    Red slime on door handle.
    Ben C.

    Our car was in Frontier Ford's possession for two months, two weeks, and three days, yet it was only worked on in the final week. This was the most incompetent service I've ever experienced--not just from a service center, but from any business. I strongly urge you: do not have your vehicle serviced here. If you don't already own a Ford, don't buy one, so you can avoid ever being forced to deal with Frontier Ford. The ordeal began June 12, 2025, when Frontier Ford picked up our car with a check engine light. By the next business day, most competent service centers provide a diagnosis and estimate. Frontier Ford didn't call. When we followed up, they said it was a coolant leak. The next day, they escalated that into "the coolant leak destroyed your entire engine," quoting $12,000+ for repairs--more than the car was worth. Panicked, we rushed to buy a replacement vehicle. Frontier Ford's sales department offered us $100 for our car--essentially the value of two wiper blades. Thankfully, our original dealership (Bill Pierre Ford) reminded us we had purchased an extended warranty that covered the repair. Frontier Ford, instead of looking this up through their own VIN portals (as every other service center I've dealt with has done), blamed us for not telling them about our warranty at drop-off. The next 10 weeks became an endless cycle of chasing updates. Frontier Ford almost never called us--we had to call them weekly, often multiple times. 80% of the time our service agent was "busy" or "on break" and never returned messages. They gave contradictory explanations: first, waiting on Ford Corporate to decide if the warranty would be honored; then waiting on clarification about which engine could be installed. In the meantime, our insurance device was unplugged without notice, causing billing issues. Our assigned agent eventually "departed," and the Service Manager took over. He admitted he could do nothing but "email Ford Corporate." Often he wasn't even on-site despite saying he would be. When we finally reached him, explanations shifted again. At one point, they claimed the holdup was because their technician's ID number hadn't been updated, so all communications from Ford Corporate were being misrouted to another dealership. The following week, they admitted Ford Corporate hadn't actually approved the work. Every promised milestone--approval, parts ordered, parts arriving, repairs starting--was missed, repeatedly, for weeks at a time. Finally, on August 22--after more than two months--we learned our car was actually in a repair bay. On August 26, Frontier Ford called to say the repairs were complete. When returned, the car was filthy, with a red stain on the driver's handle and debris all over the floor. After several complaints, they reluctantly picked it up, washed it, and returned it in an acceptable state. Even the final delivery was botched: the driver didn't show up on the promised date, forcing us to reschedule. Throughout this ordeal, we lost PTO hours, spent extra money on gas and ferries, borrowed cars, and wasted countless hours trying to get updates. The entire summer of our family life was disrupted by Frontier Ford's delays, excuses, and incompetence. Every deadline was missed. Communication was abysmal. Explanations were contradictory. Promises were broken. Actual repair work took only the last week of the entire 10+ week ordeal. At least they waived the $100 warranty deductible--the same amount they first offered to "buy" our car. If you read other reviews, you'll see this is not an isolated incident. Frontier Ford repeatedly leaves customers stranded with long delays, poor communication, and endless excuses. Final warning: Do not service your vehicle here. Do not buy a Ford if it means you'll ever have to.

    Received this card (photo attached) yesterday in the mail from Frontier Ford Service Dept. I can hardly believe they say they talked to me about "important vehicle maintenance" and that "customer declined recommended service or repair". Wow--that is a complete lie. They barely talked to me at all. Let alone about any important vehicle maintenance. What a joke. I hardly have words for their unethical and dishonest way of doing business. It will catch up with them eventually.

    Sorry but there is no way Frontier Ford's service department deserves a 5-star rating Ted.

    We purchased a Ford Maverick from Frontier this year. The staff in the sales department was lovely. But the service department deserves a zero star review. Twice we've made appointments for recalls. And twice, after driving an hour to Frontier, we've been told the parts weren't available. It's total incompetence! Why would they allow us to schedule a service for our recall if they didn't have the Ford parts for that recall?! And the service department staff seems completely unconcerned. Today we were told they can't order the part until they see the truck, which is bull$hit.

    This is where the water is leaking from.

I was contacted on Monday that they would be able to begin working on my vehicle between Wednesday and Thursday. as of today, Thursday, I was contacted by a different person from this business claiming that they had attempted to call me yesterday, but from a personal phone and left no voicemail, stating that the shop is closed and will not be available for work for up to two more weeks. the people aren't even communicating with each other and are wasting peoples time and money. they need to fully post that they are closed to business and tell tow companies and insurance not to bring vehicles in until they are functional again. this is outrageous and a complete waste of the last five days where I possibly could have had it already looked at and addressed at an actual shop that is operating normally and honestly. highly dissatisfied and disappointing.
