Looking for a reputable Ford Service that has demonstrated experience with Ford Performance. Specifically for GT350. I bought mine out of state and know my local dealer is not where I will take the car for any warranty work.

If you can recommend positive or negative I would appreciate the help. I have made a few calls but would like a personal based opinion.

I don't have any experience with their service but I've seen Koons Ford sell several GT350s and they have a ton of mustangs on the lot so in terms of experience they are probably a good choice

Koon's Ford of Silver Spring has done service on my car but I don't have a lot of experience with them. They sell a lot of Mustangs and GT350s.

I recently bought a GT from them, then about a month ago went in to purchase another car. I also wanted them to install the power pack 3 at that time on my GT. The service tech didn't know what the power pack 3 was, then insisted that it wasn't a genuine Ford part, even after I pulled it up on their website. Once they finally figured out that it was a Ford part, they wanted to charge me $1000 for the install on what is a 2.5 hour job according to their own manual. I won't say to stay away, but I will never be taking my car there.

That's exactly what I said haha. It was the one up near Baltimore, so not the one in Silver Spring.
I bought my GT from the one in Baltimore even though I live closer to the one in Silver Spring because they gave me a better deal lol. The 350 IM took me 6 hours in my garage with JDM's instruction kit. I'm sure they could do it a lot quicker though. That was my first time installing anything like that.

Yeah, you definitely can't beat their deals for buying. Not too sure about service though haha.

Yep, I wound up installing the PP3 in a friend's garage. Overall it took us about 4 hours with no instructions, but we sure had a hell of a time getting the brake booster back in properly.

Could you take a picture of how the vacuum lines are? I'm about to tackle the install soon but don't have any instructions. Did your PP3 come with any?

Shoot me a message with your email and I'll forward you the instructions. They aren't complete yet since the PP3 isn't released still, but I'll send you what I got from FRPP.

Thanks. I got in touch with Koons in Annapolis. The svc manager said the right things, but I will see how it goes.

Not sure where to post this because I'm new to the forums.
I have some bolt on parts I'm about to install in my 16 GT ( intake, exhaust,suspension parts) is there a dealership in or near Baltimore that won't give me a fit about the boltons?
