Scheduled me to wait...45 minutes before mechanics
The scheduler could have significantly helped connect the dots here. I was having a simple download of info taken. It took all of 5 minutes. They scheduled me however at 7:15 AM. Upon arrival, I was informed the mechanics don’t start until 8am. So I waited around unexpectedly and avoidably.

Maintenance/Repair
Didn't fix trunk latch as stated. Said trunk wasn't seated properly in vehicle
and couldn'tt fix at dealership.... recommended body shop to fix...this repair should be covered as it does not pertain to anything owner of vehicle did.
Trunk was probably not seated correctly at factory... .will contact service dept to check on this.. ATTN Adam....

Mark, we're sorry that we weren't able to assist you on your trunk latch. We empathize and understand your frustration at the trunk situation; however, being that the vehicle is well outside of the age and mileage requirements for the Ford factory warranty and the vehicle wasn't sold by us (meaning that we didn't warranty or inspect the vehicle prior to purchase), referring you to a body shop was the best course of action that we could recommend. We don't have body shop facilities onsite so we're unable to fix the situation ourselves. Thank you for your understanding.

Same problems but now my truck is greasy.
The service guys are good, the dealership is fine but you get what you get from Ford. I shouldn't have a brand new truck requiring maintenance because so called Robots might not have put it together properly. On top of that now my truck had a large grease spot on the seat from some careless tech. Next time I'm buying a Toyota.

As Ford as you can get
It’s Ford. They are there for a sale or to make money. What else is their to be expected? They will have all the smiles and answers to get you to buy a new car but ask a question to service and they are clueless.

They did what was required. I lost faith in this business when it belong to Parker. They did two oil changes, one on each of my Escapes, and left the filter loose on both of them.

We received a call from service about our review. After discussing the fact that we hadn’t received a call that our vehicle was ready to be picked up and finding out that the service tech turned in the paperwork after he returned from lunch rather than when he left and that we called about the same time. We were informed that they would see about changes to fix that. He was very understanding.

We had the wrench light come on so took it in for service. Service wasn’t due for another 1500 miles so they reset the computer.

We called to check what they had found out and they said “Oh, you can come and pick up. We reset the code”.

You would have thought that they would have called.

I have an intermittent engine light / see a mechanic warning that they were unable to troubleshoot
on the drive home from the service the engine light came on and remained on for a couple of days. I fear that I am the owner of a lemon

Oil chnage and tire rotation
Had my truck oil changed and tires rotated which went fast and well. what struck me as odd was they gave my 2 day old air filter a yellow, need to be replaced soon, rating.

I've also had severe issues from this dealer with tire balancing. I have taken tires that were just mounted and balance by these guys to another shop and they showed me personally one of the wheels was over 4oz out of weight. the remaining 3 averaged 2.5oz out

Oil leak diagnosis
Brought my truck in for a diagnosis of an oil seep. I waited over 3 hours for a one hour process. I know that the diagnosis was complete over a hour before the diagnosis results were explained to me and my truck was returned. I saw my truck returned to the parking lot over a hour before I was contacted.

On 1/12/22 I took mey F250 in for starter bendix issue and was told I needed flex plate and commplete starter. I was quoted $1500.00 (verbal) max for the repair. When I picked up the truck the invoice was $1995.29 needless to say I was very disappointed that no even called to let me know about the increase.
1 day later the check engine light came on and I was told the engine needed recalibrated because the trans was removed. I took the truck back in and it was recalibrated. One more day passed and the check engine light came back on and it is still on. called service dept and the earliest they could get my truck in is 2/10/2022.

Usually I would be happy but now I’m just annoyed. My turbo has always rattled on driver side and ford won’t replace it. Pretty bad when all your buddies laugh when u start your 60k plus pickup!!
So I took pickup in for rattle noise several times to be told it’s cam phasers or what not. Then they say turbo also is making noise but ford won’t authorize it. Guess the extra warranty is useless for actually repairing a failing part they want it to leave u stranded on the freeway first. I didn’t spend this kind of investment to be sidelined!!

Loyal customer, but no return loyalty from this dealership.
Purchased six new vehicles in last ten years, one new vehicle is on order and in transit, appointment set with sales to order another two new vehicles in coming weeks. Performed all service, without exception, for the last eleven years. Purchased many accessories over the years. All this….hundreds of thousands in sales….and had to wait 7 weeks for a simple service appointment. Rethinking my future buying, place of service, business purchases, and recommendations to friends.

High pressure sales. Make promises they don’t keep.
I have had Fords all my life. Approximately 30 or more purchased new. This is the first time the service department has not had time to fix issues. I waited over a month for an appointment. They kept the truck all day but only fixed minimal things. If this trend continues I will never purchase from this dealership again. If you sell a new truck it is your responsibility to figure out how to service it.

