Oil Changes & Tires Rotation

Starting at the beginning of your Ford’s lifetime, the most important thing is upkeep.

At each 5,000-mile mark, you’ll want to book an oil change and replace the oil filter. It’s also good to rotate your vehicle’s tires and check for wear and tear.

As the oil works its way through your Ford, it breaks down and acquires impurities simply from doing its job. Replacing the oil and filter means your vehicle remains the well-oiled machine you can rely on.

Tire rotation is when we change their positions on the vehicle. This helps vary the pressure placed on each tire. It also gives our team the best opportunity to inspect your tires for damage.

Maintenance Every 15,000 Miles

Once those numbers get a bit higher, you’ll want to have a few extra maintenance services performed. You’ll want to opt for a series of inspections to check on such things as:

• Transmission fluid level
• Brake pads, lines, and hoses
• Engine cooling system
• Steering and suspension
• Exhaust system
• And more

If anything needs to be replaced or serviced, which can happen as your Ford’s mileage increases, we’ll take care of it quickly and easily so you can hit the road worry-free.

You can also trust that our service center is stocked with parts for your Ford. You can even treat yourself to some new accessories.
