| Recommendation for a good local Ford dealer
I'm interested in the new Explorer, and I'm wondering if any of you can suggest a dealership locally?
I'm not looking for the Richmond acura of Ford dealerships.

Brown Bros Ford has been good to me in the past. I still deal with their parts/service department, and their service is top notch.

Did you finance your new truck? Key West is WELL known for doing BRUTAL finance deals, outright ripping people off that aren't sophisticated enough to really dig into the implications of their loan. I can't tell you how many people we would have come in trying to trade a car in that they had bought and been financing through them and were so far backwards they didn't have a hope. Key West would be about the last place on the planet I'd buy a car, but that's just me, obviously some people have had positive experiences there too.

Only half decent person was the shop foreman Lindsay ( sp ? ) but his hands are tired by both management and head quarters.
Michael the service adviser is a nice guy though.
I am basing this with experiences from 3 years ago, but my feelings have not changed.

edit: thanks for the responses and PMs.
1990tsi, how's the Explorer fair so far? Reliable? Any issues?

Coastal gave us great trade in on the car. They did fuck some stuff up during the sales, and left my mom quite bitter. We now get the car serviced at Brown Brothers on her principle of "If you don't make me satisfied, you don't get the money from working on my car".

The salesman said it has to be a close family member who gives me the pin. And possibly has to be under their name..?

anybody know how the service department is at cam clark ford in north vancouver?
I'll probably have to take my explorer there for a pcm issue later, and have another unit installed and reprogrammed.

Posted via RS Mobile | Anyone who is a current Ford employee can get you a PIN. Your salesman is wrong. The PIN must be in your name to be valid. It doesn't matter if the employee is from Canada or the USA.
Do you plan on ordering a Explorer or purchasing one of the lot?

Stay away from West Coast Ford in Maple Ridge.
Co-worker of mine bought his new F-150 there, and although the deal to buy the truck was half decent, the clowns working in the service dept are a joke.
They BUTCHERED a sunroof repair on his new truck, to fix a leak.
After multiple attempts from West Coast to fix the leak, he took the truck to Dams (the one in Langley by Willowbrook Mall?) and they could not believe the hack repair job the guys did at West Coast. They took pics and sent it of to Ford Canada so they could see how bad it was.
As a result, another co-worker ended up buying a new truck from Dams, and had good dealings with them.
