Ford Repair

Ford Motor Company, commonly referred to as Ford, is a distinguished American multinational automobile manufacturer headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, near Detroit. Founded in 1903 by Henry Ford, the company has played a pivotal role in the automotive industry. Ford is renowned for pioneering large-scale manufacturing of cars and large-scale management of an industrial workforce, particularly through the introduction of the assembly line technique.

Ford markets a wide range of vehicles under its primary Ford brand, with its luxury vehicle division operating under the Lincoln nameplate. The company's global presence includes owning a Brazilian SUV manufacturer, Troller, and holding an 8% stake in the British luxury carmaker, Aston Martin. Historically, Ford has also owned and later sold prestigious automotive brands such as Jaguar, Land Rover (sold to Tata Motors in 2008), Volvo (owned from 1999 to 2010), and the Mercury brand (discontinued in 2011).

Currently, Ford stands as the second-largest automaker in the United States and ranks as the fifth-largest globally. Despite facing financial challenges during the early 21st century, Ford has achieved a notable comeback to profitability. The company is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange with the ticker symbol $F, and the Ford family maintains significant influence through special Class B shares.
