Exclamation Jax FL Ford Mechanics?

Anyone have a reliable Ford mechanic in Jacksonville (preferably closest to the beaches) that does service/repair? I'd like to not use Coggin Ford and I don't have the time/tools to do that stuff myself.

Any thoughts are welcome! Thanks!

I feel you, I will not go to Coggin Ford either, Autonation Ford on Phillips and Southside are ok but I’ve been using Bozard in St Augustine right off 95 for my service lately.
ive been through all the local dealers, and Bozard has been the best so far, but I’ve only needed basic maintenance done, nothing major yet. They were super nice about having to deal with my RTR skid plate doing an oil change. There is no access panel in the plate to make getting to the filter easier. I told them they could charge me a extra half hour if need be to compensate for the techs time. Said it was not a big deal, just wanted me to know it was going to take a littler longer than expected. Tech decided to get to the filter from the engine bay, I watched and he did spill some oil on the skid plate, tech took it back to the detail and made sure it was all cleaned off before I got it back (I know this because I watched him do it) so I figured that’s worth taking my truck there.

Interesting. Ya that's a little far for me, but I'll keep that in mind.

Someone else has got to have some more input!

Noted, thanks.

Really looking for an independent shop that specializes in Fords.

A-Ford-Able in St Augustine. I have never used them but know peeps who have and they get good marks. Maybe a little far for you.

Mavis in Bartram Park has a solid and very honest manager by the name of Nick. He will hook you up where he can.
