3 Benefits of Working With a Dealership-Trained Ford Mechanic

If your Ford needs any repairs, you’re immediately confronted with the choice of where to go for the repairs. An online search will locate numerous repair shops that say they can do a good job. When it comes down to making a decision, you want to make the right choice. As your Ford dealership in Riverside, CA, we’d like to tell you why you need a Ford mechanic.

Ford Training

All of our technicians have extensive training even before they join us. Once they’re a part of Ford, our technicians undergo a thorough training program in the complete range of Ford vehicles. This extensive knowledge makes our technicians experts in all possible repairs your Ford might need. This training is supplemented by additional courses on new features and models.

If you choose an independent mechanic, they will be trained but they won’t have specialist knowledge. General mechanics are trained to work on a wide variety of makes and models. They aren’t, however, trained in the nuances of our Ford vehicles. This lack of specialist training will show in longer repair times and possible misdiagnosis of a specialist repair.

Ford Experience

Once our technician’s training is complete, they focus on the entire range of Ford vehicles. They undertake any repairs on the various Ford models daily. The wealth of practical experience they build up allows them to work faster and easier as they have full confidence in their abilities. Practical experience also allows our technicians to spot potential problems that may occur.

A regular mechanic will also have a store of practical experience, but this experience is more general. Regular mechanics work on many different vehicles. This variety, however, doesn’t make them faster at finding or repairing problems. They will be slower as they have less experience working with Ford vehicles. In addition, a general mechanic is less likely to foresee a problem due to a lack of experience.

Ford Parts

Our technicians only use Ford parts. These parts are manufactured to a known standard and are identical to your car’s original parts. Each of the parts is manufactured in the same factory that built your Ford. Ford parts carry a warranty that attests to their quality, longevity, and high standard. We also provide a warranty on all our repair work. These warranties provide peace of mind that a repair has been completed correctly.

General mechanics don’t usually use genuine Ford parts. They are more likely to use generic substitute parts as these are easier and cheaper for them to acquire. A generic part isn’t specifically designed for your car, and this can potentially cause problems with a repair. Generic parts may not fit as perfectly as original parts, and they won’t work or last as long.

When you need a repair, both you and your Ford deserve the best. Call our service department at Fritts Ford. Our Ford-trained technicians will take care of all your repair needs.
