Unable to follow directions I have used this dealership many times and always had the same poor experience. They don’t listen to the customer. Usually it’s not giving me a call w I have used this dealership many times and always had the same poor experience. They don’t listen to the customer. Usually it’s not giving me a call when I ask them to but this time was worse. We all know dealerships use air tool to do most of their work. Them doing so damaged my lug nuts so much that I was unable to put the 19mm socket onto the nut. I had to replace the full set of lug nuts. So during this visit I specifically asked them not to use the air gun on the lug nuts. When my car came out I can clearly see that they did. I already have marks where you can see they are starting to be stripped. You may ask why I keep going back and the answer is simply because it’s free service that came with the car. But as we all know, nothing is free. Very dissatisfied with this service department. More

Ford Focus Remains an Excellent Car Everyone at Columbia Ford was extremely helpful, personable and friendly, and dedicated to helping customers find the best car for their wallet as wel Everyone at Columbia Ford was extremely helpful, personable and friendly, and dedicated to helping customers find the best car for their wallet as well as for their lifestyle and personal wishes. I felt that I was listened to, treated unbelievably well, and that I ended up with the best possible car for my situation because of the wonderful advice, information, and assistance I received. I have been enjoying my experience with Columbia Ford for more than 20 years, service to sales to service and now back to sales. If Columbia Ford does not carry a certain variety of car, then I would never be interested in it. NEA More
