Borgman Ford is dedicated to giving you the best protection for your new purchase. With Ford’s Extended Warranty options, you can extend the service contract that ensures you’re covered for repairs after the factory warranty expires. While sold separately, an extended warranty adds years and miles to your initial service contract. It protects your new purchase for longer in the case of manufacturer repair or replacement.
Things to Consider Before Purchasing a Protect Warranty
Is the cost of the plan less than the potential projected repairs? The best way to see if a service contract is financially fit for you is to map out the cost of a service contract and a projected vehicle repair expense based off of a reliable information source such as Edmonds or Consumer Reports. Comparing these can give you a good idea of if the investment if worth more than the risk of part repair or replacement. Typically, high repair costs depend on the robustness of technological reliance and powertrain performance.
You also have the choice between a third party warranty and a Ford factory-backed warranty. While there third party may offer a more affordable price, the factory-backed warranty will ensure optimal coverage and protection. Ford 100% backs their Extended Service Plans as the most reliable coverage because of the guarantee of Ford authorized parts and certified technicians.
Which extended service plan is right for you? Ford offers four main plans: PremiumCare, the most comprehensive service contract coverage of over 1000+ parts covered; ExtraCare, which is fit for vehicles with less high-tech components; BaseCare, which covers the main operational systems that impact drivability; and PowertrainCare, which covers the super critical foundational items: the engine and transmission. All of Ford’s protection plans have dealer support across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, making it easy to find a repairer wherever you are. Depending on your desired care or the cost of repair for some of the more technical components, one of our knowledgeable Borgman Ford representatives can help you choose the plan that’s best fit for your new vehicle.
In summary, if you’re worried about extreme out of pocket costs or you’re purchasing the latest top-of-the-line tech vehicle that may require specialized service, it’s a great idea to look at Ford’s premium plans; and if those categories don’t include you, Ford’s Extra or Base care plans are great to keep maintenance costs at a minimum and keep you protected in major malfunction emergencies.
