Northstar Ford Calgary

Absolutely AWFUL service department My 7 year old E250 van broke down and Northstar was the closest dealership. I figured that taking a vehicle to the dealership would get me the best s My 7 year old E250 van broke down and Northstar was the closest dealership. I figured that taking a vehicle to the dealership would get me the best service. WRONG! I was quoted $750 for a repair to the head. The technician botched the job and made things worse so the service advisor tells me that now the entire engine has to be removed and the head sent in to a machine shop and did I want to go ahead? I suggested that maybe they should give me a price first before I make that kind of a decision. She seemed surprised by that but agreed to call me back later. When she called back with the $6000 quote in addition to the $750 I owed for the botched repair, I said no thanks. I'd have to be crazy to spend that kind of money on a van of that age. She said that it's very expensive to remove and re-install an engine. I questioned whether the engine really had to be removed or not but she insisted that it did. I had no choice but to pay the $750 or they wouldn't release the van. I had it towed to another shop and they were able to remove the head, have the machine shop fix it and re-install it for $2500 and they DIDN'T have to remove the engine. Whatever you do, DON'T use this dealership, they can't be trusted. More

service deptartment has no clue what is going on I bought a 2014 Ford Escape and spoke to 4 different people in the service department regarding having a remote started installed, not one person told I bought a 2014 Ford Escape and spoke to 4 different people in the service department regarding having a remote started installed, not one person told me I had to bring in both sets of keys. When I arrived early one Monday a.m. I was advised I needed to bring in both sets. Not one person ever called me back to re-book the appointment. When I picked up my new car I pointed out to the sales manager a flaw in the sun viser, I was told they would fix/replace that part under warrenty. 5 months later am told they will not replace or fix it under warrenty. I am not impressed with that dealership at all. More

Service has no clue AND bad attitude My Ford F250 Diesel 2008 steering wheel started to rock left and right very violently. Could barely get it to the dealership for repair The charged m My Ford F250 Diesel 2008 steering wheel started to rock left and right very violently. Could barely get it to the dealership for repair The charged my 1800 for front end work. Drove a block and the exact same issue occured They did not test drive before or after the repair, or otherwise they would have noticed it was the wrong repair, and ineffective next round they swapped out the steering box, gave me a break on 2 hours of labour (big wow) but still charged full price on parts had to take it back in again becuase the steering wheel whas hugely off centre. Did they take it for a test after the last repair ?? So I hardly drove it, in 2.5 months cause I am scared to get behind the wheel. Start up the truck after this timeframe and get a Yellow light on Engine and airbag at SAME time. Drove it and guess what, after a left turn, the steering wheel violently rocks left and right, and then stops, but steering wheel is off center I take it in, they charge me 300 for diagnosis and wont reset the fault codes for airbag or engine. I begged them to do this and see if the lights come back on, however they refused. They did not reajust the steering back to center. OH, and then said there is NOTHING wrong with my steering. Guess I just imagined it... What a horrid experince. I called my local repair place CERTEC and they will reset the codes for free (will take 10 min) and investiage my steering issue for free, and charge me if repairs are needed. my advise is DO NOT EVER USE THIS SHOP. They are not courtous and techs need better training. More

Stole my Deposit! Stay away! They took advantage and tricked me, straight up. Mislead me to thinking my deposit would be returned to me and would be used only to "hold" Stay away! They took advantage and tricked me, straight up. Mislead me to thinking my deposit would be returned to me and would be used only to "hold" the car I was interested in. When I went to collect it the next day after choosing not to buy the vehicle (it had been in an accident and I felt it was too great a risk) they refused to give me my money back. Then I read more reviews and realize they are inconsistent with deposits. Shady!! Will never buy from here!! More

Don't take your vehicle to Ford collision center for reapirs I bought the brand new Ford Fiesta from this dealer in July 2014. I meet with an accident in December 2014. I took my vehicle for repairs, they said i I bought the brand new Ford Fiesta from this dealer in July 2014. I meet with an accident in December 2014. I took my vehicle for repairs, they said it is not drive able and they will repair it as soon as insurance company send the approval. My vehicle is still at dealership, since 23/12/14. Every time I called them, they said that insurance company didn't send the approval. But they were laying to me for 13 days and when I asked when can I get it repaired they were saying it will take another 3-4 weeks. When my insurance company asked the reason they said it is because my vehicle is not drive able, they were repairing other vehicles. Now I don't have a rental vehicle to travel. I am really stuck because of the bad service and misdirection of the people at North Star Ford. More

