I will never recommend this dealership service center I took my 2015 cargo van in for a recall and received terrible and careless service. I had also ordered an extra part to be installed at the same time I took my 2015 cargo van in for a recall and received terrible and careless service. I had also ordered an extra part to be installed at the same time. When I arrived, I asked if they could replace the plastic cowl that goes over the side view mirror as it had been damaged. I Use the truck for my job and not having it in service costs me money and time so I made sure to ask if this work could be completed within the 1 day time period. I was told "yes". First- I was told be the guy I was dealing with that the whole mirror assembly had to be replaced and not just the cover. I told him that he was wrong and that the piece was available from his parts department and gave hime the cost. (I had done some research) He told me I was wrong again and then when I persisted, he said that he would look into it. Second- I received a call later in the day from the representative that I was dealing with. He said that the mirror piece was available and if I could leave it for another day, he could order the part and have it installed. I said no and that I only have a 1 day window of availability at this time. The rep then coyly said that the other part that I had made sure to have ordered so as to be ready for installation was never ordered. He said that he could order it and have it installed the next day. When I expressed my frustration over this he was dismissive and said that there was nothing that he could do. So the rep was hoping to cover his tail. Third- When I went to pick it up at the end of the day I got stuck in bad traffic. I called him and said that I was running :15 late based on Google maps. I said that it looked like I was going to arrive at 5:43. I asked if he could possibly have someone stay a few minutes late to make the handoff of the truck. He said no emphatically. I had to turn around return which was really terrible since I was more than half way there at the time. I was really pissed off. Fourth- This morning I went to pickup my truck. I arrived at 7:00 as they opened. All I needed was my key. they made me wait :30 for my truck. They never did offer an apology for anything. I will never go back and aI will never recommend them to anyone. PHB More
Horrific and will never go back The worst dealership/service center I have done business with. Unaccomodating to their customers, and terrible customer service. My car was brought The worst dealership/service center I have done business with. Unaccomodating to their customers, and terrible customer service. My car was brought it in there three times for the same problem. I finally had it brought to a service center that isn't convenient for me because they are an hour away but they fixed my car and gave me a loaner in the interim. I will never use this queens location again and I wouldn't wish my experience on anyone. If you can, take your car elsewhere. More
Will never go back to this dealership for Service Took one of my Lincoln MKT's to this dealership for service as I usually do on a monthly basis. I had my driver drop it off yesterday with the expecta Took one of my Lincoln MKT's to this dealership for service as I usually do on a monthly basis. I had my driver drop it off yesterday with the expectation that it would have been done by the end of the day only to call at the end of the day and was told by the service advisor that they didn't get to it yet and it will be checked out first thing in the morning(No Problem). I called back the next day at 11;30am only to be told by the same rep that the vehicle still hasn't been checked out yet and he couldn't tell me when it would be I just had to wait or I can come get it.(Talk about customer service!). Well Ford Lincoln I have news for you I will never use your service again for any of my cars or recommend you to anyone I know. Regards, Samburt More
Incomplete Service, Lazy Brought our car in for its 30,000 mile service -- we purchased ford's premium pre-paid service plan for five years, with the car. this service center Brought our car in for its 30,000 mile service -- we purchased ford's premium pre-paid service plan for five years, with the car. this service center changed oil, rotated tires. i asked about filter changes. they said filters were not covered in our plan. a quick call to ford this morning told me they were entirely wrong. This is what they should have done: Includes maintenance items from 15,000 miles All Vehicles • Replace Engine Air Filter • Replace Fuel Filter • Inspect Complete Exhaust System and Heat Shields • Perform Automatic Transmission/Transaxle Service • Inspect Accessory Drive Belts (Villager and Escort) • Replace Climate-controlled Seat Filters (Navigator, If Equipped) • Change Manual Transmission Fluid (At 60,000 Miles) • Lubricate and Adjust 4x2 Wheel Bearings, Replace Grease Seals (At 60,000 Miles) • Inspect NGV Tanks (At 60,000 Miles, If Equipped) • Perform Multi-point Inspection • Check and Fill: – Window Washer Fluid – Coolant Recovery Reservoir – Power Steering Fluid – Transmission Fluid – Clutch Reservoir Fluid (Truck Only) • Check and Adjust Air Pressure in All Tires • Visually Inspect Exhaust System • Check Operation of Horn, Exterior Lamps, Turn Signals and Hazard Warning Lights • Visually Inspect Cooling System • Check Windshield Washer Spray and Wiper Operation • Inspect Halfshaft Boots (If Equipped) • Check Parking Brake • Check and Lubricate All Hinges, Latches and Locks • Check Battery Connections • Check and Lubricate Door Weather Strips • Check and Drain Fuel/Water Separator (Diesel) More
