I had to take my 2021 Ford F-150 in for a a couple recalls, a non recall issue, and its first service. While I had to leave it for 3 business days to get everything done, I was traveling for work so recalls, a non recall issue, and its first service. While I had to leave it for 3 business days to get everything done, I was traveling for work so it all lined up and wasn’t an issue for me. That said would always be preferable to just book an actual appointment and drop off but that is sort of the way it goes. My service Manager, Chase N., called every morning with a spot on update and I never felt in the dark or they were ghosting me. When I picked up I was pleased that everything was done to success. What impressed me was the fact they wrapped the steering wheel in plastic and had many protections in place leaving the truck as clean as I dropped off. Overall I am very happy after reading all the HORROR stories with virtually all dealerships these days…Great job Northside. More
This dealership rates good in sales service because the customer is getting a new vehicle and that is relatively easy. When is comes to Service - Forget It! This is not an employee problem, but a dealer p customer is getting a new vehicle and that is relatively easy. When is comes to Service - Forget It! This is not an employee problem, but a dealer problem. I had a recall on my truck, I took it in just the notice said. Service told me I needed to leave my truck for 3 to 4 days just to see if it qualified for the recall, then they would order parts and put in line for repairs. They had 90 cars in for electrical. It took the one week to even look at it. I could not pick up my truck and bring it back, as I would loose my place in line. This is not just due to the COVID, even though it is worse now. Northside Ford has always made it hard to bring a vehicle for recalls/repairs. When you take your vehicle in, your told how much it will be if not covered under a warranty or recall. Which is an unrealistic amount. NS Ford charges $140 to just plug in the tool that reads the check engine light. Auto Zone will do this for free. I agree with the others, Northside Ford customer service is the worst! More
They hsd my truck for 7weeks they change 3 parts and the truck and the ac die. I have called several times no response. This is the worst deslership ever. If you want good service and for car or truck and y truck and the ac die. I have called several times no response. This is the worst deslership ever.

Patronizing and dismissive I have gone twice (yes, twice) with a scheduled appointment each time, for routine maintenance and a recall. The first time, the service agent seemed I have gone twice (yes, twice) with a scheduled appointment each time, for routine maintenance and a recall. The first time, the service agent seemed confused and told me I didn’t need the repair. Then he swiftly walked me to the ‘fast lane’ and said they would take care of me. As I continued getting notices of the recall, I again made an appointment for my maintenance and the recall. First, you’re told by the greeter to ‘stand by the wall’ and wait for someone to take care of you. That is just about the rudest way to handle a client/customer. No one looked at me for about 10 minutes- while I stood by the wall like a small child being scolded. Finally a service agent called me over. He looked up the recall per my request and said they wouldn’t be able to do it today because his guys go home at 5. The service center is open til 9 and it was 3:20 pm. He whisked me over to the fast lane. Again. Still no recall fix. The absolute worst service I have ever experienced. The fast lane service agent tried to cheer me up by telling me my name was pretty- it was incredibly sleazy and patronizing- because I am female I am going to get all happy and swoon over a compliment??? I told him my frustration with my experience which is what prompted him to compliment me. He should have called their service manager to fix things. I have no doubt that they treat men differently. I am actually considering getting rid of my 2018 expedition to get away from Ford. More
Service We took our 2018 Expedition in for transmission issue. Advisor told us that it was a predictive shift transmission and the hard shifts were normal. Wh We took our 2018 Expedition in for transmission issue. Advisor told us that it was a predictive shift transmission and the hard shifts were normal. When we asked about the previous 18,000 miles with no issue, we were handed a sheet explaining how a transmission worked. Not being new to mechanic work, we took it to a competitive dealership where they actually drove the car and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. It would benefit your dealership to not be dismissive and condescending when dealing with customers. More
Was helped by an incompetent advisor I went for a quick lube job cuz the maintenance warning light came on. The advisor Charles waited on me. Then I told him that I will be waiting in the I went for a quick lube job cuz the maintenance warning light came on. The advisor Charles waited on me. Then I told him that I will be waiting in the next room where the cafeteria is. I was watching TV and at times talking to other guests. First dumb mistake: he said he came looking for me to let me know that my car was ready. There must have been 4 or 5 guests there at the most and he said he didn't see me. After about one and half hours I decided to check on the status of my car and it was ready half an hour ago. Second dumb mistake the warning light was still on and I asked him if they could get rid of it. He said I had to leave the car there for 2 days and will cost $139 to diagnose it. Javier, the other advisor heard it and reset the light for me for free and took 3 minutes. Very incompetent advisor and could have messed me up big time and I will never use him again More
$80 lightbulb I took my truck in for a service recall from Ford and they did fix that item sufficiently. I asked them could they also change my taillight bulb whil I took my truck in for a service recall from Ford and they did fix that item sufficiently. I asked them could they also change my taillight bulb while I had my truck in. They said, sure. When I picked it up they charge me $88 to put the lightbulb in which probably took him five minutes. I had my sons truck in for some Work at a different shop, and he also had a bulb out. They charged him $22 -still expensive, but maybe more reasonable. I figured their shop rate at about 960 bucks an hour for my lightbulb (Less the cost of the bulb of course). I learn my lesson About dealerships! More
