Apple Ford

After the worst Service Department experience in 47 years, I have written off any Ford product for future purchases, and I plan to sell our Transit Connect van very, very soon. Yesterday I was lied to years, I have written off any Ford product for future purchases, and I plan to sell our Transit Connect van very, very soon. Yesterday I was lied to on seven different occasions regarding Ford Co. policy, expected completion times, availability of a shuttle to take me home, and the process of fixing a particular problem. Arrogant, dismissive, dishonest, and negligent people from top to bottom. Service Manager is either a half wit or a terrible liar. Either they know what they're doing and are dishonest OR they DON'T know what they are doing and screw up by the numbers. Either way the customer loses. I am 65 years old and have dealt with Ford, Honda, Ram, Mazda, Tesla and Buick dealers and mechanics for nearly 47 years. This was the worst service experience since I have been a customer at car dealerships (dating back to 1973). The desk clerk, while polite, was filled with fake, inaccurate info. I guess they assume customers are idiots. Warning: Do not trust ANYONE at Apple Ford in Columbia. They show no respect or regret. They can't seem to do anything right or communicate even among themselves. Mechanics tell you one thing...Service Manager another...desk clerk just makes it up as we go. DONE! No more Fords. Mr. Ford in Detroit would not be happy with this dealership because it gives his whole company a bad name: LIARS. FRAUDS. NITWITS. No more Fords for me and my family. And only too glad to tell my neighbors and friends. Be aware: This dealership will screw you. They are fools, liars and arrogant incompetents. AVOID like the plague. Buy a Honda or Toyota or Tesla...avoid Ford. More

Simply the worst starting with the arrogant owner through sales and finance mangers and sales people. Be aware of this dealership. Stay away. They lie about everything sales and finance mangers and sales people. Be aware of this dealership. Stay away. They lie about everything More

Terrible liars . I brought my Lincoln MKC in for routine service and tire rotation . They claim to change the oil but failed to rotate the tires . Mistakes happen so no biggie . I called explained what they service and tire rotation . They claim to change the oil but failed to rotate the tires . Mistakes happen so no biggie . I called explained what they failed to do . The service manager Donnie arranged for my vehicle to be picked up at my residence and have the tires rotated . I’m thinking this is great . They picked my vehicle up on a Monday my day off . Dropped the vehicle off with paperwork that stated the tires where rotated . Sounds great right ? Only propose is unmarked the tires to ensure the work was done and the markings were in the same place as before . I called and spoke to another manager who advised that he was sure they were rotated what he didn’t realize was the service department was closed on Monday and there was no way the tires could’ve been rotated !!!!! They gave me fraudulent paperwork which makes me question if they didn’t anything at all . To top it off I sent the vehicle to another mechanic to double check their work and he discovered that the dealership left every major bolt loose including the master cylinder for the brakes . I wouldn’t trust anything these liars say . Any work they claim to do is subject to fail because they lie . I would reinspect anything they pass off as complete or just not use this dealership . They are setting people up for major work by sabotaging your vehicle and lying about completed work . Do not use them at all !!!!! More

My initial contact with Apple Ford was not good because my questions were not adequately answered. The day before the appointment I spoke with Curtis Ford. He provided reassuring answers to my questions. my questions were not adequately answered. The day before the appointment I spoke with Curtis Ford. He provided reassuring answers to my questions. When I arrived for the appointment Mr. Ford took time to personally investigate the situation and assured me that the problem could be resolved quickly. The problem was resolved and I was in and out within 1 hour!! Excellent customer service. More

Where do I even start?First, the first words of the Where do I even start? First, the first words of the listing for my vehicle literally started with "CLEAN CARFAX...NO ACCIDENTS". Well, after t Where do I even start? First, the first words of the listing for my vehicle literally started with "CLEAN CARFAX...NO ACCIDENTS". Well, after test driving the vehicle in a thunder/lightning storm, I came back and began paperwork. After hours of waiting, I finally was handed the keys. Upon moving my belongings to my new vehicle, I noticed someone side swiped the rear passenger side door. They acted like they had no idea about it, even though it was covered in non-matching touch up paint (which also made its way onto my rear leather seat). I had the sales manager come out and have a look for himself, so it could not have been blamed on me and he said that I could bring it back and he would have his "master tech" fix it AND buff + detail the whole car again in order to try and remove a few other scratches around the vehicle. I had taken it back to the dealership, which is over an hour each way and after picking it up a few days later, it looked as if a teenager in his backyard attempted to fix the dents, scratches, and totally screwed up paint. There were runs/drips/lines in the paint, dimples in the bondo, and an overall orange peel effect on the paint. I had taken it back AGAIN and was told that they clay-bar'd the whole car plus buffed and waxed it again. The vehicle was not touched at all. Same issues were still there. I paid a paint correction company to fix it and they explained how bad it was and with the orange peel, there wasn't a whole lot they could do. I would have to have the whole rear door and rear panel repainted if I wanted it to look right. In addition to that, my adaptive cruise control + collision detection was not working. I told Jesse Nammack about this and I explained it was most likely the mounting bracket since you could feel the sensor was loose. He told me it was not a problem and he would fix it. After picking it up the third time (and being promised yet another full detail), he explained to me that they reset the whole system and he even took it for a test drive to make sure things were working. Not even five minutes after leaving, it stopped working and began throwing errors on my dash. While on my way to the vacation, I emailed him photos of the error on my dash and until this day I have not heard back. I just recently took it to a local Ford dealership using my warranty and paying the $100 deductible. They explained that the bracket was broken and the apparently the VIN in the module did not match my vehicle VIN. Well, that along with the front bumper being slightly off leads me to believe the vehicle was in ANOTHER accident that was handled outside of insurance and not mentioned in their listing or in person. I was also having problems with my sunroof sticking. They told me the switch was broken and backordered but they would call me when it was in. It's been 11 months and I've heard nothing back from them. As if that wasn't enough, a few days after purchasing my vehicle, it began to overheat and the AC quit working. The cooling fans died, but they did in fact replace those. The only proper repair that was completed. Be careful when going over your finance options too. They try to sneak in a Ford warranty into your payments and are not very happy when you notice. They DO NOT mention this at all until you mention it. I ended up opting for a warranty from another company due to the amount of electronics on the vehicle, but should not have given them another single penny. Their financing is also higher than anywhere else. I ran numbers before hand and was offered multiple finance options for 4% and the best they could do was 5.5%+ (give or take). My fault for not obtaining a loan before hand and being on a time constraint. Oh, and let me not forget how unprofessional the sales associate was. I believe her name was Leslie. I have worked retail and customer service previously for many years and cannot believe they would hire someone who literally has no understanding of basic customer service skills. Her phone call to me asking me to pickup my vehicle was highly unprofessional...to say the least. And to top it off, while *I* was attaching my license plate, Leslie was telling me about the Ford Explorer behind my vehicle. She mentioned a couple coming in to look at it for their daughter in college and were upset because the paint was different on the front fender than the rest of the vehicle. Leslie was laughing and telling me how absurd those customers were. Really?! I should have followed their footsteps and left without purchasing this vehicle! Guess Apple Ford has a habit of trying to cover up issues. So, it's been almost a year and I have never heard back in regards to the sunroof switch, adaptive cruise control/collision detection or my paint issue. Add all of this up and I should probably seek legal counsel, but I honestly don't think it's worth my time or effort any longer, so I will just leave my review for Apple Ford anywhere I can and steer anyone looking to purchase a new vehicle far away from this establishment.

