Poor diagnostics, questionable service, and disappointing customer experience I had a very frustrating experience with the service department at Lynch Ford and would not recommend them based on how my sit customer experience I had a very frustrating experience with the service department at Lynch Ford and would not recommend them based on how my situation was handled. My daughter’s car wouldn’t start after school, so I had it towed to a local repair shop (K&M Repair). During basic troubleshooting, they found the engine had over 8 quarts of oil, and both the oil and filter contained metal shavings, indicating possible internal engine damage. This raised serious concerns that the engine may have been damaged from being overfilled during a prior service at Lynch Ford. When I contacted Lynch Ford, they had the vehicle towed to their shop. However, once it arrived, they did not properly investigate the issue. They did not perform a thorough diagnostic or address the excessive oil or potential engine damage. Instead, they refilled the oil, installed a new filter, and attempted to start the vehicle. They determined it wouldn't start because of a fuel pump issue and stopped there. The starting issue and fuel pump were not why we contacted them—we contacted them because of the excess oil and metal shavings. The main concern — possible engine damage from overfilling — was never addressed. Despite this, they charged us for: - Towing to their shop (which they arranged) - Diagnostic fees - Oil and filter - Towing back to the original shop The total cost exceeded $600, and the primary issue was never properly investigated. This experience showed a lack of thoroughness, poor communication, and a failure to take accountability for a serious mechanical concern. My household has serviced two vehicles at Lynch Ford, and my mother also brought her vehicle there based on our long-standing relationship. Over 15 years, we had only one prior issue, which they resolved at the time. However, after this experience, we will no longer return and will be servicing all of our vehicles elsewhere — including two recently purchased vehicles. In total, they have lost the business of five vehicles. Very disappointed. More

My family has been customers for about 15 years. I appreciate that I can tell Jeff Hird what I’m looking for in a vehicle and he does research so we have a short list to try out. Great time saver.
