Regular Ford maintenance ensures that your car always runs efficiently, saving you money in the long term. Old fluids and worn components will cause problems that grow worse over time. Correct maintenance prevents these problems, as potential issues can be noticed and repaired by our Ford-trained technicians. As your Ford dealer, we’d like you to know about some of the types of maintenance we perform.
Types of Ford Maintenance You’ll Always Find at Your Ford Dealer
Headlight Replacement
Good headlight bulbs are invaluable when driving at night or in other low-visibility conditions. They enable you to see the road ahead, and they also ensure that other drivers and pedestrians can see you. A lack of visibility can easily lead to an unnecessary accident. Headlight bulbs have a working lifespan of 500 hours to 30,000 hours, depending on the type of bulbs you have.
Old bulbs can start to flicker, grow dim, and eventually blow out. Replacing a bulb is quick and easy, and we recommend replacing both bulbs simultaneously. Headlight bulbs are always installed in pairs. If one has failed, the other will fail in a few days. Replacing both bulbs will allow you to drive safely at night and avoid needing to return to have the second bulb installed.

It may seem obvious, but a car’s wheels are extremely important to both the safety and performance of your Ford. Many models have different options available from the factory, and your Ford dealer can help you decide what’s right for you, whether you’re configuring a new vehicle or simply buying new tires.
As specialists in Ford vehicles, your local dealer can help you navigate the variables to ensure the best fit for your car, budget, and style.
Wheel and Tire Size
In general, the larger the diameter the wheels are, the lower the profile of the tires needs to be in order to fit within the wheel well. Low profile tires are stiffer, which can enhance handling at the expense of ride comfort. Larger wheels will also put more torque on the road, for better acceleration, but are also heavier and can impact fuel economy.

How to Jump Start Your Ford in 6 Simple Steps
Jump-starting a car is easier than it looks, and doing it successfully can be the difference between waiting for a mechanic and driving away in minutes. As your Ford dealer, we’d like to share with you the easy steps to jump-start a car.
Position Your Car
In this example, you’ll be jump-starting another car with a dead battery. Before you position your car, check the location of the battery in the other vehicle. It’s usually under the hood, but some vehicles have the battery in the trunk. Once you know where the battery is, park your car so the front of your Ford is as close as possible to the other vehicle’s battery.
