FCSD is launching a Lifetime Brake Pad Guarantee
effective July 1, 2014:
Under this program, customers purchasing a
Motorcraft brake service at a Ford or Lincoln
Dealership or Quick Lane will be provided no-cost
replacement Motorcraft brake pads for as long as
they own their vehicle.
This guarantee matches the competition. Your
advantage over the competition is the simplicity
of how the program is clearly-worded and
administered. Competitors programs can be
difficult to understand, and may lead to customer
confusion. Ford’s program is clear, concise, and
customer-driven.
Only your dealership or Quick Lane offers the
Lifetime Brake Pad Guarantee on Motorcraft brake
pad repairs backed by Ford-trained technicians,
and the nationwide Ford/Lincoln dealer network!
With the Lifetime Brake Pad Guarantee, customers
can be assured they are getting the only brake pads
designed and manufactured by Ford specifically for
their vehicle for as long as they own their vehicle.
Please note, similar to Service Part Warranty, the
marketing treatment for Ford differs from Lincoln.
HOW THE PROGAM WORKS
1. Customer purchases a complete brake service
which includes Motorcraft brake pads or shoes and
a resurfacing of rotors or replacement of Motorcraft
rotors.
• That customer gets the Lifetime Brake Pad Guarantee
for as long as they own that vehicle
2. Customer comes back to a Ford/Lincoln Dealer or
Quick Lane when they need a brake service performed
3. Repair Order charged out less cost of brake pads/
shoes
• Customer is required to pay all other costs associated
with completing a proper brake service as identified
by the technician.

Top Ten Things Passengers Do That Are Sure to Annoy Drivers
Have you ever had a passenger in your car that just drives you crazy?
Well I am sure we have all experienced this at some point. Below are
the top 10 things passengers do to drive drivers crazy.
10. Playing with the radio.
It drives me absolutely bonkers when you have a passenger in your
car who can’t find a radio station to stay on. They change the station
midway through a song or they just keep tuning through all of the
stations over and over again. Passengers, please leave the radio alone!
9. Asking are we there yet?
I have not had many adult passengers ask this question. However,
this is the go-to question for any kid. It is tolerable the first time it is
asked. However, once this question is asked it will be asked again, and
again, and again.
8. Giving directions.
Have you ever had a passenger who knows the
“best” or the “quickest” route to take? This is
sure to irk any driver. Passengers, unless the
driver asks for directions, none should be given.
“The one thing you shouldn't do is try to tell a
cab driver how to get somewhere.”

7. Using an imaginary brake pedal.
I’ve had passengers in the car that may not have
confidence in my stopping ability. When coming to a sudden stop they
will help out by using their imaginary brake pedal on the passenger
side of the vehicle. Passenger’s, even if the driver fails to stop, your
imaginary brake isn’t doing anything.
6. Eating in the car.
This is sure to happen after you have just vacuumed in interior of your
vehicle. Crackers, cookies, cakes and anything crumbly are the worst.
Passengers, you will be sure to set off your driver by leaving crumbs
Service hours are 7AM-Midnight Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM on Saturday.
Quicklane is open from 5AM-Midnight Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM on Saturday

and perhaps a wrapper from your left over food in the seat of their car
once they drop you off.
5. Changing the climate control.
The passenger’s comfort should be sec ondary to the driver’s. The
driver is in the position of responsibility. It is their job to get the
passenger’s safely to their destination. So, it would make sense to
make sure that they are the comfortable ones. Passengers, if you feel
that you must change the temperature please ask the driver.
4. Putting feet on the dash.
This goes back to what most of us are taught as children. Don’t put
your feet on the furniture! It is disrespectful for a passenger to put
their feet on someone’s nicely detailed dashboard.
3. Slamming the door.
There really is not a need to slam the car door.
It will shut just fine with a slight pull. I have had
passengers slam the car door so hard that I can
actually feel the jarring in my head. Not only
does it result in a headache it can’t be good on
the vehicle.
2. Not offering any gas money.
Have you ever driven someone all around
town and they fail to offer to help out with gas
money? Passengers who hitch a ride regularly
or for long distances should at least offer some cash to go towards
gas expense.
1. Breaking wind.
Now, this goes without saying. But, I will say it anyway. Being that
vehicles are such a confined space, any bodily functions should be left
for the bathroom or the outdoors.
