From routine oil changes to major engine work, unexpected auto expenses can add up fast. But drivers in Guelph have a solution: Fixed-price protection plans from Wayne Pitman Ford Lincoln.
Whether you're buying a brand-new vehicle or a certified pre-owned, you are hopeful the asset you are spending your hard-earned money on is going to last. Vehicles these days are the product of intelligent engineering, quality manufacturing, and rigorous testing.
However, all the engineering and testing in the world cannot eliminate the need for regular maintenance and potential for repairs. "Advanced technology comes at the price of complexity and, unfortunately, complexity increases risk of potential component failure," says Doug Bricknell, Operations Manager at Wayne Pitman Ford Lincoln. "Technology glitches, parts wear out, the unexpected occurs."
The best way to turn these surprises from making you want to utter exasperated expletives to expressing words of relief and gratitude, is by purchasing Extended Warranty and Pre-Paid Maintenance Plans at Wayne Pitman Ford Lincoln.
"Adding these coverages to your ownership experience is a great way to give yourself peace of mind," says Bricknell. "You don't have to worry what the bill is going to be, because you're not paying it. Think of it like an 'All-Inclusive' holiday for your vehicle. Whether it is routine items like oil changes, wiper blades, brakes, etc. or larger items like a transmission, engine, or suspension components, you are covered.
"This is not a 'fairy dust' product: a concept of buying an idea or a hope or gambling. The cost effectiveness equation is easy to understand. If you are paying today's price, for services in the future, assuming prices continue to rise (as they almost always do), you will realize savings on the future repairs and services. It is a great way to hedge against price volatility due to inflation, tariffs, and other changes in the industry that can lead to increases in the cost of parts and skilled labour. The math is there to justify the cost of these plans compared to paying as you go. Our knowledgeable Financial Services Managers, Blair and Julian, are happy to go over the numbers with you in detail to ensure that you see the value in the cost/benefit analysis."
Plus, when you service with Wayne Pitman Ford Lincoln, you will receive the high standard of quality care expected from a local, family owned and operated store. Their team of manufacturer trained and certified service advisors are knowledgeable, welcoming, and dedicated to making your experience as positive as it can be. In addition, Wayne Pitman's some "Ford Master Technicians" who have many years of experience and special additional designations, such as Hybrid, EV, Diesel Trucks, Heavy Trucks, Electrical, A/C, and more to better serve you. As a result of all this skill and Wayne Pitman Ford Lincoln's commitment to paying competitive wages, the technician's labour comes at a premium. This premium continues to rise as demand for the skill increases.
With Ford/Lincoln Protect Extended Warranty and Pre-Paid Maintenance, you receive this premium care for a fixed price that can be added to your lease, finance, or cash purchase for the equivalent of a few dollars per week. Additionally, only genuine, original manufacturers (OEM) parts are used, ensuring your vehicle maintains its factory standard quality.
Plans are easily added at time of purchase and can even be added throughout your ownership experience. Coverage is available for all eligible guests, even if you did not purchase your vehicle at Pitman's.
