I bought a brand new Focus from Ted Britt Ford and got an extended warranty to last seven years. They told me all I have to worry about it is putting gas in it. After five or so years and 55,000 or so miles, the car stops dead in the road unexpectedly. I have to push it or, if I'm lucky I can roll to a safe place. Ted Britt service will not help me. They say I don't qualify for a recall--which other Focuses do for this problem--and the problem doesn't come up on their diagnostic scanner, so I'm out of luck. Eventually the car will drive again, without problem, but that' only makes them think they don't have to do anything. Besides, the car eventually working is small consolation when you're trying to get to work on time and it won't go. Greed is the watchword around Ted Britt. Their solution is I can pay for the repair they know I need myself, although I have the extended warranty, or ,better yet, I can buy a new car from them.

Had finance all set up with the dealer to buy an F150 and was coming into the dealership the next day to buy it and they called me and told me they sold it! I was able to negotiate a price with them for a used F150 ( they wanted to charge a pre delivery inspection of $1600 🤣) and was able to negotiate the price of the vehicle minus their “PDI” charge. I had to pick up my daughter so they told me to complete financing and they would mark the vehicle as sold and I could pick it up the next day. Completed financing and was told everything was good with excellent credit. They said the vehicle was secure and that I could pick it up the next day. Got a call from them the next day right before I was about to leave stating that the vehicle was sold! The best part was that they tried to sell me another vehicle that they had! My guess was they got some sucker to pay their PDI charge 🤣. Don’t deal with this dealer, one of the worst I have seen in a long time.

I have been a Ted Britt Customer for as long as I’ve been in Virginia, up until the last two months the service had been great. For those reasons I was hopeful for an amicable solution to a seemingly simple issue - unfortunately the service director, and service manager were not accessible during my attempts to connect and my service advisor was blatantly disinterested in rectifying this situation. The following has been submitted to the BBB and DMV for complaints on less than stellar business practices of Ted Britt Fairfax Service Department. tldr: Take your business elsewhere if you can, particularly for warranty work. Document and over communicate as not every service advisor is as engaging as others, being that you may also find yourself in an unethical situation - suitable of after-action and/or litigation. - After identifying a rear pinion seal leak I took my 2015 Ford Mustang to Ted Britt Fairfax Ford on 8/24/2022 for diagnostic and service. I was later informed that mechanics had checked for a differential leak and confirmed a leak at the drain plug in the rear, but that mechanics had secured the plug and all was ok. At this time I was prompted for payment, upon questioning as to why (as this is a covered service under Ford ESP Warranty), I was told there would be no charge. After noticing odd noises, and fluttering the following month I returned for service on 09/30/2022. At this time I was informed that internal gears from the rear differential were binding and causing problems inside the rear of the automobile. I was told that necessary repairs would not be rendered under warranty because this vehicle had been previously serviced from a third party company on 08/20/2022. After communicating with *** ********, Ted Britt service advisor, I relayed that the initial leak had been identified by the third party servicer in question and it was this guidance that prompted me to schedule the initial appointment on 08/24/2022. While rear differential fluids were filled at this time, all was in line according to the manufacture as to allow safe passage to the dealership for final service and repair on 08/24/2022. In the present circumstance, Ted Britt refuses to action warranty service arguing misuse on 08/20/2022. Their justification is as follows: (1) Preliminary service not taking place at the Ted Britt dealership, and (2) Additive not being included in rear differential service at that time. Both of these arguments flagrant contradictions of embedded verbiage within the National Vehicle Service Contract - FORD ESP Warranty agreement signed on 08/13/2018 and the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act of 1975, respectively. The FORD-ESP terms and conditions state rear differential service repair as a covered service subject to deductible as component of transmission and POWERTRAIN Care with appropriate maintenance schedule performed as directed by FORD 2015 Mustang Owners Manual. My current FORD ESP Warranty Agreement is scheduled to expire in October 2022, it is my belief that the staff of Ted Britt Ford Fairfax intentionally moved to deceive through the intentional withholding of information and diagnosis on 08/24/2022, as to further damage the vehicle and prolong timeline for non-covered repairs within the next 70 days. This flagrant negligence acts as a clear violation of deceptive trade practices act. Zero efforts have been made to rectify the situation or retain my business.

If we could do zero stars we would! Andy Britt is the owners son and you would think he would give the extra care to uphold the name. Ha, the complete opposite! After multiple messages, emails and missed calls he not once responded or got back to me after ordering a new car. After 7 months he sent a one sentence email saying the car we ordered and have waited for is not being made anymore. We were extremely disappointed in the service and decided to go in person and speak to a manager about it and they literally said that he is the owners son, what do you want us to do about it!!! We are shocked that this is how they run a business! We would not recommend doing any business with Tedd Britt Ford!

Clean, efficient, great customer service! They have it all. Chris Liquido is the most helpful and kind service agent. Everything is excellent. Thanks Ted Britt!

I saw a truck that I was interested in on Autotrader, and it looked fantastic. It looked like it had everything I wanted. So I called, asked if it was available, and if we could pick it up the same day. They lady I spoke with, Meryem was pretty rude. She was constantly cutting me off, and talking when I was talking. She was also very demanding on obtaining our information! Sending out passive aggressive texts like "Please send us your ID at your earliest convenience", followed up with "I need to get everything ready before you arrive". This was a huge red flag, trying to get us to buy the car before we even looked at it! We'll after 5 hours of driving, I found out why. The truck was not as described, and they had taken photo to deliberately hide all of its flaws. Such as, all of the rust in the bed of the truck, and the back seat was completely taken out! Then when it came to my trade in, the appraiser was patronizing and rude as well. Try to explain to me how cars works, and that he's driven 100k cars, and better cars. When it came to numbers they were all over the place. They gave me an out the door price, but when it came to financing that out the door price was non existing. They wanted to get a pre-approval so they could get the most money out of me, instead of an exact amount! That was the final red flag for me, so I left and bought another truck the next day in Newport News, with a much more professional experience! Not sure how these guys have a good review when this is how they treat customers. Just go somewhere else and save you the hassle

Talked to a salesman about a vehicle that was supposedly on their lot. Turns out it was not and was in transit. Also found out they were adding a $5,000 markup that wasn't on the website. A total waste of time. Not a very good way to do business. Dealerships are going to start closing down. And this is why

Rep I worked with was slow at responding to questions and information requests. I also didn’t feel like there was much room to make a deal on a vehicle
