    They charged me $4500 for work on a car that they never fixed the issue with. Upon talking to the service manager he said he could give me $300 back then once we started to talk he said the car needs to go to a performance shop because its tuned so i asked why did you even work on it then in the first place. Upon hearing me say this he turned extremely petty and said he wouldn't give me anything back, So I asked to speak to the owner who the service manager said was gonna be in a meeting for a few hours but said he could do a $700 refund. so I told him i would come back in an hour to speak with the owner in person upon arriving an hour later i found out both the service manager and owner went to lunch when he was supposedly gonna be in a meeting for hours. I then told the service advisor that I would getting in touch with a lawyer, and magically an hour later I get a call from the service manager saying he could do $1400 which is what I wanted back for labor. He tells me to come in and get the check and have the car gone by today. I drove back to the dealership 20 minutes away for the third or fourth time to get the check and he tells me he won't give it until the car is gone. This presents an issue for me because I work third shift, and have been up for almost 24 hours, and I wouldn't be able to get it for a few more hours until I get a ride there or could drop off the keys to person who's gonna work on it next because the car still doesn't run right after $4500 of work.. He doesn't care because he's still acting petty over the fact I called him out for bad work. I have never had such a worse experience at a dealership in my life completely unprofessional, and lies to the customer.

    *****, we appreciate the opportunity to try to help fix the vehicle you brought to **. You are correct, unfortunately we were unsuccessful in fixing your vehicles issues.  I understand your frustration with us but after reading your review, I realized there were a number of key points that were left out.

    I'd like to cover those briefly.  When you brought the Mustang to us, you stated it has been heavily modified and tuned by an aftermarket shop, but still not running properly.  You also mentioned that it had been to 2 other shops prior to bringing it to us, and those shops could not fix the timing & fuel issues. This being the first time we've met you or worked on your vehicle, we wanted to help resolve those for you. 

    You were clear in your communications of what issues existed, and what you wanted repaired, and in return we were clear in our communications on the estimated time it would take, what potential challenges exist and that we will do our best to work through the issues, but could not promise the desired outcome.  From there, we both agreed to move ahead and dig into it.

    We performed each task you requested, and when those did not fix the issues due to the aftermarket tuner not communicating with ****'s software, we turn into the "bad guy" for trying to help you out of those issues. 

    When we communicated back to you that we were unsuccessful in satisfying the issues, you immediately demanded all of your money back and began berating my service employees for bad work and bad attitudes.  Rest assured, we have the highest trained and skilled technicians in the area who have extensive knowledge on a wide range of vehicles and performance modifications.

    I believe we showed that we cared by taking on a challenging vehicle, when we could have turned the work away.  This is the unfortunate side of trying to help, sometimes it doesn't work out.  We did refund the labor cost and requested to not work on your vehicle again based on how we were treated when the desired outcome was not reached.

    Again, I do appreciate the opportunity to help and I apologize we were unsuccessful in fixing the issues.
