Service Your Ford!

Have peace of mind by reading over our top five maintenance tips, then come and see us for winter auto care in Delaware!
Examine Your Tires
To ensure your tires are in solid condition for driving on ice and snow, place a penny headfirst into various tread grooves. If you always see Abraham Lincoln’s whole head, you may need new tires. Perhaps consider snow tires for your purchase. We also suggest maintaining the required tire pressure and storing a jack and spare tire in your vehicle.
Observe Your Brakes
The way you apply your brakes can determine their durability. We encourage coasting while slowing down and regularly refreshing your brake fluid. While driving, listen for vibrating noises, grinding, and alerts that may appear, and let our certified Ford technicians know if anything seems amiss.
Test Your Heating Unit
Avoid shivering commutes by testing out your heating unit ahead of time. If you notice any odd smells filtering from the vent or leaking antifreeze on the passenger floor, book your winter auto care in Delaware today!
Prioritize Oil Changes
Your engine doesn’t like to be cold or dry. A good rule of thumb is to have your oil changed every three months or 3,000 miles, but check your owner’s manual for your specific model. Replenishing your oil is crucial for a healthy engine and to keep many other moving parts lubricated within your vehicle.
Check Fluid Levels
Lubrication not only keeps your engine and brakes smoothly operating, but it’s also essential to refill transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and to replace the hoses that they travel through. Our Delaware winter auto care protocol will make sure your fluid levels are at best.
