Arrived at the service dept to find an empty service bay with no one in site. Finally walked into the building and talked with a service advisor regarding some very basic problems.

The front power port is not working and I was quickly told I, as the owner, must have put a power charger that was not compatible and broke it. If that is the case, it is not covered under warranty and I would need to pay out of pocket for it. I also was there regarding a cover under the truck that was hanging off. If the time was taken to actually look, it would be obvious the bolt broke off and needed to be repaired. I was told I must have driven somewhere I shouldn't have, and again, I damaged this and it won't be covered. This was amazing information from a person who would not even get up from his chair to look these items over. How do you even begin to repair items without looking at them first. It is amazing this service department has customers who would return after such poor service, and plenty of other Ford Dealerships to go to. I would higly recommend to go elsewhere to receive some sort of service from a facility who values the business. More
I bought my 2008 Mustang GT from Santan ford and anytime I have gone there for service, I have been treated like royalty. I will never look to buy a car from any other dealer. I am more than satified with t I have gone there for service, I have been treated like royalty. I will never look to buy a car from any other dealer. I am more than satified with this Dealership. Thank You Eric Thompson and the to the mechanics that worked on my vehicle. Raymond Bulka More
Well since my last post my 2011 F250 6.7L diesel has been in the shop two more times now it has 4,800 miles, tonight when I went to pick it up and listened to the service advisor Chris complain about how the in the shop two more times now it has 4,800 miles, tonight when I went to pick it up and listened to the service advisor Chris complain about how they have to treat it like it's a child because I will complain if it's not perfect. I simply told him yes that's correct everytime it comes here it leaves with something else broken or wrong with it, well tonight was no different, the coolant was low (not even visible in tank), and the front air dam between the bumper and radiator was falling off after the radiator had been replaced last week. I showed these issues to their operations director John so hopefully now something will be done to make it right. I HATE MY TRUCK AND IT IS THE FAULT OF THIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY SUCK.... Any questions just email me and I can scan all eight of my dealer work orders for this truck to you. More
Seems obvious this dealer has a lot of their own employees rating it from the biased 5 point reviews. But I'm a dissatisfied customer, so please believe this review. I bought a San Tan Ford Lemon employees rating it from the biased 5 point reviews. But I'm a dissatisfied customer, so please believe this review. I bought a San Tan Ford Lemon 4 years ago, I've taken it into San Tan Ford Service several times for repairs. San Tan Ford can't seem to find what is wrong with it. Sometimes they say they've fixed it and sometimes they say nothing is wrong. This is all warranty work, so they don't have a choice but to work on it. I finally took it to an independent repair place and they found 3 defective parts causing my car to stall constantly. I took those parts back to Ken at San Tan Ford and they deny there is anything wrong and refuse to reimburse me since I went elsewhere. I had to go elsewhere to get it FIXED. I'm done with San Tan Ford and recommend ANYWHERE ELSE. More
Not only would I not recommend them, after 33 years of Ford ownership, I'll never buy another Ford and the experiences with this dealership are the reason. Unless you know exactly what the problems are wi Ford ownership, I'll never buy another Ford and the experiences with this dealership are the reason. Unless you know exactly what the problems are with your car, don't go there for service. I gave them a description of what I felt was wrong, so the service dept. only looked into that, said nothing was wrong and fixed nothing. After several visits to get the issues fixed, the got worse and SURPRISE, my warranty is now expired. Now they seem to have the intelligence to diagnose the problem and for a mere $1000 they will fix it. More
all of the personel at the dealership have been very helpful and curtious. I think that they are very business like without being overly agressive in their approch to all the matters for the sale and fi helpful and curtious. I think that they are very business like without being overly agressive in their approch to all the matters for the sale and financing of the vehicle i purchased. Their responce to a damaged molding was very positive and non confrontational, replaced with no hassel. The San Tan Foord team is great befor,during,and after the sale. Keep up the good work. More
We pulled up to the service drive and there was one other vehicle there (should have been the first red flag). We moved recently and our usual dealership that we love (Earnhardt's) was a little out of the w vehicle there (should have been the first red flag). We moved recently and our usual dealership that we love (Earnhardt's) was a little out of the way. But at Earnhardt's they have someone greet you at your car so we assumed that's just how it worked. A couple of people walked by us and we waited for awhile until someone finally came out. He seemed irritated and not happy to see us. We told him the problem we were having. He didn't ask us to show him on the car what we meant, or ask for clarification. He just asked for my name and address and said he'd give me a call. I asked 'dont you need my phone number?' and he said, 'yeah go ahead' so I gave it to him. Then there was an awkward silence. I was waiting for him to check the mileage, walk around the car with