UN~SATISFIED CUSTOMER Hoffman Ford East Hartford, Connecticut After 2 vehicles and almost 20 years as a customer, I am no longer confident in the service given there. I Hoffman Ford East Hartford, Connecticut After 2 vehicles and almost 20 years as a customer, I am no longer confident in the service given there. I could not recommend this company to anyone. I am now looking for another dealership to service my truck. On the 19th of February 2015. This is what happened Check engine comes on. On my way to work my truck dies, I get it started & can't go over 20 mph. I made it to work and had to have it towed to Hoffman Ford (7:00). I called the dealership & spoke with Rep. Jason Peltz, I informed Jason that my truck broke down and at this time it was being towed to Hoffman Ford. By 2pm I hadn't heard anything from Jason, so I figured I better call (this was 2pm). The response I received was "We don't have your truck". I say "What, I sent it there @ 8 am!" Jason's response "ok I'll look on the lot". Mean while I get on the phone with my insurance company (who towed my vehicle), who in turn made some calls, and the tow company contacts me & tells me that they dropped off my vehicle At 8:30 am. At the same time Jason calls me, (now it's 3 pm) to tell me that they found my truck on the lot...! The tow truck driver failed to bring in the keys... (But I informed you to be on the look-out) we'll look at it tomorrow.. (A whole day lost) As I see it all we're all at fault here, * truck driver for not bringing in the keys, * Me for not calling earlier to check on the truck (I'm thinking I told you that it was coming in was enough) * Dealer Rep. Not being on the look out.. A $4,300.- bill.

Total paid thus far for Check engine light coming on, Turbo under boost $6,200.00 September 14, 2016 Mile in 127245 (miles driven 9,372) Check engine light comes on Diagnostics performed Turbo under boost I was told that Cylinder 1, 3 & 4 are bad and that it was going to cost $2,500.00 to repair. STOP AND DONT DO ANYTHING...! I go to pay for the diagnostics test, I notice that the paperwork that I paid for was not the same as the paperwork the dealership had me sign for. I requested a copy of the same paperwork that I was signing for and was told NO I CANT GET A COPY OF THIS PAPERWORK, but I paid $148 I should have everything that you came up with! No this is confidential. Fine give me my truck.. I take it to another shop and it turns out I just needed a Turbo Actuator $400.00, not Cylinders (costing me 1, 3 & 4 are not bad and that it wasn't going to cost $2,500.00 to repair. It also cost me $400 in labor for a grand total of $800. NOT $2,500.00.....! A PERSON GOES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAYS THE EXTRA COST TO GET THE JOB DONE RIGHT THE 1ST TIME.. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE IVE GOTTEN FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS...! More

First Visit...Pleasant One I recently inherited a Ford and had it shipped here from Florida. Not having any knowledge of the service history, and eventually giving the car to m I recently inherited a Ford and had it shipped here from Florida. Not having any knowledge of the service history, and eventually giving the car to my young daughter, I wanted it to be looked over from top to bottom. I am not from the area but work 5 minutes away. I looked up the local Ford Dealership/Service and discovered Hoffman. Making the appointment, Dropping off and subsequent Shuttle service was all smooth and easy. Car needed an extra day to complete, so I picked it up, and ran through the same process the next day. Jason was patient and tolerated my inability to properly explain foreign noises....and in the end, I knew he made sure everything was running smoothly. Andrew, the shuttle driver who ended up driving me 4 times was just as friendly. So my car is fixed, I have peace of mind, and even though Hoffman is not in my back yard, I will come back when needed as they proved themselves to me to be reputable and customer focused.. More
30000 mile service for my Lincoln MKC at Hoffman As always, I was impressed with the efficiency of the service department. When I drove in, I was immediately greeted and signed up, then passed to Bar As always, I was impressed with the efficiency of the service department. When I drove in, I was immediately greeted and signed up, then passed to Barbour Brian, my service writer who logged me in and detailed what was required for the 30000 mile check. The waiting room was comfortable and coffee was available with quite a few Keurig pod selections. Barbour came in to give me an interim update and verify filter changes that were required. The time it took to complete service was probably 15-30 minutes faster than my mental estimate, so I was quite pleased overall with the entire experience. More

Oversold routine maintenance Up to the scheduled 30,000 mile servicing I was very satisfied with Hoffman Ford's service and sales department. At this milestone, the professional Up to the scheduled 30,000 mile servicing I was very satisfied with Hoffman Ford's service and sales department. At this milestone, the professional customer service rep attempted to and probably did oversell what repairs my 2015 Escape required. Besides the usual oil change and inspections, he brought up other fluid changes including transmission and brake fluids. Brian also recommended changing the air and cabin filters. Somewhat knowledgeable, I was surprised by the suggested changing of those fluids at this early mileage interval. The filters were left at 'let's inspect and see'. Since I was waiting for the oil change and inspections, Brian came out to tell me that both the air filter and cabin filter needed replacing - he did not show me the dirty parts. I gave approval to replace those filters. Afterward I check suggested maintenance and found that normally air filters should be checked and changed at 60,000 miles and cabin filters at 30,000 miles. This upsell took my $50 routine visit to over $150 - after I requested a 10% discount. I should have checked the suggested maintenance schedule at home and not trusted this employee and representative of Hoffman Ford. More

Long Wait, Incompetent Service I made an appointment for my brand new 2016 Edge in for its first oil change and tire rotation. In addition, the left rear door gasket was flapping in I made an appointment for my brand new 2016 Edge in for its first oil change and tire rotation. In addition, the left rear door gasket was flapping in the breeze and needed to be fixed. Upon arrival, the service associate had no record of my request to have the gasket fixed. I then waited an HOUR AND A HALF (remember - I had an APPOINTMENT) for them to complete my oil change and tire rotation, and for the technician to say he couldn't find anything wrong with the gasket. Now, my 10 year old, who sits on that side of the car, has repeatedly noticed it was unattached. So the sales associate went over to the vehicle, took one look, and said "please have a seat while I verbally berate the service technician." She was steamed, and so was I. I will NOT be bringing my vehicle to Hoffman for its future service needs. If a service technician is either too lazy or incompetent to notice an obvious issue that literally a 10 year-old child noticed, I don't have any trust that they will accurately diagnose and correct future undoubtedly more complex issues.
