I purchased my Maverick XL from Empire Ford on April 10, 2024. Tristan Kennedy was the sales representative I dealt with. He was friendly, courteous and very easy to work with. He was truthful and gave me t 2024. Tristan Kennedy was the sales representative I dealt with. He was friendly, courteous and very easy to work with. He was truthful and gave me the best deal available. He also worked with the banking and got me the lowest interest rate available. He added a bed liner to the deal without any extra cost. It was a perfect storm deal with no xxxx- ups or surprises. I love the vehicle. It is very quiet running. It is easy to get in and out of the vehicle. It has quick acceleration on exiting and entering off the interstate. It is roomy and adequately meets my needs. Great vehicle and Empire Ford is a great place to do business if anyone is in need of a vehicle. More
I purchased a pre-owned 2022 Tacoma back on March 9th. The purchase went smooth, and I was initially satisfied.

Fast forward to today, the truck has clearly sustained damage to the top of the cab that wasn't visible on a rainy/hazy day when I walked around inspecting the truck and eventually purchased it. Once I got the truck home, I took it to get the windows tinted the next day, the shop pointed out a dent over the left rear window that I had not noticed. I notified Empire, at first, they were reluctant to help, but I was able to prove the dent was preexisting from the lot pictures. So, they sent me to their dent guy to get the dent repaired. All well and good, or so I thought. On March 25th I was walking down the stairs to my garage and looked atop the cab. There were 3 more visible wrinkles/dents in the top of the truck. I reached out to Empire again and was told to use their dent guy but would likely have to pay out of pocket for the repair. Today 4.16.24 I take the truck through the car wash for the first time. As I am exiting the dryer/blower pushed in the top of the cab with roughly a 2' circumference and 2" deep. I was able to push the dent back but it is now evident that the truck had sustained some type of damage to the cab and has bent a support brace that would have prevented the cabs skin from buckling under the pressure of the dryer (I have video evidence of this happening). I call the dealership to speak with my sales rep Sammy Hayton, I give him the rundown on what happened, he says let me reach out and see if there is anything we can do. I thought great they might help remedy this since they were initially willing to fix the damage visible in the lot photos. Wrong, he comes back with there is nothing they can do. He then mentioned the Carfax was clean and went on to say they weren't aware of ANY damage and would have informed me if they knew. Ironically enough he contradicted himself, when the sales rep sent me to their dent guy, he mentioned they had already done some work on the truck. I take the truck to the dent guy, he commented he already had to repair damage to the truck. It is evident that the dealership was aware of damage done to the vehicle and limited the information they disclosed. Looking over the truck in depth with a master collision and body work guy today he confirmed that the top of the truck had previous damage that was evident by the wrinkles and dents on the top of the cab, he stated the support structure was likely pushed in at some point. Essentially the skin on the cab has no support, which is why the dryer buckled it. I traded in an almost pristine vehicle only to be lied to about what I was driving off the lot. They were clearly aware of the damage, tried to conceal it, lied about it, then refused to help make it right. As I'm typing this, I received a call from Sammy Hayton saying he spoke with his managers, and both say that there is nothing they can do. Empire has now left the impression on me of being nothing more than another shady dealership chasing that $$$. Customer satisfaction is apparently at the bottom of their work ethic. Lack of disclosure and shady dealings continue to trump all in the car sales industry. Well done Empire Ford Lincoln, you took what was initially a great business dealing and quickly let it go sour due to your lack of disclosure and the attempt at playing ignorant to conceal the damage you knew was there. My advice to those shopping for new or used vehicles, avoid Empire. (Disclosure - Sammy was great to work with. He helped where he could so this is not on him. He likely was unaware of the damage. This falls on management.) More
