Keeping your Ford running like new is as easy as ensuring it gets serviced as often as recommended by the manufacturer; however, you don’t want to trust your Ford with just any mechanic. At your Ford dealer, you’ll find all the essential services you need from factory-trained technicians who will treat your vehicle like it was their own.
Oil Changes
This is the service that is most associated with a dealership service center, and for good reason. It’s the single best service you can get for your Ford on a regular basis to ensure your engine is properly lubricated. When you have your car’s oil changed at an authorized service center, you’ll know you’re getting genuine Ford parts that are installed by factory-trained technicians who know Ford vehicles better than mechanics that don’t specialize in any one manufacturer.
Tire Services
No matter what kind of tire service you need for your Ford, you’ll find it at your dealership. Tire rotations are usually scheduled along with oil changes, as most tire manufacturers recommend you have your tires rotated at least twice a year. Tire pressure checks are also performed at every oil change appointment to make sure your tires are properly inflated for the area’s driving conditions. Of course, if you need new tires, they can handle that as well.
Wheel Alignment
If your car is pulling to one side or the other when you’re holding the steering wheel straight, you probably need a wheel alignment. Not only can misaligned wheels make it difficult to steer, but they can also put additional pressure and wear on your tires. Ford technicians take great care to properly align wheels so that the car is safer on the road. They’ll check the camber, toe, and caster on all four wheels to straighten out your drive.
Battery Services
Today’s car batteries are taxed more than ever, what will all the technology that they have to power. You never want to find yourself with a dead car battery, not only because it would leave you stranded, but also because you may not be able to charge your devices. Having your battery tested at a dealership will make sure your battery always has enough juice. If you need a new battery, they’ll choose the exact one designed for your car.
Wiper Blades
Your windshield wiper blades may not be the first component of your car that you think of when you’re considering its maintenance needs. However, if you get stuck in a rain or snowstorm with bad blades, you’ll wish you paid them more attention. Your blades will be checked during your oil change appointment, and if they need to be replaced, you’ll be given the blades that are recommended by Ford for your specific make and model.
Brakes
Obviously, your braking system is critical for your safety, so you need to have it inspected on a regular basis. Getting your brake pads replaced and your rotors resurfaced when needed will go a long way in making sure you can stop your vehicle when you need to.
Regardless of the service you need for your Ford, you’ll find it at your dealership, and your car will be in the best mechanical hands possible. Call our experts at Palm Coast Ford today to schedule your service appointment.
