Routine car maintenance is critical if you want your Ford to continue to perform at its best. With expert maintenance services from the Ford-trained and certified technicians at your Ford dealership and a little car care from you, every mile behind the wheel of your Ford will be an enjoyable experience.

1. Get Maintenance Services from Certified Ford Technicians

For the best, reliable maintenance services, counting on those who know every inch of your Ford is vital. Our factory-trained and certified Ford technicians have in-depth knowledge of all your vehicle’s systems and components and know what maintenance your car needs at each factory-recommended maintenance interval to ensure that your vehicle is maintained correctly and runs at its best.

2. Keep Up with Your Vehicle’s Maintenance

Following your Ford model’s service schedule and maintenance intervals is crucial to keep your vehicle in top condition and ensure its reliability and safety. Each Ford model has a service schedule with factory-recommended maintenance intervals, which you can find in your Ford owner’s manual.

3. Stick to the Oil Change Intervals

Your Ford engine needs oil to keep the moving engine components well-lubricated. Regular oil changes ensure your engine runs efficiently. Your Ford’s Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM) will notify you when it’s time for an oil change.

4. Rotate Your Tires Regularly

Taking care of your tires is crucial as they can be expensive to replace. We recommend regular tire rotations to ensure that all four tires wear evenly, prolonging their lifespan.

5. Always Install Genuine OEM Parts

For your vehicle’s part replacements, it’s best to rely on high-quality genuine Ford, Motorcraft, and Omnicraft parts manufactured specifically for your Ford. These parts come with a warranty from Ford and are covered for 24 months with unlimited mileage from the date of purchase or installation by a certified Ford technician.

6. Perform Monthly Maintenance Checks

You can conduct certain inspections independently to keep your vehicle in good condition. Make sure to check all fluid levels and refill them if required. Also, inspect the tires for wear and damage and inflate them to the recommended PSI. Check your battery terminals for corrosion, ensure all lights are working correctly, and remember to wash your car at least twice a month.
