They were one of the most brazen and shameless markup companies last year too. I’ve avoided buying parts from them too.

So I ordered the Aeroskin II hood deflector from GetOEMparts.com for a great price of $68. They billed me $160. $83 for shipping! I called and they told me that is what shipping costs. I immediately cancelled and got a refund. Went with the next best price of $74. With tax and shipping $96. Guess who GetOEMparts.com is part of? You guessed it the Tasca Group!

Good to know.

I’ve ordered parts multiple times from Tasca Ford and never had an issue. That said, I’ve never ordered online or dealt with shipping costs… always ordered and picked up at the local Tasca Ford dealer in Berlin, CT. They don’t always have the best prices, but since they have multiple dealers all throughout the northeast it’s rare they don’t have a part you need. Makes them good for those “I need it tomorrow” situations.

Never bought a vehicle from them though and have no reason to as long as my preferred dealer (Monaco Ford) sticks around.

This is so sad to see. I am from RI and bought my first Explorer from Tasca in '95. At the time, Bob Tasca Sr. was still at the dealership and I saw him every time I went. They had a service department that worked with my schedule since they were open until midnight 5 or six days a week. He passed away in 2010 and it seems like the family has desecrated his legacy. Afterall, he wrote the book on customer service and started the Quality is Job #1 program.

Not the same dealership today.

I've tried to buy a Bronco (base model, 2.7, 4 door) from Tasca about a month and a half ago. Found it online, placed a request for a price check, a rep got back to me saying that its available and I can get a financing through them. They sent me a financing request application, which was filled in by them with a financing request for a car for $40k. So, assuming its just a pre-approval to check what the percent is going to be, I've consented and got an estimate of a 9% APR for a 48 * month loan with a credit score of 800+. I thought that the rate was too high and decided to try Chase (had them finance my previous vehicle) and got a 6% financing. As soon as I got in touch with Tasca to inform them I've got a better deal, they asked me if the car I inquired about is a Badlands edition for $50+k. When I told them that it was the base model, it suddenly became unavailable because it sold a week ago. I then proceeded to ask the rep why would they send a prefilled application for $40k if they're trying to sell a car that has a pricetag of 50+k, and if they expected me to just show up with an extra 10k in my pocket and why did my credit score went down by 6 points when they told me it's a *soft* inquiry (it's not supposed to affect credit score). The rep apologized for the confusion with the car and told me that the credit score drop is probably from Chase since they make a "soft" inquiry and its not supposed to affect credit score.

It only gets better from here.
I've checked my credit report only to find out it was from Ford. I called back, the rep couldn't answer that question and had to redirect me to their manager. So, the manager once again apologized and then told me that the car displays on the website because it was sold a week ago but they're displaying it due to an error, and that their payment provider has sent out the application for a $40k car by mistake and that they don't even sell cars at MSRP. He also promised that he would get the credit check fixed and I have nothing to worry about.
I basically just gave up and decided to settle on them fixing my credit, but month and a half later it still displays on my report.
I mean, it could all just be a series of unfortunate events, but seeing other posts I am kinda starting to doubt it...

Ended up going to the local dealer and ordering a Big Bend, which will cost me only a few hundred extra as a fee over MSRP. So, there is a happy ending in this story.

I have found that a ton of dealers within a 150 mile radius of me in CT advertise one number and then it's marked up $5-15K or they put on worthless dealer add ons and pump the price up. I was able to pick up a 2 door Big Ben for msrp from a dealership in bronx today though.

Tasca...$10,000 ADM applied to any Bronco on the lot. I ended up at a small, local Ford dealer who, so far, has been excellent. Ordered one Mar 27 when the order banks opened again. My build date is May 26th. Worth the wait to walk away from Tasca.

They are well known, in the state, as being one of the most dishonest and shady dealerships around. Stay away!!
