    Great service and honest prices. My wife has been going…read morethere for years for inspections. The reason I do not go there is because I get free inspections at the Ford dealership.

    I took my Trailblazer to this facility to have an alignment done as he is highly recommended by our…read morecar club. (no longer the case) I had moved 2 hours north but felt the extra long drive was worth it to get quality work. After he aligned it I left the facility and ended up about 7 miles from his business on a narrow winding road with my front tires pointing in opposite directions. Turns out he didn't properly torque the lower control arm bolts and the left side lower control arm moved all the way to it's furthest adjustment causing a major misalignment. I had to sit there for almost an hour before he got there with a jack to try and get it at least drivable. That was a major fail and instead of offering a flatbed to safely get the vehicle back to his facility I was forced to drive it there on wet roads. The car was a handful and every turn it wanted to slide into the guardrail. He realigned it and tightened those bolts with his impact just like he did previously. I looked up the torque spec of those bolts and it was 190 ft lb! He said for giggles he'll throw a torque wrench on it. He got almost a half of a turn on the bolts before they we're at the proper torque. So they still weren't even close to being tightened properly! One hour into my 2-hour drive back home my car starts handling poorly again and I knew that control arm had shifted. Turns out the first time it moved it scraped the knurling marks off of the control arm that help it to retain its position on the frame. After discussing this with the business owner it was agreed the lower control arm needs to be replaced. I purchased it myself and had it drop shipped to his business. So, now I have another 2 hour drive back to his facility to get that done and have it re-aligned. When I got there he was very unpleasant. He replaced the arm and realigned it. He pulled it outside and told me it was done. I asked if he felt any responsibility towards paying for the control arm and his words were and I quote "absolutely not!" He glared at me and said you have a nice day. In other words get out of my building. So I did. On the way home I realized the alignment still wasn't correct as it still handled poorly and I could tell by the issue that the caster was incorrect as I've been at tech since 1973. I was in process of moving out west so at that point in time I put the car in storage until I could get out west, get settled in and then have it shipped to me. While it was sitting in PA waiting to be shipped to me I had a friend take it and have it realigned at a different business. Turns out he purposely misaligned the vehicle as it wasn't even close. I'll try attaching the before and after alignment sheets here. The vehicle is now back in my possession in Arizona and it handles as it should since the realignment was performed. This gentleman cost me the following: $97.26 for the original improperly done alignment $187.07 for a proper alignment $129.00 in premium fuel driving back and forth to his business twice. 100mi each way. $137.79 for the lower control arm For a total of $551.15. Not to mention: Probably lost a thousand miles of tire wear driving it back to his shop with the front tires pointing in opposite directions. 4 hours of travel time going back and forth to his shop twice 1 hour sitting along the road broke down 7 hours total sitting in his shop 12 hours total of my valuable time wasted plus a bunch of aggravation and money. This business is not recommended!

    Our RV's engine blew up one mile from our house, called Good Sams to help us find a tow and someone…read moreto work on the vehicle. They could not find anyone within 50 miles of us to work on it! They called Oaks and they came right away with a special tow truck for our 30 foot RV. Tony got her hooked up and took her away, 70 miles! Greg, such a friendly person and knowledgeable about what needed done, a new engine installed! They fixed it in less than 2 weeks, with a very reasonable cost, they could of really took us to the cleaners seeing no one else wanted to work on it. They were honest, friendly, and CLEAN.... not a trace of grease anywhere! Chris answered all my questions I had in a nice, happy you are here, way! They sure made new customers with us. THank you Greg!

