Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we are disappointed that your experience did not meet your expectations, we do want to clarify several points in your review to ensure the situation is accurately represented. At no point did anyone on our team state that they did not hear the noise you were concerned about. Our technician and service management acknowledged the concern and followed the proper Ford warranty diagnostic process. As with all Ford warranty repairs, we are required to clearly explain the “what-if” scenarios to our customers before proceeding. In this case, Ford Motor Company requires that if an engine is torn down for inspection and NO warrantable failure is found, the manufacturer does not cover the cost of the teardown or reassembly. This policy is set by Ford, not the dealership. We explained that if a warrantable failure were found, Ford would absolutely cover the repair, including teardown and reassembly. This disclosure is standard procedure and is communicated to protect customers from unexpected expenses. We understand your frustration and respect your decision to seek a second opinion. We are glad to hear that your concern was ultimately resolved, and we sincerely wish the outcome had been different during your time with us. That said, we strongly disagree with the characterization that our employees were dishonest or disrespectful. Our team acted professionally and in accordance with Ford Motor Company’s warranty guidelines throughout the process. We appreciate you being a past customer and regret that this situation led to such dissatisfaction. Sincerely, Charles Gabus Ford Management

I stand firmly with what I wrote. Your people were dishonest about everything from start to finish. It took another dealership to respond in manner that was honest. Your people should have known from all the years doing this what the problem was. Dewey Ford mech knew exactly what the problem was & handled it like a Ford mech should. The GM also stated that I used the wrong oil as I got the approval from a Ford engineer to be able to use the oil. Disagree all you want, I would not trust these employees at all. John Richardson
