Modern Tech, Modern Problems: Covered with Ford Protect

Today’s Ford vehicles are more connected than ever. With touchscreen infotainment systems, advanced driver-assist features, and digital clusters, the average vehicle has more electronics than some laptops. While these features boost safety and convenience, they also bring new challenges when it comes to costly, unexpected repairs.

That’s where Ford Protect comes in. Whether you’ve purchased a new Ford or opted for a Ford Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle, Ford Protect offers peace of mind by covering common tech failures that standard warranties might not.

In this blog, we’ll break down how Ford Protect can save you money on repairs, especially when buying a CPO model, and how easy it is to extend your protection through Granger Ford.
