I have recently moved to FL, and I need my airbag recall done and would consider a complete service (ie. oil pump belt, etc).
This shop has been recommended in the past.
Please let me know about your experience with them.
Thanks,
Mark

One person only at Sarasota Ford. Rick Wiedenroth is the GT tech. Kenny Bateman is the service manager.

You can drive your GT directly to Rick's service bay and nobody else will touch your car.

Highly recommend Rick.

You can't go wrong with Rick. He is the only one who works on Ford GT's there. Very knowledgeable, thorough and meticulous. Sarasota Ford has also made the investment in servicing new Ford Gt's. I know first hand Rick has done clutches, oil pumps, exhausts.

There is another thread on airbags (driver's side only is available, etc...); have you decided what you are going to have done with the bags?

Rick replaced the driver side inflator. 10 minute job. Passenger side inflator still not available. Some of the affected cars may not have parts until 2020. Astonishingly, some manufacturers installed defective inflators in 2016 and 2017 models. '17 Ferrari 488 is under recall.
