Questions about dealer service prices

Is Ford dealer service more expensive than Pep Boys, Mavis or Firestone?

Sometimes, and this page shows where. On the four services we post, our oil change, alignment and air filter prices sit inside the typical range at all three chains. Our front brake job ($325+ per axle) is above the typical Pep Boys and Mavis ranges and inside Firestone's. Every job gets a written quote before work starts.

Why does a dealer brake job cost more?

Our price is per axle and uses Genuine Ford or Motorcraft parts made for your vehicle, installed by a Ford-trained technician. Most Genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts carry Ford's 24-month, unlimited-mile limited warranty. Before you compare, ask any shop whether its brake price is per axle and whether rotors are included.

Can Pep Boys, Mavis or Firestone do Ford recall or warranty work?

No. Ford recall repairs and Ford warranty repairs are done at authorized Ford dealers, at no cost to you. When your Ford is here, we check the VIN for open recalls and pending software updates.

Do I have to service my Ford at a dealer to keep the warranty?

No. Federal law lets you have routine maintenance done at any shop, as long as it is done on schedule and you keep the receipts. Warranty repairs and recalls still go to a Ford dealer.

What is mobile Ford service?

A Tom's Ford technician comes to your home or office in Monmouth County and does routine work in your driveway: oil and filter, battery testing and replacement, brake pads and rotors, wipers, lighting, multi-point inspection, software updates and mobile-eligible recall work. There is no trip fee. Book at (732) 709-1144.

Does Tom's Ford pick up and drop off my vehicle?

Yes. Pickup and delivery is complimentary on qualifying service throughout Monmouth County. A Tom's Ford driver picks it up, we do the work in our shop, and we bring it back washed and vacuumed, the same day for most routine work.

Will dealer service history help my trade-in value?

It can. Service done at a Ford dealer is recorded against your VIN, and a documented history gives an appraiser less to guess about when valuing your vehicle.

What areas does Tom's Ford serve for service?

We are at 200 NJ-35 South in Keyport, just off Garden State Parkway exit 117. Mobile service and pickup cover Monmouth County, including Hazlet, Holmdel, Middletown, Aberdeen, Matawan, Red Bank, Long Branch and Freehold.
