Ford Adds Parts to Collision Truckload Program

Ford Motor Company’s Ford Customer Service Division (FCSD) is continuing to drive down the cost of collision repairs by adding 45 new parts to its “Truckload Program” which offers deep discounts to Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealers and repair shops that purchase in bulk quantities.

More than 360 popular collision repair parts are part of the program. The 45 new parts, including grilles, fascias, mirrors, exterior lights, and steel bumpers, are available at discounts of as much as 22 percent off list prices.

“The program improves with additional product and features each year,” said George Gilbert, Truckload Program manager for FCSD. “The feedback from our dealers, repairers, and insurers enables us to continually help reduce repair cycle time and lower overall collision repair costs.”

The list price reductions, in combination with reduced packaging costs, are passed on to all collision repair shops that purchase the high-volume truckload parts through participating Ford, Lincoln and Mercury dealers.
