Apple Ford - Service Center

My 2013 Licoln MKX was taken to Apple Ford for warranty work to be completed on June 28, 2021...I did not get my vehicle back until January 28, 2022. My car was not diagnosed until July 3, 2021 AFTER I rea work to be completed on June 28, 2021...I did not get my vehicle back until January 28, 2022. My car was not diagnosed until July 3, 2021 AFTER I reached out to Dontrez Demby, Service Agent. I finally received an outline of the items needing repair...the invoice was over TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. I requested ONLY WARRANTY REPAIRS be completed...THIS IS WHEN THE NIGHTMARE BEGAN. Mr. Demby made it quite clear that Apple Ford had not worked with my WARRANTY Company before and was not at all interested in working with them now since their were discrepancies on the labor time cost. I then had to start advocating between the two entities...and it was an major ordeal. The warranty company was gracious in approving repairs; however, Apple Ford was not meeting us at any point. The major ordeal came when the warranty company was ordering a part, and Apple insisted they order the part...once the warranty company cancelled the part order, Apple tried to now order that part that was now on BACK ORDER. Mr. Demby indicated to my husband and I that the part would be in late July to early August 2021. Once that time came and went, Mr. Demby now wanted to say it was the Warranty Company that was ordering the part. I had to continually be the middleman between the two entities...after MONTHS of getting NOWHERE, I sent an email on Oct 4, 2021 to ALL involved to include Apple Ford's head people: M. Sheckwlls, L.Lower, C. Doetch, G. Doetch, C. Ford and service agent, Dontrez Demby; along with the heads at the Warranty Company. I outlined the entire unresolved warranty repair issues, and that I would be contacting an attorney. NO ONE FROM APPLE RESPONDED...I did get the VP of Service with the Warranty Company to contact me immediately. I retained legal representation, and a letter went out to Apple Ford...that is when they started up communications with me again. Needless to say, Apple Ford service agent Dontrez Demby was VERY UNPROFESSIONAL in the manner in which this matter was initially handled and throughout the entire ordeal...he was VERY DISRESPECTFUL when he spoke with me on the phone with his supervisor, Curtis Ford on the line...to the point Mr. Ford had to intervene. The ONLY redeeming quality of Apple Ford is Curtis Ford, Service Manager who was professional and respectful in all of my encounters with him. Apple Ford NEEDS TO IMPROVE THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE ON SO MANY LEVELS...a customer should not have to retain legal representation to get warranty work completed on their vehicle in a timely manner. THIS NIGHTMARE COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED...THEY NEED TO HIRE TRUE AUTO PROFESSIONALS THAT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I will also report this entire ordeal to Lincoln...Apple Ford should not be representing their brand. PATRICIA WILLIAMS BRUNT More

Never again will I let them touch my truck again. I took it to them for a cam phaser recall and it ran like a slug afterwards. When I called to tell them there was a problem with it I was sent to voicemail it to them for a cam phaser recall and it ran like a slug afterwards. When I called to tell them there was a problem with it I was sent to voicemail and left a message. Nobody called me back. I call twice more and left messages. No call back. So I just scheduled to have it worked on and took a day off of work. The day they were supposed to work on it nobody’s called with a status. I called them to ask. No one knew a thing and said “Les” was going to call the next morning with an update. So I have to take another day off of work. I waited until 1pm and called them. I was told he was on lunch and he’ll call me when he gets back. 2pm no call back so I called them. Les says they are waiting for diagnostics to come back. They didn’t even start anything until day 2? What good was the appointment? They’ve had my truck for 2 days and haven’t even taken a look at it. They don’t care about customers at all. More

Lincoln Service Dept: steering seized on our 2014 Lincoln MKT. Apple was the closest Lincoln dealership. Donnie advised he could not look at for a week & suggested towing to a closer Lincoln service Lincoln MKT. Apple was the closest Lincoln dealership. Donnie advised he could not look at for a week & suggested towing to a closer Lincoln service place. A week passed, I called, he denied I brought the car in over a week ago. Told me it was my problem, not his. Accused me of screaming at him, & told me to have the car towed out of his service area. Adversarial attitude… not a good representative of Ford Lincoln. I have one star because they let us bring the car in after the steering seized & we had 150 more miles to drive to get home. Other than that, he never returned my calls during the last week. He also hung up on me when I asked to whom I was speaking to let him know my car was going to be towed to a closer dealership that would be looking at it within 2 days. More

Because I provided a less than stellar review, when my ins. called to ask about the written diagnoses I was provided, the dealership told USAA that what they provided me was not accurate. They even referenced my bad review while trying to convince USAA they really hadn't diagnosed anything. Run. Run far far away. More

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

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
