The only reason I am giving this experience a 3 is because Aimee in service was so helpful. Day 1: I was having an issue with my Mustang so I brought my car into the dealership to get fixed. Aimee i because Aimee in service was so helpful. Day 1: I was having an issue with my Mustang so I brought my car into the dealership to get fixed. Aimee in Service was AMAZING!! But my great experience ended there. I dropped off my car after work around 4:30pm (mind you they close at 6pm) and was advised over the phone that they will have a shuttle available to take me home. I wait over an hour and finally someone offers to take me home. This poor Porter didn't know what he was doing. He said to me "the shuttle guy is supposed to come down and check if anyone else needs a ride before he leaves for the day, but I guess didn't today". To my surprise I was at least grateful to get a ride home, but I think that an explanation or an apology would have been great before I got in the car with this random Porter. Day 2: I get a call from Aimee in service, that morning around 9am about the repairs needed on my car. The price was MUCH more than I anticipated. I asked if trading in my vehicle would be an option since I was driving a Mustang and a more practical family vehicle will be needed in my near future since I have a little one on the way. Aimee eagerly said that she would have someone in sales call me. I expressed to her that since this is my only car I needed to act fast and either tell her to fix my car or I will need to be driving off in a new vehicle that evening. Around 2pm I still had not heard from a salesman. I called Aimee and she had someone call me right away. Mike in new car sales called me and was very nice. He gathered some information from me and said he would run some numbers and see if the financing was even feasible (since that was my main concern). About an hour later I had an Alex Padilla (I think that was his name) call me from used car sales. He said that Mike is busy and since I am interested in a used car he sent me to Alex. Alex is the cliche used car salesman from as soon as he said "hello". Saying phrases like "how can I get you in the door" or "how soon can you come down" along with the typical ambiguous responses when you ask a specific yes or no question. It didn't seem like he knew my situation or even what Mike and I had spoke about. I was immediately turned off. I called Aimee after I got off the phone with Alex and said that there is no way that my personality and his will work. She was very polite and said that when I come down after work she will personally walk me over and make sure I get put with a great salesman. I get there and she walks me over and introduces me to Peter. Peter is very nice and liked to chat. I don't feel that he completely listened to my wants, but was a great breath of fresh air from Alex's high pressure personality. Peter and I didn't find a car that fit my needs. I found one SUV that I liked in their sister company in North Scottsdale, but didn't have the time or the energy to wait to see it. I asked Peter if the financing is ok, because that was my main concern and he said that they would have to see what my trade in is worth. I was surprised because I have been talking to them on the phone since 9am that morning and my car has been there for over 24 hours. The evening was getting late so I said I just want my car back (it was still driveable) and you can run all the numbers and call me tomorrow morning with the details. He was very polite and said he would call me in the morning. I went back to Aimee in service (now 5:30pm) and told her that I just want my car back. She said give me a few min so I can have them put the center counsel back together. About 15 min later she comes back and says that all the tech's have left for the day and that they can't put the car back together. Luckily by this point I was not surprised. Aimee did act fast and got me into a loaner car for the night. Day 3: Morning comes and goes and no word from Camelback Ford. I leave a message for Aimee and see if my car has been put back together. She returns my call and it has been completed. She asked if I found a car, I said no, but Peter was supposed to call me this morning and I never heard from him. I think that my word got out there, because in the next hour I got 5 calls from Camelback! I am at work and I just received call after call apologizing for my experience. I appreciated that they may have felt bad or based on the reviews that I have seen this is probably something that they are used to. I got a call from Mike in new car sales apologizing for passing my off the day before, I got a call from Brian his manager confirming an appointment that I have with Mike for the following day (which we had never scheduled), I got a call from Scott in finance assuring me that I am "good to go", I then got a call from Brock the manager of used car sales pretty much saying "we screwed up and we want to make it up to you". He seemed nice, but I had about had it. I went in today to pay my $100 diagnosis fee (which I don't even want to go on about that) and asked for my keys. I drove my mustang straight to another dealership and purchased a wonderful vehicle. After 3 days of straight xx from Camelback Ford, I was in and out of a dealership where I was treated with respect, with a great deal on a car in less than 3 hours. Morale of the story is Aimee you were great and if it wasn't for you I am sure my sanity would have been completely lost. More

