It was over a weekend. Each one took 5 days I was given a rental car for the second repair. After I picked up my car I was called and accused of renting the car on my own and charging it to the dealership by my service writer. It was absolutely horrifying. I will be using a different dealership.

To Austin Hundt,
Thank you for reaching out to me. Unfortunately there are multiple issues with servicing my car. The digest issue is that since my car had oil chang and valve work done my car leaks oil which it has never done before the service. I am positive because I moved to a brand new house with a spotless garage floor. I do need to have this and other issues to discuss. Please let me know when we can meet in person especially since I need oil leak addressed as soon as possible.
Respectfully,
Carolyn Bray

was extremely disappointing. My car was in the shop for a long time for a full engine replacement under Ford’s extended warranty, and communication during that entire period was poor. I had to chase every update and even push to get the rental that my warranty already covered.
Less than a month after finally getting the car back, it developed a severe transmission fluid leak and became almost undrivable. I was first told it was caused by “road debris,” but after more back‑and‑forth, the dealership repaired it at no cost. Even then, I couldn’t get a clear explanation of what actually happened or how it related to the previous repair.
I’m glad the car is fixed now, but the lack of transparency, long repair time, and the amount of effort required just to get basic support, despite having Ford’s extended warranty, has really damaged my trust in this service department.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback and for your continued loyalty to our dealership. The concerns you’ve raised regarding communication, clarity around repairs, and the overall support experience — especially with an extended warranty — are important and deserve a thorough review.
To better understand what occurred during both the engine replacement and the subsequent transmission concern, I’d like to speak with you directly and review the repair history in full. Your insight will help us identify where communication and transparency broke down and how we can improve our process moving forward.
Please reach out to me directly at your convenience so I can gather more information and address this appropriately.

Hi Austin,
Thank you for responding. I’m open to discussing my experience in more detail, and I’ll gladly go over everything with you directly. You can reach me at 352-246-2869. My name is Ace Pollas.
I do have another issue with the car that I need to address as well, but I’ll be honest — my last experience with the service department has made me hesitant to bring it back in. I’m hoping that speaking with you will help clear things up and give me more confidence moving forward.
No one will acknowledge you when you walk in.
Never call to let you know car is ready. Quoted $79 for an oil change, ended up being $119 with taxes fees and extra oil. How does Ford not know how
Never call to let you know car is ready. Quoted $79 for an oil change, ended up being $119 with taxes fees and extra oil. How does Ford not know how much oil goes in their engines? Tried to bill me 130$ for the oil change because the labor was input wrong.
Technicians managed to install the wall panels over top of the seat belts once, and no one noticed until I went to drive it away after 5pm. Had to come back next day.
Never have had a good experience with the service department over the 50k miles I've had my truck.

Dropped truck off at 10 am. Was not done until 3:30 pm. Was very disappointed with their service this time. Will change my oil from now on and find someone local to do tires. Charging way too much and taking way too long for basic services. I'll find someone else to buy a new 80,000 truck from.
