Great experience. Joe and Shelby we're great sales agents. Made the purchase smooth, seamless and fun. Body shop did a fabulous job of removing some minor scratches that occurred before purchase. Thanks for a super experience.

Fantastic service
I have had oil changes with tire rotation several trips. I have also had service work. As always the service is excellent and fast. Moving here from another state I hit a home run finding them.

I have communicated with this company via the internet and they have always responded very quickly to my inquiries. I have not found the right car yet.

Hello Pat, thank you so much for your kind words about our internet department here at Fernelius. We will make sure they know how much you appreciate their help. We intend on finding you that perfect vehicle, so please don't hesitate to reach out so we can make that happen!
Good experience for a traveler
Had a sparkplug blow out while traveling. Repair done in less time and for less expense than expected. Service manager was friendly and professional. Since we're not from around here, recommending them to anyone else probably won't happen but that's the only reason why. Only minor gripe, chairs in waiting area are showing their age and could stand replacement.

Hi Dave and Carol, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! Love to hear your experience going so well too! Hoping to get some better chairs for the waiting room sooner rather than later. Thank you for the feedback and hope you stop in if you need us next time you're in the area.
If only I could give them no stars
I had a very bad experience with Fernelius Ford Lincoln in Cheboygan. I found a vehicle that I was interested in purchasing by doing an online search. I live 2 hours away from the dealership but my wife and I drove to see it. When we arrived the truck was in the service area up on a hoist and the mechanic was doing the initial inspection to their newly acquired trade-in. The salesman Mark escorted us to see it and we talked to the mechanic Chuck about what he was working on. Chuck had the truck hooked to the computer and he told us he was fixing the side mirrors and that he had ordered replacement sensors for the rear park assist (they were defective/missing). Chuck pulled the truck out and Mark let us take it for a test drive. During the test drive, I noticed that there was a problem with the steering. The wheel was out of alignment and I felt a “clunk” on the floor board. Mark had the mechanic then take it for a spin. Chuck agreed that the steering wheel was off but denied feeling any clunk. We agreed to purchase the truck as long as they were going to complete the work already in progress and complete a front end alignment to fix the steering and fix the clunk. They put the terms in writing. We signed the paperwork and planned to return in one week. This week allowed us time to bring the cash money down required and gave them an entire week to complete the repairs on the truck. When we returned a week later, the truck was parked out front waiting for us. We saw that the mirrors were fixed but to our disappointment there was still an empty hole where the rear park assist sensor was supposed to be. When we questioned Mark about it he said, “We had to put a lot of money into your truck. It turns out that we had to replace the steering box. That cost us $2400. So we couldn't spend any more money on it.” Mark said, “Take it for a drive!” My wife and I went for another test drive. The clunk was gone but the steering wheel was still off center! When we returned I informed Mark of this and asked if they did a front end alignment. The mechanic was at lunch but he was sure it was done. He asked me to take him for a ride and to go down the smooth road because it was “probably just the bumps in the road” making me think the wheel isn't straight. Even after I took him and tried to show him he disagreed that anything was off even though it was plain to see from my vantage point that the steering wheel was off center when going straight down the road. I felt like he was calling me a liar. I did not believe that a front end alignment had been done even though they assured me it was and the entire time we were there the mechanic was “out to lunch.” We were there about 90 minutes and Chuck never made an appearance so we were never able to confirm any of the repairs. I got the distinct feeling that Chuck was avoiding us because he knew the truth. We expressed disappointment that they failed to repair the back up sensors even though that would have fallen under the “work in progress” portion of what they agreed to do for us. The financial guy Warren said, “We fixed all the safety issues and spent more than we expected on the steering box. If we fix EVERYTHING, then we would ask $40,000.00 for it. You got a great deal. We dropped the price to help you get your financing. If you don't want the truck, that's fine. We will cancel the deal and put it back on the lot.” So now they resorted to a “take it or leave it” tone. I felt like because we had already signed the sales contract the week prior they did not care about customer service. They didn't care if we were offended or not. I just wanted to get the xxxx out of there at this point. This review site won't allow me to put the rest of my story due to length limit... but BEWARE of dishonest practices.

Doris & Roy, I'm sorry to hear you haven't had a pleasant experience with us. Your satisfaction is the number one priority. I took some time to review your situation and inspect what may/may not have happened. According to our records our technician performed and completed a front end alignment, replaced the lower and the center steering column shafts. Additionally the technician replaced, fixed, and/or installed new windshield wipers, changed the oil, new air filter, new oil filter, lamp auxiliary, tail stop backup lamp, license plate lamp, two new bulbs, two new turn signal lamps, shaft steering, and strap wiring. All totaling about $2,400 with parts and installation. Some how there must have been a miscommunication or misunderstanding between the sales and service department on what exactly was being replaced. The "As Is" on a Buyers Guide is a document that is required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and requires all dealers to post to every used car offered for sale. This document is protect you as the buyer and the dealer as the seller. The Buyers Guide clearly states whether the vehicle being purchased does or does not have a warranty. We encourage all customers, that are purchasing a vehicle that has exceeded the terms of a factory warranty, to purchase an extended service contract in the unforeseen event that a mechanical/electrical issue were to arise. Our goal was to not offend you during this process but try to make this as simple, easy, and a non-pressure situation. We simply offered to undue the paperwork if you were not satisfied with what was performed. You ultimately decided to continue. With all this being said I just would like to reiterate that you're satisfaction is the number one priority. Unfortunately I cannot not make a 139,000 mile truck become new but what I can do is try to fix those issues that you have listed. I will be reaching out to you to try to make what is wrong right. Thank You, Justin Fernelius General Manager
