As a Customer and current Lincoln owner I do not like being lied to. The customer service and response I received from the Assistant Service Manager Larry at Parks Lincoln made me feel violated concernin being lied to. The customer service and response I received from the Assistant Service Manager Larry at Parks Lincoln made me feel violated concerning my personal property and invaluable as a new customer. I originally brought my SUV in on 1/13/14 for warranty Service on the sunroof. Two days after receiving the SUV back on 1/16/14, I was returning to Parks Lincoln for the same exact issue. On the second trip to the Parks Lincoln the sunroof was repaired and I was advised the wind deflectors were replaced on both sides. My SUV was pulled up by the valet and I left the dealership on 1/20/14. Several minutes after leaving the dealership I noticed that the Valet key was missing from my key fob. I returned to the dealership within 20 minutes. Upon speaking to Larry I asked for the key and it was not provided. He informed me he did not know where the key was. I asked why would the key be removed if there was no need for it to be removed to complete service on my SUV. He stated he didn't know maybe it fell out. I then asked him if he could run the Vin on the car and create a new key since they misplaced it. He said no, since I did not purchase my Vehicle from Parks Lincoln of Tampa (Which is registered in my name and has a 6yr 100,000 mile warranty on it) it would be a breach of Confidentiality. He then informed me I needed to go home and return with the spare key of which they could make a copy. I later called Central Florida Lincoln in Orlando where I purchased the car and they informed me that I was in the Lincoln system and any Lincoln Dealership could create a new Key with the Vin number from the vehicle. So I went back Parks Lincoln for the 4th time and again asked Larry if they could create me a new Key from my Vin number. I explained to him this is not my first car with a keyless entry and could he explain why the key was removed from the fob in the first place, he still could not explain or elaborate on the need to remove the key. Larry then put in a service ticket to replace the key. With-in 20 minutes I was given a key that opened my vehicle, which I'm pretty sure is my original key. This makes me feel very uncomfortable doing business at this location. I'm putting this up here so other consumers will be aware to check their keys when they have service completed on their vehicles any location. More

Larry Mills, Assistant Service Manager, was very helpful Larry Mills, Assistant Service Manager, was very helpful with getting the proper people involved to quickly examine my cracked windshield and to list Larry Mills, Assistant Service Manager, was very helpful with getting the proper people involved to quickly examine my cracked windshield and to listen to our feelings that it should be a warranty problem, not a crack caused by road damage. They were able to contact the proper people at Ford to explain the situation and convince them that even though Lincoln does not normally cover glass damage of this nature as a warranty item, this was indeed a very unusual situation and Ford agreed to support their findings. The parts were ordered promptly and they were ready for me when I brought the car back. They issued me a loner car while my car was being repaired and completed the work within the time frame they promised. Everyone we came in contact with at Parks Lincoln were very friendly and helpful and I would not hesitate to take my car back there for service. More
My car took longer than expected to be fixed and Larry made sure to keep me notified of what was going on. He made sure I had a rental car to drive the entire time my car was in for service. made sure to keep me notified of what was going on.

I brought my Mercury Mariner SUV in for its 90k tune-up on 12/5/13 and as always I had a wonderful experience with the Parks Lincoln service department. I spoke with Bill Mitchell the day before to get a c on 12/5/13 and as always I had a wonderful experience with the Parks Lincoln service department. I spoke with Bill Mitchell the day before to get a cost estimate. He was very thorough in explaining the various services my SUV needed, as well as an estimate for the cost. When I brought it in on the day of servicing, Mr. Mitchell was scheduled to be off that day, but he had left explicit instructions for other service members as to what we had discussed. I had worked with Larry Mills before and again, he took me under his wing and referred to Bill's information when we discussed what items we were going to have done that day. It is always a pleasant experience to pull up in the always clean service area, with the astute service greeters, always saying good morning and being very helpful as I waited to speak with Larry. I have complete confidence in all work done on my SUV by the Parks Lincoln service personnel. I know they strive to take good care of me, and my SUV. This is my fourth vehicle purchased and serviced by Parks (formerly Northgate) Lincoln Mercury -- and the excellent service I receive is the reason I'll always purchase my vehicles from Parks! More

My wife and I can't say enough good things about this dealership. The service personnel are absolutely outstanding and I must not forget those in the body shop. I doubt other dealerships have such a gr dealership. The service personnel are absolutely outstanding and I must not forget those in the body shop. I doubt other dealerships have such a great staff. I could take our car for service to Lakeland, much closer, but for all service work, we'd rather go to Parks. Notwithstanding that is where we purchased our MKX. We have now bought two of the MKX from Parks and have not regretted either for a minute. I praise this dealership to all those interested in buying a Lincoln product. Our next vehicle, not only will be an MKX, but will also be purchased from Parks. When you happen upon a great business, run by professionals, you can't look elsewhere. J. Bearden Valrico More
