Frequently Asked Questions About Purchasing or Selling a Vehicle at Richard Bazzy's Shults Ford

No matter the vehicle of your choosing, your Ford comes with a three-year/36,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty.[1] For the entirety of those three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, you’ll enjoy bumper-to-bumper protection against faulty or defective parts.

Broadly speaking, your warranty won’t cover damage or needed repairs caused by accidents, environmental factors, or vehicle modifications. Damage incurred from a collision, vandalism, fire, or flooding should be run through your insurance provider.

Your warranty won’t cover typical maintenance, including oil changes, tire rotations and inflation, or wear to the brake system. But a Driver Plus service plan, available from Shults Ford Harmarville, allows you to pre-pay for essential maintenance tasks and roll it into your financing costs. This helps protect you from inflation and ensures that you never have to crunch numbers to cover an oil change or inspection.

The New Vehicle Limited Warranty is just one of many that come standard with today’s Ford vehicles. To cover engines and powertrains, new Ford vehicles include a five-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Warranty for conventional vehicles. Vehicles with hybrid or electric components, including the F-150 Lightning and Explorer hybrid, offer an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for unique components. Other standard coverage includes a five-year corrosion warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile Safety Restraint Warranty.

Yes! Shults Ford Harmarville offers First Extended warranty coverage to further your sense of confidence past the factory warranty. Assurant First Extended plans come in six levels, maxing out at 12 years or 200,000 miles. For the duration of your contract, you’ll enjoy perks like 24/7 emergency roadside assistance and emergency travel expense reimbursement. You also won’t have a per-visit limit or a limit on the number of claims.

Continuous warranty coverage is contingent on you taking care of your vehicle to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If you fail to keep your vehicle up to date on maintenance, your warranty can be canceled prior to reaching full term. You can get your warranty reinstated, however, by making any necessary repairs out of pocket.

As long as there is time or mileage left under your valid warranty, it can be transferred to the next owner of the vehicle. That provides extra peace of mind if you decide to upgrade from your Ford Edge or Maverick after a few years and sell your current ride to a friend or family member. And if you’re considering a First Extended service contract, your plan is also fully transferrable.
