Terrible experience. Tons of runarounds, extremely slow. Finally given a bait-and-switch at the very end of the buying process, after I presented them with a Zag guaranteed price certificate which they said Finally given a bait-and-switch at the very end of the buying process, after I presented them with a Zag guaranteed price certificate which they said they'd honor at first for the new Ford I was interested in, then switched me to another manager who turned it down. Dirty, dirty, dirty. Dishonest sales managers. Salesman was ok, but lost. Total waste of half a day. I will never, EVER have anything to do with them again, and I'm going to get them blacklisted with Zag and the Better Business Bureau. More
Extremely friendly and courteous going above and beyond with help. Stayed on top of our issue and called to give update.

Helped on the phone with a problem I was having with Sync that turned out to be a problem with my Blackberry battery that even the Sync customer service people didn't even think of and he fixed the problem. I will definitely come back again and ask for Isaac. More
We had trouble with the Sync which wouldn't work with our iPhones. We took the car in several times but the problem wasn't resolved. Finally they brought the same vehilce with a working iPhone on Sync to m iPhones. We took the car in several times but the problem wasn't resolved. Finally they brought the same vehilce with a working iPhone on Sync to my house with two technicians to compare what was happening to resolve the problem. They were there for an hour and got the Sync system working at this point but their willingness to come to my house with their friendly manner demonstrated top notch service. More
This was just a periodic routine maintenence visit. Once I had made this appointment (via telephone--see below), I received ample electronic reminders in advance, via both e-mail and voicemail. I elected t I had made this appointment (via telephone--see below), I received ample electronic reminders in advance, via both e-mail and voicemail. I elected to wait, rather than return later, because, based on past experience, I expected the work to be performed quickly, and it was. (Total elapsed time from dropoff to release and driveoff was only 1 hour and 34 minutes.) My discount coupon for "The Works" was honored immediately and without question. Conversely, there is a significant problem with their website. I was unable to book this appointment on-line because the service subsystem blacks out all days of the current week, i.e., you can't book a service appointment sooner than at least one week out. Also, the dealer-specific coupons offered on-line all had expiration dates of January 31. Thus, they were useless to customers trying to book an appointment on January 30 for a date in February. I mentioned all this to Service Advisor John Kiernan, who seemed unpleasantly surprised about it. Whether he conveyed this to the Service Manager and/or Database Manager I have no idea. Regardless, this type of customer-unfriendly website design flaw is extremely counterpoductive and offputting. It needs to be fixed forthwith. More
Bad. Super suck. Dont go there. Sales person was NOT helpful. They gave me another. I purchased a used car that needed minimal paint retouching. It took over a week. You can never get anyone on the ph helpful. They gave me another. I purchased a used car that needed minimal paint retouching. It took over a week. You can never get anyone on the phone there.

Simply the worst service department I have ever been to in my entire life. Despite of the many negative online reviews of Lindsay Ford I unwisely decided to bring my car here anyway because the location in my entire life. Despite of the many negative online reviews of Lindsay Ford I unwisely decided to bring my car here anyway because the location was convenient. What a huge mistake. In my 25 years of owning cars I can honestly say that this is the WORST automobile service center that I have ever been to. Another online review I read called this service department extremely rude, unhelpful, and unprofessional. I can confirm that from firsthand experience. This place is so bad that I am absolutely amazed that it remains in business. I would never bring my car back here even if it were the only service station within 100 miles (PS to the owners of Lindsay, it is not). More
This was the most horrific car dealer experience I've ever had. I went in a test drove a Ford Fusion, gave my credit information and since it was late and I needed to bring in some materials I said I wou ever had. I went in a test drove a Ford Fusion, gave my credit information and since it was late and I needed to bring in some materials I said I would come back later in the week. The next day I wanted to make sure I was bringing in the right materials and I emailed the salesman and he has YET to get back to me. Then I went up there and he wasn't there and his cell phone was off and no one could get in touch with him. I have still yet to hear from him. I called and spoke to the general manager and he got an attitude about me complaining. I would never, ever buy a Ford simply because this dealer has left a bad taste in my mouth. Go to Herb Gordon instead! More
I like these guys because they are friendly and they do a decent job on routine maintenance, but last year, when my 2002 ford taurus mysteriously began flooding -- after a heavy rain the right side floor, bo decent job on routine maintenance, but last year, when my 2002 ford taurus mysteriously began flooding -- after a heavy rain the right side floor, both front & back, was sopping wet, I took it into the dealer. My carpets were so wet that I had a sopping wet towel on the back floor, to soak up the rainwater. I told Oliver about the problem; I emphasized to him that sometimes the front seat passenger side floor was wet, but when I parked the car on a slight uphill (my driveway has a slight uphill), the rear passenger side floor was wet. I was very clear about this. When I came to pick up the car Oliver informed me that the carpet had been dried and that there were no door leaks. I thanked him and drove home. I was in a rush so I didn't actually check the carpet. When I got home I found out that the front seat passenger side floor carpet was dry -- but my sopping wet towel on the back seat floor was still there! I was outraged! How could they have possibly checked my carpets without noticing a sopping wet towel on the back floor? There's no way they would have removed the towel and then replaced it. Ugh. It was so exasperating. I had to go back THREE times to get this dealt with. They couldn't solve the problem the second time either, but by the time I showed up a third time -- Ford had issued a service bulletin saying there was a problem with the 'rain hat' a seal that goes under the windshield. They fixed the problem -- I think, because at least once since then the floor has gotten damp, and I"m pretty sure I didn't spill a drink there.<br><br>Anyway, the bottom line is this. Oliver claimed that I never told him about the rear floor. I know I did. Even if for some reason he didn't hear me -- who would check only one part of a floor when a leak is involved? Also it took me three times! to get this fixed. And I did not receive an apology.<br><br>If you have to go to this dealer to get warranty service, do it, but avoid Oliver. Better yet, if you have anything that's complicated, put it in writing, and have them staple it to their service papers. That way they can't claim that you never told them the full nature of the problem.<br><br><br> More
