Whats crackin'????

What dealership should I start going to for my warranty work????

Honestly up here I haven't found one yet that I completely trust not to screw something up.

Van Cleve in Morton used to be pretty good but I don't know much about them anymore.

Uhlmanns in Chehalis lost their good diesel techs to a private shop in Napavine.

Five Star in Aberdeen is a Hartman store--enough said about that crook.

Value Ford up here in Elma isn't a real dealership at the moment--apologies to Stormy but until they finish the new building their shop has only two bays. :argh:

I heard Lakewood Ford is really good...brand new store. They work on the big trucks, too.

Well, with 17 years under one of our techs and 3 years from me we dont rat anyone out. Unless its blatently obvious that the mod caused the problem. If you turn down a modded truck you will turn down every truck that comes in. We are a mod friendly dealer. We install studs upon request also. We know how to take care of our customers.

I grew up next door to Van Cleve jr. in morton.:U:

Lakewood sounds like the best bet so far........

Cool, there should be more like you guys.

There used to be, but sadly many changed due to the OEMs strict warranty audit processes.

Kudos on you guys! :U:

I bought my first Ford diesel from Van Cleve.

The Uhlmanns guys went to Lewis County Fleet Service--its owned by an ex-Uhlmanns mechanic. Started out as an after hours gig now he has 4 techs and does a bunch of the big fleet work in the area (Bonneville Power, Verizon, Weyco, etc). Good bunch.

Lakewood is a brand new Titus-Will store on S. Tacoma Way off the Bridgeport Way exit. All new, huge place, seem to do good work--that's the rumor anyways.
