The Ford Ranger Receives Highest Initial Quality Award

When your Ford vehicle needs a new part, there are two options available to you. You opt for aftermarket parts from your local mechanic shop, or, you can choose to go with a more trusted and reliable source of Ford parts that your authorized Ford dealership provides. The parts supplied by your dealership are known as Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts and come with many benefits that as a Ford owner, should strongly consider. more Quality Assurance When you buy OEM parts from Ford it ensures you're getting parts that are certified and built to last. They also come with verified warranties because Ford stands by the products they make. Aftermarket parts often don't come with a warranty or quality assurance, and when they break sooner than expected, no one is accountable for it, which costs you more money in the long run. Your Ford dealership has one goal: to keep you out of the service center and enjoying your driving experience. Honesty and No Upselling It's happened to us all at one point or another. You bring your vehicle into a random shop to replace your brakes, and the next thing you know, there are a bunch of other parts that need immediate replacing. When you buy your auto parts at your local Ford dealership, there is no unnecessary upsell. The specialized Ford technicians will give you an honest assessment of your vehicle and only recommend replacing the parts that need to be replaced. Convenience and Comfort Bringing your car in for service used to be a dreaded chore, but those days have long passed. Part of what makes the experience of buying your parts at Ford so great is the level of comfort they provide while your vehicle is being serviced. As a loyal Ford customer, you'll have access to a waiting area that is equipped with comfortable seating, HDTVs, and a great Wi-Fi connection. There's also a pot of complimentary freshly brewed coffee for you to enjoy.

No matter whether you're getting an oil change or changing a fan belt, trusting your Ford in the hands of the technicians who are trained to fix it is your best option.
