GETTING THE SERVICES YOU NEED  
At home  
Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada have authorized dealerships to  
service your vehicle. It is preferred that you return to the Ford dealer  
where your vehicle was purchased when warranty repairs are needed.  
However, you may also take your vehicle to another Ford Motor  
Company or Ford of Canada dealership authorized for warranty repairs.  
Certain warranty repairs require special training though, so not all  
dealers are authorized to perform all warranty repairs. That means that  
depending on the warranty repair needed, the vehicle may need to be  
taken to another dealer. If a particular dealership can not assist you,  
then contact the Customer Relationship Center.  
If you have questions or concerns, or are unsatisfied with the service you  
are receiving, follow these steps:  
1. Contact your Sales Representative or Service Advisor at your  
selling/servicing dealership.  
2. If your inquiry or concern remains unresolved, contact the Sales  
Manager or Service Manager at the dealership.  
3. If the inquiry or concern cannot be resolved at the dealership level,  
please contact the Ford Customer Relationship Center.  
Away from home  
If you own a Ford or Mercury vehicle and are away from home when  
your vehicle needs service, or if you need more help than the dealership  
could provide, after following the steps described above, contact the
