The service department was unremarkable and the service representative was unfriendly and bordering on rude. The service waiting area was uncomfortable with no complementary refreshments offered. My experience with tithe Walker Ford dealership was the most unsatisfying I have ever experienced with a car dealership. I cannot recommend Walker Ford dealership to anyone. I will be in the market for a new Ford explore at the end of the year, but because of my experience with Walker Ford service department, I will not be doing business with Walker Ford. More

Complimentary oil change First I have to say our original buying experience with Jake Halterman was much easier than most dealerships so we would give him 5 stars. Today we w First I have to say our original buying experience with Jake Halterman was much easier than most dealerships so we would give him 5 stars. Today we went for the first oil change provided by the dealership and we were very pleasantly surprised there was really no charge and they rotated the tires! I say surprised because our experience with other dealerships was never this smooth or actually no charge.....compliments to Walker Ford and when it’s time for us to purchase another car you will be the first place we look...thank you...Kay and Jim Broderick More

Felt sort of taken, but can't hold it against them I purchased my 09 Flex from a dealer in Tampa and I'm outside their service shuttle zone, so I decided to try Walker Ford for my service needs since t I purchased my 09 Flex from a dealer in Tampa and I'm outside their service shuttle zone, so I decided to try Walker Ford for my service needs since they're 10 minutes from my house. The AC in my 09 Flex began acting up, it would not blow cold whenever I was idling or stopped. Like most folks with an internet connected device I immediately began searching online and found that this problem is a common occurrence and even had a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) issued back in 09 when Ford became aware that a bad sensor was causing the issue. On my first visit I explained the symptoms to my adviser Dan Victory and mentioned the TSB. The vehicle was diagnosed as needing recharged and the AC system serviced. Paid $200+ for that service, drove from the dealer ran some errands with no issues, until I headed home and it began doing the same thing. I thought perhaps it was a fluke so I let it go for a few days but the problem persisted so I called and made another appointment for the next week. I mentioned the TSB again, this time I was told some sensor was out and that while it wasn't the one the TSB mentioned it was related. I was also told that my cooling fan assembly was going bad and would need to be replaced. None of these repairs are covered under my warranty. So I paid for the sensor and began figuring out how I could afford to have the cooling fan assembly replaced. Meanwhile my AC continued to not blow cold while I was idling or stopped. I ended up having another ASE certified shop replace the cooling fan assembly as they were able to do it for about $450 less than Ford, and now my AC works like a champ. They did mention that the cooling fan assembly on the vehicle was replaced before and it would appear that cheap parts were used which could explain why after only 2 years it was needing replaced again...they put the new fan and the old one side by side and their was a noticeable difference. (Not Walker Fords problem, just sharing for the record.) The symptoms described to me on my second visit to indicate the cooling fan was beginning to fail had been present on the Flex since I drove it off the dealers lot in Tampa. Which is why I feel sort of taken (by Walker Ford), since I know for certain they were present the first time I brought the vehicle in to Walker and wasn't told about it. All that being said: I will return to Walker for service. I do/have recommended them. Dan Victory is an upfront and honest guy who is at the mercy of technicians whom he has no control over to provide him information on customer's vehicles. None of my displeasure is geared towards Dan or any of the service advisers/management. I just wish the technicians would have told me sooner the fan was going bad, as that seems to have been the issue. As the title of this review states though I can't hold it against them. Diagnosing car problems is like diagnosing medical conditions, it's not a science, it's an art and one artist (technician) may be far more skilled than another. Most of my gripe is with my Tampa dealer whose inspection process was obviously not nearly as thorough as they led me to believe. More
