Ensure strict adherence to all Ford warranty policies and procedures.

Experience:

Proven Diagnostic Track Record: Demonstrated ability to accurately diagnose and resolve complex, challenging vehicle issues.
Mastery of Ford Diagnostic Tools: Expert proficiency with Ford-specific diagnostic software (e.g., IDS/FDRS, VCMM, VMM) and diagnostic procedures.
