Avoid this service department - (also posted this on PNW FB page)

I have had service done at Bill Pierre Ford in Lake City several months ago and it did not go all that well - they left my Bronco short on oil (left it 1.5 quarts low) which I found when I got home, said they could not rotate 5 tires - they only could do a 4 tire rotation (seemed odd at the time), and would not address the seatbelt recall because they had no documentation how to actually do it (its plastic clips a chimpanzee can do this). With that - I left them a 3 star review as feedback and moved on with life. Fast forward to this weekend - and I found my front diff leaking and made an appointment with this same service dept to have it covered (should be a simple warranty repair to swap out the seals) - This AM I get this text message from the Service Manager - telling me - they will not work on my Bronco - apparently because I left them less than wonderful feedback for their previous work.
Sent this to Ford Corporate, they already have a case open for me - but wow - what a pathetic response.

Disappointing on so many levels. Wish ford would take better ownership of the aftersales experience and hold dealers better accountable for how they represent the brand. Update your review to fewer stars and post their cancelation in the review.

That’s very disappointing. They left off the oil cap on my 10k change, discovered when I took it to another dealer a week later, they comped the next change. I paid the other dealer for the replacement cap $13, net it worked out in my case. I got a non-answer on my recalls as they had no idea on parts availability.

wow! thanks for letting us in that area know. That dealership is just down the road from me but I took my Bronco 30 miles away (to Bickford Ford in Snohomish) for my first oil change because they had the best price in the area ($89) and rotated all 5 of my wheels and did the work with basically no wait.

@misterspivey I'm with you. It's a drive but I try to use Bickford of Ford of Kirkland. It was alot easier when Bickford had service hours on Saturdays.

@OrangecrushBronco Getting lots of feedback - that Bickford is really good both here and others - will have to give them a shot next time - I grew up that way - a good excuse to head back up there for sure.

Yep, they're the WORST. Bunch of idiots. I've used another one of their dealerships and they can't even do oil changes correctly. Leaving magnetic lights in the engine bay, spilling oil, not tightening the oil filter so that oil is leaking. For years I wouldn't use them but figured maybe new crew could get things better but nope. Same thing when I used to take in the Shelby spilled oil all over the engine bay and front fascia, evidence of joy riding with tire dust on the back and it always ran hotter for a couple days after picking it up. They also don't know anything about Bronco TSB's and can't find them when I tell them. They don't even know how to do the window adjustments when they're loose and rattling.

Why would you go back?

@Silver-Bolt I was super reluctant - but figured everyone gets a second chance - I now realize the errors of my ways :) - Bronco is at a different dealership and wow, what a completely different experience.

@Tippster I was going to recommend making a post on the PNW Facebook forum to inform other local members about your experience @ Bill Pierre Ford and saw that you already had. Thanks for informing the community. It's useless to leave reviews on the dealers' websites because they delete the reviews they don't like. What I do is leave reviews on the forums and then send a copy to the dealer to let them know what kind of reviews I've been posting.
