The dealership knows how to sell you a car. Will help you add up peripherals like floor mats and oil changes added to your car note. Now, both of which are MUCH more affordable locally, or on t More

Good morning, I am sorry you are going through this and I am willing to help and partner with you on the issues of the car. Unfortunately, you have declined just about everything we have ever recommended from our shop. We only recommend what the Manufacturer requires. I will be more than happy to revisit all of the declined services with you for a better understanding. When can we connect on the phone or in person? You may call me anytime to discuss.

I do appreciate your willingness to help after again, I initiated the communication (please see above). You are right in saying (now that I assume you bothered to look at my service record and folks reading this review, please note I agree, I didn’t do ever single thing they recommended. If I did, I’d spent 2 grand on average every 6k miles) that we denied all services recommended by the manufacturer. Though cabin filters and the other dozen things (brake pads, rotor, tires which were all replaced immediately after those service visits. Because they were declined doesn’t mean they weren’t done) a visit that really don’t pertain to the obviously faulty differential. We don’t have to revisit anything about declined services. And the manufacturers recommended services are like expecting me to go to a doctor for every runny nose that I could take care of myself. I am curious however how many lube jobs and cabin filters you yourself has had done on your own vehicle. As a matter of fact, I believe when we bought this CX-9 you had been driving it yourself you a while. You (or whichever manager had been driving it) left a pocket knife in it. Nothing special, but let me know if you’d like it back. It’s still where it was left. But thank you for responding to this review within an hour whereas we have waited for a response for almost three weeks. We are both school teachers (special education) and school starts in less than two weeks. If we had had better communication and just a clear understanding immediately that you would not live up to the powertrain promise we could have initiated something in a more timely fashion. Your service manager has still not come through on that quote for services promised two weeks ago, but he has said several times that what we were quoted labor wise was a little high. But still nothing in writing. I do enjoy working with you all. I love (well, loved at this point the CX-9) and the Mazda 3 we bought from you. Heck, if you offered to split the cost on services, I’d be coming back for another vehicle in the next couple of years, but this is a mess that has essentially ruined the summer. The powertrain warranty was something your dealership stood by. It’s why I came back the second time. And would have a third and forth in time. You’re 50 miles away, the Mazda in town is 5 miles away. Your service and ultimately your word were why we made the day trips. I just tried to call (twice), but it went to voicemail. Which the mailbox hasn’t been set up yet. As that you pointed out my shortcomings publicly and I have accepted a portion of it, would you care to argue about where your dealership failed on my end for the public?

The General Manager, James Dixon, is capable of lying straight to your face. When we arrived at the dealership, James clearly stated he would honor the Ford Motor employee discount. He said they could no More
