2014 transmission service I own a fleet of motorhomes and one of them got to the millage to service the transmission. I called the service department and talked to "Sofia". Exp I own a fleet of motorhomes and one of them got to the millage to service the transmission. I called the service department and talked to "Sofia". Explained the whole thing. Ford changed the specs on the transmission so you can no longer flush it, now you have to drop the pan and change the internal filter. I asked if they would service it, she said to come at 1:30, I could wait for it. Took the afternoon off, drove 60 miles, got there, NONE of the TECHS new how to service the transmission, they were dissing me because I was telling them they did not know the new procedure. After a LOT of talking and asking, they finally went to the technical documents and found out I was wrong. They would have destroyed my transmission should I have not insisted on them looking up the procedure. At that point they told me that although the new procedure is shorter in time and they did have all the parts, they could not do it while I was waiting, I had to schedule an appointment (which I DID) Tried to talk to the manager, was not available (conveniently). I called, left a message, did not get a call back. Want a dealer that will work on your car without verifying how the work should be done? This is the place for you. I will follow up with complains to Ford and BBB. I may never be able to have them work on my units, but I will make sure that anybody willing to read or listed gets exposure to my experience. More

Best service ever!! I went to palm bay ford for a service check up and get a leaking gear box fixed on my F 250. I had discussed all of my issues to Glenn Harris. He assu I went to palm bay ford for a service check up and get a leaking gear box fixed on my F 250. I had discussed all of my issues to Glenn Harris. He assured me everything would be taken care of. And I am pleased to say Glenn and his department went over the call of duty to fix all of the problems, they did it in a timely matter and the price was very reasonable. My truck is back together and runs and handles like brand new. I am very pleased. Highly recommend!! I would not go anywhere else but palm bay Ford for all my truck needs. Thanks again Glenn for making for a great experience at Palm bay Ford service department. More

parts service I ordered parts for my car. I got them on time and they were correct but the female employee on the front counter was very rude. Made me feel like I I ordered parts for my car. I got them on time and they were correct but the female employee on the front counter was very rude. Made me feel like I was an inconvenience. Talked to me like I was a very stupid person and constantly cut me off with every statement I made. I do not want to lie... the parts were correct, they came in very fast and the technicians and advisors working on my car were very pleasant but the woman on the front counter in parts had convinced me to never come back again. At least not to her department anyways. More

Great experience thanks to Malcolm! Another great experience with Palm Bay Ford, this time in the service center.

Made an appointment online to have "The Works" completed, for 8/29 at 7:30 AM. My hope was an early appointment would lend itself to a shorter wait time. I'm glad I made the appointment, and I recommend doing so if you plan on visiting the service center. It makes the experience much easier for you, and for the advisors as well. I arrived at 7:15 (ever the early bird), and was greeted by Malcolm a few minutes after my arrival. Unlike other dealerships I've worked with, I was not made to wait until it was 7:30 on the dot to begin the process. He knew who I was and warmly greeted me, and advised me that while the techs would not arrive until 7:30, I was welcome to wait in the lounge. I do so. The lounge was clean, quiet, and coffee was already made. After about 40 minutes, Malcolm came in to let me know my Fiesta was ready. During the checkout process, he brought up my Owner's Advantage Account and took the time to explain the rebate process to me. Overall, I give this entire experience a 10/10. Malcolm is relatively new to the facility, and younger, but carries himself as one who's worked in the industry for many years. I'll definitely be returning for all service needs. TG More

Lost a Customer for Life After my poor experience with the Service department at Palm Bay Ford, I felt obligated to talk about it. All but one of our interactions has been han After my poor experience with the Service department at Palm Bay Ford, I felt obligated to talk about it. All but one of our interactions has been handled by Steve Bjortvedt . On 4 separate occasions to get an oil change on our car, we have been told different things. Steve has said “with an appointment” and also “without an appointment”. On the third trip to get an oil change (01/10/15) we arrived, without an appointment – based on Steve telling us one was not needed. We waited and then Steve was approached. We said we would like to get an oil change. Steve asked if we had an appointment. We said "No" and were informed it would be an hour and 45 mins wait. Puzzled, we mentioned to Steve his prior comments to us about not needing an appointment. Steve said it was true, no appointment was “necessary” but without one, we would have to be squeezed in between those who did have appointments. We did point out to Steve that that was not the information he had told us before so we were a bit frustrated. I was expecting an apology in perhaps wrong information being given to us and/or for any miscommunication, but received nothing. We left that Saturday, without an oil change, but we did leave with an appointment for that very next Saturday at 8:30am. Steve mentioned the oil change would take 45 mins but he could get us out in 30 mins. We greatly appreciated what we believed to be an attempt to rectify the fact we have been told different things during each of our visits. That next Saturday, we arrived and was greeted by a young man. We mentioned we had an 8:30am appointment for an oil change. The young man said, "No problem. It will be about an hour and 45 min to a 2 hour wait". We were floored! Steve approached and the young man repeated for Steve what we said to him. Steve said, "Ok?" Steve did not seem to recognize us so my husband explained our meeting with Steve last Saturday and that we made an appointment because without one last weekend, the wait time was going to be an hour and 45 mins. My husband also explained how we believed appointments to work (we "save" a time and those without appointments are fit in between those with appointments). My husband lastly mentioned that Steve said he would have us out in 30 mins. Steve looked my husband straight in the eye and said, "I never said that. Why would I say that? I would never say that!" It that moment, Steve was basically calling my husband a liar. I mentioned that I too was there and heard Steve say the same things my husband just mentioned, Steve once again said, "I never said that". So now it seems both me and my husbands were liars. My husband and I were stunned. At no point did Steve apologize nor did Steve acknowledge that perhaps there was a misunderstanding. He just stood there smug in his attitude. I know Steve must talk to a lot of customers during his day/week/month; however Steve was the ONLY employee we spoke to, so we definitely recall what Steve said to us. If there had been an apology. This one interaction with Steve has left me extremely disappointed in the kind of customer service I might continue to receive from Palm Bay Ford. Is this lack of customer service acceptable by management? Is Palm Bay Ford ok with how Steve represented their business? I am your customer and I expect to be treated with respect. I do not expect to be called a liar. I do not accept that a business is ok with this kind of representation because like it or not, Steve was Palm Bay Ford to us on that day. Steve was Ford on that day. And we were not pleased. We will not return nor will we recommend Palm Bay Ford to anyone else. We will pass along our experience and how poorly we were treated. We will not purchase our 2015 Ford Fiesta Titanium from Palm Bay Ford. What you lost in this poorly handled interaction with Steve was not the price of an oil change or the sale of our next car, you lost our loyalty. You lost a customer for life. More
