  • RANT: Towne East Ford in Mesquite

    This place can fuck right the hell OFF!

    It all started when I took my son's 1990 Mustang up there last year to get it inspected after we bought it since you have to have older than '96 models on the dyno. During the inspection process they found a small wiring issue that affected the turn signal switch, so I had to have the wiring for the ignition switched fixed, which was very minor. Since then(roughly 6 months ago) they have called me not less than 6 times trying to get me to trade it in so they can sell me a GD vehicle. What kind of company is this or does this kind of garbage? Tactics like this seem extremely unprofessional, IMHO. I get that they want to sell vehicles, but to stoop to giving your sales team leads from people who have had their vehicle in for inspection and/or repair? It's almost as bad as the cocksuckers who up-sell shit that isn't necessary. Anyway, back to the story... to be completely honest, the first guy that called me 6 months ago I was actual really nice to and told him that the car in question was one I bought for my 16 year old son and I would not be trading it in to buy him a new car and also asked him to kindly take me off all of their "call lists". No dice, the calls continued, and as they continued I became increasingly irritated which lead to me not being so pleasant with the salesmen on the other end as none of them would take "No thank you, I'm not interested" for an answer and insisted that I listen to the "super great fantastic awesome motherfucking deals that they could offer me and I was sure to be impressed and wouldn't be able to say no". Fast forward to 15 minutes ago, the guy that called from Towne East that I just hung up on had the gall to tell me, after telling him 3 times that I was not interested and to please stop calling as I am STILL not interested in ANY of their vehicles, that I should just bring the Mustang down and trade it in because he was sure that it wasn't reliable nor meeting my needs. Whiskey! Tango! Foxtrot! Before I hung up I said "I have a 2010 Silverado sitting in my driveway, so how is it again that you're figuring I need to trade in this 20 year old Mustang since I have no reliable vehicle, nor one that meets my needs?" Click.

      Those fuggers had an 03 super crew that only had 33K miles on it a while back. I sent an e mail asking about it, and it was already gone. I got call after call and email after email for a while. So yeah, don't even call them if you don't want to get hounded for months afterward.

        I was checking around for a new vehicle and cannot fathom giving out my real information anymore. I had to finally mark the incoming emails as spam to keep from getting them because "remove from list" doesn't ever seem to work.

        God forbid giving them a real phone number..

          I wish I had been able to just wait for the car to be finished so I didn't have to give them my number in order to call me when they were done with it, but he said they weren't going to be able to get to it until late afternoon and I had work to get done.

            I still need to take the Exploder in for a recall, but hesitant to take it there now. I wonder if all dealers do that?

              I'm super annoyed that my recent online firearms related purchases have led to aggressive marketing from the NRA. I don't care who it was, I don't want these online retailers telling third parties I'm buying guns or ammo.
              ZOMBIE REAGAN FOR PRESIDENT 2016!!! heh

                You will regret it. I would probably look at taking it to Prestige Ford or Rockwall Ford.

                  It's like you have to put these fucks on some kind of marketing "no-call list" or they'll keep passing on your info for money.

                        "hi my name is Bob, in order to keep my job I have to make X number of calls a day. Will you please hang up on me so I can move on to the next number?"
                        Fuck you. We're going to Costco.

                          I've been looking for a new daily the last 2 weeks....

                          Don Davis - I emailed them about a truck and requested they contact me via email. The same day 3 different people called me asking me to come in. I never received that email, just calls. And they never answered my question about the truck.

                          Texas Toyota (Grapevine) - I took a vehicle home for a night because I got there late. They told me they would have all the numbers done by the time I came back the next morning. They had my Explorer keys because they were going to do a trade in value. It took about an hour to get my keys back after they doubled the monthly payment and made it 4 years longer than my outside financing bank already offered me. In the end it came down to $500 and I still walked out because of their tactics. Marcus and I both asked for my keys SEVERAL times in that hour. They kept blowing me off or giving me some excuse. It came to the point of me almost causing a scene to get my keys back.

                            Grapevine Ford FTW!

                            next time Town East calls, tell them "Put me on your Do Not Call List. I am taking note of the day and time I told you and will file a report with the FCC is you continue to call. This call is also logged on my Caller ID with the date and time."

                            Register your phone number to report stop or block unwanted, annoying,telemarketing, spam calls, robocalls to the FTC
