As a part time resident of Ft Myers I’ve had to use this dealership on two occasions. In both instances I have been overwhelmed with how courteous the employees are and how caring they are of your problem. Today I noticed the flap, that covers where a trailer hitch should go, was loose and hanging. I drove to Val Ward and showed them the problem and I’m about 5 minutes it was fixed and I was on my way. Thanks for such great service.
