Proudly Serving South Gate and Southeast Los Angeles
From our lot on Firestone Boulevard, just west of the 710, Central Ford is the Ford dealership for South Gate and the cities packed around it — Cudahy, Lynwood, Bell Gardens, Bell, Downey, Maywood, Huntington Park, Compton and Paramount. In this part of Los Angeles the nearest Ford store is usually decided by which freeway you’re on, and for these communities that store is us. We carry one of the deepest commercial and fleet inventories in the region alongside the full retail lineup, so the contractor buying a Transit and the family buying an Explorer are shopping the same lot. Start with our new Ford inventory, browse pre-owned vehicles, or schedule service before you head over.
Everything You Need, All Under One Roof
No matter which community you call home, Central Ford brings the whole experience together in one place:
- More than 150 new Fords on the ground — F-150, Super Duty, Ranger and Maverick trucks, Bronco, Bronco Sport, Explorer and Expedition SUVs, the Mustang and Mustang Mach-E — all in our new inventory and searchable in the full inventory.
- A dedicated commercial and fleet department stocking Transit cargo and passenger vans, Super Duty chassis cabs and E-Series cutaways for the trades, delivery fleets and small businesses across Southeast LA.
- A Ford service center with factory-trained technicians, genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts, Saturday hours and current service specials — plus a parts department where you can order parts online.
- A finance center that works with Ford Credit and a wide network of lenders: run the payment calculator, value your trade, then apply for financing online.
- A large, bilingual team you can meet before you visit — read why customers buy here, learn about our dealership, or contact us any time.
The Communities We Serve Near South Gate
Ford Dealer in South Gate, CA
We’re on Firestone Boulevard at the heart of South Gate, a block off the Long Beach Freeway’s Firestone exit. For South Gate families and businesses, that means a Ford dealership, a service center and a parts counter within a few minutes of anywhere in the city.
Ford Dealer Near Cudahy, CA
Cudahy is about 5 minutes from our doors along Firestone and Atlantic. It’s the closest thing we have to a next-door neighbor, and Cudahy drivers use us the way you’d hope — drop the truck for service on the way to work, pick it up on the way home.
Ford Dealer Near Lynwood, CA
Lynwood sits about 8 minutes southwest via Long Beach Boulevard or the 710. Lynwood sends us a lot of first-time buyers and a lot of working trucks; both get the same straight explanation of the numbers and the same salesperson from the first handshake to the keys.
Ford Dealer Near Bell Gardens, CA
Bell Gardens is about 7 minutes east along Firestone and Garfield Avenue. We’re the closest Ford dealership to Bell Gardens, and the full lineup — Maverick to Super Duty, Bronco Sport to Expedition — is on the lot to compare in person.
Ford Dealer Near Bell, CA
Bell is roughly 8 minutes north of us up Atlantic Boulevard. For Bell’s small businesses, our commercial department stocks the Transit vans and chassis cabs that keep a crew moving, with fleet-minded pricing and service scheduling that respects a work week.
Ford Dealer Near Downey, CA
Downey is about 10 minutes east on Firestone Boulevard — one road, no freeway. Downey drivers shop the whole lineup, from a Mustang Mach-E for the commute to an Expedition for the family, and we’re a shorter, simpler drive than heading out to Cerritos or Montebello.
Ford Dealer Near Maywood, CA
Maywood is about 10 minutes north via Atlantic Boulevard. We’re the nearest Ford store for Maywood households, with pre-owned vehicles for every budget, financing that works around real credit histories, and a service department that speaks your language.
Ford Dealer Near Huntington Park, CA
Huntington Park is about 10 minutes northwest along Florence and Pacific. For a dense, busy city, having a full-line Ford dealership this close matters most for service — a ten-minute trip is one you’ll actually make on schedule.
Ford Dealer Near Compton, CA
Compton drivers reach us in about 12 minutes via the 710 or Long Beach Boulevard. Compton sends us trucks — F-150s, Rangers, Transits — and we stock the working configurations rather than just the showpieces, with a parts counter that knows what LA miles do to a vehicle.
Ford Dealer Near Paramount, CA
Paramount is about 12 minutes south via Garfield Avenue. As the nearest Ford dealership to Paramount, we make the trip worthwhile: the vehicle you asked about is out front, your trade is appraised while you look, and the finance conversation happens once rather than in stages.
