Routine vehicle care is a vital duty that a responsible Ford owner should not ignore. All vehicles - including brand-new ones - require service at some point because mechanical components are not indestructible; they are often susceptible to wear and tear. Dean Arbour Ford of Alpena wants local Ford owners to know that the service department can handle many routine maintenance and preventative maintenance requests and so much more in Alpena.
An Oil Change and More
Oil changes come up sooner than expected. Whether you drive an F-150, Expedition, Mustang, or EcoSport, the oil and filter require a change within a few thousand miles near Rogers City.
Keeping current with all oil changes is a simple step to protect an engine and improve a vehicle's efficiency. Changing the oil and filter also allows for a multipoint inspection, which gives owners insight into the car's condition. Owners can take those steps if additional service is necessary, such as changing the spark plugs or replacing the windshield wiper blades near Presque Isle.
Additional Routine Services
Other routine services are necessary at some point, detailed in the owner's manual. Staying current with recommended services has many upsides, including reducing the potential for worse problems. Not checking or changing the coolant or transmission fluid as recommended can lead to disastrous problems, such as a ruined vehicle. Even a brand-new Ford can suffer irreparable damage if the transmission fluid leaks.
A thorough brake inspection can reveal problems that require immediate attention, and tire rotations and wheel alignments can preserve tires and add life to them. Any vehicle, even a new one, can find its wheels knocked out of alignment after hitting the curb or a bump.
