ST180 - My Warranty experience with GATES FORD!

Welcome back all,
In this video I share my experience with Gates Ford. I have good and bad things to say about my 2 experiences with ford warranty and in this video I explain what went so wrong with my fiesta. Apart from the 2 week wait and disgustingly dirty floor mat, they didn't do as bad as my first experience with them. Anyway, onwards and upwards. This was a bit more of a chatty video but I wanted to fill you guys in with everything that's been going on over the past two weeks.

    Those bloopers haha 🤣🤣 Don’t blame you getting the use out of the warranty Mitch it’s what it’s there for mate just a shame your experience was let down by how they left your car and the delay getting it back to you. Although dealership service washes aren’t always the best things in the world so you may have dodged a bullet there 😂

    I had the same problem with dirty carpets in my focus rs when my car went in to ford dealership here in Oxford for a electrical problem witch they botched. I then heard of Perry's ford dealership out of Oxford and they are brilliant 👍

    Even when our Kia Sportage is in its warranty I always check with my bro in-law first as he is a mechanics with his own garage. Feels much safer him working on our cars as just don't know what these dealerships do. It's even the little things like can they not just bang the mats out and give them a quick hoover ffs, just the little things

    Think it's important to share things like this. Definitely would send a link to the manager (not to be a Karen) like someone suggested. Seems like most places, not just automotive, have no idea what the customer experience is actually like... Still love the st though, hope it goes on for many many happy miles now that it's all sorted

    Think I might have to, I guess they won’t know how to improve without complaints. I’ve grown fond of it again, even tho the battery was flat this morning 😂 hope you guys are well, hope we are still game for that pint 🍺

    I would send that video of before and after to the ford customers service and a copy to the ford dealership principal and ask him if that’s standard customer service when you put your car in for warranty claim if you don’t complain the dealer principal will never know what’s happening in his garage

    I've heard of a few now but It's not too common. if I had not driven it anymore when the injector failed no doubt the turbo wouldn't have needed changing.
