dutchie Member 391 Member For: 21y 2m Location: Somewhere Posted 21/07/04 11:23 AM Share Posted 21/07/04 11:23 AM Over the past few weeks, especially since the Vic cruise on the weekend, I have heard several negative comments about particular Ford Dealerships and the lack of servicing claims they do not perform.......Has anyone had this where a dealer claimed to have done something but infact nothing was done.........ie change spark plugs etc.......Also, has anyone dealt with Jeff Wignall Ford in Frankston and how good is the servicing of the T's.........?Several people mentioned that their experience was not a pleasant one with this mob..Would like your input and recommendations please.......dutchie Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11935-servicing-the-t-in-victoria/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 21/07/04 11:52 AM Share Posted 21/07/04 11:52 AM I have used NewOak Ford in Oakleigh, my service manager is Chad. I couldn't reccommend them more highly. Every thing is nto a problem and when any little thing comes up he says bring it down and they look in to it on the spot.Geea.

Mondie Firm Member Donating Members 2,924 Member For: 22y 7m 7d Location: Adelaide Hills Posted 21/07/04 01:26 PM Share Posted 21/07/04 01:26 PM l would say the dealer who has the best 'overall', untarnished reputation from the forums would be Strapp Ford. l have used them once and was very impressed.l have bought my last 3 cars from New Oak but couldnt recommend them based on my experiences. They have pissed in my pocket several times on my diff issue and lied to me on agreeing to repair it then renegging. As a long term customer who has put over $160k there way in recent years l would expect better.l will be using Strapp in the future, they are very proffesional with the best car service facility in Burwood l have EVER seen Talk to Jarred, the guy is a complete proffesional.

Always have fixed my problems and even Ford CRC reconise their ability to look after and service the TScoot Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11935-servicing-the-t-in-victoria/#findComment-145764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Member 47 Member For: 22y 1m 11d Posted 22/07/04 04:38 AM Share Posted 22/07/04 04:38 AM I use Knox Ford also, and can highly recommend them. Cameron and Mark are great to deal with in servicing, and pretty much everything I've had problems with (and they weren't caused by Knox by the way) have been fixed first time everytime.

Miss_Aly Donating Members 615 Member For: 21y 26d Gender: Female Posted 24/07/04 07:39 AM Share Posted 24/07/04 07:39 AM I have also had my previous car serviced at Knox Ford and can recommend them. When I had the AU II XR8 I had it serviced at Vermont Ford and I also recommend them.I have just booked my T into Freeway Ford, Cranbourne. She goes in for a service on the 6 August for the 15000. Will see how it goes. I think my T must have a cold at the moment. Leaking power steering oil, and coughing when I accelarate, chug chug chug.
