Top 5 Services You Can Count on at Your Local Ford Dealership

Just like you schedule your physicals and routine dental appointments, you should also take the time to schedule routine maintenance for your car. It’s very easy to forget the last time you had your oil changed, or maybe you’re not sure if the fluid you’re seeing on your driveway is normal or if it’s just a leak. It’s best to go to the pros for all your service needs at your local Ford dealership.

1. Oil Change

Almost all cars require regular oil changes, though each car has different requirements. Some cars need to have their oil changed every 3,000 miles while others are every 10,000. And while this is something that you may be able to do yourself, it would be much easier to just head down to your local dealership and allow them to do all the messy work for you.

2. Battery Services

Do you know how old your battery is or how much life it has left? Sometimes it’s easy to tell if your battery is failing, like when your car struggles to start up or when the battery or check engine light turns on. Maybe you smell rotten eggs after your car is started, or maybe you go to start your car to find out that your battery is completely dead.

A trained service technician will be able to tell you if your battery is good or if it will need to be replaced soon. Let us replace your battery with one that’s perfect for your car so you only have to use the excuse of “My battery died” for when the line at the coffee shop is a little too long.

3. Tire Rotation

Remembering to have your tires rotated is like remembering when you last had your teeth cleaned. Was it six months ago? Last year? Longer? Wait, don’t they rotate every time you drive? Not the same thing, though you could tell your mechanic friend that to see the reaction.

Rotating your tires helps prolong their life and even helps to prevent a flat tire from happening while you’re on the highway.

4. Headlight Replacement and Restoration

Have you ever driven down a dark road and wondered if your lights seemed dimmer than you remember? Over time, the lens covers on your headlights can get foggy and need to be restored.

Maybe your headlights aren’t dim, just one of them is burnt out. While you could make it home with one headlight, you really shouldn’t. Driving with one or even no headlights is dangerous and could result in something worse than a ticket. Changing it on your own, while feasible, might be more trouble than it’s worth. Allow the pros at your local dealership to change it for you.

5. Vehicle Inspection

Sometimes you just don’t know what’s wrong with your car. Maybe the check engine light has been on for a couple of weeks or you start seeing a mystery puddle under your car that wasn’t there before. Rather than pretending that you don’t see the light or the mystery puddle, it would be best to take it to a dealership.
