Default Ford dealer reccommendation

Any recommendations for a local Ford dealer for some Warranty work? Moved here recently and have a Ford warranty and need to get some work done, thanks.

I recommend Village Ford. They are very good. I don't like doing business with Key Scales.

Village Ford is now Gary Yeomans Ford.

We use Prestige Ford of Mount Dora for all service. Key Scales Ford tried to charge a dealer mark up when we were paying off our lease.

Actually, you can pay off your lease directly to Ford Corp. and save the hassle of going to a dealer.

Highly recommend Village Ford. Their service dept is excellent.
If you call ahead they will reserve a loaner. See Jay

I would not recommend any of the local Ford dealers for repairs. Good luck.

All dealerships are a ripoff, especially now that electronic parts are coded to only allow a dealer to install with their computer….

If it's warranty work go to either of the above. If it's something else like maintenance oil changes brakes tires there are several others on here that you can search for like Wildwood tire or others . I have a Buick currently and the corporate dealer charged me $50 for a fast oil change whereas pep boys or Walmart will charge around 30. Last I'll go ever.

Do NOT use Key Scales Ford in Leesburg. What’s a good word?…slimy?

I bought by wife’s car from Ocala Ford Lincoln and have it serviced by Plaza Lincoln across from the Leesburg airport. Call either Bobby Adams or Kristi Bernhardt in their service. department.

I use Prestige Ford in Mt. Dora. I made a service appointment with Key Scales, waited 3 weeks, when my service date came they wanted me to leave the car for 3 days. At that point, I said this is a ripoff and called Prestige Ford. They got me an appointment in 2 weeks and identified the problem and fixed it the next day, after receiving parts.

Default Ford Warranty

DO NOT use Scales Ford. Poorly run and poorly managed. Unskilled and NO desire to help the customer. Have had nothing but poor service at Scales. Yes....it is the closest but they lack the customer care that is needed for the Villages customers.
