Your Ford dealer offers a lot of services that will be beneficial to you and your car. You can, of course, buy a new car and trade in your old one at the dealership, and we also offer car financing to help with your purchase. On top of that, we can also provide Ford service to keep your car in fantastic shape and prevent breakdowns. Check out four important services offered by your Ford Dealer that you may not find at a neighborhood garage.

1. Regular Routine Maintenance

We provide every service your Ford needs to stay in great shape, including the important regular routine maintenance that keeps your car running like new for many years. You need a full scheduled maintenance service at least once a year, during which we’ll check on all the components of your vehicle, change your oil, replace the oil filter, and top off any low fluid levels.

Then, roughly every two years, you should consider a major service, where we’ll perform all the checks and replacements involved in a full-service as well as additional checks and replacements. Components that may need to be replaced during a major service include the fuel filter and spark plugs. Your owner’s manual or dealer service department can help you get on the proper schedule.

2. General Automotive Repair

Your dealership can offer everything from a basic tune-up to swapping out your whole engine. Well-maintained cars typically run smoothly, but they can still have issues from time to time. If your car is having problems, you should head straight to your local dealer to get the problem diagnosed and get the car repaired. We perform general automotive repairs on any aspect of your car, from replacing your spark plugs to rebuilding a transmission.

So, if your engine is making weird noises, if your brakes are less responsive than usual, or if you’re having trouble shifting gears, then we can take on that repair. We’ll run an engine diagnostic to figure out what the problem is, if necessary, and then get to work on fixing the issue.

3. Headlight Checks

Car headlights tend to last a very long time, but eventually, they will need to be replaced. In fact, all of the exterior and interior lights in your vehicle may need to be replaced at some point. We can test your headlights to see if they’re working at full capacity and replace them if they’re too dim to safely illuminate the road.

4. Battery Replacements

We can check your car battery to see if it should be replaced now or in the near future. If your car is slow to turn over or even worse, if you can’t get your car started without jumping it, then it may be the battery. If it is, we can replace your battery with a brand-new one that gets your car working as it should again.
