AutoNation Ford Katy

2008 Ford F350 King Ranch - Exterior/Interior "Detail" I called AutoNation Ford Katy to schedule a complete DETAIL job on my Ford F350 Super Duty King Ranch truck. I discussed other Detail Shops in the Ka I called AutoNation Ford Katy to schedule a complete DETAIL job on my Ford F350 Super Duty King Ranch truck. I discussed other Detail Shops in the Katy/Houston area with the service advisor, but I trusted AutoNation Katy to do a better job on my truck, especially the King Ranch leather seats and the fact that their detail shop is very familiar with Fords. They did charge less than the other detail shops, but when I went to pick up my truck I realized why! All I got for $113.00 was a glorified wash job! My truck looked horrible! Absolutely nothing was done to the Pueblo Gold trim on the wheelwells, the bumper, the side mirrors and the running boards. The leather seats and leather trim had been wiped off, but no conditioner had been applied. They didn't even spray any air freshener inside the truck. There was still sand and dirt on the chrome exhaust pipes, mud spots on the paint and dirty window casings on both sides and the rear sliding window. There were even bird droppings all over the truck from where they parked it under a tree! I took 24 pictures of the interior and exterior of my truck, so it would be documented. I have purchased two vehicles from them in the past, but no more! I will NEVER go back to this dealership for anything! Two of my grandsons and I spent over 4 hours on my truck AFTER I got it home doing what they were paid to do, but didn't! More

Mixed Results. Could be better, could be worse. The price of the F150 I purchased was very good. The vehicle was as described except for some dealer add-ons that weren't shown anyplace on the websit The price of the F150 I purchased was very good. The vehicle was as described except for some dealer add-ons that weren't shown anyplace on the website or sticker. The car was totally ready to go at the time we set for pickup. The pickup process and the explaining of the features was quick and painless. The staff was polite and prompt. I greatly appreciated all these things. BUT, it took a lot of work to merely pay the advertised price of the vehicle. The experience was full of the worst things car dealers routinely do... you're told a price and it changes. Constantly. At first you 'qualify' for everything and then that rebate you were going to get disappears (even after asking explicitly if a certain rebate would apply at the very start and being told yes). You agree on a price (yes, you can negotiate) and then there are add-ons to the price of the vehicle (tint insurance? Haha.). Dealer add-ons should appear on the website, IMHO so they aren't a surprise. Negotiate those out of the price of the car. The total price of the car should actually be a TOTAL. You are told there are no other fees for the vehicle except for tag, title, tax. Then more fees magically appear on the purchase order. Our purchase order had to be corrected maybe 4-5 times and somehow the 'errors' were never in our favor. Imagine that. If the sales rep tells you there is not a dealer documentation fee (or that he doesn't know if there is one)- he is lying, so negotiate your price accordingly. I recommend doing everything via phone and email. This will allow you to skip the hard sell on warranties and other junk you don't want or need . Test drive the same type car elsewhere. Then work on price, and secure your financing at your own bank or credit union. Bring a check, pick up the car, ask your questions and go. If you do that, it's an ok experience. If you're willing to eat a few hundred bucks of dealer fees and another almost 1K in add ons, then you can go the no-haggle route. I can't comment on that because I didn't go that route. I suspect it would have been a fine process. More

Employees are Somehow Not Their Responsibility We had an employee drop off a company vehicle to be serviced. Spent $700 on a 16k mile vehicle somehow. Had issues with vehicle warning lights. Took i We had an employee drop off a company vehicle to be serviced. Spent $700 on a 16k mile vehicle somehow. Had issues with vehicle warning lights. Took it back to a novice of a Service Advisor that had no clue what the light even meant or where the problem could be located. Picked up the vehicle and AirPods and a portable battery pack were stolen. Roughly $230 worth of merchandise. Service Advisor continued to say things would be made right. Only to receive word after 3-4 weeks that we would not be reimbursed “CITING LACK OF PREVIOUS ISSUES IN THIS REGARD, AND POLICY STATING WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ITEMS LEFT IN VEHCILES.” We are the rare case that something was stolen while the vehicle was in your possession? Hard to believe. Not responsible for items left in vehicles? So I take it you don’t care if your employees steal from paying customers? It’s just easiest to say we are not responsible? Poor management and customer service. More

Ford Focus purchased new and sucks Don't ever purchase a FORD in your life. My 2014 Ford Focus was purchased new from Autonation Ford Katy. The transmission clutch has been replaced 3 t Don't ever purchase a FORD in your life. My 2014 Ford Focus was purchased new from Autonation Ford Katy. The transmission clutch has been replaced 3 times. Now at only 68,000 miles the blend door actuator was replaced with a $100 deductible warranty payment. The day after I picked up the car the original thumping noise in the dash started up again. Ford is going downhill big time. I am going to get rid of the xxx Ford and never buy Ford again. Oh and one more thing. Last time I had an oil change they said my battery was leaking and the terminals needed to be replaced. Well that was a complete lie. I contacted NTB where I purchased the battery and had a warranty. The battery was NOT leaking it had a weak charge from the terminal corrosion. All they could do is clean up the terminals and connection because you cannot replace those types of terminals. You have to replace the main harness which is a bigger job. So Autonation Ford service donkeys were lying and trying to bilk me for $175 plus tax. Way to look out for your customers. What a joke of a car manufacturer, dealership and service center. No wonder their bond status was downgraded to JUNK bond as of August 2018. Good luck with your 12 Billion dollar restructuring - I think bankruptcy will be the next real option. More

Bu Brought in our 2011 Ford Fusion for some recalls..... as usual the had no parts to fix the recalls... give us a month or so we will have the parts. But you really need a battery it’s caroded and old... my Wife .... really we just replaced it 3 weeks ago... service writer... ummm it’s the cables they are really bad ! Hmm I think we sanded and cleaned them completely before install of the battery !!! Actually I did.. there was no battery issue !!!!!! You need a fuel filter and your injectors cleaned .... really there has been no performance issues with the car, how do you know that ????? Could you tell by just looking at the car sitting in the service wriihting area, because no one ever drove the car. By the way the car is driven about 15 mikes a week..... Folks this service is like most of the Autonation dealership service departments chock full of deceptive lying service writers that are looking for add on’s to pad there commission checks. Guys BEWARE do not send your daughters or wife’s to this dealerxxxx because they will Vulture them and put there ripoff game in full play !!!!!!! I am going to contact Ford the BBB and the attorney general and several TV stations on their practices..... we will see if they are smileing all the way to the bank after that !!!!!!!!!!!!! More
