Ford vehicles are popular on American roads due to their performance and durability. But did you know you can make your vehicle last longer by getting some services from your Ford dealership? Here are some ways they can help.
Oil Changing
Oil changes are vital to giving your Ford's engine a new lease of life. We fill the motor with the best lubricant to keep the internal parts clean and running smoothly for a long time.
Additionally, we accompany this with free multi-point inspection. Our certified Ford technicians will check all the critical parts to ensure your vehicle is given a clean bill of health.
Filter Changing
Apart from lubricating, oil also cleans the engine. All the debris is trapped in the oil filter, which clogs over time. If this component is not replaced in due time, the particles will head back to the engine, causing wear and tear. We do oil filter replacements to maximize motor durability.
Another critical component we change is the air filter, which traps dust and particles from the engine intake. If these are breathed in, your Ford will have a lower power output and fuel efficiency. As a result, the motor will have to overwork to compensate for the reduced performance, which will reduce its durability.
Fluid Level Checks and Flush Outs
Engine oil is just one of the fluids that require level checking or flushing. Others that are critical to improving your car's durability are:
- Coolant
- Brake fluid
- Transmission fluid
- Power steering fluid
Tire Repairs and Replacements
Tire treads give a good grip on the road, which keeps you and your vehicle from getting into accidents. We check the tires and do replacements to ensure you drive safely. Additionally, you can search the recommended tires by vehicle or size on our website to get a new set.
Another service we do relating to tires is rotation. Treads do not wear evenly on the four sides, which means some will last for a shorter period. Tire rotation takes care of this by ensuring even wear.
Brake Repair
Brake service/repair entails checking and tuning the brake pads and linings. You should bring your car for this service if you spot the following issues when braking:
- Squeaking sounds
- Leaking brake fluid
- Pedal pulsing or vibration
- Increased stopping distance
- Vehicle vibrations
Cooling System and Radiator Repair
If you notice the temperature gauge on the dashboard going towards the red side, something might be wrong with the cooling system. Prolonged high-temperature levels can lead to engine damage, so you should bring the vehicle to us as soon as possible.
Battery Service
A battery is responsible for providing power to start the vehicle and run all electrical systems. We do battery servicing to keep it functioning effectively for as long as possible. The process mainly involves scrubbing corrosion from the terminals.
As you can see, we have several ways to maximize your vehicle's durability. Visit Jack Madden Ford to get your car examined as soon as possible.
