If you do decide to go there I would suggest that you book you car in with a bloke by the name of Bob Ford. I might also suggest that you go there in person wearing the correct atire (if you know what I mean. Wink wink)You must mean the discount suit!!

Last week I took my ride in to get windscreen and headlights fixed and I also told them to check the 3-5 second delay when getting into reverse, they said to me that they checked it and that they thought it was normal (no surprise there!)but then .. the next day , they rang me back and up and said that they had spoken to their 'guys' in Melb? about the transmission and they said that they wanted to test it again and if I could bring it in for another day.. so I did yesterday.. when I went to pick my car up again yesterday arvo they said.. (and this is the surprise...)" we tested it again and we couldnt really get it to play up but we have talked it over and we are getting you a new transmission under warranty!!" so they ordered one in and I am waiting for it come in and when it does they will it swap it over for me..... :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the go with the bad experience? I've got my car booked in there for it's 15,000km service in a couple of weeks. Should I be worried? I went into City Ford once, but the service guy gave me the absolute shiiiiiits just through conversation. Arogant *beep* he was.←It's nothing to be too worried about, it just make sure that they have actually done the work they claim to have done (ask for proof if possible) and insist that they call you before they do any additional work which they want to charge you for, explain that if you don't get a phone call before hand that you won't pay for the additional work when you come to pick the car up.←Thanks for that!

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 3d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 30/05/06 06:22 AM Share Posted 30/05/06 06:22 AM Dat,It is hard to read your post, you should try to format it and check the grammar and spelling.I have worked out that if you want your way with Warranty, you need to stay calm and use logic to confuse them. I find that any item they say is denied, ask them to justify their claim and then shoot holes in it. It is pointless getting angry as all it does is make it personal, when it is not, its business and they are not the ones paying for it, Ford or you are. It is important to have your dealer go into bat for you against Ford as they are the only help you will have.If you feel you are not being treated correctly as a car owner, then find another dealer, do not get angry, I know it is hard not to launch across the counter and king hit them, but this will not get the desired result.Be calm and intelligent and shoot holes in their arguments. Also only speak to someone in charge as drones can be frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
