Our qualified, experienced service technicians are committed to keeping your vehicle running at peak performance – so schedule your appointment today! more As part of your vehicle’s springtime maintenance schedule, we recommend the following: Rotate tires. All-season tires are great for year-round use, but to extend their tread life, it’s important to rotate them seasonally. Our team will check tire pressure and tread to ensure your tires maintain good traction through the rainy spring months ahead. Replace windshield wipers and refill fluid. Icy windshields result in wiper wear and tear, so it’s a good time to replace them – and refill wiper fluid as well. Get an oil change. If it’s time for your vehicle’s regularly scheduled oil change, schedule Ford service today. While we’re under the hood, we’ll check other fluid levels, too! Test your battery. Extreme temperatures can put extra strain on your vehicle’s battery, so it’s wise to check your battery after winter’s colder weather. Plus, we know that scorching summer temperatures are just around the corner! Wash and wax your vehicle. Dirt and grime can damage your paint job, so give it a thorough wash and wax. Clean your car’s interior, too, while you’re at it! Your car will look as good as it runs – ready to cruise into spring in style! Check suspension and alignment. Wintertime is rough on roads, and frequent driving on bumpy, uneven pavement can affect your vehicle’s suspension and alignment. The start of spring is the perfect time to check, and make adjustments if necessary. Evaluate your brakes. Even if your brakes seem to be functioning normally, our technicians can check brake pad wear to make sure your vehicle is ready for the road ahead.
