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 DealerRater - May 3, 2026
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 DealerRater - May 1, 2026
Our sales person, Joe, was very attentive to our automotive needs, and provided us the best product. We are very happy with our 2026 Ford Escape PHEV.
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. This was my first time buying a car but they made the whole process so quick and easy. They were logical and practical when I asked questions and truthful in the best way. I am in love with my purchase and will most definitely be going back there to buy cars in the future. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free car buying experience.
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. Kyle was also beyond helpful and you can tell the whole team truly cares about their customers and getting them into the perfect car for them. Joe, Kyle, and Andrew, thank you so much for everything! There is no other team that I would go to for ANYTHING dealing with cars! Guys, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I was looking for a specific SUV when I met John. He was very helpful and patient throughout the process of purchasing the vehicle, and followed up with me often. I was very comfortable working with him!
Efficient and pleasant to work with
John was helpful and got us into the ford f150 lightning we were hoping for.
What's not to say? John and the team at Sunset Ford went above and beyond to help me find a car that fit my needs and worked within my budget. They helped explain everything in a clear way that didn't feel too overwhelming. I've avoided financing a car thinking the whole process was going to be a hot, unmanageable mess for me. They made the whole experience feel like a breeze!! 1000/10 Reccomend!! I couldn't have had a better team to help me through my journey. Thanks John!!! Yall are THE best☆☆☆☆☆
John was personable and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend John to anyone purchasing a vehicle. Thank you John for your assistance!
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 DealerRater - Apr 11, 2026
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
Great communication, very helpful with all my questions amd worked with me to get a great deal
