[BEFORE YOU CONSIDER GOING HERE LOOK AT THE HUGE NUMBER OF TERRIBLE 1 STAR REVIEWS!!! This place is a nightmare! I suspect any good reviews are faked by the dealership.]
GO ANYWHERE BUT HERE!!! Worst service I have ever seen! Rude and dangerously incompetent! COULD NOT DO A SIMPLE SERVICE AFTER 2 WEEKS OF WAIT TIME AND 4 FAILED VISITS, YET AFTER Simi Valley Ford's FAILURE, A DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIP DID THE SERVICE FOR US WITHIN 1 HOUR ON ONE VISIT!
We brought in our Ford for a simple service, to get a keyless entry remote added. We ended up having to visit the dealership four times, each time the service person would tell us it would be no problem to add the keyless entry remote to the car, then keep the car for several days without any contact with us, and then eventually call us to tell us that this particular model of Ford could not have a keyless entry, and for us to retrieve our car without the service completed. Then someone would call us back and say they had made a mistake, they COULD do the keyless entry, and to bring the car back in. This cycle kept repeating. For four visits! FOUR VISITS!!!!!!!!!! On the third visit we encountered particularly inept service... when we were told the "keyless entry was completed" and we showed up to get the finished car - But they had simply duplicated a non-remote regular car key that was not a keyless entry, and had not added keyless entry to the car at all. Even though they did entirely the wrong service for the car, they still tried to charge us $100 for the spare key they made that we never wanted. We only discovered the error when, after the service person said "here, your car is all ready to go" and handed us the keys, we looked down at the supposedly 'keyless-entry-remote key' they had made for us and said "hey, where is the keyless entry remote," to which they replied "oh, I don't know, that should be it. Let us look into it." Finally on the fourth visit we were told to come on in and pick up our car, and only after arriving to sign off on the bill and waiting in the lobby for a very long time were we informed yet again that they weren't able to do the keyless entry remote. For some reason they had us pay for the service in advance on our credit card, so after this fourth attempt we decided we were done and demanded our money back. That's when they really started getting rude. They made us wait another 3 hours to sign a credit card statement so that we could have our money refunded for the work that they never did. Then, after all of that, they demanded they get the unwanted duplicate key they made for us back from us, or they would charge our credit card $100. Not one person apologized to us, at all, ever! We kept asking the service person why they would keep calling us up and telling us to bring the car back in if they couldn't fix it, over and over again, and with every question we asked him he just looked at us, shrugged his shoulders, and walked away. Honestly, he made the whole dealership look very foolish by doing this. They talked to us like we were just wasting their time, and they were completely unsympathetic to the hell they put us through. The manager we spoke to was flat out rude, giving us short terse answers, as if to tell us she didn't know why she had to bother dealing with us at all. Not only were the staff and managers total jerks to us, but they are completely incompetent. Dangerously incompetent. You could not pay me to take a car here. After this we took the car to a different Ford dealership, and they were able to set up the keyless entry and give us the remote within one hour! One hour!
