I have been a Ford Owner now for 40years. 30 of those years have been with Gaudin Ford. I currently own 5 Ford’s in my Fleet, can’t get the kids off the payroll 🙄. I Love my Ford’s but it’s the PEOPLE i years have been with Gaudin Ford. I currently own 5 Ford’s in my Fleet, can’t get the kids off the payroll 🙄. I Love my Ford’s but it’s the PEOPLE in the Service Department that keep me from buying anything else. I can get a good price on a car/truck anywhere. Finding Honest, Trustworthy people that treat you like family is impossible to find. I value Lisa Contreras and her team so much that we bring my daughters Dodge Challenger here for service (has to be one in every family 🙄😂) I know that the work will Always be done right and if there are any issues they all work diligently to resolve it. I haven’t taken any of my cars anyplace else for 30 years and will continue my relationship with Gaudin Service as long as they keep these Great People on their Team. There are many options available for car sales and service. I work extremely hard for what little money I have and I only give it to People who earned my trust and respect. Great Job Gaudin Service Department, keep up the Fantastic Service I have received for 30 years 🙏 More

Worst Service Shop Ever I would not recommend the service shop at Gaudin Ford to my worst enemy. The dreadful / possibly corrupt customer service starts at the top with the I would not recommend the service shop at Gaudin Ford to my worst enemy. The dreadful / possibly corrupt customer service starts at the top with the service manager, Lisa Contreras. After one quick conversation with her (after waiting two hours), I understood completely how she has fostered a culture of money first; customer last. When promised nothing would be done to my car for several days, I called for a tow to get reasonable timeliness of service elsewhere. Unbeknownst to me, this disaster of a service shop then allegedly conducted a "diagnosis" without moving my car and refused to let me take my car, holding it hostage with an insane diagnosis fee. Worse yet, the estimate for my car repair was three times the cost that other shops provided and I was told it would take at least a month to complete a 4-8 hour job. When given an opportunity to resolve this obvious mess, Lisa not only lacked empathy for my situation, but she was threatening and demeaning in her approach, clearly treating me as less than a customer and making every effort to swindle and then quickly get rid of me. As for the staff below her: one only has to consider that if she made it to the top of the office pyramid, those left in her wake must have been even more atrocious. In my experience with them, this was absolutely the case, too. I would much rather walk for transportation before I would ever consider the Gaudin Ford service shop. I would probably have to walk anyway if this cesspool actually worked on my vehicle. More

Poor Repair service and overpriced "Diagnosis" cost Brought my 2006 Mustang here to have the airconditioning fault repaired. They kept insisting that I replace the whole Airconditioner for $1,700 becau Brought my 2006 Mustang here to have the airconditioning fault repaired. They kept insisting that I replace the whole Airconditioner for $1,700 because they think the AC clutch is not running. But there's nothing wrong with the aircon, as I've tested it externally using a battery pack and the whole air conditioner unit, and the AC clutch ran well and there was airconditioning. The actual fault on my vehicle was a corroded GEM module and corroded connectors of the GEM module, which causes the malfunction of the air conditioner dial/switch. Why would a Ford Service not figure this out? Why would they suggest to replace a whole air-conditioning unit when it was working perfectly fine? Worse, because I can't afford any of the services, I opted not to do it but I had to pay "diagnosis" (Diagnosis: a.k.a. telling me things I already know about my vehicle). The diagnostic cost was $355.00. Some years ago I went to a run-of-the-mill Auto repair shop to have a fume leakage repaired so I can pass a Smog Test, they "repaired" it (a.k.a., "had actual service done") and I only had to pay $160.00.

Lisa C Lisa, it may be apparent as to why exactly you have "1 star" as all your ratings. I could sit here and explain in detail a situation that you know was Lisa, it may be apparent as to why exactly you have "1 star" as all your ratings. I could sit here and explain in detail a situation that you know was beyond wrong on yours and a few others parts, but you already know. For further occasions when you meet someone smile and shake their hand back and uncross your arms while losing that nasty look on your face. I could understand if a customer was screaming and throwing a fit for some kind of refund, but our situation was not at all like that. I was giving you a common sense issue and explained that we 100% proved your service department messed up a vehicle, and you didn't want to hear it nor did you care. I was beyond polite and you had better things to do apparently. Your customer service along with people handling skills are at an elementary level and I'm curious as to how you still have a job. One could only wonder... More