I have been bringing my vehicles into Camelback Ford for over five years. I don't think the I would bring my vehicle into anyother dealership. Ms. Caplin has been my service rep since day 1; she has always over five years. I don't think the I would bring my vehicle into anyother dealership. Ms. Caplin has been my service rep since day 1; she has always had a higher standard toward client-dealer relations. She is a diamond in the rough; and she remains the top reason that I service my vehicle through your company. Gary J. Galante More

I have been coming to Camelback Ford since Mel Clayton closed. I came here to follow my service rep, Dawn Caplan. She always takes very good care of me and my car,and is quite knowledgeable about the ve closed. I came here to follow my service rep, Dawn Caplan. She always takes very good care of me and my car,and is quite knowledgeable about the vehicle and it's workings. If something is not to my satisfaction, Dawn makes sure that it is taken care of, and if what I need is not available, she gives me clear options from which to choose. Also to note, if Dawn is not available, Krista Lashley has taken care of me, and she is equally helpful. These ladies are why I keep coming back to Camelback Ford. Even though my car is older, and could be serviced at a small service shop (and sometimes for less money), I know that any service needs will be met quickly and completely, without my having to go back several times... and that is very important to me!

My service advisor Krista Lashley does a great job. Friendly and keeps me in the loop on status of repairs. The parts department need some improvement. Oscar is not friendly and almost always puts me Friendly and keeps me in the loop on status of repairs. The parts department need some improvement. Oscar is not friendly and almost always puts me on hold for long periods. I think you need more people answering the phones in parts. Delivery people alwasys take a long time to get parts to shop. Sometimes they do not even show up. If they do show up, they cannot remember to come around to shop. Instead they drop off with receptionist. You need to have notes for each customer so the parts runners know where to go and who their contact is. More

Camelback Ford has the most unbelievable customer service ever!! Take today for example. I have somehow managed to lose my only key for the '06 F150 I bought 2 years ago and Will in the sales department wa ever!! Take today for example. I have somehow managed to lose my only key for the '06 F150 I bought 2 years ago and Will in the sales department was able to do the unthinkable for me. He is sending a technician here to my home to make me a spare so that I can carry on with my normal life of taking care of my two baby girls and getting to work. If he hadn't done what he did for me I wouldn't even be able to get to work to pay for this beautiful truck. Beyond just today, when I first purchased this truck they went above and beyond making things right with it. From the rear window switch, chips in the windshield, torn seat pocket, to the more important leaking rear seal...they managed to fix everything and make this the the truck that I've driven proudly for 2 years. I would like to commend them and all their staff for making the purchase of this truck perfect. I WILL be back to Camelback Ford for the purchase of my next vehicle. Thank you to all the folks there!!! Respectfully, Angela Archer Anthem, AZ More

My experience with this dealer has been for providing periodic routine service for my 2006 Lincoln LS. They honor the lifetime oil/filter change agreement I had with Scottsdale Lincoln Mercury, where I b periodic routine service for my 2006 Lincoln LS. They honor the lifetime oil/filter change agreement I had with Scottsdale Lincoln Mercury, where I bought it. Camelback Ford, Lincoln, Mercury took over that business when they closed. My Lincoln LS now has about 36,000 miles on it, and it has never needed any repairs other than routine maintenance, so my experience with this dealer has only involved routing service. They have always been very friendly and prompt, and they informed me when my cabin filter was dirty. They have always returned my car in a clean and ready condition, except for once when the odometer had been changed to metric readout, which they quickly fixed. My only complaints are minor, like leaving my radio tuned to a crap music station and leaving the A/C set to -40°... adjustments I can immediately correct. More
