She was the best! Very knowledgeable and professional the whole time! When it was finished she had the car delivered to my house repaired and with a fresh car wash ! Make sure you ask for Dani in service, you won't be disappointed! More
My car was repaired at Dave Sinclair Ford Collision after an accident. Upon completion I was told my car needed another several thousand dollars of work that would not be submitted to insurance. I foun after an accident. Upon completion I was told my car needed another several thousand dollars of work that would not be submitted to insurance. I found this to be suspicious so I got a second opinion from a trusted friend who is an auto mechanic. He said this work was unnecessary and told me not to replace the part. He also pointed out that the dealership put used parts in my car for repair. Also, the dealership did not repair two of my sensors that were damaged in the accident even though i pointed out the error message of the sensors to them when i dropped the vehicle off. My glove compartment fell out completely once I got my car back home. This was working fine when I dropped the car off. The experience with this dealership was frustrating and disappointing. I have little faith in their abilities or integrity. More

Buying my 2024 F150 was a good experience, but I decided to pay the truck off and cancel all the extras that I purchased, I only had the truck for 6 months before paying off. When the refund for all the ex to pay the truck off and cancel all the extras that I purchased, I only had the truck for 6 months before paying off. When the refund for all the extras came in it was on 56% of the total of the extras bought. that says for 6 months they took 44% of what was bought. This seems a little off for only having the truck for 6 months. When emails where sent to the finance person there was no response. Not very good business when you purchase a 60000 dollar vehicle.

Service department had poor communication and no sense of urgency. Car was on their lot for 4 days when I called for a status update. They didn't even know the car was there. I told them to check across the urgency. Car was on their lot for 4 days when I called for a status update. They didn't even know the car was there. I told them to check across the small section of parking lot at the Lincoln service center as they had called me when the car had been towed in, and I explained that they were expecting it at the Ford dept not the Lincoln service dept. I thought it was clear enough that he could bring them the keys or at least call them but evidently not. Bottom line, they had my car for 16 days (4 of which they didn't even know it was on there lot despite my call telling them it was on its way via tow truck). When I texted after 16 days without a call to see the status, within minutes, I was told it was ready for pick up. I got the feeling it was ready before I contacted them but they didn't realize that they hadn't contacted me. I asked for delivery and they said it would have to wait until Monday because noone was available. I told them that I would make arrangements to pick it up. I also said I was disappointed with the poor communication and apparent lack of urgency. I was told that I was fortunate to get my car seen as quickly as I did since I didn't have a prior appointment but that they fit me in. I said 16 days didn't seem like I was fit in but if it truly was, then I appreciated it. I picked up my car myself because I couldn't wait any longer. The bill was large, (around 1600) considering it had been serviced a few months prior there for similar situation (at least to me) and I had paid even more then. This second visit, I even had a throttle body replaced that had been replace at prior visit (for this second one, I was not billed). Throttle bodies are are supposed to last over 100k miles from what I read. I would think maybe someone would consider why that would reoccur so quickly and what might cause that. I got in my car and it was not idling smoothly and so I had service rep out. He agreed. I said I will drive it and see if it improves since mechanic note said it was repaired (and the ridenthat Inhad gotten there had already left). It didn't improve and within the less than 5 mile drive home, the check engine light came on. I screenshot the check engine light and sent it to the rep. He said to bring it back and it would be made right. I said I would within a few days when I had time and a ride. Before I have a chance to bring it back in (within the week) my neighbor comes over and tells me that something is hanging off the bottom of my car. It is the under engine shield that had been removed when they replaced the lead something or other that was determined to be the issue at my recent visit. Evidently it wasn't put it back on correctly. I contacted service again with photos. When I did bring it in, I was told the check engine light represented 2 new issues that weren't present at previous visit and would total another $3200 in repairs. And told me that these were not issues showing up on the check engine scanner when car was there previously (despite the fact that the check engine light came on before I even made it 5 miles home) Bottom line i spent close to 5k from prior two visits and car is not fixed and now say they need another $3200. I do not have confidence in their diagnostic skills. I could not speak with the mechanic because you talk to the service rep.. I find that irritating and am sure that it is not as good as direct communication. Just very disappointed and angry. Feel like the money hat I spent was wasted.. Clearly it was not and still.isnt fixed. I am going to contact service manager and see what can be done. Hopefully this company that has been there for so many years will fix the issue and restore my confidence. More
On 2/5/25, I was on my way to a funeral in St. Louis from Richmond, VA. Rain and headlights from an 18-wheeler blinded me in a construction section of I-64, and I hit a construction barrel with my Louis from Richmond, VA. Rain and headlights from an 18-wheeler blinded me in a construction section of I-64, and I hit a construction barrel with my eight (8) days old, 2025 Ford Escape. I'm fortunate the only damage was my front headlight being destroyed. I asked at an auto parts stores for recommendations and was referred to the Dave Sinclair Ford location at 7466 S Lindbergh Blvd. I knew the odds of parts being available, let alone someone available to fix the headlight were as about as good as winning a million in the lottery, but I tried anyway. Twice in two days, I was unbelievably fortunate. Around 1pm, I arrived at the dealership and was directed to RJ Leslie for assistance. I explained what had happened, and that I was certain they wouldn't have the necessary parts, anymore than they could squeeze me in without an appointment. I explained to RJ that my aunt's wake was at 4pm, but that I had to at least try and get the light fixed. I cannot begin to explain how wonderful RJ was in taking care of me and my car repair. He scrambled to get the part for my Escape, then worked hard to get my vehicle into the shop to fix the headlight. Miraculously, by 3:45pm Mike Bast and his apprentice had my car repaired and sporting a brand-new headlight. Not even here in Richmond could I ever get my car fixed on such short notice or so quickly. The kindness and care RJ and the rest of the dealership staff demonstrated to me during my time at the Lindbergh Blvd location was amazing. It was wonderful to experience the kind of customer service I strive for with my own clients. It's a business mentality that is missing in so many businesses these days. RJ, Mike, and the rest of the staff on duty that afternoon need to be awarded a medal or a gift card or something to show how valuable they are to the success of Dave Sinclair Ford. If I ever need vehicle assistance again while visiting St. Louis in the future, I'll know exactly where to go. Thank you RJ and Mike. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for easing my level of stress during a visit that was sad enough. I sure hope James Sinclair reads this review because he needs to know how amazing you guys are!!!! Kathi Scearce One note, and NOT RJ's fault. It wasn't a huge concern, but I was surprised that RJ wasn't given the keys to my automobile by whoever brought up the car from the shop after the repair was complete. Instead, the key was left in the car. I'd recommend customers would be even more comfortable about their experience if their keys were handed off to the service representative and then directly to the customer and not left in the vehicle.

ABOVE AND BEYOND OUTSTANDING! !! I pulled into Office Max in South County recently and got stuck in the snow on the hill at the entrance. I called a tow truck company and they said !! I pulled into Office Max in South County recently and got stuck in the snow on the hill at the entrance. I called a tow truck company and they said the wait was two hours. I knew it would be dark by then and was very concerned. Then I saw the sign for Dave Sinclair Ford and I called to see if they had a tow truck. They said no, but would get some guys to help me. Within minutes, three salesmen showed up and enthusiastically got my car out of harm’s way. I asked what I owed them and they smiled and said nothing-just keep us in mind the next time you’re looking for a great vehicle. They were incredibly nice and helpful. I know where I’m buying my next vehicle! Thanks so much to everyone at Dave Sinclair Ford! Anthony Zeigler More
