Dobbs Ford Wolfchase in Memphis, TN Extended Service ripoff
Add Dobbs Ford Wolfchase in Memphis, TN to the First Extended Service ripoff businesses. Both your CA dealership and Dobbs are Ford dealerships. We purchased an extended warranty with the ford and when the drum in the automatic transmission broke the warrnaty was not honored due to the fact that we had not exclusively used Dobbs' Service Department for all of the
work that needed to be done.
From this experience I will never even consider buying a ford and I will never buy an extended service contract. This is the second time that I have had extended service folks pull this. I cannot find the paperwork on the first one.
I will be buying 3 cars in the next 18 months and not a one will be American made and not a one will have an extended service contract. I hate to be messing up the nation's balance of trade but American automobile manufacturers are out for one thing and they could care less ahout repeat business when compared to the quick buck.
Extended warranties are of zero value and are costly. I wish that the state attorneys general would go after these charlatans and put them out of business.
Thanks for letting me vent,
Hugh Wardlaw

Hugh W. if you let a car dealer's F&I department sell you an extended warranty make no mistake that they, the dealer's F&I department will always stack a heavy profit on top of what they pay for whatever they sell you.
Hugh Wardlaw I also would like you to check out the following web sites and after you visit all of them ask yourself ONE QUESTION, "What do these web sites do for car dealers?"
Here is the list, Go to them ALL, OK?
www.probac.com
www.nationalautotraining.com
www.appliedconcepts.net
www.grantcardone.com
www.davidlewis.com
www.jeffsacksandassociates.com
www.stukertraining.com
www.paulcummings.com
www.nationalautotraining.com
www.tewart.com
www.joeverde.com
www.biggross.com
After you check out the above web sites, I ask you to post an update as to what you think these web sites do for car dealers.
Hugh most of the dirt about car dealers will never be told to consumers by your local newspaper or your local TV station.
They both get most of their income from car dealers. If you want to read up on current car dealer scams, always come to the best web site. www.ripoffreport.com
Both, Car dealers and car makers hate this web site because this is were their deception is revealed to EVERYBODY and they, the auto industry can't stop their deception from being exposed.
Never be too fast to trust any car salesman. they are out to bend you over before you think of going down to the dealer down the street.

Buying an extended warranty from a dealer is NOT buying an extended warranty from the manufacturer. It is more like buying a medical insurance policy. You don't get to choose your doctor other than the ones on their list. The purpose of this is to control the cost to "repair" you. Same thing with a car or truck. Odds are, as with most people, you were happy to have the deal done and ready to leave in your new vehicle. All those contracts to read, and you've allready been at the dealership for a couple of hours, it didn't seem important at the time to "completely" read the contracts did it?
Before buying a car, boat, house, or anything that may be equal or greater in value to your annual income; please research the industry first. Then, research the local businesses in that industry before you start negotiating.
