John_K Donating Members 438 Member For: 16y 5m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 15/01/09 08:17 AM Share Posted 15/01/09 08:17 AM So I've been reading about dodgy Ford dealerships not servicing cars correctly, not following procedures, lying, voiding not Warranty claims etc.My question is, could we see a list of reputable, recommended and liked Ford dealers for servicing?Not only that, other garages or mechanics that are great at what they do and don't bulls**t to you.It would be great for everyone to see a list of recommended garages - Would be great to see ones that are lenient on warranty claims too.Instead of seeing the negatives, lets see some positives.Basic layout something like this:Garage / Dealer name:Address:Why they're so good:Who's first to fire away?Ideally, this thread should be leaning more towards letting the good/reputable workshops be known so that others don't have to have bad experiences. Everyone loves a great experience so why not share it with others?It's said that if someone experiences bad customer service, they will tell 10 people.However, if they receive great customer service, they'll only tell 2.So why not let that 2nd person be me jokes! It'd be good to help your fellow forum members know who you recommend.NOTE:Guys, if you're going to advertise yourselves/family/friends, contact forum admin/mods to organise your site sponsorship.

Garage / Dealer name: Alan Mance Holden.Address: Bacchus Marsh.Why they're so good: Had a strange knock in the front end turned out to be a smashed bearing race in the shock tower after the knobs that lowered my car just jammed it back in without telling me, had it in for service yesterday and the lads replaced it under warranty even though it shouldnt have been covered seeing it was lowered.
