Comp vehicle from ford...

[jason1320]

It says in our manuals that as SVT owners we are entitled to free rentals while our cars are being serviced under warranty. Has anyone taken ford up on this? Did the hem and haw about it? I noticed that there was an * that says "participating dealers only."

I live in the DC metro area and need some warranty work. I was just wondering if they were going to give me a rental or not.

Thanks.

I am in Houston and I got one. just tell them you need one and you are entitled to one. I think I had to pay $8.00 or something like that for some tax that is not covered, but it was not anything big and I got an explorer for a weekend.

Ford Gave me a car/truck every time I had warranty work done.
Plus they detailed my Lightning before I got it back.

I'm driving a rental now since the L is for repairs and got one 2 weeks ago from a different dealer when the Cobra was in for warranty work.
Just show them the SVT supplement...shouldn't be a problem.

My car's been in the shop for a month (long story). I'm driving a rental.

Uh huh, but it's that damned old throw out bearing and the dealership is taking their time. grrrrrrrr

Yep

Had the car for about a month now and driving my 3rd rental today, a brand new Focus. They are working on the rear end "clunk". First week I bought it thay had it for some parking lot dings and body work issues, fun part was they gave me a Chevy Cavalier and it smelled like major WEED inside. Got a Chrysler Sebring convertible for the balance of the week to compensate.

Had to drive to a dealership 270 miles away to get a loaner. The local dealership didn;t fix my car the first 2 times I took it to them, argued with me about a loaner, even though I bought an extra loaner car agreement through Ford because I knew they would do this. Just depends on the dealership. The one in Tucson offered me a loaner before I even mentioned it. Brought it home for 3 weeks while they fixed the car. :thumbsup:

Only time I've gone in for warranty work (missing an exhaust bracket on my L) they handed me the keys to a four door F-150 (new body style). I was pretty pleased...

Then came back to get the truck and it was detailed...All around good day...
