The Problem
Most stores never file. The ones that do often file badly, get denied, and in many states cannot try again for a year.
The submission is a set of paid customer-pay repair orders that demonstrate the rate. Which orders qualify, which lines must be excluded, and how many are needed all vary by state. Get the exclusions wrong and the whole submission is denied.
Ford keeps paying the rate it pays today, on every warranty claim the store files.
Denied, and in many states the store cannot try again for a year.
Which orders qualify, which lines are excluded and how many are needed. We confirm yours before any work starts.
The Process
You send us your closed customer-pay repair orders.
We work out the effective labor rate and parts markup they show.
We identify the lines your state excludes - maintenance, menu and discounted work, internal, fleet - and leave them out.
We build the submission and follow it through Ford's review.
What It Is Worth
Ford's approval applies going forward, on every warranty claim the store files. A rate increase is not a one-time recovery - it is a higher rate on everything after.
The effective labor rate your paid customer-pay repair orders demonstrate.
The parts markup the same repair orders show.
The approved rate applies to every warranty claim filed afterwards.