Horrible experience I bought my second car from this dealership. E everything seemed great in the beginning but now I'm being ripped off left right and centre because of I bought my second car from this dealership. E everything seemed great in the beginning but now I'm being ripped off left right and centre because of them. First thing that happened was I brought my car in due to a recall on it and they took it upon themselves to remove rocks from my tires. ROCKS. LITTLE TINY ROCKS. And then proceeded to try to charge me for it because I asked them to do it. WHO on earth asks for rocks to be removed from their tires?! And now there is an issue with my financing and I'm at risk of having my car repossessed because of their poor communication with ford credit. I'm being told one thing by the dealer and another thing by ford credit. I'm being told that my payments are actually over $200 more a month then what we agreed on at the dealership with the 'flex plan' which actually turned out to be the biggest scam ever. They have told me that it's fixed but I continue to get calls from ford credit saying I owe them money because I've been under paying them for the past 8 months by about $250 a month. So I owe them a bunch of money. I am so disappointed because I cannot afford to pay all this money or more then the monthly amount I'm already paying and if they take my car I'm probably never going to be able to finance a car again even though it is straight up their fault. I agreed to pay a certain amount and that's what I've been doing. All on time. All the amount I was told. I've held up my end and they let me down. I'm going there tomorrow to deal with it and I'll probably be leaving with no vehicle this time. I will never ever buy a ford again because of this experience. All I've ever had was a ford and I've had nothing but great experiences until I bought this car. More

poor quality I have a four year old mustang, and the passenger door is rusting on the inside and outside. The service manager at Northstar Ford said he would cont I have a four year old mustang, and the passenger door is rusting on the inside and outside. The service manager at Northstar Ford said he would contact Ford Canada for warranty coverage and get back to me in 2 or 3 days. After not hearing from him I followed up a week later and he told me he would call me back. Another week went by without hearing from him so I call back and again he tells me he will look into it and call me back. The following week I have to call and threaten to come down and interrupt whatever he is doing in order to get him to talk to me. Turns out, rust on a four year old Ford is not their problem. DON'T trust Ford quality, and DON'T trust their service. More

This place is hooped - did not buy here About mid-June, started my search for a vehicle one day just before closing. We just wanted to browse the lot to see if there was something we would About mid-June, started my search for a vehicle one day just before closing. We just wanted to browse the lot to see if there was something we would be interested in. The salesman was friendly and we told him we would come back on Monday to take one we were interested in for a drive. Went back on Monday, took it for a spin and then the interesting stuff started. I offered a price - that was too low for them, countered and they came back with a "today only" deal. I was not going to drop any amount of money that day as I needed to think on it, work out my finances. The sales guy tried, but I said, I'm sorry - there is NO way a deal is happening today. The sales "kid" came out, started rambling on about how "he might not give us that deal tomorrow" to which I said "I'll take my chances". Then the discussion went to finances - did I want to finance or what. I said I don't know, I may want to just pay for it. The finance "kid" said, "what kind of person drops the entire amount of cash on a vehicle that depreciates as soon as you drive it off the lot?" At that point I was done. I went home, thought what the xxxx?? Didn't they want to sell one car today? I sent an email to the sales guy and told him that the ginger "kid" was the deal breaker. No way, not ever, would never recommend them. While we were there I heard someone else on the phone with (I assume) a customer saying, "okay, well come back in and I'll make you happy"...... Ended up getting a higher end vehicle for $3K less somewhere else. More

Beware Northstar Ford Recently bought a new truck from Northstar Ford and the experience was disappointing. After discussing term and giving a $1000 down payment we determi Recently bought a new truck from Northstar Ford and the experience was disappointing. After discussing term and giving a $1000 down payment we determined my monthly payments would be $530. The day after I picked up my truck I received a phone call stating they filled out the wrong paperwork and would be returning my $1000. My monthly payment went up to $615 a month, I was manipulated and lied to by there sales manager, sales person, and finance. They were unwilling to work with me to lower these payments and were VERY concerned that I give them a 100% positive review on there customer satisfaction survey. I would strongly caution anyone to shop around before going to Northstar. More
