Dealer Recommendations

I have a 2006 F150 that I bought used from Columbia Ford. I got the extended warranty and have brought it there for any repair work that I needed. I've had some pretty crappy service there plus it's over an hour drive from my house.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good Ford dealerships with good service around the Hartford county area? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I love Interstate Ford. Not sure they'll do work on an F150 they deal pretty exclusively in larger (f250+) trucks but it's worth a shot. Very good service and reasonable pricing on everything including parts.

I have dealt with Crowley Ford (Plainville) for warranty work a couple of times without any major issues.

I've never had issues with Morande in Berlin and I bought my old Bronco at Dillon? rt 83 Vernon and was happy there.
Oh and Monaco in glastonbury's supposed to be very good, but I don't have first hand knowledge I just know what my customers said when I was towing.

Monaco and Morande have both been very good to me over the years with my trucks!

Too bad Dillon ford is gone from my town. I see tons of cars that came from there at least 5 a day all over ct. My dad even bought the ole 83' from Dillon brand new back in the day.
