I have tried to do business with Ken Garff American Fork several times, and whether it's sales or service, the experience has been bad. Very bad. I can't recommend going ANYWHERE else enough.

Very respectful of my time. Service was completed very well under the allotted time. They tried to upsell some other services but were not forceful and they respected my choices Service was completed very well under the allotted time.

I scheduled an 8;45 am pick up, they came 20 minutes early and I wasn’t home yet. So I had to rush home. When they received my truck, the technician called and said he had the truck and would keep me po early and I wasn’t home yet. So I had to rush home. When they received my truck, the technician called and said he had the truck and would keep me posted. That was the last I ever heard from him. I was told that the service would take a half to a full day to complete. So I expected it back the same day. Nobody ever called. I called 5 times late afternoon with no answer and no retun call. The next morning I had an appointment at another shop to put new shells on the truck. I missed that appointment. I finally got Karen to answer my call that morning and she went to talk to the tech and then called me back. She called back and said that he couldn’t find the blown speaker that I was complaining about. I told them that it was the rear passenger speaker. She told me the tech can’t find the problem but if I hear it again, put a piece of tape on the blown speaker and bring it back in. They then released my vehicle to me. I came to pick it up myself to get it to the other appointment. I could hear the distorted, blown speaker as I drove off the lot. Terrible communication, terrible service, nothing fixed on my truck.

