Mod Friendly Dealers

[imported_JacobK]

My buddy asked me to post this for him, im sure he will chime in when he sees this. But he is looking for any mod friendly dealers in the chicagoland area. I thought i heard Sutton Ford was a very mod friendly dealer. He wants to pulley it, and he has an intake and exhaust, so if anyone can chime in it would be appreciated, thanks

My buddy has had pretty good luck with Arlington Hts. He's got an Pullied 04 Cobra with a 7 year warranty. if he goes in for warranty work they will tell him weather or not he has to change the car to stock before they work on it. And they have some SVT tech that do side work.

thanks jake for posting that, and thanks Stangfreak91 for replyin, i really want to mod her, but i will not take the chance of voiding my warranty, i need to know if there is a sure dealership that is mod friendly 100%

Since Ford is known to monitor the internet I don't think it's a good idea to post dealers names who work with us...

im not tryin to get anyone in any type of trouble, im sorry if anyone was offended

 

[JeffsLightning]

Everything is cool.. I know for a fact that Ford looks at the internet and I don't want any friendly dealers getting hassled...

The guy I bought my GT and Cobra from lives behind me and works at Woodfield Ford. My Differental Cover was cracked. I took it into the dealer and the took care of me. Not one question asked. they were just afraid to touch the car(with all the parts I had on it Not that many to me ) You could try your luck there.

mod friend

These ford dealers such as Sutton will be mod friendly
just to install the parts and take your money.
But if something goes wrong you have no warrenty and they
will not stand behind there work. So then your in your own
to fit the bill all they want is your money plain and simple.
There really is no need to spend the extra money to have
them do mechanical work just pay them to tune it. Then
find an outside source such as Deans perf-or Rush Racing
to do your r and r work to save a ton of money!!
And I am speaking from personal experiance :cool2:

Bought my truck from Wickstrom... Only thing it had done was the exhaust. They are very nice over there...

There is no such thing as a mod friendly dealer 100% of the time. The reason is it's not the dealers final call to approve or disappprove the warranty. Ford reserves the right to do that. At anytime if Ford feels for some reason they question a warranty claim they will send an engineer out and have him check the car. A dealer is not going to risk their dealership because some guy modded his car and then is pissed he can't get it warrantied.

Well put. When I bought my lightning I asked the question of me changing some things. They said they understand that L's are bought by people who want to change things but if it's a mod that caused the problem, then you've got a problem. It's all up to the dealer though.
