Maritime Ford-Lincoln Inc

unknown

My elderly cousin no longer needed her Grand Marquie. I took her and the car to the used car department, a low price was quoted, with the advise to try to sell it privatly, which I did. The offer was good for four weeks. I found a buyer,who wanted to look at all the service records. I called Maritime and to my surprise, they ask me to stop in on my test drive to pick up fourteen copies of all the bills. Great service!!

i bought a new to me ford truck from maritime ford and 1800 miles later it blew head gaskets. they gave a quote to replace the engine and fixed it with in a week. i am still paying for that engine even thou the truck is gone.

This dealership merits a mixed review. While their entire staff is friendly and willing to work with customers, there is cause for serious concern with their service department, especially when it comes to used car conditioning and sales. With the used car I purchased (34k miles), I was told by the salesperson that it had been reconditioned to “certified used car specifications,” and that the price was not particularly negotiable because of this. But within the first 1500 miles after my purchase, I discovered that the emergency brake had not been serviced, the engine air filter had not been replaced, the engine oil was 2 quarts low and that the entire rear brake system (calipers, discs and pads) had to be replaced at a cost of $550 because of extensive rust. I was significantly upset by this, so I informed Maritime Ford of the problems. The dealership had a difficult time believing that their service department missed these things, and I had equal difficulty believing that need for such repairs could have gone unnoticed, so Maritime Ford agreed to split the difference and pay for half of the repair costs. This is much to their credit since unscrupulous dealers would have likely said, “Tough luck,” and then told me to get lost. Nevertheless, the bottom line is that Maritime Ford did NOT do a sufficient inspection of the vehicle they sold me, and it was certainly NOT reconditioned to “certified” standards. I consider myself extremely lucky that major engine damage did not result from their failure to adequately fill the engine oil, and I am left to wonder if anything else is wrong with the vehicle that has yet to be discovered. I would like to give a better review, but I just can't, given all the circumstances.
