You may wonder going into the finance office when purchasing a new Ford “are these warranties really worth it?” The short answer? Absolutely! With the unpredictability of car ownership and the crazy weather we have in the Northwest Ohio area, getting additional coverage to protect your investment seems like the easiest way to ensure the purchase you’ve made is protected. The Ford Protect Extended Service Plans offer you additional protection from whatever life may throw your way. The Ford Protect plans come in four different tears, PremiumCare, ExtraCare, BaseCare, and PowertrainCare. Depending on your budget and needs, there is always a Ford Protect plan that will be able to suit your needs. Premium Maintenance and Essential Maintenance packages are available providing ease of mind when it comes to the maintenance required in ownership of a vehicle. Premium Maintenance covers all manufacturer recommended maintenance, plus selected wear items including brake pads and spark plugs. Limited Maintenance provides coverage of lube/oil/filter, tire rotation, multi-point inspection, and diesel exhaust fluid refill at service intervals, if equipped. Basic Maintenance covers lube/oil/filter, tire rotation, and multi-point inspection. Engine Maintenance covers lube/oil/filter only. The four tears have three different deductible options at various price points, $0, $100, or $200 depending on the version of the plan you’ve selected. The Ford Protect Extended Service Plans also provide flexible payment options, allowing you to pay with 0% APR for up to 24 months. There are also additional Ford Protect Extended Service Plans that offer further protection for specifics of your vehicle. One that is always suggested for the treacherous winters we have in Northwest Ohio is TireCare. TireCare covers all costs associated with the repair or replacement of a tire or wheel due to a covered road hazard. It is impossible to know exactly what will happen, but with Ford Protect you can rest easy knowing that the investment you’ve made is protected.
