Haven't had any problems there yet. I will only let Brigitte handle my shit there though. She always puts her best tech on my truck and gives special care. I normally get a break on service as well just for having beer in hand for the crew. A little love goes along way. Sorry man but at least you know who to speak with next time. Be sure to answer the call when the call you for the survey and let them know.

Yeah I would be pissed too. I get up at 4am every morning and wrenching on my truck is not part of that process getting to work.

I had them forgot the dipstick, and had it rain for that week.

Also have a lightning with 900miles get tracked full of mud and oil on the carpet.

Also had a windshield replaced, and now leaks.

Never again.

Got to a point where I thought of actually sabotaging the dealership.

Napa Ford scratched all of my factor lugs on the first oil change. Manager was smug and took his time to check out the damage. Three useless trips and run around conversations later I finally got a new set of un scratched lugs. They wanted to schedule another trip for install. I took my lugs and told them I wouldn't trust their techs to ruin something else on my truck.

Here is a good lesson for all. Unless you really have an in at a dealership. NEVER TAKE YOUR TRUCK TO ONE!!! Unless it is a warranty issue. 95% of all dealerships have no clue about our trucks, including the majority of the techs!! You just do not take this specialty truck to a place where they spend the majority of the day working on focuses, escapes, fiestas. They are just not knowledgeable enough to work on our trucks.

When I first got mine I went to 4 dealerships asking about mid-perch and the service managers all looked at me like I had 3 heads. They just do not get it.
