Great customer service I have been going here for 10 years. The staff has been pretty much the same people. Very little turnover which says a lot. I usually work with Scott I have been going here for 10 years. The staff has been pretty much the same people. Very little turnover which says a lot. I usually work with Scott but everyone else there is nice as well. They may not always know exactly what is wrong with my car or have an answer that I like but they are always respectful. They always take time to explain what is going on and what we need to do or not do. More
Terrible service Bought a brand new car and the battery died after 1 year, they replaced it because it was under warranty however the new battery died again after 18 m Bought a brand new car and the battery died after 1 year, they replaced it because it was under warranty however the new battery died again after 18 months but my mileage was 600 miles over the warranty so they charged me to put a new battery. I don't understand does their batteries have their own warranty. They said no they don't. So why does ford put such a terrible brand of batteries on their cars? I will never buy from long Lewis ford.

Watch out for this place, greedy. I bough a truck from Long Lewis in Muscle Shoals. They messed up something in the paperwork and when I went to register it I was told I had to pay ove I bough a truck from Long Lewis in Muscle Shoals. They messed up something in the paperwork and when I went to register it I was told I had to pay over $450 out of my pocket. I called the dealer and they admitted they made a mistake but that I would have to pay it. I don't know about you, but when I make mistakes I have to pay for them. They didn't charge enough sales tax for MS, funny, they are only about 10 miles from the border so they must sell to MS people all the time, AND they have a dealership in MS! I am very disappointed that a place that sells "over 400 cars a month" wouldn't pay for THEIR mistake to keep a customer happy. If you buy from them just know that if THEY make a mistake, YOU will have to pay for it. I won't buy from them again and will not recommend them to my friends. More
New ignition switch My first time using long -lewis for a Ford repair. Everything was exactly as they said, took me in right on my apt time and had me out in about 1.5 hr My first time using long -lewis for a Ford repair. Everything was exactly as they said, took me in right on my apt time and had me out in about 1.5 hrs. Price came with a few a few dollars of estimate. Tim Hobbs made my intial apt and estimate and Scott Bowlin checked me in. Both very friendly. Mr Bowlin even came to lounge while I was waiting to tell me that the tech was close to finishing. Now I have own Ford trucks for over 25 years and have service done at various dealerships in different states where I have lived. This is the first where I been where they were not rude, acted like you where a idiot or spoke in a condescending tone of tried to overcharge. I even took note of the interaction between Mr. Bowlin and other customers in the lounge. He was very professional and came in to give updates if the techs where trying to diagnose an unknown problem. I personally had a pleasant experience and will return if needed More
BE CAREFUL!!! I called Tuesday to see if they would be able to look at my car because it stalled on me after I just had a new batty put in 3 days prior. I had the n I called Tuesday to see if they would be able to look at my car because it stalled on me after I just had a new batty put in 3 days prior. I had the new battery checked as well as the alternator at Sears (they installed the new battery) and both were fine. I dropped my car off right around 5:30 Tuesday evening after work and handed my key to one of their representatives. They called me between 9-10 Wednesday morning letting me know that It was my MAF sensor that had gone bad. I gave my approval for them to replace that part. I picked my car up right at 5:57 pm (according to my iPhone) when they were closing and everyone was rushing around to get out. I understand that they close at 6 pm, but where I grew up and had worked a job very similar to this, just because you close at a certain time does not mean that you get out right then. I wasn't impressed with the fact that they charged me for 1.5 hours of work $150 for something that takes not even 30 mins to do. When I asked about this, I was told that it is $99 per hour and that they go by a chart for pricing and that it was after 6. I called the dealership that I bought my car from today (Thursday) and they said that the chart he mentioned was a recommendation, and that they are not required to charge you based on that rate, but only by how long it actually took. On top of that, and noticing that there were smudge marks of oil/debris on the headliner and around the drivers power window button, there were 'mysteriously' over 100 miles put on my car and over 1/4 of a tank of gas missing. That was my main concern when calling and speaking with the service manager, Richard Bowlin. I was beyond livid after the conversation and his repeatedly saying that his technicians would not do that and that he knows they would not do such a thing. After about 10 minutes of beating a dead horse, I left it as me contacting a lawyer and getting a subpeona to review their camera footage. After that I called the general manager, Terry Poole, and got a call back from him about 30 mins ago. I told him about my experience and he listened to everything I had to say. He seemed genuinely sincere and wanted to know how to fix the issue. I told him that I didn't want to doubt the ethics and morality of his employees, but based on what I know to be fact someone, somehow, put over 100 miles on my car and the use of 1/4 of a tank of gas coincides with that many miles on my car. Also, I don't understand why the window would be rolled down and so much grime be smudged on my headliner where, coincidentally is where someones hand would naturally go with your arm bent, elbow resting on the door and your thumb on the headliner and fingers on the outside of the car. All in all, based on what Terry Poole said, I would get a copy of the 'write up' before you leave with your initials on the mileage. Also, have them write about how much gas is in your car and initial that as well. MAKE SURE TO GET A XEROX COPY OF IT!!! More
Find another service department to take your car to These guys will charge you to take a look at your vehicle even if it is under an extended warranty and even if it is having an issue that Ford themsel These guys will charge you to take a look at your vehicle even if it is under an extended warranty and even if it is having an issue that Ford themselves have acknowledged. Our Fiesta is having a transmission issue. We even recieved a letter from Ford stating the fact that they have extended the powertrain warranty to cover the transmission issue. When we took it in we were told we would have to pay a diagnostic fee just to find out if the problem was bad enough to be repaired! Even with an extended FORD warranty and an extended powertrain warranty, they still wanted me to pay a $99 fee just to check it out. Find another Ford dealership that cares about their customers.

Long Lewis Ford's non-negotiable price quote beat all other dealers by over $1000. They negotiate your trade-in separately from the purchase of a new car so you know exactly what the trade is going to co other dealers by over $1000. They negotiate your trade-in separately from the purchase of a new car so you know exactly what the trade is going to cost with no haggling involved. The personnel are always friendly and my salesman even provided me his private cell number to call when he was not scheduled to work. The best part is that they do not use high pressure sales methods, but simply offer their assistance at your convenience. More
We had a problem with our 2004 Ford Focus that turned out to be a common issue with that model - the key gets stuck in the ignition switch. After doing our research, we were expecting to pay upwards of $500 to be a common issue with that model - the key gets stuck in the ignition switch. After doing our research, we were expecting to pay upwards of $500 to get this fixed. We brought the car to the service department of Long Lewis, wanting to have this important work done at a dealer even if it cost a bit more. To our delight, the estimate came back quickly and was less than $300. This repair was done more than 2 years ago, and we have had no further problems. I'm writing this review after reading the only other review of the dealership. I had a very pleasant experience, and walked away feeling like we'd been treated fairly and with respect. I am not affiliated with the dealership in any way. We are considering buying a Fusion hybrid from them. I'll add another review after our experience with the sales team. More
