I recently purchased a 2009 F 150 from Jenkins and Wynne in Clarksville, TN. First they lied to us about $1000 discount. The manager never told us he put it in our rebates and that we had to finance through Ford Credit Union for the first 30 days until we spoke with the finance manager.

Then they took 45 days to process our loan paper work and still managed to charge us over $300 in interest when they were holding onto our loan work. How does that happen? It's been over 7 weeks and they still haven't sent us our tags.

The manager called and told us if we wanted our tags it would be another $50.50 because they couldn't transfer over the registration for some reason that he couldn't tell me. I asked for the general managers name. Larry Schultz, the manager, was very rude and didn't want to help me. He also hung up the phone on me when I was trying to ask how we could sign a contract for a certain amount of money and they could go back and demand more for a mistake on their part.

Murray, the general manager, called me later in the evening and told me that the registration didn't go through because my boyfriend and I weren't married yet. What does that have to do with anything? I told him that the man that sold us the truck was very aware of the fact that we weren't married yet. I told him that was a mistake they made and not us, so just send me my plates. He told me he would speak with the owner, Don Jenkins, and get back to me.

I am very disappointed with the customer service from Jenkins and Wynne and would really like to speak with the owner myself. If anyone has his email address or number, I would really appreciate it. I think the manager, Larry Schultz, is a con artist and a jerk. If Jenkins and Wynne is "obsessed with our satisfaction" maybe they should treat their customers with a little bit more respect and bite the bullet and admit they made a mistake and send me my tags without charging me another cent.

From Don Jenkins- 2 sides to every story

AUTHOR: Don jenkins - Clarksville (U.S.A.)

In regards to Beth Creglow’s complaint:

Mr. Ohlschwager, her fiancée and Ms Creglow were aware of the $1000 Ford Motor Credit Rebate. They made a bottom line offer. We told them we would do the number only if they took advantage of the Ford Motor Credit Rebate. Ford has rules about incentives. In this case, if the customer opted to take the $1000, they had to finance with Ford Motor Credit. Both agreed to take the $1000 and finance with FMC. They filled out credit applications and saw our Business Manager about the financing. The Business Office discuss the terms of the rebates and APR with FMC. Originally they discussed going with their own Credit Union. However, in order to collect the $1000, they had to finance with FMC. Because of this, they filled out the credit applications at their own will. If they were going with the Credit Union they would not have had to fill out the credit application. So, by filling out the credit ap, both Mr Ohlschwager and Ms Creglow knew the purpose of filling out the credit ap to collect the rebate.

Upfront, we told Mr. Ohlschwager and Ms Creglow that we would not process the paperwork until the government accepted and paid Jenkins & Wynne on the Cash for Clunkers. They knew when they left this was a condition of the sale. The government was not timely in paying these claims. We held the paperwork as a service to the Customer to make sure that all of the paperwork would be correct in the end. In the event that the government denied the claim, we gave the Customer the option of bringing the vehicle back. Once the vehicle is registered that would not be an option.

The Customer originally wanted to title the vehicle in both names. We told them that based on the Cash for Clunkers rules at the time (set by the government), we were only able to title it exactly as the trade-in was titled. We later got a clarification on the rules and called the Customer to add his fiancée. The State of Tennessee will only allow you to add a spouse. They are not married so adding her required us to buy new plates. This is the $50.50 difference in plates that the Customer spoke of. We were only doing what they requested- which was to put both parties on the title and registration.

We did not hang up on Ms Creglow; we tolerated her insults and slander. Mr. Ohlschwager was very profane with our Business Manager as well. We explained all the details to them every step of the way; It has been apparent that the truth is not what they wanted to hear.

Recently, Clarksville just voted us ‘Best Place to Buy a Car’ for the 9th year. In addition, Jenkins & Wynne has earned numerous Presidents’ Award for customer satisfaction in Ford-Lincoln-Mercury and Honda…voted on by customers! As it stands today, we are the #1 Ford-Lincoln-Mercury Store in TN. We are honored to serve Clarksville and the USA for 56 years and feel privileged to provide our loyal customers with excellent service.
