Hey guys. Who knows of a Ford dealer in the area (San Gabriel/Pomona Valley)where you've had a better than normal experience with service? I've heard that Colley in the San Dimas area is okay. I've got four dealers in my (Rowland Heights) area but they've never been too efficient with my Ranger so the 'Tour may be out of the question. Failing a dealer, any privately owned shop that anyone has been happy with? I just know there are going to be somethings that I won't be able to do on my car and I'm just dreading the thought of leaving it somewhere where it may come out in worse condition than it went in. frown Thanks guys!

I purchased my car at Colley, and I've always had good service there. I recently took my car to Ford of Upland (not an SVT authorized dealer), my powersteering rack took a dump, long story short, it took them five days to replace my rack, and I was not too happy with them. I'd suggest taking your car to an SVT authorized dealership, they may know more about what they're dealing with...

Thanks Dion. My neighbor took his Lightning to Colley. I knew they were a SVT dealer. So is Sunset where I bought my car but Colley is closer so I'll give them a try. smile

no, it's possible, just have to find the right one...but I do get the joke. Like I said, Colley Ford in Glendora has been really good to me and my car. Never do they blow sunshine up my ass.
