I have purchased several vehicles over the past 10 years from Maxwell Ford. During this 10 year relationship, I have always been treated with the utmost courtesy and professionalism. Additionally, when it from Maxwell Ford. During this 10 year relationship, I have always been treated with the utmost courtesy and professionalism. Additionally, when it appeared that it would be next to impossible to make a deal, Greg made it work. I have had vehicles serviced with no problems. I have also had a Ranger Truck repaired in the body shop with excellent results. The whole staff are patient, dedicated and knowledgeable regarding Ford products, financing alternatives, and work with the utmost in integrity in closing a deal. I would recommend anyone that I know, including family members to Maxwell. Why else would I continue to go back again and again over the last 10 years? Good deals, great friends and dependable products. Sincerely, Blane2 More
Wow, I wish I would have read this before I wasted 4 hours of my life trying to make a deal with these people. So much lying and deceipt - it was terrible. Two things should have tipped me off and I w hours of my life trying to make a deal with these people. So much lying and deceipt - it was terrible. Two things should have tipped me off and I was stupid enough not to stop right then: Unwilling to give me a price over the phone, and then when I got there, they pulled out the 4-square scam. After 4 hours, they wore me down and I was ready to make a deal - but it just didn't feel right - they were really scamming me on the trade-in and the financing. Just about then a salesman from Covert gave me a call and over the phone offered me a much better deal. I took off when to the other dealership bought the vehicle and got much better financing. Just to be fair - it seemed to me that Clem, the salesman, was a fairly nice fellow. I think the corrupt behavior was more in the management layers of the dealership. More
Went to dealership to trade 2004 Ford Vehicle in for a new Ford Vehicle. I found a vehicle and completed application and all related paperwork prelimiary to contract. It was late (after 8 pm on a Saturd new Ford Vehicle. I found a vehicle and completed application and all related paperwork prelimiary to contract. It was late (after 8 pm on a Saturday), so I was told that they would contact me on Monday to finalize deal. I called and emailed several times with no response. This is a total lack of accountability and professionalism that is unacceptable. I purchased my current vehicle from Maxwell and had it serviced there, and I did not expect to encounter such poor customer service. I definately deserved a return phone call even if they were unable to follow through with the deal that was negotiated. I even sent an email to management and did not receive a response. It has been a week now, so there is no doubt that I will not be receiving a return phone call or response to my email messages. That is unacceptable customer service and a total insult to my integrity as a person. I would not recommend this dealer to anyone. More
Took vehicle in twice. The first time, I was told the motors in two of my windows were bad. I only had them fix the drivers side. Although the other one was not fixed, it was never broken and still wor motors in two of my windows were bad. I only had them fix the drivers side. Although the other one was not fixed, it was never broken and still works. They wanted to charge me an extra $300 for something that was not broken. The second time (within 2 weeks), my car was not accelerating. I took it into the shop and it was "diagnosed" as having no compression in one of the motors cylinders. I was told that I had to either have the engine opened or the whole engine replaced (2004 Ford Explorer) at a cost of $4-6 thousand dollars. I called a recommended shop and the mechanic told me over the phone that it sounded like a broken $8 exhaust spring valve, which it turned out to be. Total cost was less than $600. Maxwell tried to offer me $4000 for my "broken" vehicle. (Trade in is at over $12000) More
Worst service ever. I understand that intermittent problems can be difficult to track down. The mechanic is not at fault. But to be lied to by the Service Advisor multiple times in totally unaccepta problems can be difficult to track down. The mechanic is not at fault. But to be lied to by the Service Advisor multiple times in totally unacceptable. Example, I was told that yes the master mechanic test drove the vehicle but was still unable to replicate the problem. Noted on invoice the mileage check in and out was the same. "Oh we just put that the same but he did drive it." My vehicle pulls up and mileage is same as when I left it. Confront Advisor about it and he does more dancing around to dodge the truth. Just one of multiple instances on just one incident. Horrible horrible horrible. More
I walked into Maxwell Ford numerous times in anticipation of buying an Escape Hybrid when it came out. My intent was to buy an Escape Hybrid at list price, knowing that negotiating with the dealership would of buying an Escape Hybrid when it came out. My intent was to buy an Escape Hybrid at list price, knowing that negotiating with the dealership would be impossible. Unfortunately, when a vehicle became available I was told that I would have to pay $2000 over list for the vehicle. I won't be buying from Maxwell - ever. Other dealerships offer the vehicle at list price (already a big profit for the dealership) and don't seem to need to price gouge/take advantage of their customers. They will likely make their $2000 on someone, but it won't be me. Moreover, another dealership will earn my money for this vehicle and my future business. My recommendation to anyone looking for a new car is to try another dealer in/around town. More