The good news is that I am very happy with the used 2020 Mustang GT350 I purchased from this dealership the end of April, 2023. I love the car. The BAD NEWS ABOUT THIS DEALERSHIP is what has happened si Mustang GT350 I purchased from this dealership the end of April, 2023. I love the car. The BAD NEWS ABOUT THIS DEALERSHIP is what has happened since I purchased the car and paid Garff to have it shipped from Utah to my home in Tennessee. Over the past two months, I have made over 20 attempts to contact the pertinent people at the dealership by phone, text message and email regarding outstanding promises made to me at the time of sale that I relied on in good faith to make my decision to purchase the car. As of this writing I have had ZERO RESPONSE regarding the biggest promise I relied on to buy the car from Garff. I am now fed up and feel the only course left for me is to warn other people of my experience with Garff Ford. I'll let people decide for themselves if they would rather avoid the grief and utter disappointment that I have experienced. The following is my email sent on July 7, 2023 to Sales Manager, Anthony Almanza and General Manager, Winston Bennion. As of this writing I have had no response from either person. "I am frustrated and extremely disappointed with the lack of response from you regarding my attempts to speak with you over the past month. I have left you countless messages via your staff and numerous voice mails. When I purchased the car Kevin Heath told me that: 1. The OEM GT350 car cover was in the trunk of the car. 2. The GT350 owner’s kit was in the trunk. 3. The jack and jack handle was in the trunk 4. A new set of tires was on the car. (Garff finally sent me a “Mustang” cover. I’m happy to have it but it is NOT the car cover I was promised.) Three weeks ago, I tracked down and spoke with the original owner of the car and he said all of the above items were in the trunk when he traded it in to iDriveUtah. I spoke with Austin at iDriveUtah.com who said when they sold the car to Garff all of the items were in the trunk. I was told MULTIPLE times by Preston, Maya and Kevin that the items were in the trunk and this was one of the important details that I took into consideration to make my decision to purchase the car. It appears that Preston, May and/or Kevin never took the minimal amount of time it would have taken to verify the items were in the trunk. I’m very disappointed especially regarding the owner’s kit, as it is unique to the car chassis number and is irreplaceable.. When I asked Keven about the condition of the tires prior to signing a deal on the car, he said, “we wanted to make sure the car was right so we slapped a new set of tires on it.” When I received the car in Tennessee (which is a whole other story) I noticed the tires were worn and definitely not new. I called Kevin and told him about the tires. He seemed shocked and upset when I questioned him about the tires and said, “I said I put new tires on the car?” He then claimed he never told me anything about new tires. When I reiterated this to you a month ago, Anthony, you said you would review the recordings that you make of all Garff’s phone calls. I’m assuming that the reason you have been avoiding me is you discovered the truth about Kevin's claim, you haven't reviewed the calls, or you’re hoping I’ll just go away and you’ll go on to your next car sale. I planned to pay cash for the car but Kevin said he could offer me a slightly lower price if I would do a “gentleman’s agreement” and pay the first several payments on a loan and THEN pay it off. I assumed that he and/or Garff would receive a commission on the loan. I kept my end of the gentleman’s agreement. I expect you and Garff to do the same. I want the new tires I was promised. I realize that the OEM car cover and owner’s kit may be a moot point. I can only assume that the thief who took the items needed a couple of bucks." In closing, let me be clear: I love the car. But I abhor being lied to. And that is what I feel happened to me at Garff. Sincerely, Jeff Chase More
I went to this dealership because of my extended warranty. We waited 5 mos for parts and service was scheduled. They had my vehicle for a week to do the work with 0 updates. I called daily to see w warranty. We waited 5 mos for parts and service was scheduled. They had my vehicle for a week to do the work with 0 updates. I called daily to see where we were at on getting work done. After work was completed I still haven’t received final paperwork. Overall I think they want to do good but customer service is near non existent except for Karen. More
This dealership is soooo bad - especially when you consider how vocal they are about wanting to be a "5-Star" dealership! I've had them work on my F350 several times and every time it is a joke. The f consider how vocal they are about wanting to be a "5-Star" dealership! I've had them work on my F350 several times and every time it is a joke. The first time I went there I stood at the service desk for almost 5 minutes watching two employees talk to each other at one end of the desk and two others busy typing away at their work stations, too busy to notice me or to greet me. Something similar has happened two other times. If "Karen the Great" is working at the service desk, you will get an immediate friendly greeting. She is the reason I gave a 2-star rating rather than a 1-star. She is great, but the service area falls apart without her leadership. On the next service call, they replaced a part that I had recently had another service provider replace. I told the person who did the vehicle intake that I had recently replaced the throttle body, but she forgot to tell the technician! When I asked to get the bad part back so that I could get the other provider to refund my money, Ken Garff told me that they technician had thrown the part away! (That's illegal.) To their credit, kind of, they did (not cheerfully) refund the cost of the part and installation after a couple of challenging calls with Tiffany who finally said, "I don't want to argue with you about it," at the end of our argument. By the way, their cost to install the throttle body was 3X the cost I paid at the other service provider! The tout themselves as being really good at technology, but they use their communications tools so ineffectively. The tech will walk around the outside of the vehicle while videoing but will be describing something under the hood! Their showroom is not put together very well. Take a look at the pile of junk they have in the NE corner where they have tires displayed. Their drink station is always out of stuff or the hot chocolate machine is broken. They said they had called an Uber for me, but then after waiting for 20 minutes and asking them what's up, they told me that they had forgotten to call the Uber! Savannah was helping me on one service call through text and she disappeared for over a week! Finally, she responds to my text asking what happened, and she responded, "I thought you were out of town!" Really? And that would stop you from texting me? That's why we have the technology so we can communicate without being face to face! it is a mad house when you drop your vehicle off in the mornings. Nobody there to direct traffic and people parking all over the place. Very little signage to tell you what to do. One time I took the truck in for a code I was getting and they told me that they were going to need to replace a part in the steering column and that it would cost $4000. I told them they were out of their minds. That was over two years ago and I haven't had a problem with it since. Another time they told me that it was going to be $4000 to replace the cracked plastic runners that the sun roof tracks on! Really? The last (and final) time that I had my truck serviced there, they brought it to the service bay for me to take and I found that it had mud splashed up all over the tire wells and the side of the truck. I asked the kid what happened and he shrugged. I told him that I need to have them clean it (they have a car wash right there) because it was clean when I brought it to them, and he told me he didn't have time and just ran away! When I talked to Tiffany about that, she said he was wrong to do that, "but we have 1 tech boy, and we should have five!" That shouldn't be the customer's problem. When you call, their IVR system instructions to "Press 1 for Spanish" are provided in English! :-) More
