Trusted Hometown Ford Dealership in San Angelo, TX
Some businesses come and go, but Jim Bass Ford has been woven into the fabric of San Angelo since 1961. More than six decades of serving this community means we've sold and serviced vehicles for parents, their children and now their grandchildren -- that's not a sales pitch, that's just our history. We're not a chain, we're not a big-box operation, and we're not a stranger. We're your neighbors, and this is our hometown too.
As a fourth-generation, family-owned dealership, the values that guided our founders still guide us today -- honesty, accountability and genuine care for every person who walks through our doors. We've earned recognition as a Top Volume Dealer and a past President's Award recipient, but what we're most proud of is simpler than any trophy: the loyalty of San Angelo families who keep coming back, year after year, vehicle after vehicle.
