Ford trucks are part of the backbone of America, and well-known for their power, carrying capacity, and towing abilities. Keeping your truck in good condition requires regular Ford maintenance, as even Ford components will eventually wear out. As your Ford dealer, we want to tell you about a few examples of the maintenance we offer.
Oil Change
High-quality oil provides many benefits for your engine. It lubricates countless components, surrounding them with a friction-resistant coating so they can work effectively and protect them against excessive wear. The fast-moving oil helps cool your engine, and oil additives keep your engine clean and rust-free and break down potential blockages that could cause damage.
Replacing the oil is a relatively quick process. We test the old oil to identify any unnoticed engine issues. If a problem is discovered, we can repair it. If all is well, we’ll drain the oil and replace the oil filter. The oil filter traps dirt and other debris but can eventually clog and prevent the oil from flowing freely. We then refill your engine with fresh oil.
Brake Servicing
When driving, it’s important to have the peace of mind that your brakes will respond quickly and efficiently whenever you need them. As time passes, brake components can rust, wear out, or become damaged. This reduces braking effectiveness and can be the difference between a near miss and a collision.
Our technicians examine and test all braking components to ensure they work correctly. Your brake system depends on force and pressure, which can damage components. In addition, the brake fluid ages and older fluid is less effective at providing the hydraulic power the system depends on. Some components, like brake pads and wheel rotors, need regular replacement as they wear out. After servicing, the system is tested to confirm it’s working perfectly.
Tire Checks and Replacement
Your tires gradually wear down due to surface friction, and low tread decreases traction and increases stopping distance. Even the best-quality tires are affected by heat and other environmental factors, which causes them to lose flexibility and crack. Tire cracks grow worse over time, and this can lead to leaks or a blowout.
We’ll examine your tires, and provide several services that can extend tire life, like wheel alignment, tire rotation, and tire balancing. If your tires are worn, we can replace them with your choice of high-quality tires from all the leading manufacturers.
