Your Mercury comes with an original 3 years or 36,000 miles factory warranty. This basic warranty provides bumper to bumper coverage for your vehicle, but keep in mind that it only covers you while the parts and components of your Mercury are still near new. Your Mercury warranty does not cover you as your vehicle ages and is more prone to mechanical failure. Because Mercury does not offer an extended powertrain warranty, it is smart to invest in an extended warranty of your own. If you opt not to get an extended warranty and you drive more than 12,000 miles per year on average, then you could be faced with expensive repairs sooner than you think.

Your Mercury owner's manual is the best source of maintenance information. A list of maintenance services and the intervals at which they should be performed is a part of every owner's manual. Failure to perform regular maintenance on your vehicle could void your Mercury warranty; so be sure to keep a record of all your repairs. Spending small amounts of money on regular maintenance will prevent the need for repairs at a later point in time.
A franchised Mercury dealership should be utilized for all repairs if possible. This is to ensure that your warranty is kept intact. Warranty parts can be used or refurbished if deemed appropriate by the service technician. Understand the repairs that your mechanic is making and make a note of all of them for warranty purposes.
Before installing any aftermarket parts or accessories, review all warranty documentation provided by Mercury. If a component failure occurs as a result of an aftermarket part, the warranty will not cover the failed component. Aftermarket parts include alarms, radios, exhaust accessories, etc.
You may want to consider a factory backed plan. Factory backed warranties are usually more expensive then those from independant providers and your choices of repair facility may be limited. A good source for a Mercury
extended warranty is www.fordwarrantys.com. Compare our pricing with Ford backed plans.
