Poorest customer service I called on Monday morning at 8am to have my car serviced. Told them my car has a terrible rattle and basically can't go over 60. Told them I need a l I called on Monday morning at 8am to have my car serviced. Told them my car has a terrible rattle and basically can't go over 60. Told them I need a loaner at the time of drop off which is part of my warranty agreement. Needles to say it's now Friday of the same week and not only do they still not have a loaner that was promised to me by 3 different people, they don't even have the common courtesy to call me with updates. Stay away and don't fall for the warranty. More
Unhappy Former Customer Helped my daughter buy a Ford Focus here 5 years ago (her 1st car) and it was a pleasurable experience. How times have changed. Went there today to re Helped my daughter buy a Ford Focus here 5 years ago (her 1st car) and it was a pleasurable experience. How times have changed. Went there today to replace her car that was totaled last week fully prepared to make a purchase. It was one of the worst car buying experiences ever (I've been purchasing new cars for 40 years)! Walked in with an xplan PIN number (prearranged pricing) and a list of all rebates we were entitled to. You would think that would make the purchase idiot proof. You'd be wrong. The salesman (sorry don't remember his name) must have started last week. His manager, Matthew wasn't much better and at one point was outright rude. Run don't walk to another dealer. We drove 15 minutes south to Lester Glenn Ford and purchased a 2017 Fusion fully loaded and was very happy with the experience. More
Worst customer experience ever! Tried to re-lease another vehicle but couldn't come to an agreement. Four different people called me after I left the dealership but none of them had Tried to re-lease another vehicle but couldn't come to an agreement. Four different people called me after I left the dealership but none of them had any history of the prior communications and in the end none of them were helpful but did keep asking me the same questions. While returning the lease, I had to deal with the finance manager Johnathon who was the biggest xxxxxx on the planet. He was annoyed as soon as I entered his office and became nasty and arrogant because I was not leasing a new vehicle. They wouldn't let me remove my plates from the car but wouldn't give me any proof of surrender to cancel my insurance. Johnathan told me it was my fault for leaving without the plates - even though I asked two people to let me take them-- and he further stated that this wasn't his "problem" and he couldn't help me. He refused to provide any assistance or a recommendation or any potential solution. He was rude, disrespectful and had the worst customer communication skills I have ever seen. I don't even know how he keeps his job there with such a poor attitude towards his customers. I haven't purchased a new vehicle yet but can say with certainty it will never be at this dealership! I hope you won't either! More
Best Experience EVER!!! I previously leased a car from Freehold Ford and for the next two years was so sorry I did so. So when I went into George Wall Ford I was prepared fo I previously leased a car from Freehold Ford and for the next two years was so sorry I did so. So when I went into George Wall Ford I was prepared for the same miserable experience but boy was I surprised. Izzy was my salesman and was he ever amazing. He listened to me and even suggested that I take the car overnight to see how I like driving it as I was going from an Escape to a Fusion...that was the selling point. The best was Izzy came in on his day off to see how I liked the car and help me purchase it. I told him I would come back when he was here but he wouldn't hear of it. I'm so glad because I love my Fusion. I wish all salespeople were like Izzy. I recommend him to everyone... Thanks again Izzy & George Wall you surpassed all my expectations!!!!! More

Though there were a I recently bought a 2012 used Fusion using the Internet, wanting to avoid thrall-too-frequent hassles when visiting a car dealer. Though there were a couple problems anyway, when I brought them to the attention of the owners they were immediately dealt with. I don't want to create more work for the owners (the Wall brothers), but that's what it took to get an excellent result. More
Dissatisfied consumer This dealership practices very deceitful tactics. False advertising and information on their website, no explanation as to why the numbers on the new This dealership practices very deceitful tactics. False advertising and information on their website, no explanation as to why the numbers on the new vehicle and on my trade-in were changing from day to day. I was asked to bring my car to their dealership for an appraisal under the pretense of getting an increase in the value. When these concerns were brought to the attention of personnel, they denied all of this. Very dishonest. Steer clear of this dealership!!! More
