Why Ford Certified Means You’re Covered

Posted on November 9, 2015 by admin

When you buy a pre-owned certified Ford from Johnson Brothers Ford, you know you’re covered and can depend on the certified vehicle you chose. We perform a 172-point inspection on every vehicle that we certify and if it doesn’t pass, we replace or repair the items that fail the inspection. In addition to the inspection, every used Ford comes with a vehicle history report, 24-hour roadside assistance, a comprehensive limited warranty coverage and powertrain limited warranty.

172-Point Inspection

If any vehicle does not pass the inspection, it does not get certified. And the items that do not pass are repaired or replaced, including components under the hood, any hybrid components, underbody components, and interior and exterior components. Additional features of the inspection include a vehicle history, road test, diagnostics and convenience.

Warranty Coverage

A 12-month, 12,000-miles comprehensive limited warranty that covers over 500 components comes with every Ford certified pre-owned vehicle. The warranty is effective from the expiration of the bumper-to-bumper warranty that comes with the vehicle when it is new or the date of purchase of the pre-owned vehicle. In addition, you’ll get a 7-year, 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty.

24-Hour Roadside Assistance

When you purchase a certified pre-owned vehicle, you’ll get a complimentary 24-hour roadside assistance plan. Available services include towing assistance for up to $100, travel expense reimbursements for up to $500 when the breakdown occurs more than 100 miles from home, rental car reimbursement for up to $30 per day for up to five days and more. See your salesperson for complete details and restrictions.

Vehicle History Report

The vehicle history report is a complete report about your vehicle. The Ford model you choose must be less than six years old in order to be certified; and it cannot have more than 80,000 miles on the odometer. The report is run by an independent third party to ensure that the vehicle does met our strict standards, and is part of the 172-point inspection.

If you have never driven a Ford from your Johnson Brothers Ford dealer, then you have no idea what you are missing out on. Many people have made the switch from other vehicle manufacturers to the beauty that is Ford. There are dozens of reasons why. There are several different options of vehicles to choose from when you make the switch. Whether you are looking for a great family-styled SUV like the Escape or a heavy-duty towing truck like the F150, we have it all.

Every new 2014 model has something that the previous version does not. A lot of the newer Fords are integrating the MyFord Sync system which allows you to connect instantly via Bluetooth to your car’s navigation and voice-activation system. The touch-screen that you use for the Sync system is large and easy to use in all vehicles.

There have been people switching from Honda, Acura and even Dodge. All are more than satisfied with the technology, performance and quality that Ford vehicles have given them. For instance, one family wanted a hybrid vehicle and automatically purchased a Toyota Prius. They were not happy with what it offered and switched to a Ford C-Max. They are so much more satisfied with this choice and love the technology features such as the entertainment system, heated seats and easyfuel capless fuel filler.

Other models people have switched to include the Fiesta, Fusion, Focus and Escape. Come in and test drive any of these fabulous vehicles and see for yourself firsthand why more people are making the switch to Ford. Once you get behind the wheel of one, you will never turn back.

See what we can do for you. Come in today and visit your local Temple Ford dealer. There are several incentives and offers being advertised to help get you in the perfect Ford for you and your family. We are always standing by and ready to assist you in buying the only brand you will ever need.

Decorating Your Ford

Posted on December 16, 2013 by admin

Ford drivers spend a lot of time in their vehicles. It’s only natural for Christmas decorations to be at the top of the list of must-do’s for the season. Here are some great ways to decorate your Johnson Brothers Ford car or truck for this festive time of year.

The most important part of decorating is the lights. You have a range of options from LED light strings to neon installations. Both trucks and cars will be sporting some form of Christmas cheer with lights. You can arrange a small string of lights across the top of the back window to an entire rope of lights lining the bed of your truck. Make sure to know what is safe and what’s legal. Check with your city and state before lighting up your truck or car this Christmas.

Decals make for a temporary and easy way to add some Christmas spirit to your vehicle. They are easy to apply and simply peel off when the season is over. Many retailers sell different shapes and sizes. You can find everything from candy canes to assorted Christmas figures. Apply these to your hood, doors, and windows.

Many Christmas spirited motorists go that extra mile by decorating their dashboards. You can place stuffed animals on your dashboard with some fake cotton snow. Just make sure to be safe and that all the decorations do not interfere with your visibility while driving.

You might also consider placing some holly and ivy in or on your car. These can be easily added to the interior without interfering with your visibility. Or place a holiday wreath on the front grill. Just make sure it’s secure, you don’t want it to come loose while driving.

A lot of people enjoy the idea of placing car antlers in the windows and a big red nose on the front. Turning your vehicle into Rudolph is simple and fun to do. Again, just make sure everything is properly secure.

Don’t forget to make your favorite holiday music play list to help get in the spirit. Adding a pine scented air freshener will also help with the overall holiday ambiance this season.

We hope you’ve enjoyed these helpful decorating ideas from your Johnson Brothers Ford dealership. Have a fun and safe holiday season.

Ford’s Pre-Certified Program

Posted on September 17, 2013 by admin

At Johnson Brothers Ford, we aim to give the public the very best in the used cars we put out on our lot.

When you purchase a pre-owned certified vehicle from us, you are buying peace of mind. With that, you also receive a free copy of the vehicle’s history report and powertrain and comprehensive limited warranty coverage. Let’s take a look at what each area that we check covers.

If a car, truck, SUV or any other vehicle we test with the 172-point inspection doesn’t pass, we will not certify it. It’s that simple. Anything that we test that does not meet the strict criteria is either repaired or replaced. We check everything including; the vehicle’s history, under the hood, perform a road test, any hybrid components, we inspect both the interior and exterior of the vehicle, check the under body and run a comprehensive diagnostic on the vehicle.

Every pre-owned certified Ford comes with a 12 month/12,000 mile comprehensive limited warranty. The warranty mentioned includes protection of over 500 parts. The following list is just a small sample; the engine, brakes, steering, transmission, electrical repairs, emissions, Ford audio, air conditioning and heating, front and rear suspension and lots more. You also receive a 7 year/100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty.

The need for roadside assistance is rare but does happen. In the event you need help or are stranded, simply dial the provided 800 number. They are able to assist you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. This service is complimentary after purchasing one of our fine certified pre-owned vehicles. A short list of services they provide are as follows; towing assistance, rental car reimbursement, fuel delivery, flat tire change, jump starting and lockout assistance. They provide their services for all of the United States and Canada.

As previously mentioned, you automatically are presented with the vehicle’s history report. You will be able to see any information about the vehicle that has been reported. All of the vehicles considered here before being certified are less than 6 years old with less than 80,000 miles on the odometer.
