    Dealership prices should be illegal you will get better work and honesty from a local mechanic vs dealership.
    Chaliewhalie77 ..

    I am writing to formally complain about the poor service, overcharging, and mishandling of my vehicle during recent repairs at Price Ford of Simi Valley. I brought my 2005 Ford F-450 truck to your dealership for maintenance due to intermittent power loss issues, and the experience has been frustrating, costly, and unprofessional. Below is a detailed account of the events, which have led me to feel taken advantage of and disrespected as a customer. I am seeking a full refund of the amounts paid, compensation for my time and inconvenience, and an assurance that this matter will be investigated internally to prevent similar issues for other customers. I delivered my truck to your service department. The vehicle was operational but experiencing occasional power loss. After your diagnostic check, I was informed that the Fuel Injection Control Module (FICM) and injectors needed replacement. I expressed doubt that this was the root cause, suspecting a less extensive issue, but proceeded based on your recommendation as I needed the truck back in working condition. You quoted approximately $4,500 for the full repair, but I opted to start with just the FICM repair at $1,200 to manage costs. This repair was completed, but upon retrieval, the truck's symptoms remained unchanged--it did not resolve the power loss problem. Additionally, when I picked up the truck after this first repair, I discovered that my T-Mobile vehicle tracker was missing. After inquiring, a service employee and I searched the parking lot, where I found the device scratched and lying on the ground. This was unacceptable handling of my personal property, but I chose not to escalate it at the time in hopes of resolving the main issue. After saving additional funds, I returned the truck on for the injector repair. At this point, I was informed that the cost for the injectors had increased beyond the original quote, which was disappointing given my efforts to budget. I requested a discount and was offered approximately $500 off. However, shortly after agreeing, I received a call stating that additional parts--such as gaskets and other minor components--were required, further increasing the bill. These items should have been anticipated and included in the initial estimate, especially since the repair involved opening valve covers and similar work where reusing old parts would be impractical. The fluctuating prices felt like an attempt to maximize charges, with the estimate changing multiple times in a short period. Despite the escalating costs, I agreed to proceed to get my truck operational. The final amount I paid was just under $7,000 for the combined repairs, an exorbitant sum that could have purchased a replacement vehicle. Upon arriving to pick up the truck after the injector repair, the quoted price had increased yet again beyond what was last discussed. After paying, I waited over an hour only to be informed that my vehicle keys had been misplaced, and new keys would need to be made. This delay meant I could not take possession of my truck as expected. Shocked by this additional incompetence, I requested a refund, but received conflicting responses: initially, I was told a refund could not be processed without my card or physical presence, only for the answer to change moments later. The pattern of lost items (first the tracker, then the keys) raises serious concerns about how my vehicle and engine were handled during the repairs. If personal belongings were treated so carelessly, it calls into question the quality of the mechanical work performed. The entire experience resembled a high-pressure sales tactic rather than reliable service, with inconsistent pricing, poor communication, and substandard customer care. I feel exploited, especially as the initial FICM repair proved ineffective, and the overall process has left me without a functional resolution proportional to the cost. I request the following resolutions: 1. A full refund of the $7,000 paid for these repairs. 2. Reimbursement for any additional expenses incurred.

    The Service Department at this location falls into an almost predatory category. Back in July 2024 the State of California put into play the "Honest Pricing Law" or "Hidden Fees Statute SB 478" which means in short The price we see should be the price we pay. Including add on C/C fees if a business so chooses. But here when you go to close out your bill without notice a 3% credit card fee which was never disclosed within the estimate or discussion surrounding the repair. (Additional thought on this with a Ford Dealer this size I would be surprised if they paid more than 1.5% on their bank processing fees. This is only opinion I have no data to this except past experience) Typically not a major deal & we see that "convenience fee" quite often but unfortunately for me my bill was over $8K & the manager would only respond by text to the service agent. Had to leave the the site & my vehicle once again & make a return trip the next day with cash as they don't take a check & most of our debt cards limit out per day between $3-5K. Situation could have been completely avoided with discloser & the brash unwillingness to not only work with me but would only communicate through their Service Writer. Had to give a single star because it wouldn't let me put a half or a zero & still work into the avg. Going to let the State Bureau of Automotive Repair investigate & make the call if the $1,000 fine can be imposed as per the statute. Didn't hear back from the GM Mr Mark Podesta after a request so if you have the same issue here, please follow & file your complaint. THERE ARE OTHER PLACE TO GO & GET YOUR VEHICLE SERVICED, I WOULD RECOMMEND A DRIVE OVER TO THOUSAND OAKS FORD.

