In an October 2025 one-star Google review of McGovern Ford of Framingham, a customer wrote: “Came in for the oil change service and the inspection sticker for my Transit they found one of the license plate bulb was not working. They asked for $120 for replacing the light bulbs and I refused because it was still working. Then they failed the inspection because of that license light. The report showed stop lights/tail lights fail which was of course not. The service advisor was not in the service mood as well when they called me. I was trying to explain but she was refusing to any response. Bad service team and mindset.”
