Ford service near Pantego, TX

Took my car in to replace both front and rear gaskets for oil leak and replace the rack and pinions. My car on in their shop for 3 days. On the day I picked up the car and drove off, the car made a loud whistle sound, unable to turn my wheels. I manage to drive back to the shop and the owner had to correct the issue. The rack and pinion was leaking power steering fluids all over. part of the rack and pinions was left loose as well. As for the oil leak, my engine is still leaking oil. They did not made the repair to replace the front and rear gaskets but instead charge me for it. To this day which is 3/31/2025, my engine is still leaking oil. I am filing a law suit to recover my money they stole from me. DO NOT TRUST THESE GUYS. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR HERE!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! If there are a negative -5 Stars they deserve it.

Stay away from this place. They are shysters. Horrible business people and they use every trick in the book to wear you down. I bought a Used BMW Engine that came from a Vehicle that was totaled in a Rollover in June 2009, from them in October 2012. They only way they would accept payment was to deposit Cash into their National Bank Checking Account. After I bought the engine and it was installed by a Reputable BMW Mechanic, there was no Oil Pressure. There was also moisture found in the oil residue of the engine. The Salesman, Eddy, at All Star Imports said give him some time and he will find another Engine. After almost two weeks he said he could not find another and to send him the engine back at his expense and he would refund me the entire amount of $5,700. After doing so they now have the engine and my money. They have now changed their attitude and say that my Mechanic forgot to put oil in the engine and ran the engine long enough with no oil and blew the engine. They now want to repair the engine and deduct it from the money I sent them. They never call back, I have hounded them incessantly. They are taking their sweet time and never let you contact anyone who can make decisions. It's a mystery who the Boss is and they say he'll call back, and never does. They use their broken English as a crutch and have more American nick names for each other than you can shake a stick at. The bottom line is it's their word against mine. It's a used engine. Did it ship damaged or did my mechanic forget to put oil in it and run it until it blew. I lost $3,000 installing the bad engine and now they are going to fix their engine with my money. The car was in a rollover accident, if it ran upside down it could have done the damage. If they didn't store the BMW Engine properly, that it sat for 2 years, the Crank Vents could have clogged and cause a vacuum which could have caused this. Either way they said they tested the engine before they shipped it which I don't believe. The

Kinney's always seeks to provide the best service possible. Part of that job is to spot problems and get them repaired. When people just do oil changes and NO MAINTENANCE they get big repair bills or at least they get asked to repair the vehicle in order to make it safe to drive. I see reviews where some folks think that being asked to keep their vehicle in GOOD repair is a bad thing.. they are very shortsighted to do that- just fix it when it breaks.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!!  I needed an alignment on my vehicle. Called a few places and the one that seemed to have a better deal was dfw frame and alignment. The alignment was quoted at around $60 which seemed pretty decent. Little did I know that after taking my car in to dfw frame and alignment, it quickly went from $60 to about $600 worth of work and repair. On top of that, it cost $42.50 just to tell me that.....  without having anything done to the car!! Diagnostic fees... It is posted on the counter top handwritten on a piece of paper. But unless your looking for it,  you wouldn't catch it. Nor do they go out of their way to let you know there is a diagnostic fee. They wouldn't do the alignment unless I first replaced my front tire. Otherwise it would void any type of warranty with the alignment service I was needing.  They stated that my front two axles would need to be replaced as well which would bring it up to about $600. But never once was it ever verbally discussed that just from them taking my keys and getting my car on a lift to find this out would cost me $42.50. The employee did state however, that if I were to come back to get my axles done the $42.50 wouldnt be charged again for the work...... But it would NOT be returned if I got the tire replaced and came back the next day to get just the alignment done.  I did clarify with dfw alignment that had I had good tires,  they would have gone through with the alignment and not charged me the diagnostic fee. Doesnt make any sense to me. Bottom line, had they been a more upfront that there would be a fee regardless of any work being done, I might have considered giving them a try. It just feels sneaky to me really set the character of the place. I'd personally be more loyal with my business to a place that doesn't try to outsmart you or always give you the upsale. just good quality and trustworthy service. I'm still looking for one. But dfw frame and alignment is definately out of that category in my book.
