Fair but long I had a destroyed transmission in a 2014 Fusion Titanium. It was covered under warranty, but the process was horrendous. A week to diagnose the proble I had a destroyed transmission in a 2014 Fusion Titanium. It was covered under warranty, but the process was horrendous. A week to diagnose the problem but taking the transmission apart piece by piece. Then waiting on someone from Ford to come take pictures and to decide if they would cover it. Then wait on multiple parts, because can’t just replace the entire sealed transmission, have to replace the broken parts. Then rebuild it, reinstall, then test drive several times. This took 32 days! Yes 1 month and 2 days. Joe Schmo shop has a 1 week turnover. That being said, DePaula did give me a loaner car for the entire time, for that I am grateful. I did receive 1 update in the beginning, then I had to call several times for updates. IDK, I guess I’m expecting to much. I have been a loyal Ford fan since buying my very first car from Orange Ford in 1988. 5 cars/trucks later, I’m still a fan. More
Excellent Service Department Brought my car in for oil change, tire rotation. Lenny was outstanding. Not enough superlatives to describe his customer service skills. Polite, helpf Brought my car in for oil change, tire rotation. Lenny was outstanding. Not enough superlatives to describe his customer service skills. Polite, helpful, informative. I had a gift certificate from SEFCU for financing my car through them. Lenny noticed that my inspection would be due next month and cost could still be covered with the gift certificate. Saved me time and money. He also found the code for me to use on the keypad outside. While going over all that was done, an elderly customer was creating quite a disturbance. Lenny was familiar with this customer and asked if i would excuse him to see if he could calm her down. She lost her glasses and was acting out loudly blaming all the staff when they were actually in her pocketbook. Poor Lenny dealt with her, calmed her down and sent her on her way. He was so polite and calm even though she wasnt. When he returned to me, even though i was more than happy to wait, he apologized several more times. I have dealt with the public for many years so it really was no problem for me to wait. I completely understand. All in all, i was very satisfied with the service and would rate it 6 stars if i could. Fyi purchased 2016 ford escape from you last year and absolutely love it. Rides and handles beautifully. Plenty of room inside. My favorite part is the very large and wide windshield. I have to drive through the city so it makes visability for pedestrians and cyclists easy to see. Great safety feature!

Not terrible, but definitely not good We were definitely hoping for a good experience, and while it started good- it went downhill fast. Our salesmen was very nice, but was new and didn’t We were definitely hoping for a good experience, and while it started good- it went downhill fast. Our salesmen was very nice, but was new and didn’t know all the ins and outs and I think being that he was new he got the run around from senior staff. Even after repeatedly telling them we were not in a hurry to pick up our truck, that we wanted it to be done right, and if that took a couple extra days that was fine, they pushed it on us without it being detailed and we were told we’d be called to set up a time to bring it in and have it detailed the way it should have been done originally. Once we got our truck home we realized the interior lights were not working and upon further investigation we learned the fuse was blown and the bulbs (which were LED and all worked when we test drove the truck two days prior) were all taken out and only 3 replaced and the covers smashed back into place so hard it broke the dome light cover. When we finally went round robin with our salesmen and the shop to get a time that we could get our truck detailed, have it aligned (another thing they rushed through!) and have the tire light sensor fixed, and have the environmental coating sprayed on it was a week later. We dropped our truck off on a Friday night, Monday DePaul calls to schedule the spray job, not knowing the truck was in their lot. It took 2 weeks, we finally get our truck back and now there are mold spots on the ceiling. Also it’s almost been a month that we’ve had our truck and we still do not have the title, registration and we’re still driving with the dealer plates. I think DePaula can be a good dealership, but they’re too big for their birches. The right hand doesn’t seem to know what the left is doing. We got the run around so much that I’m dreading having to bring it back for it’s oil changes and inspections. More

I men Dennis was there immediately to tend to my needs on my Ford Escape. The time was 11 am. Billy was the gentleman that was assigned to my needs. I mentioned that I had an appointment in Hudson at 1 pm. Dennis assured me that my car would be ready for me on time. I appreciate the fact that they met my expectations, plus washed my car! I appreciate their considerate and efficient abilities. Plus...the added free inspection due to the fact that I had purchased my car at DePaula. Thank you to both Dennis and Billy, and the DePaula team for you pleasant and very caring ways. More
