, very pleasant experience
Good customer service. I ordered some parts and? Product ready when I got there
Adrian made this the smoothest purchase ever. Very happy with my sales person and the dealership too.

Adrian was very helpful with everything he showed me things on my vehicle before before I left
Joe was great to work with. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole car-buying process easy. He answered all my questions without any pressure. I’d definitely recommend Joe to anyone looking for a good car-buying experience.
The team was very helpful but especially John Ries was in contact with me every step of the way
Adrian was very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable with the whole process. Sunset ford is the place to go when looking for a vehicle.
I had an excellent experience with this John—professional, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely focused on helping me find the perfect car without any pressure.
John was very helpful in securing the Subaru Outback. He was always kind and spoke clearly about what was going on and keeping me updated. Great dealership, great people and great service! Thank you so much!
My husband and I have bought several cars in our life, and this was one of the smoothest, least stressful experiences we've had. Adrian worked closely with us and answered all of our questions. We never had to wonder what was going on from the initial contact to setting up the test drive and financing. When he couldn't be there for the final signing, John stepped in and knew everything about our situation. The sales manager Kyle reached out directly to make sure we were being taken care of and worked with us the day of the sale ... Read More

Joe and Crew made the car buying process a breeze. Made it in and out in a real good time.
No hassle and very friendly and offered a decent price for my trade in . I will be back for my next vehicle
Adrian was very knowledgable regarding the vehicle we purchased. Additionally, he answered all questions and concerns. It was a pleasant buying experience.
I requested they bring a car from st louis to watrrloo and they did. They r very accomodating.
This buying experience was really great. I came in a stressful situation when after 2 years, Ford couldn’t solve my battery issue despite many attempts. I tried to get Ford to buy back and when they declined, Adrian and Sunset stepped in. While they weren’t able to fully buy my 2024 Maverick back. They made me a very good offer on my truck and gave me a very good price on my new Maverick. Adriian, Kyle and the entire Sunset Waterloo team treated me right which I will always give them first shot on my next purchase. Adrian is very ... Read More

John R. Was wonderful to work with. He was professional, knowledgeable and kind. I would definitely recommend Sunset Ford and John Riess.
I spoke to Joe on Thursday and they will able to get me in on Saturday. When we got there we were immediately met with kindness.

The whole Sunset Ford crew was more than amazing when helping me find my perfect car. Joe was so understanding and made me so relaxed in what is usually such a stressful situation.

There is no other team that I would go to for ANYTHING dealing with cars! Guys, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Joe and the team at Sunset Ford Waterloo were great to work with. This was the best car buying experience.
Overall very disappointed with our experience. We are currently in a dispute with the dealer regarding undisclosed damage they refuse to cover. I could write an essay, but in summary be sure to 100% inspect every inch of the car before purchasing. The sales manager Kyle fed us some B.S. to make the sale day of regarding condition & now we are stuck with a devalued vehicle due to post sale located damage. They also pushed us into buying and taking home same day vs coming back without our kids by not letting us put money down and come back. ... Read More

What an amazing experience! Joe was amazing at answering our questions and Andrew is finance was very organized to get us out the door within an hour.
Working with Joe Hill was the easiest vehicle I’ve ever bought. He’s very knowledgeable on selling ford vehicles if we could we would give him 10 stars we would!!
Straight, honest & trustworthy
I’ve never been to this dealership and didn’t know what to expect because I live 3 1/2 hours away. Joe made me feel like a regular customer and took care of me and my family. There was no hidden fees basically no B.S that you can run into when buying a vehicle. Everything was explained and broken down and they didn’t try to force you to buy anything. Great experience!
They do what they say they will do. Very happy with the service.
This was hands down the easiest and best car purchase we’ve ever made. Joe was awesome and the test of the team, Andrew and Kyle made this purchase the best. Even driving an hour to do it was so worth it. Thank you Sunset Ford-Waterloo

Was a great experience overall. John was very nice and was willing to work with me while I was in the academy.
I was in a terrible situation with my car and Aiden and Kyle helped us out. Very accommodating from sales to service!! Definitely buy from them again!
John Ries was one of the best salesman I have ever dealt with at a dealership. I told exactly where I was, what I wanted to see and he did just that, rather than trying to blow smoke or be shady. He was full transparent and genuine, I wish more would be like him when buying a vehicle. Andrew was just as straightforward. This was the most honest, transparent, and straight forward crew I have dealt with when purchasing a vehicle. Will definitely recommend Sunset Ford of Waterloo to others.
I found a truck in their website that I really liked after shopping for a while. I called Joe and he quickly verified it was available. I’m a very short time over the phone we agreed on a price. At my first chance, I drove to Sunset and picked up my brand new F350! Process was easy and straightforward! I appreciate the simplicity of the deal! Thanks guys!
Joe was very helpful and friendly. We saw a car we were interested in on the internet. We called about it and Joe had it ready to go for us when we got there. The whole process was straightforward and not stressful at all. Highly recommended.
Always friendly and knowledgeable. Communications excellent. Work done well and completed on time.

I have always had a good experience, when dealing with Sunset Ford. I had an excellent experience with Adrain. He was very nice to work with and helped me fully understand my new vehicle. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a new vehicle.
I started searching the internet and found the truck at Sunset Ford. I sent a text to Adrian explain what I was looking for and he said they had the one I was looking for. When I arrived I was greeted by Adrian and we walk out to the truck. The color, engine size and overall truck was what I was looking for. The overall experience from the truck to signing the paper work went very fast. The staff were outstanding.
Good place
Joe was great to work with and made the whole process simple and easy. 2nd vehicle I have purchased from Sunset Waterloo and I will be back for sure.
