Do not use their service department. The sale of my Maverick was amazing. James was wonderful and my truck has been great since 2022. However, I have taken my truck three times to the More

Kelvin Ruffin is an outstanding sales person, the best at Palmetto Ford in our opinion. He has assisted us in the purchase or leasing of 5 Ford vehicles!! He is always attentive, friendly and helpful to us! More

Palmetto Ford Lincoln responded

Thank you for your review. From our records it looks like you purchased elsewhere. You called in on November 25th and we provided an appointment for you on December 1st for a service - within a week just after the Thanksgiving holiday. Your boyfriend dropped it with our service advisor Allen Oltmann. Your boyfriend signed for the works package that includes oil and filter change, rotation of tires, and check of fluids. We have a signed copy of approval by him. Ford Motor Company recommends that we use a full synthetic oil on all Mavericks. Full synthetic oil is more expensive but is better for the engine life of your new vehicle. We also completed an open recall on your Maverick. We completed all of this work in about an hour - we keep our records on clock time. I've only been in the automotive business for 35 years, but to complete a works package and a recall in an hour is actually pretty darn good - I'll commend Allen the service advisor and our other folks that were involved. Some recalls take much longer to complete if it requires software programming. Additionally, our prices are well within guide of other dealerships in the market especially for full synthetic oil and a Ford Motorcraft oil filter. If you would like to go to the drive thru mickey mouse oil change with mickey mouse oil and filter- please do - I wouldn't recommend it - not for your new Maverick. But probably for the best. Good luck. Owner.

Ford/Lincoln service is poor. Lincoln never provides “home pick up and drop off” as promised. Problems are often not resolved on first visit. More
