Here's the follow-up to my previous post. Never did get a call back from a manager or service person. Finally did get someone to answer the phone on Wednesday afternoon. My vehicle was promised by end of day Wednesday, but a later call back said they wouldn't be finished until Thursday Morning. Finally got my car Thursday around 10 AM. The problem was, as I had told them, I needed a new battery. Cost to replace the battery... $355.00 plus $135 towing, plus 3.5 days without my only vehicle. Great job Suburban!!! I'll be looking for a new service department.

I have tried to reach out multiple times for you to resolve your internal incomitance and lack of integrity on repairs to my vehicle. I have talked to each of the persons listed at one star and been blown off. As a Ford employee of almost the decades. I have never experienced such a lack of professionalism, workmanship and customer service. Hence, why I had to get Bill Ford's office involved to have my issues corrected. The Ford Dealer representative didn't even want to deal with your staff and had my vehicle fixed properly at a dealership he trusted. I even gave you another shot with your dealership wanting to buy my 2020 F150 lariat 502a and was given a price that was $8000.00 less then the next lowest offer.