    Don't even think about going to this dealer. They broke something on my car while doing an inspection for a recall. The part apparently has been on backorder. Why do a recall if the part is unavailable? Further, they broke something that was just fixed a year earlier. The service department at Price gave me the runaround. It's six months later and my car looks like crap with an exposed two inch wide two foot long piece of metal exposed for the last six months. I'd finally had enough and called the service manager to get to the owner to ask them to use a part from a used vehicle to temporarily make my car look normal. He gave me some BS about the owner being out for the next week or so. kept wanting to argue. I said I'm not going to argue. I want to talk to the owner. He wouldn't do it. Also, I called the Ford corporate service number and they are even more useless. Basically a call center set up to rope-a-dope you. I have owned 4 Fords in my life. Never again. The Qualify on this most recent one is crap compared to the older ones. DO NOT BUY FORD and definitely not from Price Ford.

    My car is supposed fixed it not!

Not a fan of their mandatory add ons but you can typically negotiate the price down to cover that cost. I'd give sales a 3.5-4 star but this is about their service center. Took my Sienna in for its 5K toyota care service. Was informed that there was no oil change, which I figured so that wasn't a big deal. I paid out of pocket, about $130 which is kind of wild since it was $80 in labor for a 30min job. I'm still not even mad at that though since it is a dealer after all. Whats really annoying is that they scratched my cars side skirt during the service. I sent a message to them about it after I had picked my car up and went home...no response. Unfortunately I can't exactly hold them to it since I went home but I know that the scratch wasn't there prior to me bringing the car in. I walk my cars every day in the morning when I bring my kids to school and I would have seen it. No way it could have happened in the 3 miles back home. As a dealership this place is easy enough to work with, but for service, I'll drive over to someone that'll take better care of my car.

About a week later, my mom noticed a crack roughly a foot long directly underneath the windshield wiper. The wiper had to be lifted to even see the crack in the windshield. I contacted the service manager and brought the car in person for him to inspect the damage. Unfortunately, he dismissed our concerns and stated it was impossible for the dealership to have caused the crack. This response was disappointing and felt dismissive. We are certain the crack was not there before the service because our service advisor, Jessica, inspected the area around the windshield wipers at that time. Given this and the crack's exact location directly underneath the windshield wiper, there is no other way this damage could have happened except during the recent visit. I am sharing this because I believe it's important for customers to be aware of this experience.

Since that time, I have been through at least 5 service advisors. Tina being the only consistent one and now she is on absence. Yesterday, I had a scheduled 11am oil change appointment. I ended up arriving early by chance and dropped it off at 10:45. I was in no hurry so I decided to go for a good walk to kill time since they were not busy and were looking at a 90 minute time frame. When I came back from my walk at 12:30 (walked a good 4 miles) my truck was still in the service lane. I waited in the lobby for half an hour and it still hadn't moved nor had I been given any update. At one o clock I finally inquired and my truck had yet to been touched at all. I was offered a Lyft home which I accepted because I did have some work to get done. My service was finally completed and ready for pick up after four. I left the dealership at 4:30pm. That's a 5 1/2 hour oil change when I was expecting no more than 90 minutes. My job requires me to have a vehicle to drive around. Unfortunately I was unable to do any of my work yesterday once my service started. Imagine if that was played out the other way around? Dealership owners wouldn't be happy I assume. Highly debating where I will be taking my truck for my next service.
