Extreme Frustration We have had the WORST possible experience at this car dealer.

The details are overwhelming, but the bottom line is that they have had my vehicle for over 2 months now waiting for warranty approval and no one even has the decency to return my calls. When we bought the car, O'Meara sold us a used car Warranty that cost us $2980 and now we have been told by the Warranty Company, not O'Meara, that the damages are not covered??? The service manager, Mark has been no help at all, the sales department won't help us now because they got their money and laughed all the way to the bank and we are left with a car with a blown engine and a $1000 bill to pick it up without it even getting fixed. (That's another several thousand). The car is not even worth $5000 but no one at O'Meara even cares. I retired after 45 years of a career being a mechanic for a nationwide company, and for them to tell me that I didn't maintain the car properly is a personal affront and insult to my education and life's work. I would love the opportunity to speak to an owner of the company, but even the receptionist won't call me back! More
Turned away customer They claim to be #1 in customer service. Unfortunately for me, I arrived at 4:40pm, 20 minutes before they close, and the man said he I need to come They claim to be #1 in customer service. Unfortunately for me, I arrived at 4:40pm, 20 minutes before they close, and the man said he I need to comeback on Monday, today is Friday, to get an estimate. Why are their doors open if they are not going to provide service? I find this to be as anti-business as it gets. I am sure Mr. O'Meara, the founder, would be ashamed of this behavior. Why should I make a second trip when they were open for business and turned a me away. Must be corporate bureaucracy. Sure not the mom and pop shop attitude of the customer comes first, not we close in 20 minutes go away your not important to us. We are big enough! More
Rude and wrong If I could give a them 0 stars, I would.

My husband, who recently had heart surgery, drop of our truck to service to be greeted by George who was beyond rude. I was appalled. We took it in for a battery warranty and Earl said it was our alternator. Funny thing is we knew they were probably going to say that. We have dealt with them before with misdiagnosis. We had just replaced our alternator within the prior week just to be proactive. But they still insisted it was the alternator with a internal wire that melted on the relay. Love those call recording apps. ??" Took it somewhere else and it actually was a 10.00 plug for the alternator. Hmmm. But I think the thing that makes me the maddest is not them scamming us. It was the way the George treated my husband. My husband is a sweet man and was bothered by this the entire day. Spoke with Tom "in charge of Service" and he said he would talk to them. He said George was one of their seasoned Mechanics and is actually a pretty good guy. I love how the customers always right. We did asked to speak to Ron, Toms superior but apparently he was getting ready for vacation and we shouldn't bother him. SHAME ON YOU GEORGE AND SHAME ON YOU OMEARA SERVICE!! More

poor customer service! Jan 3rd, I went to Omeara, needed 2 rear tires, mount & balance, alignment & oil change, everything was great until Jan 6th, was shopping in Brighton Jan 3rd, I went to Omeara, needed 2 rear tires, mount & balance, alignment & oil change, everything was great until Jan 6th, was shopping in Brighton & came out to find a flat tire, I aired it up & drove about a 1/2 mile to discount tire, they took me in 5 minutes before closing, they performed major surgery on the tire & could not save it, they told me they could put the spare on, but I wasn't comfortable driving home, to work the next morning & then to Omeara, in hopes they would replace the tire, I only had $50.00 to my name & discount sold me a $80.00 tire for $50.00. When I contacted Omeara the next day, I was told since I didn't buy 4 tires, there was nothing they could do for me, I explained to them, I didn't need 4 tires I only needed 2, my family has always taken all our vehicles to Omeara for service & we've also order parts from them, we've been a very loyal ford family, Omeara's response was absolutely ridiculous, said it was not their fault, I must have hit a pothole, even though the tire was only 3 days old, they would not compensate me anything, but a free oil change, this loyal customer will never do business with Omeara again. I explained to them, I'm on a single income & live paycheck to paycheck, pretty sure if they can comp a free oil change, they can comp a tire. Terrible customer service. More
Purchased the car here in 2011 - Salesman was OK. Went to finance, very specific about wanting a 60 month finance. Finance man put in 72 months in small writing, but I caught it. Specifically asked for a to finance, very specific about wanting a 60 month finance. Finance man put in 72 months in small writing, but I caught it. Specifically asked for a Ford warranty - Finance guy sold me a private warranty that is only good at their dealership - didn't catch that. Paid cash instead of finance because the games were getting ridiculous. Second service had a tire rotation - Scratched my wheel during the service, although when confronted, they fixed it. Service advisors seem to all be pushy and have no patience. 50000 miles I came in with several complaints that would be covered under warranty. Advisor wrote quote of $320 and explained that is their diagnosis fee - but would be free IF the problems were found to be covered under warranty. Couldn't show advisor my issue because they took my car to a back lot. Told him I was waiting but car wasn't "diagnosed" for over 4 hours. Fixed issues under warranty, but guess what, chipped my wheel!!! Advisor called me and told me my cabin air filter was horribly dirty "as if it has never been changed" and he highly suggests changing it.. I told him that's funny, I changed it two weeks ago and it's brand new! "Well, uh, maybe my tech wanted me to ask you if you have or not." Came to the quicklane once, parked outside the garage but was told to pull in. Advised of a long wait but an O'Meara truck blocked me in and refused to move so I was stuck.. Will NEVER buy a Ford again. More
My family bought a used Saturn Vue from O'MEARA the beginning of March of this year 2013. We purchased a warranty that would take care of the timing belt among a few other things. The beginning of June beginning of March of this year 2013. We purchased a warranty that would take care of the timing belt among a few other things. The beginning of June 2013 the car stopped running and O'MEARA had us take the vehicle to a Chevrolet dealer because the vehicle is made by GMC. Come to find out one of the serpentine ribs of the belt shredded off and went into the side of the motor and it seized up. (which the warranty that we purchased did not cover) I went to O'MEARA and spoke with a manager there and he stated that there was nothing he could do for me and that there is no warranty even if it were a brand new vehicle that would cover what happened! I could not believe that I had purchased a vehicle from a great dealership and they would not help me. I told that manager that I could have gone anywhere to buy a used vehicle but I chose a respected dealership and to have the vehicle only last a few months was not what I expected! (Oh by the way did I mention my family had previously purchased two brand new Ford F150, the first one in 2007 and the 2nd one in 2011.) I worked with Brian Bearden to have a motor put in the Saturn and worked with me on the amount it would cost to repair. I am writing this review to not only show that there are FANTASTIC people like BRIAN BEARDEN and JUSTIN CHAVEZ that have pride in the company they work for, but to let everyone know that one bad apple does not spoil the bunch! Please know that I will continue business with O'MEARA FORD! More

I heard a strange noise from the suspension. Omeara charged me a 120 dollars to diagnose the problem and then told me I needed 1300 worth of repairs. I took it to another mechanic for a second opinion charged me a 120 dollars to diagnose the problem and then told me I needed 1300 worth of repairs. I took it to another mechanic for a second opinion. H said all I needed was an alignment. I then told him about Omearas recommendation. He showed me the parts that omeara said needed replaced. He explained why they didnt need to be replaced. he even showed me proof that Omeara had never even disassembled the parts they said that needed replaced. Omeara tried to steal 1300 dollars from me for no reason. The new mechanic aligned my car and rotated my tires and the problem has been solved. Later I talked with Brian Beardon, the service manager. He assured me we would get to the bottom of it. he also assured me his mechanics do not get a commission and have no incentive to pad a bill. He also told me he would refund my 120 dollars diagnostic fee. I feel better after talking with Brian but am not sure if I will take my vehicle back to Omear or not. I changed a few 1's to 3's on my ratings because of Mr. Beardon More