If you want the worst service this is the place! Good evening, I am hoping to shed some light on this business since it’s privately owned, I made an appointment on Wednesday to have my car servi Good evening, I am hoping to shed some light on this business since it’s privately owned, I made an appointment on Wednesday to have my car serviced since this is our car manufacturer. Upon the phone conversation I had with (Myra) she informed about the hours of the shuttle services which per her where 7:30, and 7:45 am . I went ahead and told her the earliest appointment they had so I could have my car finished by noon. Well once I get the the dealership the service advisor looks at my vehicle checks it for leaks or damages she then made sign a paper just that just stated body damage nothing else no leaks whatsoever. I then asked the service advisor for the shuttle that’s gonna take me home at 7:30, or 7:45 am she said oh no we “ never do thosé Times” so I had to wait for 8 am to come around upon that I was misinformed about the whole shuttle hours and pick ups! I get a call later from the advisor that my car had an oil leak great!! I asked her why?! She could not give me a straight answer at all when I questioned her about it and i told her it was never leaking when it got there. I told her not to do anything just do what it was needed to be done today Thursday. She calls me back around noon and informs me that the car was done and ready for pick up I informed I was ready to be picked up she said what? We don’t pick you up what do you mean I then told her what I was told so long story short I had to speak to the “ service manager Jazmin” she was extremely rude upon my feedback as far letting her know about the issues that I’ve had here since this was my first visit and it will be my last! She said “OKAY” not only does this “so called manager” is extremely rude does not know how to defuse an upset customer complaint since I wasn’t properly informed about their services they’re not at fault. Here I am almost being 3:30pm I was told yes and no about getting picked up this was since noon this business did not meet customer expectations or maybe they just didn’t feel like correcting their mistake at all or even tried since it’s independently owned and mangled. I was never told we do not pick up after you leave your vehicle here... ummm hello common sense put a sign up and inform people! If I would had known that the shuttle would not pick me up I would had stayed and waited there instead of being stranded. I had to call the dealership next door to them about the issue i was having to get picked up and guess what? They took care of their customer I suggest anyone that wants professionalism no headaches and good service go to Findlay Chevrolet on the 215 and rainbow, without having my car there they took care of me without asking twice I suggest this dealership takes notes and please train your employees properly! I will never come back to this place ever since my business isn’t valued here! PS: I asked to speak to the GM and I was refused that courtesy so I asked for the corp number and she said they won’t do anything it but here surely enough Ford corporate told me they couldn’t do anything since it was privately owned I guess that’s why they can do whatever they want. They left key in the ignition and it drained my battery!!! All the service managers where extremely rude laughing at me complaining not acceptable, they left my car dirty from the inside and the outside my windshield where a mess one of my headlights where damaged so I had to go to auntozone to buy a replacemt what a joke plus they never even check the tire pressure like they said they would. I wasn’t just the only one who was complaining nor upset another customer was there complaining to the manager and he just shrug his shoulders and laughed I have never experienced this type of service by far the worst let’s save our headaches and just go to a different dealership but I will be seeking legal action against this dealership since I was hanged up the phone multiple times cursed at stating “you’re never going to speak to the GM or the owner” well I’ll leave that up to my attorney with a demand latter sent out within the next days!!!

The worst service department Knowing how service departments can take forever we called to schedule an appointment for a simple dead battery and leave the vehicle until it was rea Knowing how service departments can take forever we called to schedule an appointment for a simple dead battery and leave the vehicle until it was ready for pick up. The service person that answered the phone directed us to simply bring it to the "quick lane" and we would be in and out. Following the misguided direction upon arrival we were told it would be a THREE hour wait!!! I asked for a service manager to call me regarding and they were too busy to phone me. Not the first time we've had issues with this dealership as another time we were told two days for repair and we picked up the vehicle two weeks later. I highly recommend using another dealership for all repairs!!! More

I was assured that the issue was going to be resolved once I got the vehicle back. Not only the issue was not resolved, but upon inspection of the vehicle the service department didn't even try to fix the issue. Sergio Correa and Frank Mooradian were the only people willing to resolve my issue. I concluded this opinion based upon the report that they had tested the component and “fixed” the issue that I was having. If they had done that then obviously they would have experienced the issue and known that it was in fact defective. I had brought it back to them twice with them assuring me twice that the issue would be resolved. I had to contact Ford directly for them to actually do the work they were supposed to do in the first place. If they had done their job they would have realized what the cause of the issue was, instead of just saying they fixed it when in reality they did not even look at it. I cannot comprehend what would bring on such disrespect and such dishonesty. Even if they ignore the fact that I’ve bought 3 Ford vehicles, I still bought a new 2016 Escape SE and they should have treated me with more respect that what they gave me. They had the audacity to lie to my face and tell me they resolved the issue when clearly they didn't even know what the issue was. The Sync 3 is not compatible with my apple products. The car has 2 USB ports, and thus I plan to utilize both ports. When I plug in my iPod to charge and my iPhone to listen to music the sync system decides to not work. This is absolutely unacceptable. Technology in this day and age is expected to be backwards compatible with any major consumer product. I find that because this issue the sync system is not at its greatest potential and because of this I have to reevaluate if Ford is really on the cutting edge. Ford likes to talk about their innovation and how they incorporate new technology in their vehicles, when in reality the technology is flawed. What baffles me the most is how Ford will install two USB ports and expect them not to be utilized to their fullest capacity. More
