At Canso Ford and Ford Canada, we recognize your vehicle is your lifeline. As the Covid-19 pandemic creates financial uncertainly for many in our community, those with loans and leases are able to defer their payments–without penalty in many cases–due to temporary financial hardship.
For information regarding payment deferrals for new purchases, please visit our Built To Lend A Hand page.
Below is a list of our finance partners, their contact information, and a short description of how they’re currently helping their clients in this unprecedented time.
