Palmetto Ford Lincoln - Service Center

DISAPPOINTED IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND OWNER FOR NOT RETURNING MY PHONE CALLS I have a 2014 Ford Fusion with less than 75,000 miles on it. Car was making a whining noise, brought it to Firestone, they RETURNING MY PHONE CALLS I have a 2014 Ford Fusion with less than 75,000 miles on it. Car was making a whining noise, brought it to Firestone, they replaced the serpentine belt tensioner and the alternator; car continued to make same noise, so Firestone recommended bringing it to Ford dealership. I was not charged for parts or labor by Firestone as they owned up to their mistake. Ford finally able to see me after approx 3 weeks time; their diagnostics said the noise was coming from the alternator. I informed them that alternator was brand new; they said Firestone used wrong alternator. Ford then replaced the alternator but noise continued. Ford then stated it was water pump which they replaced. I was charged for both services and labor. I then took Firestones alternator back to them, explained what happened at Ford; they tested the alternator and it passed and did not make any noise. I do not feel that Ford should have charged me for the alternator as that appears to never have been the problem. Of note, the car has less than 75k miles and this is the third alternator and third water pump. In Fords favor was them giving me a nice rental vehicle while work was being done but then only deducted $500 from total bill of over $3000. I am very upset that I had to pay for the alternator/labor as it appears that it was never faulty. I left multiple messages for the owner to call me to discuss this as the service manager said he could not take any more of the charges off but never heard from him. More

Directed toward 2 specific Parts Specialist only. Not the dealership itself. Unfortunately, I am going to have to leave a not so nice review for Mr. Roger Early And his Lovely parts "Specialist" Mi Not the dealership itself. Unfortunately, I am going to have to leave a not so nice review for Mr. Roger Early And his Lovely parts "Specialist" Miss Ashley. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED AS RUDLEY AS I WAS TODAY BY THE BOTH OF THEM. Resulting in my being "KICKED OUT" of the Palmetto Ford Parts Department and telling my boss and I that we could take our business elsewhere....All of this was over some confusion with a part/part number that we have been trying to get figured out. I was told by Mr. Roger that I was wasting too much of their time and that it was BAD BUISNESS, and since I was so careless in ripping up his sticker he could no longer check the part back in and slid the box across the counter to Ashley telling her to THROW IT IN THE TRASH! . Miss Ashley was Already yelling at a different customer on the phone when I walked in telling him that "THERES NOTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU SIR" "ANYTHING ELSE SIR!!!" So Rude. the same way she spoke to me on the phone yesterday.(I could feel his pain) I at one point handed my phone to Mr. Roger to let him speak to my boss, his tone and way of handling the situation was Very Irate, as he pounded on his chest to let my boss know that they were unable to help us with the restocking fees....(not really a big deal as it was probably only about $5.00). They seemed a little overwhelmed there and aren't we all. I am a body tech so I KNOW that the parts transactions aren't always smooth. But, How was I Wasting their time? They Are The Parts Department!!!!! THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE PAID TO SPEND THEIR TIME ON,, OR IS IT? Bottom line we Usually use Jones Ford Anyway AND WILL NOT BE PUCHASING ANYMORE PARTS FROM PALMETTO FORD PARTS DEPARTMENT!! THANKS! Hope you all had a great laugh.. because my next words are going in a Letter to Mr. Graham Eubank. More

GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR SERVICE! Let me start by saying that I am a Ford guy. I have owned more than 10 cars & trucks and dealt with multiple dealerships. This dealer is by far the Let me start by saying that I am a Ford guy. I have owned more than 10 cars & trucks and dealt with multiple dealerships. This dealer is by far the worst service wise and that's not even close. Brought my Bronco Sport in as the audio went completely out. We were told it was an electrical component. After 45 days Kyle actually told me he would call me and to stop calling him. Is a weekly call too much? I did call 3 times to just schedule an oil change and didn't get a single call back. Guess they don't want my business or money. Long story short we had to drive back to where we originally bought the vehicle and they fixed as it was actually a software problem. They have been so frustrating to deal with I wouldn't even buy my next Ford here. More

Service department needs to be completely overhauled. The most unprofessional human beings ever. Not worth the headache The most unprofessional human beings ever. Not worth the headache More

why bother having an online appointment maker ? made an appointment for my ford F 53 chassis on my motorhome. Why ? because they serviced it last time. Got an email with appointment date and time made an appointment for my ford F 53 chassis on my motorhome. Why ? because they serviced it last time. Got an email with appointment date and time and service agent. So, i show up and the wise Guys in the office where my service dude was says we don't work on motorhomes. I asked since when because i had it serviced there last time. I have a paper here with the info. he says well our computers do not know its a motorhome. My paper with Palmetto Ford all over it says F 53 chassis and motorhome. Just wanted an oil change. Chassis service not Motorhomes work. So, i am to believe this service agent this was assigned to does not get a report to know who is coming that day in what vehicle and what time ? if this is true, then why bother with the online service thing? Huge waste of time, cruddy way to be treated. They need customer service class. Horrible. More

Worst customer service ever experienced. Manager literally hung up on me-the place lost my car. Then found my car. Had a service team member tell say “looks like another one that got towed in and we literally hung up on me-the place lost my car. Then found my car. Had a service team member tell say “looks like another one that got towed in and we didn’t even touch it.” Apparently, this happens a lot. Was Travis helpful in any way? No. In fact, he laughed at my predicament. I have never had the treatment I received from this place-and Travis himself! More

We drove up from Connecticut and had a major problem which required a complete new engine. Joe Luciano wasted no time taking good care of us including getting us a car rental setup………he was a life save which required a complete new engine. Joe Luciano wasted no time taking good care of us including getting us a car rental setup………he was a life saver! If I could, I would get Joe a job here in Connecticut at Whaling City Ford. He was the light at the end of our tunnel……we got the car back and drove it back to Connecticut. It ran beautifully, and got almost 30 mpg where the old engine never did better then 19 mpg………Palmetto Ford is number one in my book and so is Joe Luciano…….I also want to thank all the Ford Mechanics who worked on the car…….they did a spectacular job……….many thanks! P.S. I would be glad to do a commercial for your dealership………you folks turned what could have been a nightmare into a good experience………for that, my Wife Lynda and I thank you so much……… More
