8/14/2026 Not sure where to begin. - LLOUBK
8/14/2026 Not sure where to begin. My Lincoln MKX needed an oil change. Unfortunately, my regular Lincoln Dealership Service Department, could not get me in, until the end of August. So, I opted to have Mastel do it.
Upon arrival at Mastel 8/11/26, I noted the exterior of the building was in need of repair and took it into consideration. But I think, it was the moment I opened the door, and smelled that lingering odor of stale cigarette smoke, that really made me question if I should proceed.
I needed the oil change, so I pushed myself to enter. Michael at the counter, said that they will perform a "multi-point check" on my vehicle, in addition to changing my oil.
I VERY CLEARLY stated "...Please do not touch, look at, or attempt any sort of multi check of my vehicle, just do the oil change...." To which he stated "..we have to do the multi point check, or we can not change your oil...." To which I again stated not to do it.
We went back and forth and it was clear, Mastel Ford of Olean, will not change your oil, unless you allow them to do this multi point check, regardless of your requests.
It took Mastel 2.5 hours to change my oil and two air filters. I feel very insecure and fearful of what might have been done to my vehicle by the service department at Mastel, during this very lengthy appointment.
The final issue with Mastel, looking at the Bill/Invoice which states "...Customer requested a multi point vehicle check...." I mean, really?
I see Mastel Ford as dinosaur that is almost dead, piles of employee cigarette butts on the outside, stinking odor on the inside, strong- arming customers into multi vehicle checks, just to make money. Pathetic. I never asked for the multi vehicle check and anyone who does, should do so with great caution.
I would highly caution anyone, to have this service department touch your vehicle.
Sincerely,
