As the years passed and with the acquisitions of more franchises, Grieco Automotive Group was created to handle the company's growing automotive business.

I have owned numerous Ford trucks, and I needed to buy new key fobs for my current vehicle. This dealer sold me two fobs and said I needed to make an appointment to get them programmed. I was told the pro More

Grieco Ford of Fort Lauderdale responded

We understand your frustration. With today’s technology in all vehicles, keyless entry remote start, and many other features all manufacturers require Key fobs to be programmed and it requires that a skilled technician with both fobs and the vehicle present. Unfortunately, the time involved in this programming requires a charge from all manufacturers and it is a scheduled service as all services are these days. Please contact me at lizquierdo@griecocars.com if I can further assist in scheduling this for you.

Other Employees : Fergi salesmen started mess. Louis GM will not fix it and lied about refund
Apr 25, 2023 -

Grieco Ford of Fort Lauderdale responded

Mr. Luzzi I will again refer to your Credit Card company as your refund was processed by us on April 10, 2023. I have again emailed you a copy of your refund slip. We have already been charged for your refund, you will need to contact them as to why they have not posted to your account as you are the credit card holder, and they will not speak to anyone else because of privacy laws.

Luzzifrank responded

Once again the receipt only shows you ran the card, the proof is the transaction confirmation number from your merchant services. Why do you refuse to contact them for that confirmation? I've contacted Bank of America and put the charge in dispute and they have given me the credit. I'm not sure Louis as the GM why you don't know how this works, I guess incompetent sounds right. Maybe it was you who trained Fergi your sales guy on how to try and lie to Ford Motor Company about the x and a plans being the same? Looking forward to seeing what Ford does, now that they have all the text messages and emails showing what Fergi tried to do. I guess maybe I'll post them here.

Apr 25, 2023 -

Luzzifrank responded

I'll make a deal with you, contact your merchant and get the transaction confirmation number from them to my bank, once it's verified that it was done when you said I will remove all of my reviews even including the ones where you refused to honor the deal that Fergi made with me. Deal?

Apr 26, 2023 -

Luzzifrank responded

They still have not refunded the money. They want to say they did but my bank said no. Louis refuses to contact his merchant services and get a confirmation number of the refund. Eventually the money will be refunded to the bank and when it does I will post that information with the date as well as all emails between myself and all contacts I've been dealing with including Carmela who claimed to be part of the Grieco family. Her cell number is 401-487-5497.

Apr 27, 2023 -

Luzzifrank responded

Well Louis, Another day without the refund, I've offered you a deal that if you could show a confirmation number from your processing company to my bank I would delete all my negative reviews. You've chosen not to take the offer. Very sad, as I said before my bank has provided me a credit and has made me whole. Eventually you will have to refund the money to the bank, yet you seem to like getting bad reviews and comments and treat people like garbage. The company portrays they are 100% customer satisfaction, except if you screw them on a deal or you try and keep their deposit.

Hey Louis, I talked to Ronald today and schooled him on how a merchant service works and that he needed to contact them. He told me he would send email to the people in the office and ask them to follow up with the transaction of refunding my $1000.00 and that he would include me on the email. Unfortunately I did not receive any email. Tomorrow I will contact my bank and get a status on the dispute. I have not come down there yet, but trust me I will be paying a visit and expect to walk away with my money. I left you a voicemail, it seems you're afraid to talk to me, that's the behavior of guilty people. If I do have to come there I will create a scene and let the customers there all know what you've done to me.

We regret that you are having these issues with your new vehicle and understand the frustration you must be going thru, we cannot locate or identify your vehicle because of the limited information provided here. Please reach out to myself directly and I would personally escalate this issue to involve Ford engineers to resolve your issue.

Hi - I'm not sure who you are? There's no name on the response? Please leave your name here or you can look up my record in your system - my name is Adam, and I've brought a Black 2022 bronco in 3 times now - the last time being Friday Jan 20th. I'd like to connect you with the person at Ford I've been contacted by as well so that you two can figure out whatever needs to be figured out to get my car running properly. Thanks.

adam responded

I've now called the dealership at least 10 times over the past week and left several messages without receiving a call back from any of them. So far I've asked to speak to and have left messages for "the person responsible for responding to online reviews", the service dept manager, and even the general manager with no luck. Is there someone else I should be asking to speak to or leaving messages for?

Cancellations have processes and as long as vehicles are financed all funds get returned to the finance institution because they hold the interest on the vehicle till the loan is satisfied. The concern you opened with the FL Department of Financial Services has been satisfied and closed by the department as all regulatory steps were followed.

Thank you for expressing your concern about the High demand for this specialty vehicle and the extremely low supply of lightning, Bronco’s Raptors, and the process of reservations that have been placed by Ford for consumers to acquire these vehicles. note that you can always place and reservation or order a vehicle and they are fully available at MSRP. In those extreme few circumstances that some of these vehicles become immediately available, they do Carrie a premium. If we can assist you with an order or reservation please do not hesitate to contact us.
