Ames Ford Lincoln

Absolute xxxxx! !! I have an old Mercury Montego 2005 and I had a transmission flush here in year 2020 and was charged $250. Then 3 months later I was getting an oil !! I have an old Mercury Montego 2005 and I had a transmission flush here in year 2020 and was charged $250. Then 3 months later I was getting an oil change at LOF Xpress and they said the transmission fluid needs to be changed because there was something wrong with the fluid color. So basically the transmission flush wasn't done right. Then this year, 2022, just a few months ago I did another transmission flush from Ames Ford and they charged me $450. While all other car shops in Ames has transmission flush available for about $250!!! They were trying to xx me that oil prices went up or something. Well, I guess prices went up at Ames Ford only! I don't know whats really going on here! Also, at the same time, I had an AWD issue and they just xx me that they can't fix it and so they just wanted me to get out of there. I said I can pay whatever, but they just didn't wanted to do it. DO NOT go to this place, they will just take your money and you don't even know what they will do to your car inside their shop. Just find some honest mechanic in town and get the job done! More

Not willing to negotiate on anything. Expects the customer to budge on their standards. Will give the lowest value possible on trade-ins. Expects the customer to budge on their standards. Will give the lowest value possible on trade-ins. More

No Sale Long review but worth the read. Ames Ford is NOT an honorable dealership. I have been working for months talking to Faisal indicating I want to be fir Long review but worth the read. Ames Ford is NOT an honorable dealership. I have been working for months talking to Faisal indicating I want to be first in line to buy the new GT500 when it comes out. We had worked out a deal and shook hands at MSRP. Faisal calls me 1 hour before me driving to the dealership and signing the contract to tell me Nick (Sales Manager) can no longer sell it at MSRP because he is getting a bidding war from other dealers out of State. He said if I still want it, he will now sell it to me at $18k over MSRP. I asked him about our deal at MSRP and he said they can no longer honor it. Faisal has told me numerous times that Ames Ford does not play the over MSRP markup game because they would rather sell the car and get it on the road to someone local. Turns out they are greedy and do play that game. Ford does not allow any dealer to sell over MSRP as an “After Dealer Markup”, but they can get away with it by calling it a “Market Adjustment”. It’s the same thing, it is a loop hole in the system. Ford has been notified of their non-honorable actions towards Ford themselves and me. Can’t trust Ames Ford by their word or a handshake. I have left an online review for them before, but Nick threatened my car club which has nothing to do with them by pulling their sponsorship with them if I didn’t remove my comments. As of now our car club has severed ties with them. We do not want to associate with an organization that has no honor and makes threat to our car club over an individual matter. Ames Ford has no honor and breaks deals. You shouldn’t trust them either. My honest review is now being put back up. More
