FAQs

What's The Next Step To Work With MFS?

The first step is that we send our ‘Professional Services Agreement’. This agreement only needs to be signed once. This means that anyone (County Commissioner, Town/City Managers, Sheriffs/Chiefs) who has to vote on it, only has to do so once. The Agreement is Non expiring, does not require a long-term commitment, and does not need a downpayment to receive it.

How Do Payments Work?

Clients will have a Net30 on payment AFTER the delivery of the vehicle. We set up a bank transfer or we accept checks. Payments are usually upfront for the year. Let us know if you need an exception for a payment schedule.

How does the vehicle(s) get delivered?

After the client places an order with MFS. MFS places the order direct with the Manufacturer. Then MFS will reach out to the preferred/local dealership in the area to work with them on getting the Pre-Delivery Inspection done before handing the keys over to the client.

What if the Client wants to purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease term?

Client can purchase the unit for $500 over the asking price for the vehicle at any time for the original purchase price including all rebates and concessions. We also offer programs for municipal employees and family to purchase the units after the lease expires.

What responsibilities do the Municipalities have to the vehicles?

The Municipality is responsible for the routine maintenance of the vehicle (Oil Changes and Tire Rotations)

Who chooses the equipment on the vehicle?

The client chooses their own equipment for their own needs.

Who owns the equipment on the vehicle?

The client purchases the equipment and can be put on any of our vehicles. After the lease term, the client removes the equipment and can put it on another vehicle.

What upfitting can be done on the vehicle?

The Client can add: •Stickers • Bumpers (We encourage Push Bumpers)
• Lightbars • Partitions • Window • Barriers • Door Guards
• Prisoner Transport Inserts • Radios • Laptop Mounts & Docking Stations

What can the client NOT do to the vehicle?

1. Paint the vehicle.
2. The traditional A-Pillar Spotlight cannot be added because it requires drilling a hole in the A-Pillar. The reason we cannot allow it is that it invalidates the warranty on the vehicle. We do have other options available.

What if there is an accident, who covers the damage?

Our policy states if your driver causes damage to the vehicle, your department will be liable for the repairs. MFS covers normal wear and tear of the vehicle (small scratches, chips, etc.).

Can the Municipality authorize a local vendor to manager the maintenance?

Yes. MFS is about making the entire experience hassle-free for clients. That means that the client can let us know who handles their maintenance and the vendor can directly send invoices to MFS to cover the expenses of Tire replacements if needed.

Is the MFS agreement up to legal standards?

Yes, a Municipal Attorney who served as a Lawyer for the Bush Administration wrote the contract. That means it was created by Municipalities for Municipalities.
