can't fault the sales department. the salesman was willing to drive out to Van Reenens (half way to Durban) so that I could sign for the ST.

hopefully their servicing is just as good.

ja i got my focus 1.6 from them originally and i never had issues with the servicing, but since i have the ST im now nervous as hell, especially after my dealings with Eagle Ford.

ok so far my story
Basil Green replaced my Intake Manifold
They even went so far as contacting me and asking me about other issues i wanted sorted out.

I have complained directly to the Service manager at Eagle corner. that was last week, Wedensday
they have yet to get back to me regarding my car

So Basically i am finished with Eagle Ford.

Ok the story aint over
I have made an official complaint against EAGLE CORNER FORD to Ford South Africa.
They got back to me on Friday and are setting up a meeting to take my car to Basil Green to sort out the niggeling issues.
so the episode wll continue.

As for Eagle Corner i can only advise people avoid that place like the plague.