    I am very disappointed on the fee that was quoted and the price they charged. they stated it is…read more$95 an hour (also minimum fee). we got our car stuck over the curb in the driveway and it took the driver less than an hour to get it back over the curb (with the use of my jack as well). The bill was $325.00. we called to ask why it was so high, they stated that it was more difficult than expected. NOT sure how difficulty has any to do with $95 an hour price quoted. also the dispatcher hung up on us after stating he had other calls to get without resolving the fee charge. CUSTOMER SERVICE and hidden fees is a reason I would NEVER recommend then to anyone and also advise everyone to call anyone but OAKS

    This dealership installed a faulty oil filter on my car that failed while driving, nearly killed…read moreme, and cost me an engine in $65,000 Shelby. How did they make it right? They lied on paperwork and covered up the oil filter, I had to fight with Ford corporate for 2 months, and thwir service manager Art Harding had to feed me a guilt trip aboit his broken family, a kid being raped, and something about a pedophile ring, because that seems lile an appropriate conversation. While cleaning the oil from my car, which took 3 weeks and me holding their hand by the way, they removed my bumper. They then reinstalled it incorrectly, failed to connect my turn signals, and when I told their VP Tom Cochran another dealer was fixing my engine, but if he didn't fix the bumper I would take him to court he told me "bring it on." Literally, the biggest pieces of garbage to ever work at a car dealership.

    I had a positive experience leasing a vehicle from Ron Lewis, and even had it in for service and…read morerepairs a few times, but when the time came to purchase it at the end of the lease, everything changed. It started months before the lease ended, I tried to get some information from them about my options, but could not get anyone to call me back or answer questions. When the deadline came, I called and asked what I needed to do. Dave, the finance manager said "just come in anytime". So I drove 45 min out to the dealer after work one day, but he could not get the computer to work. This appeared to be a problem with the Ford Website, so I was understanding and agreed to come back another day. Dave said to come back before 5 in case there was another computer problem they could call Ford Support. Nothing else was mentioned, and the same "stop by any time" offer was made. A few days later, I leave work early and drive another 45 minutes out. I call when I am 10 minutes out to make sure that Dave is available. Dave tells me that I should have made an appointment, I need some kind of inspection, and that they can't help me today. I would have to call and make an appointment and drive back again. The inspection is required by PA, but this was never mentioned in any of our conversations before. Additionally, the service department was already closed the previous evening and Dave never mentioned that an inspection would be a problem. With 90 minutes before the service department closed, I asked if they could squeeze me in considering that I drove out there twice. No way. I talked to the general manager, and was given the same attitude. Nothing he could do except make me another appointment. Worst of all, no apologies for my wasted time and money. No apologies for them dropping the ball and lying to me and giving me misinformation. I was traveling for a few weeks, so I asked for Saturday Appointment 3 weeks away. The GM promised he would take care of it. Weeks passed, and the GM never called or e-mailed to confirm an appointment. I had to call the dealers service department, and make my own appointment. I asked, and they confirmed that I was not in the system and no appointment was made for me. The GM promised to do one minor thing, and couldn't even do that. This time, I double-checked my appointment and the availability of someone to assist me and drive back out for a third time. I was half-expecting some sincere apologies, or a personal apology from the GM, but nothing was said. I met with a salesperson, the car was taken to service, and this time Dave got the computer to work. All business, no apologies or offers to help offset my lost time or money. OK, at least I got the car bought. Afterwards, I am standing in the lobby waiting for my car. And waiting. And waiting. I eventually had to steal a chair from someone's desk just to sit down! You'd think that after all of that, they would at least hurry my car through. It took a full two hours to do a end of lease inspection! And I get to sit there listening to the salespeople using all the classic sleazy sales tricks to get an older gentleman into a car he can't afford. Really showed me what kind of dealership they have become. In the end, no one ever apologized or made any offer to compensate me for my time, money or effort. Here's your keys, goodbye. Worst of all, taking the car for state inspection at another Ford Dealership showed that some of the repairs that Ron Lewis claimed to have made in the past were just band-aids. The proper parts were never replaced. Now I have to fight that with my insurance company. If you deal with Ron Lewis Ford, expect high-pressure sales tactics and really poor customer service and horrible attention to detail.
