Lack of Communication and Poor Customer Service I recently had my 2019 Ford F-350 Lariat into Kendall Ford Anchorage to diagnose some drivetrain noise. I had high expectations as my recent visits to I recently had my 2019 Ford F-350 Lariat into Kendall Ford Anchorage to diagnose some drivetrain noise. I had high expectations as my recent visits to the Kendall Ford Anchorage Quick Lane for routine maintenance had been absolutely spectacular. I dropped my vehicle off for my 7:30am appointment on Monday 1/13/20. My service adviser was polite, courteous, and helpful. He told me that the technicians would look at my truck and he would call me later that day to update me on the findings and any necessary next steps. By 4pm Monday I had not been contacted. I called my service adviser’s direct phone line and left a voicemail. By 5pm that voicemail had not been returned, so I called the main service department phone number and requested to speak to my service adviser. After being placed on hold for approximately 20 minutes, I was able to speak with my service adviser. He informed me that my vehicle wasn’t able to be looked at that day and would need to stay overnight. I noted that this was an unfortunate but understandable situation. He assured me that my vehicle would be looked at first thing Tuesday (1/14/20) morning and he would immediately call me with an update. I was not contacted by my service adviser on Tuesday. At 5pm that day I called my service adviser’s direct phone line and left a voicemail. That voicemail was never returned. I again called my service adviser’s direct phone line at 7:45am on Wednesday 1/15/20. I was able to speak with him and he informed me that the service technician needed to assess my vehicle again to verify the diagnosis, it would be looked at that morning, and he would call me to provide me with an update. I received no calls from my service adviser by the close of business on Wednesday. Having not heard from my service adviser, I went to Kendall Ford Anchorage around 8:30am on Thursday 1/16/20 to retrieve my truck. A satisfactory diagnosis for the drivetrain noise was provided when I arrived. I inquired of my service adviser as to why no attempts were made to contact me and provide me information on my vehicle or updates on the status of the service. He was apologetic and stated that the level of service I received was unacceptable. He said the fault was entirely his. I appreciated his candor and acceptance of fault, but he provided no explanation for the poor communication. Based on this experience, it appears that Kendall Ford Anchorage has significant and serious issues regarding communication between service advisers and their customers. At no time during the four-day period did my service adviser or anyone at Kendall Ford Anchorage initiate contact with me or return my phone calls. I sincerely hope that this frustrating experience was simply a one-off and that Kendall Ford Anchorage can demonstrate satisfactory customer service in the future. However, I was just notified of a safety recall on my vehicle and I must admit that I am simply dreading another service appointment with Kendall Ford Anchorage. More
Disappointed I have been spoiled by Kendall Toyota the past few years.

When I decided to get a new pick up, I started to buy from them, but I really wanted the Ford F-150. Since Ford was owned by the same company, I assumed that the service would be the same. NOT SO. The Ford place is the definition of customer no service. I like the truck but not the dealership. More
Lack of service technicians For the second time since purchasing our 2016 Lincoln MK-X, we have needed service. The first issue was faulty sensors that were causing a fault in t For the second time since purchasing our 2016 Lincoln MK-X, we have needed service. The first issue was faulty sensors that were causing a fault in the dash and not working as they were supposed to. We attempted to schedule an appointment and were told that they were booked out for the next six weeks. So, we were to wait six weeks to have a potentially unsafe condition addressed. In this case, I expressed my shock and surprise at the wait time and they did manage to find a day sooner, although it still took several weeks for them to get the parts and install them. Now, we have a faulty camera on the front of the vehicle that also affects the collision avoidance feature, so another potential safety feature not working properly. In this case, we called on January 13, and are told that the first available appointment is March 26. So, we have to wait 2 1/2 months for service. This is what we get for living in a town where one company has the monopoly on Ford service. So, we will be car shopping tomorrow for a vehicle that can get serviced in Anchorage, Alaska. More

I took my car at 8:00 to see what was wrong with my car. I was early to my appointment. Around 12 I called them to get a update for my car. I was told that Tiana was going to give me a call when she was abl I was early to my appointment. Around 12 I called them to get a update for my car. I was told that Tiana was going to give me a call when she was able to. I never received that call. I called 2 hours later. I was told that my car isn’t been touch and that they may have to keep it over night. Why are you having people set up appointment if you’re not going to honor it. I expect that a Chain Dealership would have better customer service. I wouldn’t be mad if they would of had the courtesy to call me and tell me what going on. I was respectful to both manager that I talked to. Did you think that they would even try to smooth things over. Nope that didn’t even happened. This is not the first time that my car was sent there for maintenance and it didn’t happen. If you don’t have respect for the military then you don’t have much respect for anyone else. I think that they feel a type entitlement because they’re the only ford dealership in town. So now I have two issues that wasn’t addressed because they don’t care about the people. They only care about themselves. So heave my warning don’t bring your car here. The manager are terrible. The service department is terrible. More
Manufacturer recall Although there were a couple of miner issues, the service team was very courteous and professional. One example; there was an issue with the parts. Th Although there were a couple of miner issues, the service team was very courteous and professional. One example; there was an issue with the parts. The repair was taking longer than initially anticipated, so they authorized a complimentary rental for me while i waited. This shows me that, despite some negative reviews, these folks do care and were willing to make sure that both my vehicle and I were taken care of. More
Clint was the nicest sales guy I’ve ever had!! He listened to everything I said and took the time to answer all of my questions during the entire process.
