I bought a Ford Maverick on 9/20/2024 at Elder Ford. My salesperson was Ernesto Ricardo. After the sale is finalized I was told by the finance specialist who did the paper work for me to get my Maverick certified at a local DMV. I never experienced this before and I have bought several new cars in my life. So I asked my sales person Ernesto to go with me to the DMV ; at that time it was 4pm and Ernesto said he could not go with me even though he told me he's off work at 6pm that day and he seems to have nothing to do at the moment. He said he is obligated to fill my Maverick with a full tank of gas so he and I drove to a gas station nearby. He did not know how to open the gas tank cap on my new vehicle so he casually try to crank the cap open with one of his keys in his pocket. I stopped him as I didn't want to damage my gas tank cap. We eventually found the correct way to open the gas tank cap inside the truck cockpit. Ernesto did not teach me how to operate the truck ie all the buttons inside the truck etc especially the infotainment screen with different functions. I had to remind him to do it. I felt as if after the sale they didn't care about me anymore and left me orphaned. Atter almost one month I contacted the dealer to check if they had submit my registration paperwork to DMV and I had a hard time contacting them by phone because they put me on hold almost forever without answering the phone. It seems the dealership is vacant as they put caller on hold forever. Cheyenne Lightfoot was helpful to me, she reply my texts and help me with my needs ie getting the temporary plate to me among other things so I would like to give her good rating. I would be on extra guard if I have to deal with this dealership again. I certainly will not recommend this dealership to my friend and family.
