Lifetime Warranty Frequently Asked Questions

Which vehicles come with the Lifetime Limited Warranty?

Our Lifetime Warranty is included with all new vehicles.

How long does the Lifetime Limited Warranty really last?

The Lifetime Limited Warranty on your vehicle lasts the entire time you own it. In other words: unlimited time and unlimited miles.

How much will it cost?

Absolutely nothing. Why? It’s all part of our effort to develop long-term relationships with our customers based on offering added value. By offering our Lifetime Limited Warranty on every qualifying vehicle at no extra charge we’re hoping to create "Customers for Life".

Is there any extra maintenance required to maintain the warranty?

None whatsoever. All you need to do is stick to the Manufacturer's Recommended Maintenance schedule outlined in your owner's manual. It’s that simple.

Do I have to have all of my service completed at your dealership?

It’s totally up to you. While we pride ourselves on providing the best automotive maintenance the decision of where to service your vehicle is yours alone.

Where am I covered by the Lifetime Limited Warranty?

You’ll be happy to know that this warranty is good at thousands of locations in North America. So wherever you go, the Lifetime Warranty stays with you for the entire time you own your vehicle.

There has to be a catch, right?

There really isn’t one. Just like there are no additional fees or gimmicks hidden in the fine print. This is our way of thanking you for choosing us for your automotive needs. So technically speaking, the only “catch" is that you just need to buy your vehicle here at Ted Russell Ford!
