Easily scheduled oil change & tire rotation. Vehicle was serviced in a timely manner as scheduled. I was notified of an open recall on the vehicle. Later I scheduled the recall repair. The recall repair was completed much quicker than estimated and I was kept notified of it's status all through the process.…

They did an okay job on the oil change only recommended services based on mileage not quality of fluid or filters with recommendations. Also on the oil change the tech was careless and damaged one of my wheels pretty bad with his/her socket.

I just purchased my beautiful Hyundai ELANTRA from Ford Of Columbia and it was the most positive experience that I have ever had purchasing a vehicle! I purchased this vehicle without ever seeing it in person which was a first for me! The service department turned my 2023 totally loaded beautiful vehicle into looking like it is brand new at no cost to me! They went above and beyond in their work and I am so impressed with this dealership of the sales department, Cannon, who I bought my car from and the service department, which turned it into an absolute gorgeous vehicle! I have had so many comments from people who have seen my car that it is absolutely gorgeous and it truly is. I cannot think you all enough for everything that you put into my purchasing my car from you from afar. I will never buy another vehicle from anyone, but you! Buying a car can be so stressful, and uncertain as far as how honest they are being with you. This experience far surpass any other experience I’ve had in purchasing a vehicle and I highly recommend everyone by their car from this dealership and if you can ask for Cannon!