Quick lane GOOD, Full service VERY BAD If you have Ford loyalty, then the Quick Lane service is solid and I would recommend them, but I couldn't have been more disappointed with the full se If you have Ford loyalty, then the Quick Lane service is solid and I would recommend them, but I couldn't have been more disappointed with the full service garafe. My tale of woe below is worth reading. I left the car at the dealer for 8 full days while I was out of town to address 3 issues: 1. malfunction of heating/radio interface, 2. Rattling and grinding while braking, 3. Minimal bumper damage from tapping a parking block (all written clearly in itemized fashion on the night drop form). I received a call around close of business time the following day from a coordinator asking why I dropped the vehicle off. I explained the 3 issues. The following day I received a call saying "your belts and fluids all look good" ad some concern about some bushings on my shocks that were worn down and quoted $1200 to fix them. I asked if this was the cause of my rattling with braking. The answer I received was "No, it wouldn't do that. This is something else, a routine maintenance thing. What's wrong with the brakes?" I explained to the same person again what the issue was. He said that "maybe tomorrow we can drive it and see what the problem is." I asked about the electronics interface issue. He says "Tomorrow we'll do a master reset." Next day: "We did a master reset, it's all working now. We'll take it for a spin tomorrow and test the brakes." Next day: "Our tech says it's definitely the rear rotors, we'll replace them." I had those rotors replaced less than a year ago. Next day "Your car is all done!" What about the bumper damage? "Oh, we'll schedule an estimate with the body shop." Next day exact same conversation, "Car is all done!" Oh, so you fixed the bumper damage? "Oh, we'll schedule an estimate with the body shop." Finally I arrive home from my trip and pick up the car. When I pick up the car, there is an estimate for the bumper repair which needs to be scheduled 2 weeks out (fine). I am then told that the master reset did NOT work, and am handed an estimate for $1,000 to replace the SYNC system. I was very upset to find that within this window of time that they had the car and I kept getting calls saying it was all done, they NEVER mentioned a need to replace the computer until I was picking the vehicle up. That was several days of opportunity wasted; it could have been repaired in that time. Let alone, I had to remind the service coordinator daily what the work was that I needed done. Finally, as I was driving away, the brake issues were just as bad as ever with NO improvement. Overall, I spent $550 for a misdiagnosis and incomplete treatment. Resolution: I took the vehicle to a different dealership (a non-dealer mechanic couldn't address this proprietary computer issue), they diagnose the issue as being a FRONT rotor problem "They're clearly warped, you can see it" and fix it immediately with full resolution of the braking problem. They then diagnose that the electronic issue is NOT the SYNC system, but rather a different control module requiring replacement (FCIM). They replaced it. The fix was spot on, and it is now in excellent condition. After a dozen visits to Quick Lane, my poor experience with the full service means my relationship with Apple Ford is over. More

Fast Lane Service - always great! Dropped my vehicle off for service yesterday and met Jonas for the first time. (Typically I deal with David Eichorn who is always so friendly and hel Dropped my vehicle off for service yesterday and met Jonas for the first time. (Typically I deal with David Eichorn who is always so friendly and helpful so I was a little worried dealing with someone knew.) There was no need to worry because Jonas was the same. He took my vehicle information quickly so that I could get to work and he was very professional. When I came back at the end of the day to pick up my vehicle, he had my paperwork ready and again got me out the door quickly. In my short experience with Jonas, I found him to be an asset to the Apple Ford team. More

This was a no hassle sale. We told them what we wanted. Where we wanted to be on the road and it happened I. Less than an hour. Will definitely go back to Apple Ford. Where we wanted to be on the road and it happened I. Less than an hour. Will definitely go back to Apple Ford. More
