Service department Never will visit this dealer again the service department. They took too long to fix vehicle.

They lied about what is wrong with vehicle and when parts would be coming into dealership. The vehicle was there for 3 weeks, for a one day job. The service people were not nice to customer. They did talk down to me, like I was 5. They said one thing, then something else. I think they should be retrained or fired. More
Not what I expected from Hoffman I bought a brand new vehicle at Hoffman Ford because I thought of them as reputable and a cut above the other dealers.

I passed 5 ford dealers to get to Hartford and decided to buy my new vehicle there. During the financing with Fran, I was sold the Simonize package for $1500. after watching a video presentation on it. It takes a few hours to do the Simonize so I scheduled an appointment with service. Went to my appointment, almost an hour drive for me, and was told that we had to reschedule so they could get me a loaner as it would take more than a day, so I did. A week later I came back - again an hour drive each way - dropped off my car and left with the loaner. A few days later get the call my car is ready. I went to pick it up and it looked nice and shiny....but it looks that way after a car wash for $25. I left and headed home and thought I would check it out. The outside appeared to be Simonized/waxed and the front seats as well. I have rubber mats in the floor and they were never removed to do the carpets as I have tape on them and would know if they had been removed - same with the back seat and the back carpets - not done - and the third row seating was still wrapped in factory plastic so they were never treated and neither was the cargo area - I have a heavy plastic mat taped down and would know if they removed it to Simonize. I called service asked for the Dept that does the Simonize and I was told they send it out to a third party. I asked to speak to them so I could let them know I think the carpet throughout and back seats weren't done. I was told they would have the company call me - after one week of no calls - I called George again. Told him I haven't heard back from anyone and he said he would contact them and have them call me. So I waited - almost 2 weeks and called Hoffman back. This time I left messages with Billy the Ford Sales General Manager, Dave the Sales Manager, Jeff the Service Manager, and George the auto body manager who took my car for Simonize treatment. I let them know how I spent $1500. for a treatment that was to be done throughout the car and it wasn't done as per the agreement. It is now one month later and I have never received a call back from anyone - complete silence. I am shocked that this is how they handle their customer service. Hoffman, driven by trust, is their motto, but I have been driven the run around with no answers and no solutions. I consider myself a good customer who buys new cars every three years and would've liked to build a long relationship with Hoffman, but unfortunately they don't even call me back - so I guess they don't need my business. Today there is still no resolution to my issue of not getting what I was sold for $1500. Shocking....... just shocking...... More
Great experience Hoffman Ford is the fourth local dealer that I have tried for service. So far, Hoffman is by far the beast. Nice to be greeted in person, escorted to Hoffman Ford is the fourth local dealer that I have tried for service. So far, Hoffman is by far the beast. Nice to be greeted in person, escorted to a Service Advisors office (not a counter), have an Advisor without an attitude and to top it off, my truck was washed when returned. And not a quick wash, a very thorough wash including the wheels. More

Re-write of my experience This is a re-write of a review from a week ago of my experience at Hoffman Ford Lincoln. The first time there, I dealt with Tianna. I had a humming This is a re-write of a review from a week ago of my experience at Hoffman Ford Lincoln. The first time there, I dealt with Tianna. I had a humming noise in the front driver side wheel. It was a bad bearing. She Scheduled an appointment for the next week because they had to order the parts. When I came back, I had Jason Pealtz help me. It was not Jason Grant. An not sure if I spelled his last name right or not. I couldn't remember Jason's last name when I wrote the last review. So I just wrote his first name. When I went back and read the reviews, I noticed that Jason Grant's name was posted. I called Hoffman motors to try to speak to a manager to fix this. Just wanted to clear the air about that and just write another review. Jason was great. I then came back again because the traction control light would sporadically come on and the shifter would get stuck after start-up. I was helped by Karen Spatafora. She was also great. I will come back in the future and be helped by whomever is there. More

Jeff Dorman went above and beyond what was necessary to keep my car safe and to allow me to travel home (Pennsylvania ) . I have told so many about my situation with faulty brakes and Jeff putting forth the extra effort to get me back on the road asap.
