Not to be trusted. Pencil whipped my inspection. Greenlighted my rotors, brakes, fluids and filters later that day to a few days later. Brakes metal to metal. Rotors an Pencil whipped my inspection. Greenlighted my rotors, brakes, fluids and filters later that day to a few days later. Brakes metal to metal. Rotors and brakes shot. Filters dirty and near black. Low washer fluid light. Went back and forth between xxxx poor manager over Quick Lane, customer relations, and the management over at Elder Ford of Tampa for a few days. Went through multiple independent inspections and sent information over to Ford Customer Relations who informed me everything was being sent over to management. Management contacted me days later (9/19 inaccurate inspection, 9/30 management reached out indirectly offering free services to regain my trust which later was actually in exchange for 5 star rating) Technican did all that was promised under management watch however one tire was returned in rust I don’t know how possible unless rusted rotors were shaven down while tire on vehicle??? Idk but 1/4 are rusted and it wasn’t sent in that way. But hey I’m learning these guys do what they can so don’t expect any going above and beyond from techs they get paid by the hour and it shows. Management over Elder Ford of Tampa is left to deal with cleanup and basically will compensate for bad reviews BUT YOU MUST LEAVE A GOOD REVIEW Management at Quick Lane is uninformed xxxx poor bad communication skills no direction in handling customer complaints and COMPLETE LIARS Management at Elder Ford is decent they’re more honest and actually performs the work. But they’re rug sweepers you have an issue they’ll do all they can to buys bad reviews back in exchange for 5 stars. while I think anyone will appreciate free services I’m an honest man and free services in exchange for coached 5 star review would go against my morals and my duty to my community. They won’t take you back as a customer if you leave a bad review 😂 Once I submitted my updated review service manager over Elder Ford of Tampa contacted me upset that I left it at a 1 when initially it was a zero. So I did step it up but because they couldn’t get a 5 star rating he left me a voicemail stating they no longer want me as a customer and they don’t buy reviews but because I’m unhappy they don’t want me back as a customer. He also stated how they over compensated me for their partner shops lack of integrity and shops don’t do that although he offered it to me, I asked for refund and got it was satisfied. Management, the Service Manager, over compensated to attempt to pull the review but my integrity doesn’t have a price. Originally the over compensation was for regaining my trust as a customer. So now they didn’t get a 5 star review I’m not wanted back as a customer although I didn’t want to go back 😂 So I think we’ve proven the Service Manager is the sweeper and the Manager over Quick Lane is just a poor excuse for lack of integrity. Please go to any Ford but here. You don’t know what you’ll get. And now you all know bad reviews are bought I wouldn’t trust the 5 star reviews whatsoever. i wouldn’t trust “free services” their in exchange for coached 5 star reviews.
