Sunshine Ford, Southport, Gold Coast = 2.5

Have never dealt with them, but from what I've heard about them would probably give them a similar score.

Thomson Ford Paramatta, a genuine bloke who tells it the way it is.
A Polites. 10/10. the dope who gave him a 1 must be loopy.
Have never seen him do the wrong thing. Makes me wonder what the bloke did who rated him a 1.
Any chance of a Story?

Read these often but never really post.
Have to ask Rapid Xr8 what Thomsons did to him?
Or is he just wingeing in anonimity because he did not get his way on a warranty claim?

i am very supprised at some of the low scores. and we all own Fords, how many ford owners did the Dealer Principles turn over th the DARK SIDE?? I think Dealers should see this thread and wake up. I work on the assumption that all a customer wants is good service and their car fixted. nothing else i believe the customer comes to me because he likes to deal with me, therefore i appriceate them coming so i can help them. Wake up Ford Dealers and fix this bad service problem. or you will be no 6 in sales!!!

Talking

Metro Ford Brisbane
Used Cars 8 almost too helpful but I did end up buying my Typhoon off him.
New Cars 8 even though I said I couln't foot the bill for a BF XR8 he was still happy to talk to me and asked how the Typhoon was

BBF MtGravatt 9 Took the Typhoon to them for waranty work and were only curteous and prompt in fixing the problem ( busted potentiometer in the accel peddal ) and even when this fixed it called me back to fit a new throtle position sensor they ordered. On top of that when she goes in for service they are going to do paint waranty on the Brake Caliper and rear spoiler. Great service

Seconded but only the service department. When it came to buying the car they where very nice and was very easy to get dealer delivery and on road costs down to nothing. They even let me take her home before the release date.

But once it came to the service department they truly do suck. I booked in at 11 and everything was fine but once I turned up at 11 they refused the take the car and said they were about the close claiming i was sceduled in at 9 so after much yelling it was reorganised to 9 the next week. I get a call the day before the service to double check the time but they claim im down for 8. After getting the car back it was easy to see they loved playing around with the sound system and pushing the speakers well past their normal limits and the oil they used was wrong.

8/10 for the sales staff
-10/10 for the service staff

I know there is Titan Ford in Sydney and a Titan Ford in Perth. I thought that Ford would not let two dealerships have the same name. Odd that.

I have never delt with Costanzo, but if they are as good as 10/10 then they will have a go. I'm very hard to please.
