Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our Ford service department in Arlington, Wisconsin.
How often should I service my Ford?
Ford recommends service every 5,000–7,500 miles depending on your model and driving conditions. Our technicians follow Ford’s factory maintenance schedule to protect your warranty and keep your vehicle running at peak performance. We’ll provide a complete service timeline based on your specific Ford model during your appointment.
Do you use OEM Ford parts or aftermarket parts?
We exclusively use genuine Ford OEM parts for all repairs and maintenance. OEM parts are engineered specifically for your Ford, ensuring perfect fit, optimal performance, and warranty protection. While aftermarket parts may be cheaper, they can void your warranty and compromise safety.
How long does a typical oil change take?
Most oil changes at Bell Ford take 30–45 minutes. However, we also perform a complimentary multi-point inspection during every oil change, which helps us catch potential issues early. If you need faster service, we offer express appointments during off-peak hours.
Do you service Ford diesel trucks like the Super Duty?
Absolutely! We have Ford-certified diesel technicians on staff who specialize in Power Stroke diesel engines. Our team services F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty trucks, including diesel-specific maintenance like fuel filter replacement, DEF system service, and diesel diagnostics. We also service commercial diesel fleets.
Can I wait while my vehicle is being serviced?
Yes! We have a comfortable customer lounge with complimentary WiFi, coffee, and refreshments. For longer repairs, we also offer complimentary loaner vehicles (subject to availability) and our complimentary pickup & delivery service so you don’t have to wait at all.
Do you work on brands other than Ford?
While we specialize in Ford vehicles, our Master Technicians are equipped to service all makes and models. However, our Ford-specific training, equipment, and access to OEM parts make us the best choice for Ford owners in South-Central Wisconsin.
What’s covered under my Ford warranty?
Ford’s Basic Warranty covers 3 years/36,000 miles, and the Powertrain Warranty covers 5 years/60,000 miles. Warranty coverage includes repairs for defects in materials or workmanship. Regular maintenance at an authorized Ford dealer like Bell Ford is required to maintain warranty coverage. We’ll verify your specific warranty coverage during your service appointment.
What are your service department hours?
Our service department is open Monday–Friday, 7:30am–4:30pm. The service department is closed on Saturday and Sunday. Our dealership sales floor is open Saturday 8:30am–3pm if you need to speak with someone about a vehicle. We also offer early drop-off and after-hours pickup for customers who need flexible scheduling. Visit our service appointment page to book your visit.
What areas do you serve?
Bell Ford proudly serves Arlington, Poynette, Columbus, Portage, Wisconsin Dells, Beaver Dam, and all of Columbia County and South-Central Wisconsin. We’re conveniently located just off Highway 51 in Arlington, making us easily accessible from Madison, DeForest, Sun Prairie, and the Wisconsin Dells area.
How do I know if I’m getting a fair price?
We believe in transparent, upfront pricing. Before any work begins, we’ll provide a detailed estimate explaining exactly what needs to be done and why. Our technicians will also show you any worn parts and explain recommended repairs. We never perform work without your approval, and we stand behind all our repairs with a warranty.
