If I could divide them and critique them separately, I would but both the Ford service department, Express Lube service and the Body shop are all part of the same location.
Lube service - the Express lube service is great! no appointment is necessary but it helps to ensure your wait time is low. they let you watch the techs as your car is working through a glass window while you drink a free coffee or hot chocolate. the people ether are very friendly and polite, although I only been there twice, they consistently meet my expectations.
Service Department - technically I was there for an Oil change and somehow the service department took the work. no as warm or friendly as the express area, but they did a great job and quickly got me in and out. I didn't get to watch my vehicle get worked on, but they did vacuum my carpets.
Body Shop - this is where the location gets a big hit. they try to act friendly, but it feels forced and fake. gal at front desk doesn't seem to know what she is doing. I needed to replace my windshield due to winder cracks. gravel chips, cold and heat... pop and crack. over the phone they said they needed to see the vehicle in person to do and estimate. really? are Fords so unstandardized that even a dealership can't get a part from a known make/model/year? I'll give you a hint, you have them on the parking lot! so I take time out of my day to stop in. it took longer than the 15 mins it was suppose to take, and they wanted pictures. its a cracked windshield, what is the big deal? they kept asking me if the insurance was gong to pay for it. I kept telling them if its over my $500 deductible I was going someplace else. they ordered the part and cornered me into accepting their quote. I wanted to wait for Safelite but they are 3 weeks out... so I said yes. I dropped off my vehicle for all day the next day. when its time to pick it up, they call me and said they can't do the job because the part that seals around the windshield didn't come. so they waited until 2PM to tell me they would have to wait a week. not only am I Inconvenienced for 1 day, but now 2 and I still have no proof of their performance. so far, its not good. All I get it constant "its not our fault" and "we are sorry." in no way did they offer to make this up to me, give me something for my inconvenience. nothing but a wasted day. to make matters worse, she kept repeating "its not our fault." I honestly don't care, I know its not my fault but I'm the customer and I'm the one inconvenienced. let me spell out how it is your fault. - did you call to confirm all parts were in the box and shipped to you? no. - did you double check part description to ensure all parts were included? no, its standard to get them all in the kit... look like it isn't standard. You said you called everywhere looking for the missing part and nobody had it. but it took you less than 5 minutes to find a windshield. so all those parts laying around Portland does not have the needed part in its kit that supposedly comes with every windshield? think that through a minute. now, admit its your fault.
If it wasn't for the Express and service department having such great experiences, I would rate it a 0 for incompetence. So if your getting a simple oil change, this is the place to go. If your getting body work done, look someplace else or expect incompetent. read more
