- Man, we must have a great Ford dealership or something. All I hear about
- is how poor these dealerships have been giving services. When we ordered our
- 1989 Sable through a dealership, it arrived one day late. A dealer personally
- delivered the car to our door (the dealership is over 60 miles away), had
- mud flaps and some other odd accesorries installed free, sincerely apologized,
- and gave us a "tour" of the car's features. We still have the car and get
- flyers in the mail every so often reminding to change the oil, but not
- advertising, just saying to change the oil. They also fixed the windshield
- wipers which were not under warranty at the time. We had to pay for the part
- but the labor was free. What can I say, I guess every dealership is a little
- (lot) different.
