At 6000 miles (at which point the truck was one year old BTW) took it in and a road force balance greatly improved the problem, enough that I wrote it off as a characteristic of an F350. Roll forward to May 2019 while doing an oil change I requested balance and rotate. Now we’re at about 15K miles BTW, so not a highly used or abused truck. I noticed nothing leaving Maxey and heading back to South Lyon...until the next morning when I went out and as I was getting on 96 I realized the steering wheel was not shaking but oscillating. It cleared up but still felt weird. On my return trip it happened again and I drove straight to Maxey, knowing there was a tire issue, and had them rotate the tires back. It took two additional visits to finally identify two “bad” tires - they would “balance” fine but their road force numbers indicated they would also put forces into the chassis which when the tires phased together, since corners cause one to roll farther than the other, the vibration was irritating. I don’t think the tech got it at first but Jim took the time to drive some extra time and once he felt it the problem was going to be solved! As I write this I’m 400 miles into a drive to Florida with a loaded 24’ trailer, which I have done twice this year prior to the repair, and the truck is smooth! Thanks Jim and company for getting to the bottom of it! More

Lincoln MKZ Had the WORKS done. It was done timely and everything was described as perfect. Two days later the AC quit. The car has less than 40,000 mi Had the WORKS done. It was done timely and everything was described as perfect. Two days later the AC quit. The car has less than 40,000 miles so AC quitting surprised me, especially after being described as perfect. I do not blame Maxey but timing looked bad. Maxey is easy to deal with. Unless a dealer is head and shoulders above the competition I make no recommendations which is why I put no on would I recommend Maxey. I wouldn't tell anyone not to use Maxey. More

Lack of detail in service Bought a new escape & they gave us a free oil change...i guess that doesnt include resetting the oil change moniter on the computer. Idiots.
