ByConsidering Investing in a Ford Maintenance Plan? Learn All About Ford Extended Warranty Refund Opportunities!
Whether you're taking your car for a regular check-up or buying a new one, your local dealer will try to get you to invest in a maintenance plan.
Buying a maintenance plan brings a lot of benefits. It saves your time and money by covering various unexpected vehicle repair costs, includes perks like roadside assistance, and it’s completely transferable if you decide to sell your vehicle.
If you are a Ford driver, you can choose between various Ford Extended Service Plans (ESPs).
Each plan can cover the same time or mileage as the others, and they all come with the same perks, but they offer different services.
As a car owner, you should know what happens if you are not happy with your plan and want to ask for a refund.
What Is Ford ESP Refund Policy?
When you purchase a Ford Extended Service plan from a licensed Ford dealer, the warranty is backed by Ford Motor Company.
The price difference between dealerships may seem odd because some offer plans at significantly lower prices. This often happens because some dealerships can offer volume pricing, which leads to lower costs.
Since Ford Motor Company approves the service plans, the refund policy is also tied to it.
Some variations may exist depending on the state you live in, but here are the general rules:
- You can cancel your ESP and get a full refund within 30 or 60 days, depending on the state you live in
- The ESP is eligible for a refund if no claims were made
- You can cancel the plan after 30 or 60 days and get a prorated refund. The amount depends on how long you have been using the plan
- Depending on your dealer, you may be charged a cancellation fee
