Mr. & Mrs. Messier- Thank you for your feedback—we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. I’m glad I had the opportunity to step in and work with you directly to get everything back on track. We were able to adjust our shop flow to ensure your new Ford Explorer was handled by the properly qualified technician, which is exactly the level of care every vehicle deserves. We also understood the inconvenience caused while your vehicle was here, and it was important to us to make that right. I’m glad we could provide some relief during that time and arrive at a resolution you felt good about. It means a great deal to us that you chose to work with us—especially being referred by someone within the industry. That kind of trust is not something we take lightly. As mentioned, please feel free to reach out to me directly anytime you need assistance. I’m always here to help and ensure your experience is handled the right way from start to finish. We truly appreciate your business and the opportunity to earn your continued trust. Sincerely, Eric Gates General Manager Columbia Ford KIA 860.228.2886