me, thank me for coming in, SMILE even? but no, he was waiting for us to leave. So we did. I had a feeling he wouldn't call me when it was done and immediately got a bad feeling about leaving my car there. I called about 5 hours later to ask if my car was done and it was! They didn't call me to let me know this, I had to guess. They ordered the part they needed and said they'd call me when it came in. I called back a couple of days later to check and guess what? It was in! Once again, no phone call from them. Dropped the car off again to get it fixed and they said they'd call me when it was done. I called the next day and STRIKE THREE it was done and I hadn't received a single call once ever from this dealership. I went to pick up my car kind of already knowing that something was going to be wrong. And what a shocker, they ordered and replaced the wrong part in my vehicle. Had the advisor listened or paid any attention to us at all when we originally came in he would know this. Had the technician even looked at what he was replacing, HE would know that he was replacing a part that worked perfectly fine. Can they even do that under warranty? Is Ford paying for their ignorance? Needless to say, we didn't have them order the correct part, we took the car to another dealership. I will never, ever come back to this dealership and, neither will my mom's fusion, my dad's f250, my boyfriends f150 or my grandmother's explorer. More
This is the second service for 2001 Ranger XLT, 3.0L (first was about a year ago, also suspicious "repairs"). A year ago: Put truck in shop for maint issues - these were resolved, but new issues c (first was about a year ago, also suspicious "repairs"). A year ago: Put truck in shop for maint issues - these were resolved, but new issues cropped up each time I took the truck back to the dealer. Prior to the third visit, the starter was operating normally. After the third visit, the starter was screeching when cranking. Having the tools, time, and documentation, I removed the starter to check on the state of the starter gear and flywheel ring gear - both were in perfect condition, and appeared to be operating normally. But I discovered that the battery cable connecting at the starter had mysteriously became loose. The nut was unscrewed about 1/2 down the stud, and the cable was flopping loosely on the stud. (This should never happen - the nut was held in place by a red plastic cover to prevent accidental shorts across the battery. This cover also locks the nut in place.) While the cover was snapped into place onto the nut, the nut had become "loose". Hmmm.... This weekend (8/29/2009): I needed to have some parts replaced and overdue routine service (cabin dome lamp housing, get a quote to replace the tailgate, fuel filter, A/C service, brake service, oil change, oil filter, rotate tires, coolant flush). Most of the routine service seems to have been performed (but I'm taking their word for it). They said they saw dirty hydraulic fluid (power steering), and recommended changing it and the rear differential oil, and transmission fluid (about $500 for diff, tranny, and hyd fluid, seems very high), tires were worn and needed replacement (possibly true, checking this evening). The A/C refrigerant was low (not surprising - first service in 8 years), but the A/C was still working fairly well, and I wanted to keep it that way. They said they found a leak in one of the A/C hoses, and wanted to replace the hose ($480, and they didn't have it in stock). I told them to just add refrigerant ($100) and I would have to budget for the hose later. They didn't have the dome lamp housing ($90), and couldn't find one in the valley. They couldn't provide a complete quote on the tailgate either, but what they did say was in line with online research. I got the truck back, but didn't realize the A/C wasn't working (it did seem warmer than it should have, but I was very hot and sweaty, and couldn't be sure). I had little reason to trust them before this visit, and after I examine the tires and A/C tonight, I may have strong reason to never go back again. More
Took my F150 on for its schedueled oil change and inspection yesterday, boy was i surprised when i got home from work that night and looked it over. First, off both side of the cowling molding are br inspection yesterday, boy was i surprised when i got home from work that night and looked it over. First, off both side of the cowling molding are broken, window molding on driver side is torn off and broken someone stuffed it down to hold it in place like i wouldnt notice. Second, my fender flair on the front driver side is broken, and you can only buy those in sets of four when you need to replace one at the cost of $500. Third, chipped paint at the top of my window and swirl marks in the paint along both sides of the truck. Lastly, greasy finger prints all along the doors and bedsides and grease inside my truck on the leather interior front and rear seats. The very first call i get from them regarding my truck after i dropped it off for its oil change was one saying my oil plug needed to be replaced because it was leaking alot of oil. I found this odd since my truck is garage kept and rarely driven and have never had a spot of oil under it, so im sure that was damaged there. Also truck came back with a lack of power as if it were detuned, rear end loose along with the tail gate. This is not the first time ive had trouble with them. Each time the truck goes in Im working on something they did wrong or cleaning it up. The very first time i had it serviced there my AFE intake was partially disassembled and never put back together, so i had to replace clamps and hose sections on that. They agreed to fix the damage on my truck they consider to "possibly" be their fault but not everything i listed. I would not recommend this dealership to anyone for buying a vehicle or service its been nothing but a nightmare for me with both. More
