You will be cheated, wronged and defrauded. After becoming interested in acquiring a 2016 Lincoln MKZ and communicating with a salesperson at Sam Packs Five Star Ford who facilitated previous sa After becoming interested in acquiring a 2016 Lincoln MKZ and communicating with a salesperson at Sam Packs Five Star Ford who facilitated previous sales (Kevin assisted in the transaction of a 2010 Ford Flex in 2012 and a 2002 Mercury Cougar), the request was referred to David McDavid Lincoln, specifically to Sales/Leasing Manager Ed Nogar. During the initial scheduling call to David McDavid Lincoln the specific question regarding upfront costs/fees was fielded to Ed Nogar who advised that the amount of $3000.00 will cover all costs/fees. Arriving at David McDavid Lincoln and meeting with Ed Nogar, who after having identified himself as the Leasing Manager and employed by David McDavid Lincoln for years conducting several hundred transactions, coupled with a long history of purchasing Mercury/Ford/Lincoln products established a comfortable rapport. A test drive of the subject vehicle was completed, a credit check was conducted and a fees sheet displaying blank spaces (rather than being populated with values) for fees totaling $3800.00, or close to a 30% increase in upfront costs was presented. Ed Nogar was unable to provide any information on the massive hike in fees not originating from credit issues as none were present. However, in order to continue on with the transaction the fees statement must be signed. Ed Nogar disclosed upon returning from dropping off the fees statement that it was David McDavid Lincoln’s policy to not charge any amounts over 3000.00 to a credit card and would only accept 3000.00 on a credit card as opposed to the full balance of 3800.00. Again with blinders on, a separate check for 800.00 was issued. Note: Hindsight being 20/20 one would assume to a certain degree/margin of safety that a tenured Leasing Manager with the levels of experience as Ed Nogar advertised would, or should know what the fees are simply from memory. Some months later the vehicle experienced a minor equipment failure one-half mile from the dealership and the Lincoln MKZ was driven to David McDavid Lincoln for service. Arriving at the dealership and explaining the problem, Ed Gusa , the parts manager, concluded that the part (the car had with less than three thousand miles on it at the time) may be unsalvageable. Inquiring as to the cost for the part, Ed Gusa the parts manager was unable to provide a cost for the part and began reviewing the MKZ. About 10 minutes later Ed Gusa advised after his review that the part cannot be salvaged and required replacement in addition a sensor “may have been damaged.” Ed Gusa the parts manager was however, able to assign a value for the sensor that may have been damaged at a cost of $95.00 plus labor. Out of curiosity as to how one would know if the sensor was damaged, as Ed Gusa did state “may have been damaged”, an inquiry was made. Ed Gusa responded that “a new part would be installed; the vehicle lowered to the ground, and if the dash light displayed then the sensor was damaged.” After explaining to Ed Gusa that it is considered in poor taste to assume something is broken and to bill in advance without performing a reasonable level of due diligence and research, to please, install the new part, lower the vehicle to the ground, and if the dash light displays then install the replacement sensor. Ed Gusa responded in the affirmative and added that an additional fee of $21.95 to press the button on the lift a second time and raise the car back up if the dash light displayed would be incurred and was agreed too. Transitioning to the service bay to observe, technicians, standing in front of the MKZ between myself and the technician installing the new part obscured the view to the point that a constant shuffle from left to right to ensure an unobstructed view resulted. The part was installed, the car was lowered and as luck would have it the dash light did not display. Following the tech back into the service office from a distance of about fifteen feet, Ed Gusa asked the tech if the dash light displayed. The tech responded “No” and mumbled something else but cannot be sure what was said. The car was washed; a bill was presented and paid. A request for the damaged part to be returned was replied with a “we don’t know where it is” response from Ed Gusa. Escorting Ed Gusa to the drive thru area and explaining that the vehicle did have another issue, the question of what to do was fielded. Ed agreed to address the issue during the vehicles first service visit which normally occurs between 5000 to 7500 miles. At the time of the incident the vehicle displayed less than 3000 miles. Doing some quick math it was determined that the first service visit would be around July or August depending upon use which was/is being averaged at 750 to 800 miles per month. A few days later a survey from David McDavid Lincoln was submitted for attention, stated facts of the experience were penned and submitted to David McDavid Lincoln for review. Receiving a call from John in the used cars division of David McDavid Lincoln (another Lincoln Employee who refused to give his last) name two days later the take aways from the visit were discussed. John in Used Cars (another Lincoln Employee who refused to give a last name) agreed to submit a check request for the cost of the part (I requested a replacement part instead), order the materials to fix the second issue discussed with Ed Gusa during the initial visit and reach out in a few days to set up a time to come in and get the issue