Nice people, but didn't fix the problem!
I took my 2020 F-350 in because the driver door lock works inconsistently. When it gets below freezing it doesn't work at all. I have read many online owner reviews of this problem and it seems to be quite common, and is usually fixed by replacing the actuator. I told them all of this in great detail and left my truck there for an entire day. The dealership did give me a ride to work which I appreciate, however when I returned I was told that because the door lock issue was related to freezing, they could not repair it unless they could check it while frozen and not working. They said I would have to leave the truck overnight in freezing weather so they could check it in the morning, and to be sure and bring it back if it happened again. Guess what, it happened the very next morning when I went out to start it! Very predictable. There are a couple of problems with the recommended remedy. The first is how do you determine that it will get cold enough on a specific night to make sure it is "frozen enough?" In this climate it is anybody's guess. Spring is approaching so I guess maybe next December or January? Secondly, by the time the truck was inside to work on it, it would likely be thawed out enough so it would work fine. I am not willing to experiment with the weather to do this until the problem can be solved. I need the truck, its not a convenient thing to leave it overnight. So, basically I was told in a nice way that they either couldn't or wouldn't fix the problem. It's the temperature's fault, right? I don't know why they just didn't replace the switch or actuator, or whatever it is. It would have been worth a try. I am sure freezing weather and improperly working door locks are not just something you have to live with on an $80,000+ truck. I also purchased extended warranty coverage as well and the truck is still under factory warranty. I have determined I will take it to another dealership to see if they can do better. At this point it seems to be my only choice.

Disappointed
Made an appointment a week in advance to have starter trouble diagnosed in my F250. Took it in as scheduled at 9:30 a.m. I was told they would call me with a diagnosis and estimate. No word all day, so at 3:00 I drove over to check. They were still working on a diagnosis and estimate at 3:15.
Finally at about 3:20 I received an estimate which I considered too high. Got my keys and left.

First time at Mike White Ford
First let me say the physical service was spot on. The service experience left us disappointed. First it took my wife over an hour and 40 minutes to drop off our truck and get a rental car. We were told she would be in and out in 30 minutes. She ended up changing her schedule for the day. We had work done that was to be reimbursed by our insurance company. I had to call the service department and put a stop to all work before they would respond to the insurance company's request for a quote. Lastly my wife works in long term care so we have to take face coverings and social distancing very seriously. We were hoping Ford a progressive company would be doing the same. Unfortunately as your dealership is in Idaho no employees had face coverings and social distancing was at a minimum. If your policy towards Covid19 protections should change we would be happy to give your team a try again. We understand that not ever service appointment goes as smoothly as we would all like. Please stay safe and thank our service tech for us again.

Shawn, thank you for the honest and open review. Your feedback is very important to us. We're so sorry that the service experience was more convoluted and complicated than we want it to be. We have looked into why things took so much longer than normal and have made some internal adjustments accordingly. In so far as our Covid 19 protections, most of what we are doing is unseen. Mike personally purchased high quality masks for all employees and they were disbursed. We strongly encourage but do not require mask wearing. I'm not sure if you noticed the cones in the service drive, but we specifically placed the cones in our drive to limit the amount of cars/their occupants to half of our normal capacity. We have regular and strict cleaning procedures for high contact areas and take particular care when servicing customer vehicles. We have changed the entire layout of our showroom so that chairs are 6 feet apart and removed several tables so as to allow for increased social distancing. We take the Covid19 situation very seriously. As you mentioned that this was your first visit, it's completely understandable that you weren't aware of the changes that we took, because you hadn't seen the store in its normal layout. As one of the employees who regularly wears a mask, I can assure you that there are several of us! We apprecciate and share your concern for both our employees and the company. We invite you to return again when you need our services and we'd love to have the opportunity to improve on your experience with us.

F350 check engine light
I made an appointment because the check engine light was on. On the day of the appointment the truck would not start because of the battery issue. I told the guy at the desk of both issues. The tech must’ve only focused on the check engine and did not check the batteries. When I come to pick up the truck and ask them about the truck not starting they said They could not find an issue. The next morning the truck wouldn’t start and I called and took it in to be looked at again. When the tech check the batteries one of them was bad. The service guy did give me a good price on replacing the battery but I shouldn’t have to come back a second time for something they should’ve checked originally.

My car sat in the parking lot after they finished working on it for approx 40 minutes before they came and got me from the waiting area. I could see it from the waiting area.
Disappointed with the last two visits for service. First visit took 5 hours, did not get a copy of the service paperwork, maybe because completion of service was pending a part that had to be ordered?, my car was brought around and left outside, engine running, keys in ignition. My remote start engine button was missing off my key ring, no one seems to know what happened to it. Second visit, while in the waiting room I saw a car that looked like mine sitting in the parking lot. After approx 40 minutes, they came and got me and it was my car parked, service done, while I waited for them to come and get me.
