Sarasota Ford Awful everything

I was recruited after 13 years in car business to work for Vern Buchanon (running forcongress) and David Long at Sarasota Ford. After your induction where they let you do your way of selling cars (98.7 customer satisfaction index over last 3 years) they lay their way on you. Some are do not sell ad vehicles or get fired, cheat the customer by confusion, don't tell about ads, if asked for carfax tell them we will send it.

State law allows you to make 2 points on financing, they made5-10 sometimes.I was inundated with customers that I sold which managers lied which I had no knowledge and after dening, I recorded them. They smacked up a yellow with black racing stripes mustang since they fixed it, they said not to mention even though it was obviously 2 different colors. They put in showroom so it was dark and sold it.

As far as David Long who is 40, self proclaims to be homeless at 15 for 20 years. Then went into military for4 and then Vern gave him a job selling cars for 10 years. He says heis part owner for 3 years.This makes him 52. He also proclaims to be a heroin, meth, cocaine, and alcoholic.

1 1/2 years ago Vern told the controller if she did not give him financial reports before David she would be prosecuted as would David. He never pays what is owed except 1st month and never will pay last check. He will not let people with disabilities sign up for group health plans which is ilegal as is everything else. Just think, a congressman-Vern Buchanon and a drug addict-thief running a business.

I can go on but I have recordings, and other proof and witnesses to back up many pages. Right now Labor investigators, feds (taxes), and police are puttinga case together as I just got court date #1 to testify as did 12 others.

Sarasota Ford Sarasota ford will rob you blind if you take your car there

Took my wife (fiancée at the time) to get her oil changed in her ford escort. She picked it up later that afternoon and I was going to check to see if they had replaced the air filter. Well they didn't, so I decided to check the oil to see if it was at level. Well it was dirty brown...they never changed it as well and charged her over $30 for doing jack. I took her and the car down there and complained...they told me they changed everything and so I popped the hood and said really...I've never seen a brand new air filter that was brown or new oil that was nearly black with ### floating in it. After realizing he had been busted he apologized and had everything done again. Later that week my wife had a rep calling her saying that they wanted to buy her car and would give her a better rate for a new car than what she was paying on her current one. She told the guy her car was paid off and he went off on her saying she was lying and that no one owns their car anymore. Once again I had to deal with these people saying not to call her again and harass her. Whoever I talked to apologized and offered to give her some sort of coupon. Sarasota ford will rob you blind if you take your car there...if your a woman make sure you or someone you trust checks the oil and filter to make sure they actually did the work you paid for. I've never had someone flat out lie to me when its obvious work wasn't done...don't buy your car/truck from them or send it there for service..Go to autoway ford.
