Good dealer to have my SVTF inspected @?

[jocus]

Greetings,
Just signed up in this forum as I have been on FF and FJ for a while.

I am going to be taking my SVTF to get looked at soon to inspect a few things:

- cruise control won't turn on unless I drive a while, stop and turn the car off, then get going again. Seems to coincide with the cold.
- Slight grinding sound from the front with each wheel revolution at lower speeds. Also a gets slightly worse when slightly turning. Maybe a wheel bearing?
- misc strange occurrences.

Anybody recommend any Chicagoland dealers that will treat me right? I've recently had huge problems getting rental reimbursements, and previously had even greater problems getting serious problems diagnosed.. like wires going to the distributor being completely corroded and the car shutting off while driving

There are a couple dealers I don't ever want to go back to, but I won't list them yet, just to see what kind of feedback I get here.

Anyone ever actually get a loaner and not a rental?

Thanks!!

Welcome to the site, Jocus.

Where are you at? If you are on the South Side, Sutton Ford is a sponsor here and a good dealer to visit.

Sutton Ford in Matteson


They have a performance shop that is a sponsor here, and the guys will make sure you get treated right. I chose to go there because I knew that Randy and Doug would make sure I was treated right, I can talk to them as friends, and I know that they wont see my mods and hassle me about them when Im only asking for a paint job.

sooo.. I am completely fed up with Joe Cotton up in Carol Stream at this point. I see people Suggesting I go to Sutton. Do they still exist?

Anyone have words about Packey Webb? They are close to my workplace and sponsor SVT events.

Also.. I've just ordered four new rotors and pads from batinc I can do myself, but would rather pay someone with the right tools to do it. Any suggestions on local techs thatll install parts bought elsewhere? Tried to get some EBC rotors/pads installed on my old zx3 a couple years ago, and nobody would help me - "we only install what we sell"

I had a ton of work done on my SVT Focus at P Webb.
The service dept did a good job on the clutch issue (whole thing was a mess). They reflashed the computer and turned the rotors...allthough I thought they should have been replaced
I got an estimate for some minor body work and they were pretty high...
And I wouldn't reccomend or Trust their Sales Dept!!!! Happy to expand on that if anyone is interested...

??? What do you want for your Steeda Tri Ax? How about the rims???

So am I correct in understanding that Sutton is an SVT dealer and also has an independent performance shop in the same locale?

(my shifter was sold btw.. and I am hanging on to the wheels in potential partial trade for a motorcycle)

Sutton is not a SVT dealer, but they do like working on SVT vehicles. I think we will see them becoming a SVT dealer sometime soon. Hopefully in time for the 07 Cobra.

I'm not sure how it is now, but I know Joe Madden in Downers Grove was a really good dealership. They lost their 2 best techs there a couple months ago though.

We have a couple of 07 Shelby Cobra's coming to the Dealership when they are released off of the assembly line
