Bellingham Ford Lincoln - Service Center

I went in to get a complimentary oil change based on having previously had the number of oil changes they said would earn a free oil change. The “free “ oil change cost me $79 as they cancelled the offe having previously had the number of oil changes they said would earn a free oil change. The “free “ oil change cost me $79 as they cancelled the offer with no notification or explanation. I’m not sure if this is the right dealership for me to purchase my next vehicle from. I don’t like feeling cheated. More

I have been buying my vehicles at Diehl Ford since I was 18 years old. This was my first and last purchase under the new ownership of Bellingham Ford Lincoln. Clearly you care nothing for your customers and 18 years old. This was my first and last purchase under the new ownership of Bellingham Ford Lincoln. Clearly you care nothing for your customers and instead of being family we are now only a number to you. I have never been treated so poorly by a company in my entire life. This purchasing experience was a nightmare from day one. I can’t believe that it took SIX weeks for your company to complete this transaction with me. At every turn I was treated as an inconvenience, had to initiate every step myself, was never contacted via phone unless I initiated the call, and was generally given the runaround the entire time. Your salesman Jeff was sarcastic and rude throughout our entire interaction. While I understand the process was complicated by my being out of state and serving with the Army in North Carolina, that doesn’t excuse the lengthy and quite frankly, negligent nature of this transaction. It is not acceptable to tell a customer that “if you were here, you would be able to get in line to see our finance manager.” At the moment I said I wanted to purchase my truck, I should have been placed in line, virtual or not. My file should have been handled as if I were standing there. I should never have had to wait 3-4 days between each step of the process. Your staff even went so far as to claim that my paperwork didn’t arrive until a certain day when the tracking showed it delivered 5 days earlier: Interestingly enough, your staff managed to mark the truck as “sold” in the system thus starting the Sirius XM trial membership immediately, but couldn’t process my paperwork, return my calls or prepare the truck for pickup. When my proxy went to get the truck, the debacle continued with there only being one set of keys provided. When pushed for a second set of keys, Jeff became hostile, and Julian informed us he would “just cancel the entire transaction,” even though the truck had been paid for, cash outright, for over a week. We were then told we could not have two sets of keys because it “wasn’t on the sales contract.” In actuality, no keys were listed on the contract, and I have NEVER purchased a vehicle with only one set of keys, and you would think that at $29,950 for a USED 2014 truck and a transaction that took over SIX WEEKS you could at least offer this courtesy. Adding insult to injury my father was “mysteriously” no longer needed to work at this company with one day notice during this time. Odd, since immediately prior to the start of this transaction he was praised on your Facebook page as such a valued member of your staff. He worked there over 40 years, and this was my 6th vehicle purchase. Apparently loyalty has no place in the new management of Bellingham Ford Lincoln. You made incredibly easy to have no qualms about taking my business elsewhere in the future. More
