No, it will NOT void your warranty! Just keep the receipts for the maintenance in case you have a warranty claim.
Read the warranty book that came with your car. It quite clearly states that you do NOT have to have your vehicle serviced by a Ford dealer.
Federal law prohibits manufacturers and dealers from requiring maintenance to be done by the dealer. It also prohibits them from telling you that you must. If your dealer tells you otherwise, remind him that he is breaking the law.

Generally I would say no. Most dealers are getting away from the old strong arm tactics of making you use their dealership's service department for service. BUT, you should read your warranty to be positive. It should say in there, probably in the section regarding maintenance, if you can take it to any service facility. Just make sure if you do take it elsewhere, keep records of the maintenance completed and make sure it at least meets the minimum recommended by Ford.

No, not really. That's what they say. Bcz. they want your business. It is a competitive world out there.
Just make sure you pick a reputable repair facility who know Ford cars. You should have no problem. If their price is competitive to a dealership I would do that - no warranty terms are lost.
You have recourse if they say no. You can take them to task.

it amy void that specific part that was worked on, or it may void the whole thing.
why wouldn't you get it done at ford, if it's still under warranty??
there should be a ford number you can call with warranty questions like this.
take care.
