Purchased my 21 ST earlier in the year from a large, reputable, Buick dealership. Should I take the car to them for warranty service or should I establish myself with a Ford dealer, also large and reputable? Obviously, I guess I am asking because of the assumption the Ford dealer would be, by definition, more experienced with ST-related issues. Have I answered my own question?

Just to add, I don’t think Ford allows non-Ford dealerships to do warranty work.

This is true. Only Ford dealers can administrate Ford warranties work.
