Mr. Ryan Holcomb was prepared and thorough in addressing it. Based on that, I decided to return to Walker Ford when my car needed an oil change. Mr. Brian Kirkland was prompt, accurate and helpful.

Felt sort of taken, but can't hold it against them I purchased my 09 Flex from a dealer in Tampa and I'm outside their service shuttle zone, so I decided to try Walker Ford for my service needs since t I purchased my 09 Flex from a dealer in Tampa and I'm outside their service shuttle zone, so I decided to try Walker Ford for my service needs since they're 10 minutes from my house. The AC in my 09 Flex began acting up, it would not blow cold whenever I was idling or stopped. Like most folks with an internet connected device I immediately began searching online and found that this problem is a common occurrence and even had a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) issued back in 09 when Ford became aware that a bad sensor was causing the issue. On my first visit I explained the symptoms to my adviser Dan Victory and mentioned the TSB. The vehicle was diagnosed as needing recharged and the AC system serviced. Paid $200+ for that service, drove from the dealer ran some errands with no issues, until I headed home and it began doing the same thing. I thought perhaps it was a fluke so I let it go for a few days but the problem persisted so I called and made another appointment for the next week. I mentioned the TSB again, this time I was told some sensor was out and that while it wasn't the one the TSB mentioned it was related. I was also told that my cooling fan assembly was going bad and would need to be replaced. None of these repairs are covered under my warranty. So I paid for the sensor and began figuring out how I could afford to have the cooling fan assembly replaced. Meanwhile my AC continued to not blow cold while I was idling or stopped. I ended up having another ASE certified shop replace the cooling fan assembly as they were able to do it for about $450 less than Ford, and now my AC works like a champ. They did mention that the cooling fan assembly on the vehicle was replaced before and it would appear that cheap parts were used which could explain why after only 2 years it was needing replaced again...they put the new fan and the old one side by side and their was a noticeable difference. (Not Walker Fords problem, just sharing for the record.) The symptoms described to me on my second visit to indicate the cooling fan was beginning to fail had been present on the Flex since I drove it off the dealers lot in Tampa. Which is why I feel sort of taken (by Walker Ford), since I know for certain they were present the first time I brought the vehicle in to Walker and wasn't told about it. All that being said: I will return to Walker for service. I do/have recommended them. Dan Victory is an upfront and honest guy who is at the mercy of technicians whom he has no control over to provide him information on customer's vehicles. None of my displeasure is geared towards Dan or any of the service advisers/management. I just wish the technicians would have told me sooner the fan was going bad, as that seems to have been the issue. As the title of this review states though I can't hold it against them. Diagnosing car problems is like diagnosing medical conditions, it's not a science, it's an art and one artist (technician) may be far more skilled than another. Most of my gripe is with my Tampa dealer whose inspection process was obviously not nearly as thorough as they led me to believe. More

Tracy made sure that all parts were ordered an there before I dropped off my RS. When I arrived to Walker Ford Ryan greeted me and introduced himself talked abut my vehicle and brought me to my loaner. The kept in great contact with me with updates and was ready as instructed.

Warranty Work My 2016 Ford Fiesta ST developed a loud clicking noise on initial start up. I did research on various forums and learned that the blend door actuator My 2016 Ford Fiesta ST developed a loud clicking noise on initial start up. I did research on various forums and learned that the blend door actuator motors failed and made that noise. I called Walker Ford to set up an appointment; the service advisor said it sounded like a blend door motor failure. He said the car has 3 blend door motors and servicing would take 2-3 hours. When I brought the car in, I was met promptly by Brian. He explained what the problem was and estimated time to complete the repair. He also escorted me to the waiting lounge. About an hour or so later, Brian gave me an update that the tech had found the faulty motor and the repair would take another 60-90 minutes, as the faulty motor was the most difficult of the 3 to replace. The repair was completed in about 2.5 hours, within the initial estimated repair time. More
