Called inquiring about a truck advertised.

Called inquiring about a truck advertised. Salesman called and said would get to me on availability. No call for 2 days. I called back and spoke with another salesman, again stated would have someone follow up in next hour. Never heard back from anyone. I bought a truck from another dealership next day. Evidently they don't see the need to sell vehicles or think that a phone call is more relevant than a person standing in the showroom. I was willing to drive 197 miles to purchase a vehicle. Good thing I don't live locally, because I would make sure the community knew how dissatisfied I was with the customer service.

Very slow service

I scheduled an appointment to get my oil changed and most of the time I'm there for a little over 2 hours. Yesterday I was there an hour and I had tires rotated. Why schedule an appointment?

Like others they are advertising vehicles that were

Like others they are advertising vehicles that were ordered and await pick up and therefore advertising vehicles (Ford Maverick) that are not for sale. This is false advertisement any way they spin it.

On the fence about this dealer

I went in to look at a specific vehicle. The sales rep that helped us said it was sold. He then tried to find something else for us, but kept wanting to push us out of our budget, and it was obvious he didn't listen very well. He also told us that we could only negotiate, at most, $500 off the sticker price on any given vehicle. The vehicle kept appearing in online searches, so I emailed the dealership, where I learned that it is still available. Would be a 1 star review, but the lady who has been emailing with me has been very pleasant.

Incompetent

Ford So Ford Motor Company, as a company, is terrible. Franklin Ford in London, KY is an absolute joke. A while ago I posted pictures of the factory scissor jack that came with our Explorer. It bent in half when used, shot out from under the car, causing damage to the car. Broken jack, damaged car. Calling Ford customer service results in them saying they basically want nothing to do with it and said take it to the dealer and tell a manager. Chase, the general manager at Franklin Ford in London tried to not only get the jack away from us, and I’m sure it would have disappeared, but he was annoyed and obviously did not want to deal with it. He didn’t understand why Ford would tell us to come to them. Chase takes pictures and says he will work on it. Even gives me his cell phone number. Lot of good that did, he refused to answer or respond to texts. I eventually had to stand in their showroom and say I wasn’t leaving until he came out. He handed me off to the service manager who told me I had to call Ford again on my own to see if I could start a claim on my own and get him a case number. So after arguing with Ford again, with another person who barely speaks English, I finally get a case number. I have to give that to the service manager too. There is a pattern of me doing a lot and these people not really lifting a finger to help. I’m beginning to wonder why they are even there. I keep contacting the service manager and get nothing. He keeps saying Ford is basically sitting on it. He finally tells me if I want answers I should call Ford again. I call Ford’s customer service line, same one I used to get the claim number. They repeatedly told me they could not give me any information, refused to give me the contact info of the department they said made the decision on the claim, and repeatedly said they could not give me any timeframe for a decision to be made. I told them how disgusted I am with the whole process and they kept saying I could only contact the dealership. I reminded them the dealership was useless and kept telling me to contact them. They said they couldn’t help me with that because dealerships are independently owned. They said the most I could do was give negative feedback and they would make a note of it. No help. No one on either side cares. I’ve run myself ragged trying to jump through hoops they keep putting in front of me, and all they will do is knock me back and forth like a ping pong ball while they sit on the issue.
