Can I bring my Explorer in for an oil change on Thursday?

Yes. I have Thursday at 8:30 AM or 1:00 PM. Which works better?

8:30, please.

You're booked for an oil change on Thursday at 8:30 AM.

Example conversation.

Check on your vehicle

Already in the shop? Ask where it stands without tracking down your advisor.

Find service specials

Ask what's on offer right now and put a special on your next booking.

Get hours and directions

Find out when the service department is open and where to bring your vehicle.

Leave a message for the team

Need a person? VAL passes your message along to the service staff.

How it works

A quick text code confirms it's you, so VAL can pull up your vehicles and appointments.

  1. 1

    Open the chat

    Enter your name and mobile number.

  2. 2

    Enter your code

    We text a code to that number. Type it in to continue.

  3. 3

    Tell VAL what you need

    Chat in your own words, as you would with an advisor.

Try it for yourself

This demo is connected to a working store. The code is a real text message, and any appointment you book goes on the Ford Cars of Jonesville service schedule. Everything else on this page is sample content.
