Southgate Lincoln

Dealer is horrible. When I took the car to the dealer at 8:00am Wednesday February 22, 2023. I told the Service Advisor Craig what was wrong and what I did. About 2:00 When I took the car to the dealer at 8:00am Wednesday February 22, 2023. I told the Service Advisor Craig what was wrong and what I did. About 2:00pm I got a call from Craig saying it was fixed. The technician reset the HVAC and Airbag modules. When I picked it up I didn't see Craig so I went to the Customer Service desk paid for the repair, went to the prep garage to pick up my car. When I drove it home I didn't think the vent flow was good but I wanted my wife to tell me because it's her car. I just knew it's nothing like my 2018 Fusion with the same Sync system. The next day we took the car out my wife said the flow was the same and our airbag light came on. I was really upset that the car wasn't fixed so I called Craig and left him a message on Friday February 24, 2023 @ 1:30PM. I told him who I was, that the car was not fixed and that I needed him to call me as soon as possibly to get the car back in. When I didn't here from Craig on Friday. I went on-line and scheduled an appointment as a backup plan. As this week went by, I didn't hear from Craig, I was upset but I didn't call him again because I had an appointment and I wanted to see if he'd call. My wife and I brought the car into your dealer at 8:00am Friday March 3, 2023. I mentioned to Craig that I left a message last Friday and he never returned my call. He said he was out one day and really backed up. I understand a delay but a week and still no call is totally unacceptable. I didn't say anything at the time to allow my wife to explain what her version of the issues were. When my wife explained the low flow issue Craig told her that Lincoln's are designed that way so the air doesn't blow in your face. Maria responded but do they allow your windows to fog so bad that water literally drips. She then asked Craig to turn on the fan of one of your cars in the dealer showroom to verify what Craig said. Craig responded those were newer vehicles and have been updated so they're not the same. That is definitely when I had it with Craig. I told him it was ridiculous what he just said to my wife and that it was inexcusable not calling me back. I said I had a 8:00am appointment a week and a half ago. You didn't look at it until 2:00pm, told me it was fixed and I had the same issues. I had to wait 10 days to get it back in because you never called me back, so I'm not waiting all day to find out to get it fixed. I want the car looked at now, not this afternoon. Craig's response was the 8:00am appointment was with him not the technician. I about lost it, I said I want to talk to the service manager. Then he agreed to get it looked at now. As my wife and I got up to leave Craig got up as well and went to the service prep area if front of us. We were right behind him and he purposely closed the door on us. I received a call at 4:00pm today from Craig to tell me they cleared the codes and can't recreate the issue. I told Craig did your technician physically check the flow and does he think it is normal. Craig then tried to make the excuse because my car has a branded title that that was the reason why. He said they can look at it but I have to pay $175.00 an hour for the diagnosis and was I prepared to authorize it. I told Craig you've had it two days and all you've done is clear the codes. I wouldn't pay $175.00 an hour for a fishing expedition. I then said if I go there and run the self diagnostics on the HVAC system and there are codes someone will be held responsible. Then I asked to talk to the service manager. That is when I spoke to Elisabeth the General Manager. I wanted my money reimbursed and to take the car home. Elisabeth said she has a new Service Manager Monday and that they wanted the opportunity. I agreed to work with the new Service Manager. Monday March 6 the new Service Manager called to tell me the technician that worked on the car was out sick. Car has not been fixed and I haven't been reimbursed More

My first appointment was Nov. 30th,they had my car for a week and didn't address any of the issues that I brought it in for,the second appointment was today,Jan 3rd.My husband arri 30th,they had my car for a week and didn't address any of the issues that I brought it in for,the second appointment was today,Jan 3rd.My husband arrived for the 10am appointment and more than an hr later he asked for his keys and left,it was very obvious,even though pictures were taken at the first appointment that nothing would be accomplished today and likely not ever!Our Lincoln is a beautiful car,we are very happy with it and our sales experience was a pleasure,but trying to get this warranty work addressed is a huge dissapointment!I come from many generations of family building and maintaining automobiles and the service department at Southgate Lincoln is an embarrassment to all those who came before them,they should be ashamed!!!

Went from Ford to Lincoln. After emailing my Ford salesman for months he finally called me and said my lease is due. He wanted me to call Ford to extend my lease After emailing my Ford salesman for months he finally called me and said my lease is due. He wanted me to call Ford to extend my lease for a year and order something. He was impatient. I called and was on hold with Ford for 40 minutes and never got thru. My wife told me to check out Southgate Lincoln. I did. Lincoln is great, the salesman explained the models that Lincoln offered, pricing, etc... In about an hour or so we had consummated the deal. I'm really impressed with the luxury of my new Lincoln. Compared to driving Ford, Lincoln really is a step up in styling and comfort. Ford dealership is a tile floored, metal chairs with plastic seats type of place. Busy with a loud PA overhead blasting out messages interrupting thoughts and conversations, it's a setting that would give anyone a splitting headache. The salesmen seem to always be multi-tasking and employees are rushing around chaotic. Lincoln dealership is an elegant relaxing comfortable atmosphere, very plush. To give you a visual, there are upholstered seats with wooden tables arranged in pods or living rooms. The spacious walkways are lined with luxurious Lincoln vehicles. There are tall glass soundproof walls that contain the offices of the dealership. You don't see or hear the office employees. No noise. The sales staff that you do see are attentive and efficient. Overall the dealership makes you feel like you are the only client. The whole experience was very comfortable, quick and easy. I would definitely recommend this dealership and checking out Lincoln.
