Very, very, very disappointed with the service I received. Took my 2016 Expedition there for service (engine oil, transmission, front/ rear differential, and transfer case fluid changes). Only take my truck to the dealer when I'm working on the road as I no way to service it with no tools, or garage of my own. Also, I always make sure the truck it clean... makes it easier for me to spot damage. Well, it rained the night before. It was a spotty in places; not so bad that I couldn't help but notice marks on my driver door. At first glance it looked like bird droppings. Then I noticed a blurred image in the paint... as if the panel was damaged. Upon closer inspection it was damaged... multiple scratches, three to four small dents, and exposed metal. I immediately went back inside to complain. Was given an apology from Warren... that doesn't help my paint. I suggested we get this taken care of as I am not a resident in the area. In town working on a contract; not exactly sure when I will be leaving.
I was taken to the body shop to get it taken care of, but was told they were busy. So busy that you can't take care of a customer that just $500 on their vehicle to keep it in great shape only to have a careless technician damage the vehicle he is servicing. After looking at other areas of my vehicle I noticed footprints on my door sill facing inwards. One of the foot prints (towards the rear of the driver seat and on the pillar) made me think they climbed up to look at the roof to see how I removed my roof rack. Since there is nothing up top to grab on to they fell back against the door, and it banged up against a tougher object. Just my theory... either way they need to fix it.
So, I was told by the body shop manager he had no time. Have to say I didn't like his attitude. It was as if my situation (which was no fault of mine) was bothering him). Like I have time to waste coming back to the dealership to wait for them to fix my vehicle. When I do bring it back what am I supposed to drive? How long will it take? Am I a priority? These guys told me I have to wait until November to get my issue taken of. Wow... great way to blow me off. Felt more like they pushed the date out to make me not want to come back.
I realize the auto industry is taking a hit due to our current economic situation. However, dealers need to realize it's the service people get that make them want to do business with them in the first place. Take care of people and they will take care of you. Well, I'm taking care to warn others to heed this type of blatant disregard for the customer... you damage the vehicle and make it ready for pickup line nothing happened. You don't deserve to serve customers. Might be more of the reason your dealership needs more business than anything else going on.
My damage would have taken a good body shop guy a no time to do. I paid for my service, so I should have left there completely satisfied. Pretty sure the body shop was working on vehicles for them to sell... could care less because my truck was messed up.
Totally forgot to mention it took them two days to change my engine oil, rear differential and transfer case fluid. Also, told them to do my transmission and front differential. They told me the transmission fluid looked ok (I have 150k; needs to be changed!!!). Then told me the front differential can't be serviced; need to remove the axles to change the fluid. What? I wouldn't trust them if I were you. Sounds more like they are trying to get the used cars ready to put out on the lot, and prefer not to have any distractions; like paying customers. The body shop area was full of used cars... guess that's why I couldn't get the damage they caused to my door fixed.
In regards to the items they didn't service, this same dealership would probably love to charge me for a new transmission, or front differential, if I ever would bring it to them complaining that it's "shifting weird", or making a "funny noise". Of course it would be if the people who are supposed to be qualified to maintain our vehicles don't know how/ don't wanna fix them.
I hope Ford never allows them to sell another car!!! read more
