FAQs
Are batteries covered under the Ford maintenance plan?
The maintenance plans offered by Ford don't include any battery work, although the technician inspecting your vehicle may notice battery-related issues during their inspection. Any repair or replacement service needed on your vehicle's battery is typically paid out of the driver's pocket. Thankfully battery services are typically less expensive than many other repairs. Check with our dealership about your vehicle's warranty and inquire about battery service coverage.
Is battery service necessary?
If you notice strange odors or debris on the battery terminals, it’s time for battery service. Corrosion can clog the battery terminals and connectors. When corrosion builds up, the motor may not be able to draw current from the battery, thus preventing the vehicle from starting. Getting an inspection will prevent this from becoming an issue.
How often should a battery be serviced?
Typically, it’s recommended to service a car battery every 6,000 miles, or twice a year. However, factors such as driving habits, weather conditions, and the battery’s age can affect the functionality of the battery. Check with our service center to get a full battery service.
