Mercury dealership. The Ford Motor Company Trained Technicians who work at Ford, Lincoln or Mercury

A proper repair begins with a thorough system check. Factory Authorized Systems Checks can ONLY be
found at a Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership. In some circumstances, the Technician may need to request
your authorization to perform additional operations to determine the final diagnosis. The Technician’s
goal is to ensure that your vehicle is fixed right the first time, at the best value to you.

specifications are used. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft branded parts meet these specifications. You can find