Best Ford Service Dealer I wanted to write you a note thanking your employee Juan Toro. The level of service he provided me was exceptional, and the best experience I’ve had I wanted to write you a note thanking your employee Juan Toro. The level of service he provided me was exceptional, and the best experience I’ve had at a Ford service center. Harry also assisted me too, and your staff was very helpful. I’m a native New Yorker, born and raised in Queens and was very pleased with the level of service I received. I look forward to future servicing. Thank you. More
Just couldn't be any worse I have a 2009 Mustang only with 22k miles in it, parked in a heated garage all year long. I was used to be taking it to Ford DiBlasi each year for ch I have a 2009 Mustang only with 22k miles in it, parked in a heated garage all year long. I was used to be taking it to Ford DiBlasi each year for checkup and maintenance. There were no problems at all. Last year Ford DiBlasi went out of business, so I took it to Ford Lincoln of Queens. What a mistake. I drove this car about 3000 miles since last year's checkup at Ford DiBlasi and now these guys at Ford Lincoln of Queens are telling me that there are over $1800 worth of work needs to be done on the car, including the replacement of both front suspension lower control arms ($950), drive belt change ($175), replacing high mount brake light bulb ($65), coolant flush ($115), etc. Unfortunately I'm not a mechanic myself, so I cannot judge whether these were really required or not, but at least it is suspicious that everything was fine last year and before that at Ford DiBlasi and now suddenly $1800 worth of work is needed after driving 3000 miles in a year. In any case, I went for it. Now let's talk about the prices. There is one thing out of these, which is easy to compare - the drive belt change. I paid $175 including parts and labor (1 hour of work!?). Repairpal.com quotes $83-156 for drive belt replacement (repairpal.com/estimator/…), so this is 10% above of the highest in what repairpal.com have seen. After this you would expect that you will receive a white gloves service. Well, you are up for a surprise! It is one thing that the whole place looks like a dump, when I went to pick up my car which I left there for a few days for them to do the works, it took them over 40 minutes to find my car! I had to start shouting in the end, so they start moving and get my car out for me. While I was standing there, the first 25-30 minutes not a single car has left the garage and there were about a dozen people waiting, so you can't say that "there were too many cars, so they were busy", as simply they were just not moving ANY cars out of the lot all while people were standing and waiting there. In summary, I could hardly image a worse service (can't judge the quality of the repair work though). More
Disorganized chaos This is my SECOND time here, the first time I waited 4hrs for an oil change, (understandable) although it was "scheduled"..As stated in the subject, t This is my SECOND time here, the first time I waited 4hrs for an oil change, (understandable) although it was "scheduled"..As stated in the subject, this place is an utter mess, I can understand that it's being renovated, but I've been here 2nd TIME (scheduled) since 8:30am, it is now 1pm and the sense of urgency is NIL, ZIP, NADA, I should've gone to Jersey. At least the coffee there is free. More
Unprofessional service I had an appointment on July 15th and got very disappointed by the service I was provided. My advisor Juan Toro was very unhelpful and couldn't find t I had an appointment on July 15th and got very disappointed by the service I was provided. My advisor Juan Toro was very unhelpful and couldn't find the real reason of concern in my car. I hear suspension noise over bumps screeching when goes up and down. I left the car for the service twice and problem wasn't solved, but right now it's even worse. The first time when I left my car there they changed some parts and told me it should work. However it didn't work. So I came back and left my car for two days. They called me and told car was done. However, when I got there to pick up my car I was told there by Mr. Juan Toro is no problem and they don't hear any noise. They didn't perform any service just kept my car there for 2 days and I really hear that noise!! In addition, it is very hard to reach them by phone. They simply don't pick up your phone and don't care about the customer!!!! More
I scheduled an appointment to have my car serviced (brand new 2013 escape). When I arrived at the Jamaica Avenue service center, there were two gentlemen at the dest, including Juan Toro himself. I said good new 2013 escape). When I arrived at the Jamaica Avenue service center, there were two gentlemen at the dest, including Juan Toro himself. I said good morning to them. They both ignored me for at least 10 mn, stapling paperwork and without even looking up to see who's this person and what does he want. At some point, Mr. Toro decided it was perhaps appropriate to start acknowledging my presence adn asked me "how can I help you?". I told him that I had made an appointment a day prior and had come on time to complete a scheduled maintenance. Arrongantly and dismissively he pointed to a stack of blue and white work orders and said to me: "you see this pile!? these folks have been here before you and I can't promise you we'll get to your car before at least tomorrow." I felt like all the good reviews about the SALES dept of this dealership meant NOTHING to those in the SERVICE unit. Not only was Juan and his partner at the frotn desk rude and dismissive, but they als made me question my decision to drive 15 miles to come to this forsaken place where impoliteness and below standard customer service are normalcy. SHAME ON YOU! If it means nothing to make appointments then dont isnsist on people make them to start with. More
