My local ford dealer said they wouldn't change them. They told me to see a specialist....
My Dad is the shop foreman at the local Ford dealership and just a few days ago, this one idiot did a brake job on an Econoline van and the people picked the van up and drove away. 2 minutes later, the lady calls, cussing on the phone because her tire fell offunclejackrock said:I wouldn't let Ford change my oil.........

My Dad just laughed....that's what kind of service you get these days. You either get someone really good, or someone who is really bad.

No it's cool. I didn't take it that way at all, but I do know what you mean. My uncle is a Chevy guy and they are the only place I've never heard anything bad about, but I'm sure someone does.unclejackrock said:Nothing against your Dad dude!! Hell, my Dad has been a Honda mechanic for 25 years. It's just that dealership shops screw up ALL THE TIME....and BAD!!! I got tons of horror stories, as probably many of us here do.
Dealership shops = Under trained, Over priced, Screw-ups waiting to happen