resolved. Another survey was received and again it was replied to stating the facts of the initial visit with a request to go to another dealership for the repairs. It was dead silence for weeks after that. Fielding some follow up calls to David McDavid Lincoln approximately 3 weeks later, a message inquiring about the part was left. From that point on all calls were transferred to Service and placed on hold for extended periods. Inquiring as to the issue at hand the receptionist expressed that she was just doing as she was told by her supervisor the New cars Sales Manager Darrick Thompson. Demanding to speak to the dealership manager who was not and never available; resulted in a transfer to a leasing agent. Explaining the situation to the leasing agent (my leasing agent was never available to take calls and not responsive to any emails to date) it was expressed that someone will reach out. The next day, a call on a blocked cell was received originating from John Keith who claimed to be the Operations Manager for David McDavid Lincoln. John Keith operations manager explained that after conferring with his “Ford Guy” (John Keith refused to give me the name of the Ford Guy) the repair can be done at other Lincoln dealerships. It was also stated to not bring the MKZ to David McDavid Lincoln for regular maintenance as his “service guys won’t touch the car, not even for an oil change.” As all calls are recorded in compliance with Texas one party rule the statement from John Keith operations manager is considered true and accurate and perhaps as a formal dissolution of the Maintenance Covent with David McDavid Lincoln. Calling another Lincoln dealership, speaking to and explaining the situation to a service technician, the replacement part was ordered and an appointment was set up a few days later. The dealership twenty miles away, had the repair and complementary maintenance completed in under an hour. A demand for a draft from Lincoln Motor Corp expressing that David McDavid Lincoln had dissolved the maintenance convent (so far as they were concerned) was made without response. However, communication from Heather (another Lincoln Employee who refused to give her last name) at Lincoln Motors explaining that the MKZ can be serviced at local Ford dealerships was welcomed news. Receiving a call from Rosa at Lincoln Executive services (another Lincoln Employee who refused to give her last name) and after a 30 minute conversation expressing the issues with David McDavid Lincoln resulted in the statement of fact that David McDavid Lincoln is not a franchise owned by Lincoln Motors and there is nothing Lincoln Motors can or will do, and nothing Lincoln can or will provide in writing stating the same, nor will Lincoln Motor provide me a copy of the lease agreement in spite of several requests and advising me to get it from David McDavid instead. More recently my wife has been receiving calls from David McDavid Lincoln asking to speak to me and when she informs the caller to hang on, the phone hangs up. I called David McDavid Lincoln, left a message and emailed my leasing contact Ed Nogar without any type of return, not sure what that is all about, but can deduce that David McDavid is “covering themselves.” I continue to receive invites from David McDavid to come over for maintenance; however, after the conversation with John Keith the operations manager I am confused, can I go to David McDavid or continue to go to another dealership? I am unable to get either Lincoln Motors Corp or David McDavid Lincoln to supply me with any leasing agreements for review and as I do not have one, I am presently stumped. If anyone has a suggestion, or someone I can speak knowledgeable in matters such as these please respond to this posting with contact information. Having reviewed several posts I would be willing act legally against these bullies but would appreciate support from other victims. More
HORRIBLE and SO SLOW The GM( Will Palasota) here is great. He actually took the time out to call me in order to clear up a misunderstanding. I really admire him for doing The GM( Will Palasota) here is great. He actually took the time out to call me in order to clear up a misunderstanding. I really admire him for doing that. However, I've come to find out that the Service at this location really does suck! I've been riding around with moldings that has hail damage since I purchased the car in May. Here it is November and I hadn't received a phone call to let me know if the part had arrived, so I drove up there all to find out that they'd been having the part for months and hadn't called me. HORRIBLE! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!! More
Service Center has terrible customer service and work I highly recommend that you do not go to David McDavid Lincoln of Plano. The customer service and bodywork performed is TERRIBLE. I was sent to Da I highly recommend that you do not go to David McDavid Lincoln of Plano. The customer service and bodywork performed is TERRIBLE. I was sent to David McDavid of Plano due to a paint recall and for a body work to be performed. They over buffed and burnt the paint off the right side of my door and poorly applied paint to the left door, resulting in bubbling. I was told I would get a loaner car in three days. After two weeks and getting no call back from the manager, I was finally given a loaner car that had a flat tire. I was instructed to take care of it; discount tire told me all four tires needed to be replaced. Towards the end, Trent, an employee there, told me I could drive on an expired registration as long as I told the police the car was not mine, but a loaner. When