Warning - Warning..... -100 Stars . DO Not use this dealer to service your vehicle!
I have never used the word SHADY to describe any place of business before, these people are SHADY!
I brought in my vehicle for a State inspection, "The Works coupon" and to check out my 4x4 drive system. I was called the next day after I dropped it off I was called multiple times with multiple prices for the same repairs in one hour for the same job. Shady!
I told them I had that "The Works" coupon when I dropped off my vehicle. Zackary said "no problem. "
When Zackary called and said the "THE WORKS coupon " was over $55.00+ (????? the FORD coupon price was $39.99 plus an extra quart of oil my vehicle takes 6 quarts. Today I found a coupon price for $29.99) and the transmission Flush was X. I said "wait a minute I have that coupon and I never said FLUSH a thing"!!! I called backed twice to tell them NEVER FLUSH anything on my vehicle there is over 200,000 miles on that vehicle. They should know better!!!!
I failed State Inspection for a Tie Rod end, a pitman arm and rear brakes, rear brake light bulb.
{6 months ago I replaced the front brakes, when I did the shop said the rears have 6mm left and you don't have to replace them for awhile. That was only 3167 miles ago, I don't drive this vehicle as much as I use to. I have the rear brake pad and rotors in back of my vehicle because I thought I needed them months earlier. Zackary said just to install my brakes with my parts the labor would be $187.00 plus tax. ?? Odd the ford brake coupon was $175.00 they install their ford pads and machine the rotors labor included for the truck I called ford and asked them). Ford said that was a little off to. Ford emailed me the coupon !
The vehicle drove great, I thought I coming in for a State Inspection , the works coupon and just to check out my 4x4 system.
If it needed a Tie rod and pitman the front end would go all over the road? I know this because 4 years ago I replaced the right side. I asked Zackary when to pick it up how far out it was and he had to no idea!
The price changed twice on those repairs, it was far higher on the 2nd call.
For just what ok d them to do the price went up over $125.00 on the 2nd call in an hour! {Shady }
Zackary called back and said you need a 4x4 motor to start .
To start.. I told Zackary when I dropped off the 4x4 motor was going in and out. Zackary stated it took the mechanic half the day to figure out!!! How, when I just told you before I dropped it off I thought it was going. I am not a mechanic but I figured out that one and it didn't take half the next day to figure out!
Zackary said I needed to START with replacing this part first, it may need more parts on top of this! I guess the scan tool couldn't tell them much more?
The SERVICE MANAGER hides in his office and never came out when I came to pick up my vehicle. I asked to speak with him to ask him how he could justify how this dealership treats loyal ford customers and why I was called multiple times with different prices for the same repairs!
Very Shady!
Oh, The kicker as I was leaving they told me my rear coil spring was broken and would NEVER pass inspection until that was fixed! WHAT ! NO ONE SAID anything about a broken coil spring until I was about to leave and take my vehicle out of there! They had the vehicle for 2 days and only as I said I was coming to pick up my vehicle my coil spring was broken. They didn't say a word until I was leaving! Shady !
They failed my vehicle then told me I should just put farm tags on it and just park it because its old!
Its now at a local garage getting fixed! The rear brakes are just a little below 4mm. The local shop is replacing both rear shocks and coil springs, ( note: the shocks and coil spring is not broken, didn't need to be replaced all of it, I decided since I will be hauling and towing this coming year better safe then sorry ) The rear brake pads and rotors are being replaced since its up in the air at no extra labor cost! A 4x4 wheel switch is getting installed. No tie rod or pitman arm. The shop grasped the each tire and said not enough movement. Can they say crow bar?
Its not about just money its about Honesty and getting the vehicle fixed right the time!
See the State of Virginia Motor Vehicle Manual for more details on brakes/suspension failing inspection.
