Strawman Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Those who've purchased their SGT's from a different dealer than where they're serviced, what kind of reception can I expect from the servicing dealer? I live in Florida, buying my SGT from Randy at Freeway Ford in Denver, I'm a little concerned how I'm going to be treated locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagerart Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Those who've purchased their SGT's from a different dealer than where they're serviced, what kind of reception can I expect from the servicing dealer? I live in Florida, buying my SGT from Randy at Freeway Ford in Denver, I'm a little concerned how I'm going to be treated locally. I took mine to a closer dealer for a leaking shock. They are more than happy to charge Ford for the warranty work. At first they asked if I did the modifications or if they came that way, but otherwise they treat me just fine. The service shop revenue can make or break a car dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I have used 2 non-selling dealers without any problem. One of them was pitiful, but they would have been that way even if I bought my car there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webba Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I bought mine in Mass but live and take it to my local dealer in Maine. My dealer in Maine was playing the bend over ADM game so I went elsewhere. The service guys are great where I go and have no issues at all. They cant control what the sales department does and have never looked down on me or given me a hard time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was asking $52K and would not drop below $42.5. Now, that same SGT is sitting OUTSIDE by the road w/ a big sign next to it advertising it at $39.8K, still $2K more than I paid. Some dealers never learn I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyPilot Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 I was recently forced to goto the nearest dealer form the side of a freeway. i couldn't be happier with their service. For normal service if you live or work local they should try to keep your business. If you take your car to a dealer for regular service you may have better luck when it comes to warranty. If they don't don't go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
