About your Taurus
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.0L 6-cylinder. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Under the hood: the 3.0L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
What to send us
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
A rental while you wait
We collect the rental when your car is back. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Talking to the shop
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Between shop visits
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
