There are certain types of Ford service you need more than once a year, while you can go longer before getting other types of service. No matter what service you need, you can be certain you can get it at your local Ford dealer.
4 Essential Services Offered by Your Local Ford Dealer
1. General Ford Service
Interim, annual, and major service are three types of service you need on a regular basis. You get interim service more than once a year, annual service every 12 months, and major service every 24 months. Each type of service includes different checks and forms of preventative maintenance, and it’s important that you don’t skip any of them.
During interim service, we do things like change your oil and rotate your tires. During annual service, we’ll likely need to change your oil and rotate your tires again, and we also perform over 80 checks on different parts of your vehicle. During major service, our checks are even more in-depth than during annual service, and we replace any worn-out parts that need to be replaced, such as the spark plugs and worn electrical wiring.
2. Electrical System Service
Your vehicle’s electrical system has a lot of different parts that need to be maintained. The battery needs regular checks such as a voltage test and load test, and it needs to be replaced every 3 to 5 years. We need to check on your alternator to make sure the belt isn’t loose or worn. We need to make sure the starter is working and in good condition, and if it’s not, then we need to replace it.
Look out for electrical issues and stop by when one appears. When your electrical system is in disrepair, you might have trouble starting the car, your accessories could start malfunctioning, or your headlights could be dim.
3. Brake Repair
There are lots of signs that let you know there’s something wrong with your braking system. If you’re dealing with reduced braking power, then you may have an air leak in the braking system or a brake fluid leak. If your car pulls to one side when you brake, then your brake linings might have worn down unevenly. If you hear a screeching or grinding sound when you hit the brakes, then you almost definitely need new brake pads.
Whether you need a routine brake pad replacement or a major brake repair, our technicians are ready to handle the problem.
4. Fluid Level Checks and Corrections
Cars are full of different fluids, all of which need their levels checked. You need top-ups once your fluid levels get low, and you also need different fluid changes at various intervals.
