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

Wiper blade issue on a week old truck. They took the truck in right away and it only took about 15 minutes to repair. Everyone was very friendly and asked if there was anything I needed.

WRONG DIAGNOSIS I brought my 2013 Kia Sorento in March for a clunking sound in the left front wheel well. It was diagnosed with a left rear strut needed ~ $600 for I brought my 2013 Kia Sorento in March for a clunking sound in the left front wheel well. It was diagnosed with a left rear strut needed ~ $600 for 1 strut!!! I had the work done elsewhere and was told the strut was really not bad/ did not need replacing after I spent $125 on the "diagnosis" and $300 for parts and labor to replace BOTH struts. The clunking sound still continued and I should have called them that there was still a problem. Late May the noise became a grinding sound! I brought the car back in on a Friday and had to wait until Monday to find out and was told it was the left front shock assembly. $600 for 1 shock assembly although they waived the diagnostic fee! They did change my oil for $40 (should have been free after all my time and money wasted) Had the work done elsewhere...$540 for both shocks! I have used this service center and have always been satisfied with them HOWEVER they totally missed the problem in March! More