I explained my father was a police officer and this was wrong, he told me he could not get the car inspected then and I could either drive with the registration expired or I could take my unfinished car. They are unreliable and do not keep to their word. After two weeks, Dominic Caranfa called both my father and I to tell us separately the service previously performed was "shautty" and he was "embarrassed the car ever left the lot". He told us he was going to have the whole car repainted and panel replaced, adding on another month for this work to be done. Some time during the month my car was "getting painted," Dominic left. I was informed of this when I came back after six weeks and noticed that the only thing done to my car was the right door being repainted. Neither Trent nor the manager, Casey Moreland, would keep to what I was told by Dominic and were extremely rude throughout the whole entire process. They could have cared less about what I was told. They are very disorganized. Apparently there was no paperwork for the intended work to be performed. If there was, they didn't inform me. When I went to get something out of my car, we spent 30 minutes looking for it on the lot because they couldn't find it. They spent an additional 15 minutes trying to find my keys. The customer service is terrible from the employees to the manager. They do not return phone calls even when they say they will. I got one apology the whole entire time, at the very end when I was picking up my unfinished car. The service is awful. They did not paint my car correctly in the first place. It took six weeks to paint one door. According to Dominic, there were a lot more things wrong to my car then what I had initially brought to their attention. To top things off, I left the lot and noticed my right mirror was facing downwards. Within a mile my whole entire mirror fell out. I have never had problems with this mirror before. I hope this serves to help people out on their search to get service performed on their car. I would hate for anyone else to have to go through what I did or deal with people who are unwilling to help. More

A fantastic car buying experience I worked with Susan Najjar to purchase a certified pre owned Lincoln MKZ. This was possibly the best car buying experience I have ever had at any dea I worked with Susan Najjar to purchase a certified pre owned Lincoln MKZ. This was possibly the best car buying experience I have ever had at any dealer. She was knowledgeable, eager to make sure that I was pleased with the car and so pleasant that I am sure I will be a repeat customer. There is no mystery why she can barely fit all of her sales awards into her office! More
Best service ever received from a dealership. I was in the Dallas area visiting family and my air conditioner went out in my Navigator. A quick google search led me to David McDavid's Lincoln dea I was in the Dallas area visiting family and my air conditioner went out in my Navigator. A quick google search led me to David McDavid's Lincoln dealership. The friendly, helpful attitude from Richard Ancheta in the service department was amazing. Equally as amazing was how quickly the problem was diagnosed and repaired. If this problem had happened at home the dealership there would have kept my car at least two weeks. In the future I will drive the 350 miles to have my car serviced at David McDavid, and I will definitely buy my next Lincoln from this service oriented dealership! More
Leasing at David McDavid Lincoln We have leased about 10 cars (or more) from David McDavid over the years. We continually return because they are so easy to deal with. Our salesman We have leased about 10 cars (or more) from David McDavid over the years. We continually return because they are so easy to deal with. Our salesman is very accommodating and assures we get the exact car and equipment we want. We have used David Wallace for all of our purchases (leases). He makes sure the process is easy and the transaction is completed in minimal time. We lease because it forces us to get a new car about every three years. More
Purchaser from Louisiana. Due to the high volume of vehicles and choices in the Dallas area I have always wanted to try to purchase a vehicle in Texas but have always hesitated Due to the high volume of vehicles and choices in the Dallas area I have always wanted to try to purchase a vehicle in Texas but have always hesitated because I felt that taxes and registration would be a Hassel. Here, it was the exact same as the purchases I have made in state, they handled everything. Found what I wanted on the Internet, sent pictures of my vehicle and we worked a deal on the phone. Got approved on line. Drove over signed the papers and drove it back. Great job David McDavid and Susan Najjar. More
Kansas Racehorse We drove 375 miles to buy from John Woodard at McDavid's because they gave a much better deal than we could get anywhere else within that distance. We We drove 375 miles to buy from John Woodard at McDavid's because they gave a much better deal than we could get anywhere else within that distance. We always like to buy locally but there was just too much difference in price. Once we got to the dealership, everything was just as promised right down to the pin-striping (that they painted on). I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new Lincoln. Facility is super clean and makes any short wait enjoyable. These guys want to sell vehicles. They must make their profit on volume sales. It sure wasn't by selling us our new MKC for what they did. If you're shopping for a new Lincoln, McDavid's is the place you need to go! More
