For any forum members in or near the Dallas area, who has had a service experience with a local Ford dealership that they would recommend? I have the airbag recall to get done on my 2008 GT500, plus I'm looking for a place with a service staff that knows how to respect a Shelby. Between regular maintenance and the possibility of needing the clutch/flywheel/transmission replaced per TSB, having access to a high-quality Ford service department is very important to me.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

I've no first hand experience but...

The folks at Quantum Performance strongly recommend Sam Pack Ford in Carrollton off IH-35. That's where they send there Super Snakes for warranty work and tranny TSB's.

Good to know about Sam Pack's.

I have an excellent relationship with Bob Tomes Ford in McKinney. I've known several of the mechanics/service writers there for 15 years... several of them I consider friends/racing buddies.

I will take my car there if I ever need to and they'll shoot me straight on whether they feel 100% confident they can handle the issue (e.g.: flywheel TSB).

Here is a form that I print out and have them sign when anyone takes my car for anything at all.

The dealership here is so terrible it took 3 days to clean the engine bay after an oil change.

Well you're going to have to PM with an address, the settings are set ridulously low and I can't attach a 100k (yes...k) file. This is hilarious.

I've heard good things about Bob Tomes Ford in McKinney also, but do they have experience with Shelby Service ?


How about Bob Utter Ford in Sherman ? I know they are authorized to sell them (they currently have one on their show room floor), but any experience servicing them ?

Thanks

I'm sorry to say Ford has made it a little more difficult by dropping all the SVT dealership requirements. So you have to do your research to find a good dealer that has the talent to work on our cars.
