Ford GT Dealership Requirements - Rumored

Dealers Will Have To Go Through Hell To Service The New Ford GT

Quote:

Then there are the really serious repair jobs, like body work, major powertrain rebuilds, and fixes that require “splitting the back half of the car from the main vehicle tub assembly.” Those jobs, called “Group 3" repairs, will require the car to be transported to a Multimatic repair facility.

Clearly, fixing these things isn’t exactly straightforward.

But that’s not all. In addition to the approximately $30,000 that they’ll have to spend on a trailer, All Ford Mustangs says certified dealerships also need to spend approximately $1,500 on four GoJak 4520 wheel lift dollies (to lift the carbon-fiber monocoque) and about $700 on a transmission jack adapter.

On top of all of the money they have to spend and all of the provisions they need to make in their shops in order to service the GT, Ford dealers will also have to have someone on their management team who is “directly reachable at all times should they be required to receive the car after hours and store it inside the building for the sake of safety.”

Though I see it being hell for the dealerships, corporate is marketing the Ford GT to be one a kind in both product and service.

If I'm fortunate enough to afford a Ford GT, I wouldn't want my car getting mixed up with service advisers and mechanics that have not earned the privilege to touch one. Glad Ford is making dealership go through hell (actually the requirements sound reasonable to me).

Best of the best from Ford deserves a dealership that can deliver the after-sale services, so nothing like this happens
