My Bronco broke down and had to be towed to Palmetto Ford. I had Ford manufactured tube doors on the vehicle at that time. I couldn’t change the tube doors out as the car had broken down on the side of Ford. I had Ford manufactured tube doors on the vehicle at that time. I couldn’t change the tube doors out as the car had broken down on the side of the road. I was told that the control module had to be replaced. I asked the head of service to keep the vehicle undercover (inside) so that it wouldn’t be exposed to the weather. Vehicle was in service for (6) weeks. Horrible communication and follow-up with service department. I was told the vehicle was complete and asked to come pick it up only to find out when I arrived that the vehicle had been flooded because it was left outside! Management’s response to me was that It was crazy for me to have my vehicle towed to them with tube doors on it. Go figure… as if I purposely created this challenge. The communication has been outrageous from the beginning. I found them to be argumentative and unprofessional. They don’t seem to care about customer satisfaction… My suggestion is to take your vehicle to some other Ford Service center. I will never do business with Palmetto Ford again. More

Excellent service and customer interaction, makes it easy drop off. Same speed as a quick oil lube but better service. drop off. Same speed as a quick oil lube but better service. More

August 4th I came to Palmetto Ford service in the early morning to get a new key for my car instead of the one I lost. The car was towed to them on the previous Sunday evening (08/03). Gregory Engert, the morning to get a new key for my car instead of the one I lost. The car was towed to them on the previous Sunday evening (08/03). Gregory Engert, the service advisor, told me that the key should be programmed in order to be used, so the car must be towed to their service garage (first it was towed to Ford dealership main entrance, because Sundays service parking lot is closed) for making that programming. Greg helped me to call for a local towing company (at 9:30am), adding that I will need to pay for the towing service. I agreed with that because he told me that the car has to be towed to them in order to make a new key. Once the towing truck arrived (11:00am) and the car was towed to the garage entrance (11:30am), just before bringing my car down from the truck, they tried to start the engine with the new key they already produced while waiting for the towing truck. And guess what, the key fit and the engine ran! With that said, they did not even needed the car being physically presented at their garage, and helped me to make a new key without it (they knew the key code, it was enough to make a key). My question "Why did we request a towing service and I was told to pay for it $125 by myself, if there was no need to request it at all?" I addressed to their service lane manager Jim Moody. Jim seemed to understand the situation, but he had to ask for another (higher) service manager in order to request the reimbursement for that towing fee ($125). That manager did not agree to pay for the towing because I agreed to pay for it (of course I had to agree, because they did not even want to try to check, if it would be possible to make a key without the car!), and because in fact they made the key (and I paid for it of course!), so it was no sense for him to refund $125 to me. Their manager did not think his service advisor has any problem, he did not want to listen and to understand, that because of his advisor I lost my money, and it could be avoidable. He only thought about himself and protecting his people without thinking of their customers. Absolutely non client-oriented assistance, trash service! More

Great customer service thanks to Jim Moody. I had a powertrain fault warning and when I called Jim he told me to bring it right in. After checking out my car it showed a broken piece on the AW I had a powertrain fault warning and when I called Jim he told me to bring it right in. After checking out my car it showed a broken piece on the AWD motor. Jim placed an Emergency Order in for the part and kept me updated multiple times on a daily basis with the progress of the part's arrival and when it came in, it was immediately repaired. I don't think that I have ever met a customer service person as nice as Jim. More

We will continue to use Palmetto Ford for all of our from beginning to end their service is superb. Everyone is courteous, helpful and professional. We will continue to use Palmetto Ford for all of our automotive needs! Keep up the GREAT work! More

They do fine with the basics but they tried to scam me twice. Car's AC was loud when I picked it up, so when I got home, I found the blower had debris in it and I didn't buy his 4 tps sensors for $1000 s twice. Car's AC was loud when I picked it up, so when I got home, I found the blower had debris in it and I didn't buy his 4 tps sensors for $1000 so I left with 3 bad sensors instead of the 1 bad sensor I asked to be changed. They changed the fluid on a transmission that didn't even have 10,000 miles on it yet as well. All I asked for was a tune up and replace 1 TPS sensor and I do have pictures to support my statement.

I regret that I have to report a terrible experience with the Palmetto Service department. my wife has a 2013 C-Max purchased from Palmetto. It has developed a warning light for the brake system and the lif the Palmetto Service department. my wife has a 2013 C-Max purchased from Palmetto. It has developed a warning light for the brake system and the liftgate has ceased to function. After a $500 bill for "diagnostics" I was told that I have to pay for the parts before they would order them. I reluctantly agreed to that, but now after 3 weeks of almost daily calling to Allen Oltmann, I have yet to receive a return call with the name of who I need to pay. The service department in general is chaotic and not welcoming. I wonder if the dealer is financially unsound that they don't stock parts and require payment before ordering--does Ford not extend them credit? this is an expensive repair and I am considering replacing my C-Max with a new Escape, but that looks unlikely as a purchase from Palmetto.
