That's why our team is here to answer questions and address concerns regarding our vast selection of Genuine Ford Parts, OE components, and accessories. If you don't see a suitable response below, feel free to get in touch with us online, over the phone, or in person.

Why should I buy OEM components?

OEM components are crafted using the same technical data that went into producing your vehicle, which means they meet or exceed factory specifications for longevity, comfort, and performance. In addition, many OEM components come with a manufacturer warranty to keep you protected from defects in material or workmanship.

What warranty coverage comes with Ford parts?

Most Genuine Ford and Motorcraft OE components come with a 24-month/Unlimited-mile General Limited Warranty when installed by a certified installer or fleet. Other components, like batteries, transmissions, light-duty diesel engines, spark plugs, and shocks, come with different warranty coverage terms that our parts team can provide.

What parts are the most expensive to replace?

Some of the most expensive vehicle components to replace include engine, transmission, and electrical components. Vehicle repair estimates are heavily based on labor, which varies depending on the severity.

How do I choose between OEM and aftermarket components?

While we stress the importance of OEM components, there are some brands that produce quality aftermarket components that meet manufacturer standards. Choosing between OEM and aftermarket components comes down to how often you're willing to perform service, the quality of said parts, and if your vehicle is still under warranty coverage.

Can I bring my own parts to Hillsboro Ford?

At Hillsboro Ford, we recommend that owners and operators purchase quality components from our parts center so we can provide comprehensive warranty coverage. We encourage contacting our service center advisors for additional information about which components can be customer-supplied.

What is a refurbished or remanufactured auto part?

Refurbished auto parts are older components that have been cosmetically restored to new condition, while remanufactured or rebuilt components have been repaired to meet manufacturer standards.

What do I do with old or defective auto parts?

Old and defective auto parts should be disposed of in accordance with state or local laws. Items, like used engine oil and oil filters, can be dropped off at many auto parts stores, while batteries often come with a core fee that is waived when exchanged. If your vehicle is being serviced by our certified technicians near Newton, KS, we'll properly dispose of old or defective components.

Does Hillsboro Ford install aftermarket parts?

Due to liability and warranty concerns, Hillsboro Ford does not allow aftermarket parts to be installed on customer vehicles. However, those looking to improve the style, functionality, or capability of their vehicle are encouraged to explore our selection of Genuine Ford Accessories and Ford Performance Parts.

Where can I buy new Ford parts?

New Ford parts can be purchased over the phone by contacting our Parts Department, online through our parts request form, or in person at our dealership.

Should I consider used parts for my vehicle?

Typically, we recommend that only new and genuine components are used to maintain safety, reliability, and performance. However, used components such as exterior or interior parts can be used to save money and refresh your well-used vehicle.