Friendly, efficient, and worthwhile I mostly spoke to Mr. Palermo, who was great, and everyone else in the dealership was friendly and willing to help in any way they could as well. The I mostly spoke to Mr. Palermo, who was great, and everyone else in the dealership was friendly and willing to help in any way they could as well. There was a great selection to test-drive, and the prices offered were very reasonable. To top it all, when it turned out the car I was looking for wasn't available in my color, Mr. Palermo drove to Boston to pick it up from another dealership and then drove it to my door free of charge. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone interested in Ford or Lincoln in the nearby area. Or even if you're not - it was a two-hour drive for me, but if you want good prices and good service, it's worth it! More

I checked out and test drive the Lincoln MKX (really nice car-btw). The environment was very clean and freindly and the refreshment center for customers is well stocked. I didn't end up buying, but I was very satisfied with the way I was treated. Thank you Mike L. More
It's how special you are treated AFTER the sale I write reviews for a living so I wanted to take a very unique approach to what I wrote about my experiences with George Wall Ford Lincoln in Shrewsbu I write reviews for a living so I wanted to take a very unique approach to what I wrote about my experiences with George Wall Ford Lincoln in Shrewsbury. Everyone at George Wall urged me to write a positive review. Most people, just taking possession of their vehicle would do exactly that. However, I decided to wait. I wanted to see what happens weeks after a person leaves the dealership. Would I feel as "special" long after the sale was over as I did the day I walked into the dealership? Unfortunately, I can't say I do feel "special" anymore. I will talk more about this in a few moments. Let me begin by saying that I have been a long-time leaser of Cadillac vehicles. Over the course of a decade I leased several Cadillac models. I like their brand. However, after a decade, I felt the brand was no longer re-inventing themselves. Meanwhile, Lincoln made a huge splash with the introduction of the 2016 MKX. Here was a real game-changer in the line of mid-sized luxury crossovers. I was intrigued by the smooth, quiet ride and the 19-speaker Rebel system. I did a lot of Internet research before even stepping into George Wall in Shrewsbury. I talked to someone who had just bought a 2016 MKX from Irwin Lincoln in Freehold. That person urged me to go see them first as they were a "family" operation who had treated him like family. He told me there was no haggling and that he felt he got a very fair and sound price for his vehicle. My choice to go with George Wall was solely based on the fact that they were less than a mile from my home. My salesman at George Wall was Bob Maloney. I really liked Bob and felt that he was a very knowledgeable and competent salesperson. I would recommend him highly. However, I didn't care for the haggling process. Of course, like any dealer, my price started very high. It took quite awhile to come down to a price that I felt was fair. However, once I got home I found out that the lease calculator on Lincoln's website showed an even better price. The explanation I was given seemed rather implausible given what I was pricing. I really have to give the most praise to Sales Manager Matt Small who went above and beyond the call of duty to secure me a 2016 MKX when there were none to be had. It was mid-Summer and the 2016 MKX vehicles were only beginning to make it to dealerships. The vehicle I had ordered would take at least 10 weeks to arrive. I was close to going with another Luxury brand because of the wait. There was an out-of-state dealer who had a MKX with comparable specs. The dealer was being unresponsive to requests to make a swap. Matt Small did a remarkable job of doing the impossible and securing me a vehicle despite the obstacles. For that, I should give George Wall Lincoln 5 stars. However, I was disappointed with a few things that happened after the sale was over. To begin with, the MKX, in general, is missing a huge feature. It does not have a digital speedometer in the instrument cluster. By all rights, it should be there. The owners manual states it should be there. I went back-and-forth with the Internet Sales Manager, asking him to help me get in touch with the right people to help me bring this issue to light. The best the sales manager could do was tell me to deal with Lincoln's online support. I found that response to be disheartening. I had already gone that route. Meanwhile, I just found out, by reading a Lincoln Internet Discussion group, that one owner's sales manager called Dearborn Michigan directly to bring his customer's concerns to the powers that be. Why couldn't someone in that position at George Wall Ford Lincoln not go the extra mile for me when I asked for his help? That same individual saw me the following day, sitting in the service area of his dealership. This sales manager, who I just leased a $60k vehicle from said "hello" to me as if I was an afterthought. I no longer felt "special." The magic was over. Also, vehicle prep was sloppy. Lots of outer vehicle transport stickers never removed. I was peeling off stickers for days afterwards. More
