I live in Long Island, NY and I'm looking for a trusted, Ford specialist to do my regular maintenance. Any recommendations?

What could possibly go wrong using your local Ford dealer 🤔

Why a Ford 'specialist'. What you want is just a good, honest mechanic.

Only because a Ford specialist will be familiar with the common issues. Also, will know what the real service intervals are for things like PTU and Transmission.

I am lucky enough to have a very good, HONEST, and competent mechanic 6 blocks away.
AND . . . I went to school with his mother!
I keep asking for a classmate discount. Nothing so far. But it is nice to have a connection.
I love living in the boondocks.

Never heard of a Ford specialist. A good mechanic can work on all makes.

Check for ex dealership employees. I’m in CA. But you should be able to call around and find someone that has experience. Start searching ford specialist and then read yelp.
We have a shop called Knutz auto repair. Two owners worked at Folsom lake ford dealer and then opened a shop. One has extensive diesel expertise. Five star yelp too. You may have to go visit potential shops and see the vibe.

IN order to keep your warranty you have to have all work done by a certified licensed mechanic. Excluding oil changes etc.

Smithtown ford has a good service dept, although I don’t know about hybrid training. Sales department wanted $10000 over msrp. I bought down in Florida.

You might check with NAPA Auto Care. Many of their shops are Ford Certified Warranty Centers.

Good question. I’m at my local Ford dealer In Tucson for the turn signal recall and some other customer satisfaction recall. Oil change while I’m at it. Appointment made like 3 weeks ago. When I pulled up they acted like they had no clue about the recall stuff. Of course service advisor in charge of my service Is at lunch. 🙄 Thoughts and prayers please.

Thoughts and prayers won't help you, my friend. Might I suggest Valium and alcohol 🍺
