The vehicle was brought in to Phil Long for loose trim by the tailgate and to check the transmission. The transimmision was declared "normal". The trim defect was listed as "loose trim on the right rear", D the tailgate and to check the transmission. The transimmision was declared "normal". The trim defect was listed as "loose trim on the right rear", Dan in the service dept. at Phil Long claimed they did not notice the obvious problem. Dan said they pushed the molding on the rear door up, this was not a problem. When the loose trim problem was identified to Dan, Dan pulled the trim down and dislodged it more. Then suddenly noticed there was a scratch on the bottom of the side panel. This escalated to the claim that the panel had been pulled out in an attempt to remove it. The scratch turned into a crack. This is all questionable because the obvious loose trim was not noticed before, and then small details suddenly became obvious. The original problem, evolved into a bigger problem, with no corrective action. Dan was wanting the dealer that the car was purchased from, 80 miles away, to agree to pay for the "defect" repair. I took the vehicle back to the selling dealer and they fixed the problem in less than 30 minutes. They identified the original problem as a loose clip on the trim panel. How the other issues came about is "unknown". I would encourage others to avoid Phil Long at Chapel Hills if at all possible. More

I scheduled an appointment to take my Ford Ranger in for a "complete" inspection. I even called again to ensure that everything was going to be good to go, and to fully understand what the cost would be. a "complete" inspection. I even called again to ensure that everything was going to be good to go, and to fully understand what the cost would be. I was given a time of 1:40 to bring the truck in, and was told it would take about 1 hour for the inspection. Upon arrival a "young man" hopped in the truck and started doing what would be considered an idiot inspection of things that I told them really didn't need to be doing, because I can do those. I wanted them to inspect the things that I don't have the "technical" skills to test/inspect. When we got into the service center check-in office the man behind the counter told me that they could not do the work/inspection because it was too late in the day! I was beside myself! "I had called twice to ensure that this would be done, yesterday when I set the appointment, and two hours ago to double check. And now you are telling me that you can not do it! Phil Long is both a theft and lier! If I were to walk in there and take $150 out of their cash register they would have me arrested! But here they waste 2 hours of my time (not to mention me having scheduled my entire day around this), and the 1:30 minutes of gas. No one in their right mind would use these BOZOs. More

Fifteen years ago, I had a very positive experience buying a 1997 SVT Mustang Cobra from Phil Long Ford's Motor City location. The same was true two years later, when I bought a used pickup there. When buying a 1997 SVT Mustang Cobra from Phil Long Ford's Motor City location. The same was true two years later, when I bought a used pickup there. When I replaced that 200K+ mile pickup several years ago, I could think of no one from whom I’d rather buy than my "usual" Motor City salesman. I was, in fact, so impressed with him I penned letters of appreciation to his General Manager and the Better Business Bureau. Unfortunately, I now find myself disappointed, dissatisfied, and disgusted with my latest Phil Long experience. Earlier this year, I decided to replace my 1997 SVT Mustang Cobra with a 2013 Shelby GT500. My salesman’s retirement forced me to, reluctantly, deal with a new salesman. Because I live on the county’s north end, Ford’s Web Site steered me toward Phil Long's Chapel Hills location. Following an exchange of email with an Internet salesman that began in May, I visited the dealership several times, test-driving a couple of Mustang GTs. Those visits culminated on 17 June when I placed my order for a GT500. (Difficulties with their network prevented acceptance of my deposit and entering the order until 18 June.) They sent me a copy of the Vehicle Order Confirmation on 19 June, attached to an email that stated “Your Shelby order is the first and only, thus giving it priority one.” After asking for it, I received a copy of the Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement (DORA) on 25 July. In the 14 weeks since ordering my GT500,they provided regular updates amounting to “no change” in status. Those updates included repeated assurances my order was the dealership’s “first,” and that they had “three GT500 allocations” with which to fill it. As time passed and I read about GT500 orders being fulfilled more quickly elsewhere, I pressed for more details about mine. Answers finally came on 19 September, with their admission that they don’t have an allocation for the car they “sold” me. It seems I’ve somehow fallen to third in line for one of the dealership’s two allocations. He stopped short of telling me I won’t get the car and didn’t cancel my order or refund my deposit but, now, he’s just “optimistic Ford will be able to fill [my] order.” I can’t help but wonder whether this radical change in status is because someone offered a higher price than that for which they agreed to sell the car to me? Or, could it be because I'm affiliated with the military, I’m viewed as transient and not worth treating well? To the contrary, as a 20+ year resident of this area, I’m regularly consulted by friends, acquaintances, co-workers, and subordinates looking for recommendations about where to do business. Until now, I’ve steered those looking for cars to Phil Long. I will no longer do so. Instead, I will actively discourage patronage of an organization that lies to its customers and reneges on its agreements. More

Phil Long Ford did not show integrity in honoring the "out the door" price as quoted. When they made a mistake in the sales tax, they forced that on the buyer (2 months after the vehicle purchase) and w "out the door" price as quoted. When they made a mistake in the sales tax, they forced that on the buyer (2 months after the vehicle purchase) and would not stand behind their "out the door" price, making the buyer pay additional taxes 2 months after the sale was over. While the fine print covered them legally (as there was a clause about verbal contracts not being honored)they would not make good on the quoted "out the door" price. Their word is not their bond. I would never buy from them again nor recommend them to anyone else. Brent also avoided the issue with us by saying how much money he lost on the deal. We did not ask Phil Long to make that deal with us. THEY offered the deal. And we believed them. Brent also blamed us for not carefully reading all of the fine print. We should have done that. Still, the principle of the matter is that Phil Long Ford did not stand by their word. Brent tried to put it on us, saying that he is not going to pay our taxes. It was all about the "out the door" price (including taxes) that was quoted and we thought was negotiated. The word of the sales person was worthless. I would not purchase a vehicle from this dealer because I believe that although this dealer did give us a good deal for what we purchased, the integrity in the business dealing was not there. More

Where to begin??? The dealership did not deliver Promised items as they promised, staff will NOT return phone calls and overall BAD experience! I can't believe that they are still in business with the type o items as they promised, staff will NOT return phone calls and overall BAD experience! I can't believe that they are still in business with the type of service that I received from them. They promised new tires (Which took them over a week to get in) and a signed Broncos jersey ( Which was offered to me if I purchased the vehicle, I didn't request it.). I received the tires (Finally) but after owning the vehicle for over a mont, I have not received the jersey (I know that it may sound petty, but it was Promised in WRITING) even though I have tried numerous times to contact Orlando Roasa (Sales man) and Robert Warner (Sales Manager) and they ignore my calls and messages that I have left for them to return. All in all, it was the most horrible experience that I have ever had with a dealership. Basically, if I would have not held up my end of the bargain, they would have sued me but since they're the dealership, what ever they want to do is ok! Beware of these cheats! More

I recently took my vehicle into Phil Long Ford for a factory recall. I normally have my vehicle serviced at a quick lube facility near my house so when Dan Phillips(service person) told me they would b factory recall. I normally have my vehicle serviced at a quick lube facility near my house so when Dan Phillips(service person) told me they would be doing a "safety inspection" on my veicle as part of the recall, I thought "here's where they get me". I was pleasantly suprised when Dan told me I take really good care of my vehicle and gave me a printout of items that would be needed in the future. I think I have found a new place to have my vehicle serviced as I found Phil Long and Dan to be honest with me on my visit. More
