Are you ready to treat your Ford to a little fall maintenance? We thought so! And so this week we have put together a little easy-to-follow guide to ensure that your Ford is getting all the TLC it deserves. Check out our guide below and be sure to schedule your service appointment with our team online today! We look forward to working with you – see you soon! 

First things first, address any known concerns your vehicle is currently suffering from. Whether it’s minor or major, make sure to clear up any issues to ensure no roadblocks or breakdowns along the way. It’s a great idea to schedule a service appointment and have our team take a look at your vehicle to ensure things are a-okay and you’re good to go! 

Next, everything should be in proper working order. This counts for every feature from your head and tail lights, interior lighting, dash lights and such. Replace your windshield wipers and ensure the frames are not bent, rusting, etc. What about those filters? Have you replaced those recently…no? Then swap them out. And how is your heating system? Is it ready to go? Let’s give that a little attention! Brakes, tires, battery, should we go on?! 

On to the fluids! It’s important to make sure that all of your fluid levels are properly filled and healthy. This is an easy task for our service team to complete so if you’re looking to have these taken care of in a moment’s notice, call our team and let us schedule an appointment for a time that fits into your busy schedule! 

Lastly, accessorize for the season! It’s important to have a bag packed with essentials that you may need along the way. For example, pack a sweater, blanket, gloves, and hat during the winter months. Don’t forget an ice scraper, extra windshield washer fluid, and a small shovel. Always keep specific items you’ll need for the current season. In the event of an emergency, you might need these items.
