My name is Travis Howton and I grew up in Gilcrest, Colorado. I am a service advisor at Spradley Barr. I have been with our Service Department almost 13 years now and like getting to know all of our customers. When I’m not at work I play a lot of videos games and currently own over 3,600 but am always looking to get more. I also like to collect Michael Jackson memorabilia. My favorite ford vehicle model is the Gt-40 because it’s fast and built for racing. I look forward to seeing you in here, be sure to stop by and say hi.

*** SCAM ALLERT*** Jan 2024 Took my F350 for no start issue and after 2.5 weeks of back and forward of multiple misdiagnosis, several new parts and $2,200+ bill they wanted a $3000+ addon to bill for a p issue and after 2.5 weeks of back and forward of multiple misdiagnosis, several new parts and $2,200+ bill they wanted a $3000+ addon to bill for a power harness replacement that's when I had enough and took the truck to a local shop call Alexader's Automotive in Loveland, I didn't even make it home because within 30 minutes I got a call that they had the truck done and ready to go and the issue was a blown fuse and another missing fuse that ford did not re installed and I know because I took a picture of fuse box before dropping off to Ford and after all that diagnostic knowledge from Alexanders Automotive I took issue to for manager and asked for a refund and for them to take all parts back off truck but they refused to help or come to a resolution all they can say was "how do I know that parts that what was replaced did not help with fixing issue" and I replied " xxxx NO " even if you replaced the whole engine the truck won't start with blown fuses dumb xxx. To this date I still have not heard back from Ford, BBB or state about SCAM resolution. More

I had a truly disappointing experience at Ken Garff Ford Greeley that I feel compelled to share. After taking my vehicle in for repairs, I paid a significant amount, only to find that the work was not compl Greeley that I feel compelled to share. After taking my vehicle in for repairs, I paid a significant amount, only to find that the work was not completed satisfactorily. This left me feeling frustrated and misled. To make matters worse, I was approached by the service manager, Matt, who suggested that I alter my customer satisfaction survey results. This is not only unprofessional but also indicative of a larger issue with their commitment to genuine customer service. I attempted to reach the General Manager multiple times, but my calls went unanswered, which only added to my frustration. The lack of communication between the sales and service departments is appalling. I felt like a mere number rather than a valued customer, especially after my purchase was finalized. Ray, who assisted me, displayed poor customer service and seemed disinterested in addressing my concerns. Overall, my experience at Ken Garff Ford Greeley has left me feeling disregarded and undervalued. I cannot recommend this dealership to anyone looking for quality service and support. Save yourself the hassle and shop elsewhere. More

Ken Garff Ford of Greeley asked for my opinion of their terrible service and this was my response. ***** Buyer or Service Customer Beware ***** I brought in a vehicle for repair to you because I thought terrible service and this was my response. ***** Buyer or Service Customer Beware ***** I brought in a vehicle for repair to you because I thought it still had a warranty. The vehicle was slightly low on power, with occasional smoke but was running smooth as silk. I asked the service consultant to verify that and get back to me. He never did. I trusted that you would diagnose the problem properly and accurately. That wasn't done. They told me that they knew what the problem was and that it was a simple part they had to order. I asked my service consultant if he verified the warranty and he said he would get back to me. He never did even after I called and left a message in regards to this. You began repairs regardless. After those repairs two things happened, it didn't fix the problem and I found out from my service consultant that the vehicle wasn't in warranty. When he told me it was going to cost another 5k to fix the problem, I told my service consultant that I would take it to another repair shop and to get it ready for me. When I arrived to pickup the unrepaired vehicle, I paid for parts that didn't have a thing to do with what was wrong. When I got 100 yards down the road, not being able to turn around because of traffic the vehicle started smoking as if it was on fire and it was obvious it was buring oil like it was being poured into the cylinders and it began to run incredibly rough and the vehicle was a hazard and dangerous to drive. I got three miles down the road looking for a spot to turn around and bring it back then it was smoking so bad and running so rough it finally quit. I called my service consultant and he wanted me to pay to have it towed back to you and I asked to talk to the service manager which was on another call. The service manager called be back about 30 minutes later and had no interest in trying to make the situation better or did not offer in any way to help me, but only to say he was sorry. I had to have the disabled vehicle towed to another company for repairs. Your service consultant didn't call me back when I needed an update, your service manager wasn't at all concerned about my situation and was covering for his departments poor service and attention to my problem. I will make sure everyone knows about how Ken Garff Ford of Greeley, CO treats their service customers by posting this review in every platform I have available to me and will request anyone that has had bad interactions with your service department to share this nightmare. I have been in business for myself for almost 42 years and have never treated my customers with such disrespect and lack of concern. No business that does will stay in business as long as my company has because customers like me will make sure that the general public knows of your terrible service and more importantly your lack of concern to make sure you exceed the customers expectations. Too bad for Greeley and Northern Colorado. Just another xxxxxxx company more interested in money than making their customers happy. You have made a mistake in your choice to provide such terrible service to me. I have seen other customers or other potential customers reviews posted since my terrible experience with Ken Garff Ford of Greeley and it's obvious that I am not the only disappointed customer you have made lately. This type of service to the general public is a sign of desperation in trying to stay afloat. Seems to me if times were tough you would do everything to save the business afloat and not sink the Titanic. I can assure you one thing, I will be at the garage sale when you have it. Buyer or service customer beware! Ken Garff Ford of Greely is one to watch our for. More

