Wayne Akers Ford - Service Center

Brought my 2006 Ford Explorer into Wayne Akers Ford for a loud ticking noise coming from my engine at start up. It would last about a minute and then go away. I am the original owner so I know my truck very loud ticking noise coming from my engine at start up. It would last about a minute and then go away. I am the original owner so I know my truck very well and this ticking noise was not normal. To me it sounded like an exhaust leak as they will make quite a bit of noise and then go away as the engine heats up. After keeping the truck for a day and a half both the technician and service advisor told me it is a normal noise and that there was nothing wrong with the truck. I was not happy with this answer so I called Ford Corporate to elevate the situation and try and get help from them. The initial represenative was very polite and understanding and said he needs to contact the dealer to get all the details. I received a call from a different representative at Ford Corporate a few hours later and he actually scolded me for getting corporate involved and that I should listen to the dealer. I could not belive what I was hearing as I knew the ticking noise was not normal! I held my tongue though and told myself to live with the noise a few more months and address it later. After about 6 months I took the truck to Pompano Ford to have it looked at again as the ticking noise was driving me nuts. They diagnosed it immediatey as a cracked manifold and are changing it out under my extended warranty! I will never take another vehicle to Wayne Akers for anything at all! It came down to them simply not wanting to fix the issue as it is not an easy repair! What a way to treat a customer! More

Brought in my truck for service on a recalled item, while I was there I asked to have a drivers side mirror replaced, the price with labor was never disclosed prior to work being done. I had called ahead abo I was there I asked to have a drivers side mirror replaced, the price with labor was never disclosed prior to work being done. I had called ahead about the cost and they quoted me a price and then changed it when I said someone else quoted me a lower price. I believed the price to include labor (because when I called a parts store it was $20 and at Wayne Akers it was $40). When I questioned the price he basically said I should have known there would be a labor charge (As I was checking out, I was told that the work was quite difficult to replace the mirror and that's why it cost $40 for labor). Customer service called inquiring about my experience, when I explained that I had a poor experience, she said a manager would call me and she would "handle it". I never received a call back. The next day I called to inform someone that the mirror they replaced had fallen out because it was not installed correctly (one of the clips was bent over and not even in the hole), the same service agent said the mgr had been on vacation that's why he didn't call me back and that she would have him call me back, I'm still waiting for that call.

Also they left the transmission drain plug loose and so it was leaking tranny fluid ion my drive way. I was really upset and called James and let him know sbout the situation. He then asked me to go back to the dealer so that the lesks could be fixed. I agreed and took the truck back the following morning at which point I was introduced to Nick Ramos who is the Quick Lane manger. Mr.Ramos spoke to me and had my work redone on my truck and was very nice. At the end Mr.Ramos went above and beyond to take care of all my issues and I really appreciated that.
