Service department has had my Jeep for 2 months. Three different times I have had to bring it in…read morefor issues that they don't seem able to fix.

Let me begin by saying I haven't encountered an employee at this location who has ever appeared…read morerude or confrontational. However, I dropped off my 2019 F-150 over 5 weeks ago (6/4) to have apparent sudden transmission issues diagnosed. I had no idea what kind of timeline to expect as far as a turnaround diagnosis, but I was happily informed upon dropoff that I could expect a call back in a couple days because it was as simple as a road test and computer plug in that would let me know what was going on in detail. Fast forward to the end of the following week, still no answer so I called back myself. I was then told no one had looked at my truck yet but it would certainly be in the shop that afternoon and I'd get a call no problem. As you can imagine I didn't hear a thing from them, so I waited another full week to call back when I was told the SAME excuse. When I asked to speak with the service manager they supposedly noted down my information and said he'd call to go over my concerns. After several more days had passed with no update over the phone, I drove to the physical service desk and asked to speak with my service advisor who then informed me my truck had just come off the lift and needed a brand new transmission. While I had feared this all along, I was prepared and agreed to have Ford perform the service the very next morning after researching local options and Ford offering a, what I consider to be small, discount on the job. I was then told the new transmission would arrive over the weekend and be installed Monday or Tuesday of the following week (7/6-7) As I'm typing this review it is Friday afternoon (7/10) of "the following week" and my truck once again hasn't moved since I agreed to have the work performed. While I can fully understand how busy such a dealership can remain all year long, I'm more angered by the fact that the service advisors do everything they can to "beat around the bush" and give vague answers/dates to any questions a customer asks. Any other mechanic I have ever used will provide a clear timeline or at the very least make sure they call to keep their paying customer informed of any changes it truly has been my experience here that you have to show up in person to find out any information and have work started or otherwise you will fall through the cracks and be put behind a growing line of vehicles. Not to mention you must wait on hold a minimum of 10-20 minutes before ever getting through to service in the first place. If I would have simply been informed that the diagnosis and repair work would have taken this long, I could have made the decision to either be without my vehicle and understood the needed repairs, or taken my business elsewhere and for less of a cost and a quicker resolution. I've been cast to the wayside far too many times falsely expecting updates when nothing was ever really planned that soon and that is no way to treat someone. I love Ford vehicles and have only ever driven a Ford truck for work or personal use, but this experience combined with the continuous failure of modern parts and higher service costs makes me seriously reconsider any future purchases altogether. To anyone who takes the time to read this review please consider all your options and make sure you're ready to be without a vehicle for a substantial amount of time at this location. Also as far as covered warranty work is concerned, the exact same scenario can be expected. When I had to have a new engine installed in the 2024 F-250 after the original catastrophically failed at only 12k miles, I experienced the same runaround and false statements (minus the extremely pricy repair bill I now have in front of me) before driving to the location and demanding answers. I received that vehicle back after over 2 months had passed since drop off with a tow truck. New engines and transmissions aren't a walk in the park, but don't mislead your customers and provide false hope of an early turnaround only after they force you to give an update. Laying out the facts early on would avoid half of my frustrations.

Typical dealer tactics, shows one set of numbers online to lure you in, then the figures change on…read moreyou once you're sitting at the desk. The down payment didn't though (which is a good and bad thing) so that's a plus. I know the "numbers online" is a preapproval, but I called over 5 times to ask the same question "would the numbers change once I got down there because I'd need to know now so that I don't waste time" and each time I was assured that whatever I was sent in text would stay the same in store as long as my supporting documents matched (which they did). Overall it's a decent lot as far as their vehicle selection goes, just make sure to take the preapproval with a grain of salt and THOROUGHLY LOOK OVER YOUR VEHICLE BEFORE DRIVING OFF. Update 1/27/26 **Car dumped oil and the lot first off made it difficult to get my car down to them for service. Once they received it, I waited for over a month for my car and got it back in even worse condition. I called back to see what they'd be willing to do about it but my option was for me to get it towed at my expense as well as be without my car (that I was paying on mind you) for another extended period of time without a loaner/rental. After multiple calls (and arguments which is odd because I'm very passive) they agreed to take the car back with no balance due but ONLY IF it was marked as a repossession and not a breach of their own service contract. 0/10, wouldn't recommend buying from carmart EVEN WITH A SERVICE CONTRACT!!

Worst place to get a car from. I got my first car from them and as soon as I got it paid off it…read moreblew ... Then my second car I got I only had it for 3 months and the cam shaft position sensors went out which cost 200$$ plus paying 420$ bucks a month. Whatever you do....do not get a car from this place....
