Hello, Please accept or apology for sub par service. We certainly do not want anyone having a bad experience. We spoke with the staff making them aware of what took place so this doesn't happen to anyone again. Thank you. Respectfully, Clifford A. Korade VP 631-589-4800 ext. 135

Thank you for your respponse, I spoke with youe Service Managaer yesterday, he explained many of the issues in the service department. Communication is the key, if someone had given me an update or told me they were way behind and it would be two hours to get a safety inspection, I could have made a decision to come back another time or wait. I appreciate reaching out but it does not change the experience, while my review is harsh it is accurate and entails the totality of the visit from the lack of greeting to the lack of apology or alternative solution from Colin, the service writer. This may have been an outlier but seeing all of the employees sitting in the cubicles doing NOTHING while I was the only one in the waiting room does not add up. SOMEONE should have checked on me. Sincerely Patrick Shanahan

UPDDATE 9/13/2021 Made the mistake of taking them up on the FREE first service!! HORRIBLE!!! Why did I expect something different? After my previous experience with Sayville Ford Service Department, I was hesitant to give them another try but the Service Manager and General manager both called and explained the issue and asked if I would give them another chance. Today I TRIED and AGAIN THEY FAILED!!! My 2020 Ford Raptor was due for its 5000-mile service, basically an oil change and a tire rotation. My vehicle only has 4100 miles, but it is a year of driving so time for the oil change. The service manager had generously offered to include this service for free after our last “issue” and asked me to give them a second chance because they were just having an off day. I decided it was fair to give them another try so I used there process so that I could write an honest review of my experience, positive or negative. The experience was HORRIBLE AGAIN!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND SAYVILLE FORD, LOTS OF LIP SERVICE NO FOLLOW THROUGH!!!!!!! I made my service appointment the middle of last week on their website picking a time and day that was available. I chose Monday 9/13/2021 at 10:45 believing that it would be after the morning rush and before the lunch breaks. This would also give me he ability to make a fair assessment of the service department. I received three text messages from an automated system, “Thank you for scheduling”, “Appt Confirmation” and “Appt Reminder”. I felt that the communication was good and was the right amount. This morning I showed up 5 minutes early for my appointment and there were no cars waiting so I drove directly into the service bay. I was greeted and asked to wait for a service advisor, it was a reasonable wait for the advisor. She took some information about the vehicle and asked me to follow her into the office. I made sure to wear a mask and to be early for my appointment so that I would not cause any problems with my appointment. I clearly wrote and selected on the automated appointment that I would be waiting for my vehicle. After discussing the service and specifying that I wanted synthetic oil for my vehicle (she did not know if they used Mobil One), the advisor finished the paperwork and then advised me it would be OVER TWO HOURS wait, to change the oil!! I told them to bring back vehicle that it was unacceptable. Then the advisor stated making up stories about COVID, which was very disconcerting. TODAY MAGICALLY COVID IS CAUSING TWO HOUR OIL CHANGES!!!! Another 45 minutes of my life wasted trying to get something SIMPLE completed at this dealership. Here are the Major issues I have with the dealership and this visit: 1) YOU HAVE A WEBSITE WHERE I MADE THE APPOINTMENT, IT COULD EASILY SAY “WAIT TIMES EXCEED TWO HOURS” 2) THAT SAME WEBSITE BLOCKS OUT APPOINTMENT TIMES, IF YOU ARE SHORT STAFFED BLOCK OUT HALF OF THE TIMES SO THAT YOU CAN FINISH WORK IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND SATISFY YOUR CUSTOMERS. 3) YOU CAN SEND ME 3 TEXT MESSAGES ABOUT MY APPOINTMENT BUT YOU CAN’T SEND ONE “WARNING WAIT TIMES EXCEED TWO HOURS” 4) AS SOON AS A CUSTOMER PULLS IN YOU ASK, “WILL YOU BE WAITING?” THEN YOU CAN ADVISE THEM IT WILL BE IN EXCESS OF TWO HOURS.” 5) YOU HAVE MY PHONE NUBER, YOU KNOW I AM WAITING FOR MY VEHICLE……..CALL ME AND TELL ME “ITS OVER A TWO-HOUR WAIT, YOU MAY WANT TO DROP IT OFF OR RESCHEDULE” The complete lack of communication is the same issue that existed the last time I visited the Sayville Ford Service Department. Communication, Honesty and Clarity with your customers is the key and they FAIL EVERY TIME!! I cannot relate how disappointed I am in the Dealership as a whole, they asked me to give them a second chance and I tried, I really wanted it to be a great experience so that I could give them a great review. Something is terrible wrong with the management of this facility; the managers need to be on top of these issues and make changes. Give specific direction to your service employees to COMMUNICATE, let people know ahead of time, don’t make it a surprise! I recommend you take your business elsewhere. A Dealer or independent where they value your time and understand how to communicate!

Sayville Ford responded

Hello Bill, I understand the Explorer you purchased from Enterprise had the seat belts attached in the 3rd row power seats. Did the sales person at Enterprise explain NOT to operate the power seats in the 3rd row with the seat belts connected? Operating the seats with the belts attached could cause binding. We looked at the vehicle as per your request and found the issue not to be caused by the manufacturer. We discounted the repair/diagnosis by 40%.and you are still unsatisfied. I spoke with Dimitri, he informed me you were invited back to go over your concerns. I am also available to discuss your concerns. Respectfully, Clifford A. Korade VP. 631-589-4800 ext. 135

Bill L responded

Can you please tell me where on page 156 of the 2018 explorer manual where it’s states do not fold third seatbelt attached. If that is the fact the third row seat has an obstacle detection system that allows the seat to stop and reverses direction if it hits or obstruct anything so something can be removed. So is if that is the case The obstacle detection is malfunctioning it should’ve performed its job. if there was a snag it should should protected the system . So you charge me $108 for what ? To untangle a seatbelt maybe the seatbelt mechanism wasn’t working properly because the other side was still attached and it was working properly. and show no sign of being tangled. Showed your service advisor and a technician it’s the wasn’t working like I brought it in from inception. So the bottom line you charge me $108 to entangle a seatbelt and they said that was cause and it’s still not working. So if you like discuss his further call me at 631-220-0287

Today Chris A from sayville Ford contacted me and resolved my issue I had. When he contacted me we had a 20 min. Conversation and I felt something that I have not ever gotten from any other dealership. During our conversation he actually wanted to help and wanted me as a customer. I got the feeling Chris actually cares about his customers and wants them to have the best service. With that being said I will let a mistake just be that and move on. Sayville Ford will definitely be getting my business.