I took my F-150 to their service dept. for warranty work on my master cylinder and an oil change. They stated my oil pan gasket needed to be rebuilt and they said they switched out my mast for warranty work on my master cylinder and an oil change. They stated my oil pan gasket needed to be rebuilt and they said they switched out my master cylinder. I took my truck into Valvoline and they noticed my oil pan plug was stripped out and that’s why I had a huge leak. Also I’ve been having problems with my breaks ever since they worked on my master cylinder. My mom took her Escape to the same service dept. for an oil change and they tried to charge her over $800 for one missing screw on her master cylinder. This place is a scam and they have no idea what they are doing. I highly recommend staying away from this dealership. More

Do not buy the service agreement with this place. It may sound great to have your services pre-paid but the service department, frankly, sucks. I have limited space but will share the last two services. T sound great to have your services pre-paid but the service department, frankly, sucks. I have limited space but will share the last two services. The first being two and half hours for a simple oil change and tire rotation. The last was Thursday March 18, 2021 and I was there for four hours! At three hours I asked what the issue was and they said they thought I had simply dropped my truck off. I had an appointment t and was the only man with a dog. Let us just assume I had dropped my truck off, how is it possible that it takes 4 hours to change the oil? I did not simply drop my truck off but was waiting in the waiting area. The man I spoke with walked past me numerous times with no word as I watched customer after customer get serviced. The 3 hour mark came and I finally asked what was the issue. No word have been given to me for the three hours. I learned my truck had not even been started. I spent four hours waiting for my service. The service manager wasn't present so I got simply, I am sorry. I purchased the service agreement because I wanted the ease of having my truck, witch I purchased from them, serviced without issue. So I am stuck with the expense and time. The service department of this place sucks. Please do not use them nor should you purchase the expensive extended service. After asking for a phone call from a manager, I have still not heard from anyone. It has been more than 24 hours. No one has reached out to me. More

We bought our 2018 Ford Explorer from this dealership. Everything went good with the sale but we brought our vehicle back a day later due to tire issues. We were told there was a recall on the tires and w Everything went good with the sale but we brought our vehicle back a day later due to tire issues. We were told there was a recall on the tires and we would have to wear them down to get them replaced. So for over a year we were lied to about the tires which were clearly not new tires even though our vehicle was fairly new. We just recently found out there was no recall and our tires were still under the manufacturer warranty which this dealership chose to ignore till the warranty was almost up. Then to fix their mistakes they tried to offer us new tires for a $600 charge which they state was a discount. When I look up the brand of tires I find out the tires can be replaced at Big O cheaper than what they are trying to charge me. The maintainance on our vehicle has been a night mate everytime they service our vehicle they leave things off or loose. We gave them numerous chances to fix issues and to make things right but they have not. If you want honest service and warranty work/replacement you wont get it here. More
