If I could give negative stars, I would. - lizrodriguez308
If I could give negative stars, I would. I rarely leave reviews—especially working in a customer service-driven industry—but this experience needs to be shared so others know what to expect when dealing with Lincoln of Coconut Creek service.
This has been, without question, the worst dealership service experience I’ve ever had. My husband works in the automotive industry (currently a foreman and previously a master technician), so we understand what good service and communication should look like—and this was nowhere close.
We had our vehicle picked up on a Wednesday, and that part went smoothly. From there, communication completely broke down. We received no confirmation the car arrived, no updates on when it was being looked at, and no proactive outreach at all. We had to repeatedly call just to get basic information.
Days later, we were told only some issues had been validated and that parts were ordered—only to later find out that information wasn’t accurate. The details we were given changed multiple times, which made it impossible to trust what we were being told.
We also specifically requested a technician based on reputation, only to find out ourselves that he wasn’t even there and was in training—something no one communicated to us.
At one point, we were told the car was “pulled apart” and actively being worked on, and that photos would be sent. We never received any photos or follow-up, which raises serious concerns about whether the work was actually being done as described.
We escalated to the service manager, Santos, hoping things would improve, but nothing changed. We still had to chase updates, received inconsistent information, and never got a clear understanding of:
What was actually diagnosed
What parts were truly ordered
What work had been completed
When we could expect our vehicle back
A loaner vehicle was eventually provided, but even that required multiple follow-ups and was delivered without communication.
Today, we were told they were actually unable to validate any of the issues, and that a part they previously claimed to have ordered was instead resolved through a software update. This directly contradicts what we had been told earlier and further erodes any confidence in their process.
When I expressed my frustration and disappointment as a customer, Santos responded by saying, “I’m not doing this with you, ma’am,” and ended the conversation instead of working toward a resolution.
At this point, our vehicle has been there over a week, and we are still without clear answers. The lack of transparency, accountability, and basic communication is unacceptable.
Do not go here.
