Ford’s Tire & Automotive

This place was AAA recommended so after our car broke down on the highway near Orangeburg, SC we had it towed to Ford’s Tire. Initially they thought the car was fine after looking at it and the fact that they were able to drive it into the repair bay. It from we are not sure to a second diagnosis of a repair to replace the transmission around $ 3,500 to $ 4,500. The car is a 2004 with 150,000 miles so not only a costly repair but especially a big ticket repair for an older car. We picked the car up from Ford’s and «drove» a few miles to the Honda repair place. We did not share the diagnosis from Ford’s with the Honda people so just asked them to check out our car. The Honda diagnosis was an over heated transmission so the repair bill was $ 150.00 and then we drove the car home and have been driving for days now with no problems. There was never any mention of the bad code by the Honda people and clearly we have not had a problem since the repair. So was it a bad diagnosis or just plain misrepresenting the facts?

Great service! Car broke down on I-​26 and Ford’s took care of us and were very friendly. Price of the part was a little higher than the dealer BUT no one else had it in stock and Ford’s got it for us. Labor rate was $ 88/​hr. Thank you for getting us on the road again!
