If I could give zero stars I most definitely would. I have a 2019 Fusion and it had a really bad rattle at idle but would dissipate once in higher RPMs. It did this for about 2 months (keep in mind I h I have a 2019 Fusion and it had a really bad rattle at idle but would dissipate once in higher RPMs. It did this for about 2 months (keep in mind I have been driving it back and forth to work every day in Atlanta) before I decided to take it to the Ford "professionals" to have it diagnosed. I DROVE my car to the dealership and dropped it off 03/28/2023, the next day 03/29/2023 Veronica called me and told me they had diagnosed my car and that I would need a long block because I slung a rod. I rebutted this with its next to nearly impossible that I slung a rod. I went back and forth with the Service Department for 2 days asking for a further inspection to finally be told by the Service Manager Mandy that "something was rolling around in the bottom of my engine and they would have to break it down past failure to tell me what it was". Once again not likely. The quote stated that the technician started the car and turned it on and off 3 times and this is how Mike Patton deemed I needed a long block, seems pretty casual to me. A 10K quote was written and provided to me. I decided to pick up my car and take it to another shop for a 2nd opinion. I paid the $150 diagnostic fee; even though there was no "diagnosing" completed. The next day my car was diagnosed and I had a cracked flexplate (which by the way is a very common problem in the 1.5L and 2L engines that Ford produces), I moved forward with the repairs at that shop and in 4 days had my car back and running as it should have been. I reached back out to Mike Patton for a refund of the "diagnostic charges" and was asked to bring my car by for an inspection. Fine, I took my car yesterday 04/11/2023 WITH the broken flexplate in my hand- the Service Manager Mandy argued with me about that repairing my car in front of 3 employees and another customer. The foreman went out and inspected and the car was in fact repaired. So not only did Mike Patton misdiagnose my car BY A LONG SHOT, they never had the common decency to apologize. Had I moved forward with a long block I would have received my car back with the same issue. My question is what then? More money to fix the actual problem? Or would have Mike Patton seen that plate when replacing the engine and not said a word? They have lost all confidence in me as a future customer, I wouldn't let them put air in my bicycle tires. From the top (Brian Patton) to the technician (Brandon Vernadoe) that diagnosed my car the only apology that was given was from the Foreman (Shawn). Mandy clearly has no mechanical experience and could not challenge her technicians enough to know that my car DID NOT need an engine. I have been in the dealership industry since high school and this behavior is completely unacceptable in my opinion. Mike Patton Service Department really is a joke. Please beware with bringing your car here for anything other than an oil change. More
I could write a book about all that I went through after I purchased a car. The stress was unreal. They care nothing about the customer opinion of them. I purchased a car. The stress was unreal. They care nothing about the customer opinion of them. More

I spent several days going back and forth with car salesman Jimmy Purnel trying to make a deal on a new F150. When I asked Jimmy to send me a copy of the bill of sale on the first truck we discussed salesman Jimmy Purnel trying to make a deal on a new F150. When I asked Jimmy to send me a copy of the bill of sale on the first truck we discussed , he objected , stating that I was just going to use that information to get a better deal from another dealer. He actually took pictures of the right column of the bill of sale , cutting off most of the pertinent information and texted it to me. After I saw the bottom line price it didn't matter anyway as the price was much higher than the other deal. In this conversation I mentioned that I had a deal for 0% 84 months , $560 a month. He called me back just a few minutes later and told me he had a truck with more options for $555 a month. I looked over the truck and agreed to take that deal. Well, when we spoke next about him sending me a bill of sale and me filling out a credit application the monthly payment had gone up to $620 a month. 620-555=65X84=5460. So he was trying to raise the agreed upon price by $5460. I of course ended the conversation. I was then contacted by the sales manager Jose, followed by the general manager David Ray. David explained that mistakes were made and that Jimmy had been given some bad information and that he need s a little training. David went on to apologize profusely and explain that this is not how they do business. David then got the details on the truck I was shopping for and promised to do his best to make this right. Well about 5 hours later I had not heard from David so I called him and was told that he didn't see anything he could do. Apparently David didn't have enough respect for me or my time to call and tell me that. The bottom line is they are Liars with no respect for their customers. In responding to this review, David Ray attempts to paint this as a situation where the dealership didn’t have the truck I want,had not seen my trade so they couldn’t make a deal . The real issue that he won’t address is the fictitious price I was given for a truck in the lot that he would not stand behind. As far as the trade, I had submitted pictures and mileage of my car as requested . The trade was going to be picked up and the truck delivered per Covid 19. More
I spent several days dealing with Jimmy Purnel and it was a horrible experience. He promised me a deal that he couldn’t make . His sales manager and the the general manager David Ray called me trying to smi a horrible experience. He promised me a deal that he couldn’t make . His sales manager and the the general manager David Ray called me trying to smith things over. David Ray told me he was going to work hard to make things good. At the end of the business day (in my mind) 5pm , I had not heard back from David so I called him. He told me there was nothing he could do. So he was just making me wait wasting more of my time by not letting me know that. Jimmy promised me a payment of $555 and then when it was time to do the paperwork and close the deal the payment was $620. Quite a difference!!! Steer clear of this DISHONEST Dealership!!!! More
