Cortese Ford Lincoln

Satisfied Customer I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Cortese Ford and my sales representative Jack Hawes. I was looking to purchase a 2018 For I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Cortese Ford and my sales representative Jack Hawes. I was looking to purchase a 2018 Ford Edge and found a wide selection of vehicles to choose from. Found the vehicle I wanted, test drove and began negotiating a deal. Jack provided me with information on available rebates, financing and lease options that would work within my budget. Jack worked on my behalf with the sales manager and came up with a great lease deal that I was very comfortable with. Jack handled all the paperwork and delivered the vehicle as promised 2 days later. No problems. Overall, this was a pleasant experience and I would highly recommend the dealership and Jack Hawes to prospective buyers. More

A terrible sales experience Thank you for asking me for my feedback regarding my auto purchase at Cortese Ford. I have been a Ford owner and a service customer at Cortese for cl Thank you for asking me for my feedback regarding my auto purchase at Cortese Ford. I have been a Ford owner and a service customer at Cortese for close to 15-years. But actually, I was unable to buy a car from Cortese. More accurately, I THOUGHT that I did buy a car. I signed papers and placed a deposit. Please read the notes below… I have been in business in Rochester for close to 40-years and have never been treated in such a degrading manner as I was at Cortese Ford. I appreciate the opportunity to let John Cortese know the details of my experience. It started as expected. The salesman, Burt and I negotiated a deal in good faith. When I arrived, Burt introduced me to a specific vehicle. The vehicle matched my needs and was the vehicle that Cortese wanted to sell. We drove the vehicle. Burt kept asking if I liked the vehicle…Would I buy this vehicle? He qualified me. I came in with an extremely high credit score. I was upfront about what I wanted to spend. We negotiated, we negotiated and we negotiated…for 2-1/2 hours! Burt consulted with managers at the “secret” window 4-different times while I waited patiently. Two different people looked at and drove my vehicle 2-different times. Each time that Burt came back to the table he gently raised the price to me or changed the terms. He introduced me to different finance deals. Finally, we agreed. We worked together until we had a deal. Blessed by the sales managers. Approved by managers. All good. Smiles and laughs all around. Then Burt shook my hand, took my signatures and took my money. At any point, someone could have said that we couldn’t work it out. That would have been ok. But nobody did. I was promised me delivery the next day. Boy was I excited. I cleaned out and vacuumed the car. I wiped out the Sirius radio and my Bluetooth phone. I scraped off the car wash sticker and the sticker to my daughter’s college. I rushed to two banks to make certain that you had the papers you needed. Nobody said a word. On Saturday, I sat patiently again for another hour in the showroom and talked with the other sales guys AND the managers at the window while Burt finished up with another customer. Another hour… happily waiting for the car. Sitting in the showroom. Still nobody said a word. Then Burt said “follow me” and I followed him into the finance office with my checkbook in hand. Ready to finish the deal and to buy an extended warranty. Burt left. He left me with the finance guy and the sales manager who told me that the deal couldn’t happen. Somebody screwed up. No counter offer was made. They just couldn’t sell me the car because the deal wasn’t right. I asked that they bring Burt in the room. Conveniently, he wasn’t available. I never asked the dealer what bank they were financing through or the rate. I never suggested my bank or my rates. If Cortese needed to make a point or a point and a half on the loan... I was fine with it. I was fine with the deal that they designed and that they approved. THEIR deal. But instead I was dismissed to walk out. Dismissed. After 15-years as a loyal service customer. Never questioning repair work on any of my vehicles. After buying lunch for all the service writers on different occasions...or donuts in the morning when I had a service appointment. Ask them. I enjoyed every service encounter. But to be dismissed from the sales area like my time was meaningless... to be flipped on a deal, like the hours we spent test driving and negotiating in good faith were unimportant? Unimportant? Maybe to the salespeople at Cortese. I can tell you that in all the time that I have been in business, in all the negotiations that I have brokered, in all the hands that I shook at the end of a deal, I ended all of them in good faith and with honesty and integrity. If I ever let a customer down, I made good on it...personally. The Cortese people did not. John Cortese should be embarrassed by the actions of his sales manager and of Burt Lyon. At any time, they could have called me and cancelled the deal and saved me the wasted time and embarrassment of driving back and sitting in the showroom for nothing. I just can’t get this experience out of my head. There is more to this than just me not buying a car. I can’t go back to the place that I trusted and was most comfortable with for service. John Cortese should know. And frankly, John Cortese should care. Because Burt and the others represent John Cortese...his name on the building and his name in this community. It’s not entirely about the car. It’s about the Cortese name and yeah, maybe it’s a little bit about my pride. I’d like to know where I go to get that back. More
