Stay Up-to-Date With Ford's Recommended Service Schedule

If you're looking for a detailed breakdown of factory-scheduled maintenance, refer to your Ford vehicle's owner's manual. It outlines the types of service your vehicle should get. There are short-term and long-term services, all of which we're happy to perform at our service center near Freeland, PA.

We employ factory-trained technicians, and they're intimately familiar with your Ford model. We adhere to strict service guidelines and high standards, using OEM parts as a rule. Our goal is to keep your Ford cruising efficiently and comfortably around Mountain Top, PA for your vehicle's lifespan.

What are Short-Term Services?

Short-term services are some of our favorite services to provide. They're quick and easy, but they're essential. They also give our team an opportunity to meet you and get to know your driving style, which is an essential ingredient in our service-oriented environment.

The most common short-term services include things like oil and filter changes and tire rotations. Oil lubricates your engine and keeps it free from dust and other particulate matter. A clean, lubricated engine works better and lasts longer. Tire rotations ensure even wear of tire treads, allowing tires to maximize traction, grip, and stability while you cruise through Bloomsburg, PA.

What are Long-Term Services?

Our techs also relish the opportunity to give your Ford long-term services. These appointments include things like changing the timing and serpentine belts or inspecting the differentials. As EVs and hybrids gain in popularity, factory-scheduled maintenance calls for special short- and long-term services unique to these technologies.

Aging vehicles, even those receiving expert care, still require advanced maintenance as they age. Your Ford truck, car, or SUV takes serious daily beatings on the roads around Pottsville, PA. Over time, your Ford might require an inspection or replacement of:

• Struts or shocks
• Differentials
• Spark plugs
• System flush (transmission, brakes, coolant, or transfers case fluids)

Routine Maintenance You Can Do Yourself

The upkeep of your Ford SUV, truck, or car is a collaborative effort. Between factory-scheduled visits to our dealership, we recommend having your vehicle cleaned. Our service techs suggest a thorough cleaning at least twice annually.

Keeping your vehicle clean preserves its paint job. It also results in a vehicle that generally looks better. Your vehicle's looks won't negatively affect its value if you decide to sell it to another driver. Some other basic care tips we encourage at our dealership near Nesquehoning, PA include:

• Checking fluid levels once per month
• Inspecting tire tread once per month
• Keeping the tires inflated
• Looking for leaks, odd sounds, or smells
• Paying attention to dashboard alerts

You can use a penny or a special gauge to assess the tire tread depth. If you want to use a penny, insert one turned upside down into the tread. Lincoln's profile should be facing you. If you can see all of Lincoln's head protruding above your tire's tread, then the tread's probably too low. This step might indicate the need for a tire replacement. If it's time for a replacement, you can explore our parts and service coupons to find ways to maximize your budget.

When to Schedule Services

Your Ford owner's manual explains what services your Ford vehicle should get at what intervals. Each vehicle is unique, and each Ford model calls for a specific service schedule. However, there are some general recommendations that apply to most vehicles.

It's a good idea to get an oil change every 7,500 miles or six months. The first big checkup typically comes at 10,000 miles. At this interval, it's advisable to have the wheels checked and have your Ford vehicle's brakes, cooling, and exhaust systems inspected. You can also monitor your vehicle's oil life and schedule a service appointment through the FordPass program.
