What Services Are Included with Ford Roadside Assistance?
As long as your vehicle’s warranty is active, you’ll receive roadside assistance at no additional cost. However, once your warranty expires, you may be required to pay for services out-of-pocket or look into third-party roadside assistance programs. This is expensive and can be inconvenient. Having roadside assistance coverage means you have a centralized way to get the help you need during a roadside emergency.

If your vehicle is disabled and cannot be driven, Ford will arrange for it to be towed to the nearest authorized repair center or Ford dealership at no cost to you, as long as it’s within the terms of your coverage.

A dead battery doesn’t have to keep you stuck. Ford will dispatch a technician to jump-start your vehicle and get it running again.
