Used the Valet and worked good for morning pickup, however, the afternoon did not work and needed to get ride in the afternoon defeating purpose of valet service. Also, had advisor leave for day and did not call me about vehicle being ready. If I had not gone to service center would not have gotten vehicle in time for work on Monday. This is why you got 3 star. Need to do better on customer service all the way through the process.

I called Maxwell Ford and they got me in the next day and said it would be 4-5 hrs. They also found a problem with my alignment, which could cause problems in the future. It was finished when they said it would be and their customer service is excellent. My 2020 Escape Titanium is now out of dealer warranty so I will be calling Maxwell Ford for repairs moving forward!
