Warranty and servicing
One of the great things about buying a brand new car is that you know you're covered by a warranty should anything go wrong. All Ford cars come with a Ford Protect three Year/60,000 miles Ford Protect Classic Plan Warranty.
Each vehicle model will have its own schedule for servicing, which is usually every 12,500 miles for Ford cars. You won't need to worry about an MOT until your car’s three years old.
When your car is due for its service, it's important that you consider the quality of the servicing, as well as value for money. A professional service can ensure you keep your car in tip-top condition and safe to drive, which could also contribute to its resale value. Make sure you choose genuine parts as these have been specifically designed to fit your car. Unlike copy parts, they’re guaranteed to fit first time, they’re likely to be safer and they can last longer, which could save you time and money in the long run.
When you service your car at a Ford Dealer you can expect value for money, professional service and high quality genuine parts, from the only people who know your car inside out. Every single Ford technician undergoes continuous specialist training throughout their career.
Furthermore, not only does Ford carry out rigorous inspections of their own, they also invite the RAC to conduct completely independent spot checks of their work, as part of the ‘RAC Service Workshop Quality Programme’.
Other products and services offered by your Dealer are:
Ford Service Assure – spreading the cost of servicing
You can spread the cost of servicing by setting up affordable monthly direct debits, so you’ll never have to pay out for a large servicing bill in one go again. If your Dealer offers Service Assure, they can build a bespoke package that suits you, taking into account your estimated mileage and period of ownership. Service Assure plan payments are fixed for the length of the plan, meaning that they’re inflation proof and won’t be affected by any price increases during the plan term.
Premium Plan – extended protection
Ford also offers Premium Plans. These can be purchased for either two or three years, require a one-off payment and include:
- extended roadside assistance
- extended period maintenance
- a guarantee that if any warranty work cannot be completed within 24 hours and your vehicle is not usable, you’ll be entitled to a free hire vehicle for up to seven days.
With a Premium Plan, the servicing can be carried out at one of over 630 Ford Authorised Repairers in the network.
Earn Nectar points with Ford
Every time you bring your Ford in for routine servicing, repairs or even an MOT at any participating Ford Dealer, you’ll automatically collect Nectar points when you present your Nectar card. In fact, you’ll earn two Nectar points for every £1 spent and you can turn them into all kinds of treats.
If you own a second car, whatever the make, you can take it along to Rapid Fit (a fast-fit service available at some Ford Dealers) and earn points at the same rate.
You can exchange Nectar points for all sorts of treats – a magazine subscription, entry to a theme park, VUE cinema tickets, a trip on Eurostar or flights. Visit

You can personalise and enhance your car even after you've bought it. Choose from beautifully designed interior enhancements, performance bodystyling kits and practical add-ons that help you get the most from your car. Visit your Dealership to take a look at accessories, or view the catalogue
