Northside Ford had my F250 for just over two weeks. Hubs were grinding/churning and check engine light was on. Caitlyn was my contact/Service Adviser. Northside initiated one contact which was to le Hubs were grinding/churning and check engine light was on. Caitlyn was my contact/Service Adviser. Northside initiated one contact which was to let me know it was assigned to a tech. After that, all communications from them were in response to me having to contact them. Each time, there was no status readily available in the system which constituted a call back. The first contact only told me they cleared the trouble code - didn't fix anything, just cleared the code (which can be done at Auto Zone in 5 min). When I asked if they have even looked at the hub actuator, tested the lines for leaks or even pulled a wheel to look at the hubs, the response was "no - but will communicate that to the tech"????. Caitlyn was off for a day or so and no other technician or service advisor called me like she said they would. I called back and left a message for the service manager, John explaining the situation and the lack of work. John did not call me back. Caitlyn called me back and said "your truck is on the rack now, but they can't find anything wrong". I pulled out of the dealership and within 2 miles, the grinding sound was very apparent. Within another 14 miles, the check engine light was on again. So in over two weeks of having my vehicle, they cleared codes. Never checked the hub actuator component, never tested for leaks, never even pulled a wheel to investigate the issue. Didn't test, clear or recommend replacing the oxygen sensor to address the CEL - just cleared the code like that's all it needed. Sure glad I was without my work truck for over 2 weeks. I'll work to find a local shop who cares about the client and who is competent to do the job. More

I spent several thousand dollars to get my vehicle fixed. My wife picks up the car and they add a surcharge fee if you pay by credit card. It's hard to believe you spend that kind of money and they tack on My wife picks up the car and they add a surcharge fee if you pay by credit card.

In todays world where the norm for many businesses seems to be " hurry up and wait " approach to customer service there is one exception, Northside Ford, especially the service department. This department i to be " hurry up and wait " approach to customer service there is one exception, Northside Ford, especially the service department. This department is consistently ' right on ' when it comes to professionalism, skills knowledge and commitment to Total Customer Care. One individual in particular in the service advisory department, Mr. Gary Conn who by the way is always my ' go to advisor ' whenever the need to have to take my vehicle in. His professionalism, technical knowledge is indisputable and together with the patience, empathy and desire to do everything possible to resolve the issue/problem always comes thru. He will go above and beyond to take care of a situation and if it requires reaching out to resources which he does not have to in order to facilitate/expedite a solution, he does so as part of taking care of the customer when I'm aware he's not obligated to do. Kudos to him and the dealership for having him on their team. More

I drop off my vehicle knowing it is in good hands and come get it when it is ready. The service technicians keep their focus to complete their work and get to the next customer promptly. They are curteous and respectful of your needs. The sales team are always helpful and able to answer our questions and give us details on the vehicles for sale on the lot. The facility is always in nice condition and if you make it out during holidays, you may get a free snack or lunch. When we go to the dealer, NorthSide Ford is an automatic decision. More
