My Review of Lasco Ford:
My Son Who Is A US Marine & Is Deployed To Iraq Located A Car Online That Was For Sale At Lasco Ford Fenton Mi. He Talked With The Saleswoman Annie Hoffman And She Assured Him The Car Was As New!! With Full Factory Warranty, My Son Got A Cashiers Check Sent To Them And Sealed The Deal Within An Hour!! I Picked The Car Up And Drove It The 120 Miles Back To My Home To Put In Storage For My Son Till He Gets Home March '09 And The Clutch Goes Out On It. I Know It Wasn't My Driving I Have Been Driving Stick Shift Cars For 35 Years. Each Rim Was Missing A Lugnut And The Front Tires Where Unsafe!! I Took It To Our Local Dealer And They Wouldn't Test Drive Because It Was Unsafe, This From A Car That She Said Was As New!!! They Told Me That Because I Drove The Car Over 100 Miles Tough!! After Some Bickering I Got The $1,500 Clutch Replacement For $250 But It Still Has Unsafe Tires!! I Would Never Recommend This Dealer To Anyone But My Worst Enemy And Then I Would Feel Bad! When We Picked The Car Up From The Repair Shop It Was Dirtier Than When They Got It, The Car Needed Gas They Charged Us 4.99 For 1 Gallon And Annie Hoffman Was Rude To Us!! So If You Do Read This And Decide To Buy A Car From This Dealership I Hope You Have Better Luck Than We Did!! My Son Is Over Fighting A War To Protect Our Freedoms While Businesses Like This Are Ripping Our Fine Young Men And Women Off.

My Review of Lasco Ford:
I was suprised to see the negative reviews listed on this website. I just bought a car from Lasco Ford back in December and my experience was nothing but delightful! Everyone was very friendly and I was in and out in a very short time. I have had some credit issues in the past and I wasn't sure if there was any way I could get a new car, ever with a co-signer, but they got me approved on my own. The best part is, I'm paying less now for a new car than I was for my old piece of crap! My salesperson, Dick Rossell, really went out of his way to help me out, and Mark Wollcott, the finance manager, went above and beyond the call of duty getting my financing done. I read the other reviews about "The Lasco Boys", and after having met both Matt and Jay and can't understand why they have such a bad rap. They were both great to deal with and a lot of fun. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and I would recommend Lasco Ford to anyone. As a matter of fact, my sister-in-law just bought a car from them last week, and she had no complaints. Go Ford!

My Review of Lasco Ford:
Buyer Beware!!Went to visit the dealerhship after looking for a vehicle. Seen a salesperson in the parking lot while looking for a vehicle, he couldn't tell us anything about the car however we went into the dealership to talk to someone (because we were still interested) and we wanted to give benefit of the doubt and allow and offer. We waited for an hour while they were running our "numbers"....no one ever checked on us. When he finally brought the paper work out the gentlemen couldn't explain it to us and had to get the award winning personality of Jay Lesco (obviously spoiled little son of the dealership) who said they were slammed (3 customers in the place) that's why they couldn't tell us what was going on. When we asked him to explain the finance charge and I told him I would like to know my credit report he exclaimed "well you didn't ask". Last 5 times I bought a car they explained it to me without asking?? We actually had the paperwork in front of us and got up when Jay Lesco stated "fine then don't buy your car from us".....Even if you have to pay a slightly higher price it would be well worth it not to deal with the people in this dealership!!

My Review of Lasco Ford:
Phil Lasco, the owner, has a bit of an attitude when dealing with customer issues. Then there are the 2 sons, busted by Immigration & Customs Enforcement for money laundering, drug distribution, and conspiracy to distribute. See the following for the news release www.ice.gov/pi/news/newsreleases/articles/20050406detroit.htm
The youngest son Jay can have a bit of a smart S#@$ attitude when dealing with customwers also. I found Bob the service manager totally useless in trying to accomplish anything toward a reasonable solution to anything.

My Review of Lasco Ford:
Salesman said vehicle had a 6 cylinder engine when in fact it was only a 4. Made us wait an extremely long time while "running numbers" Not only that but I left some cds in my trade-in and when I asked to have them sent to me he said he couldn't find them. Found out later the general manager of the place just was sent to prison for money laundering. Run far away from this place!!!
