About Caruso Ford Lincoln Mazda

Caruso Ford has been a trusted name in the Long Beach community for over three decades. Our story began in 1985 when the Caruso family acquired Pacific Ford, followed by the addition of Long Beach Lincoln in 1992. In 2012, we proudly adopted the Caruso name — a reflection of the family values and commitment to excellence that have guided us from the very beginning.

Our fully equipped service center is staffed by factory-trained technicians using genuine Ford parts, so you can trust your vehicle is in the best hands.
