Ford Service Center Tasks

Before the temps start falling, you’ll want to schedule a Ford service appointment with our dealership. Here’s a look at our checklist:

  • Inspect the entire vehicle
  • Change the oil
  • Check the brakes
  • Test the battery
  • Inspect the radiator and cooling system

We can also install specialty winter tires to improve your handling on icy or snowy roads, and fill your car up with winter-rated windshield wiper fluid (you’ll need a set of new wiper blades, too). By the time you leave our service center, you’ll have the confidence that your vehicle has been winterized by professional technicians.

Your To-Do List

Throughout the winter, there are a few things you can do to make sure your vehicle stays healthy. Although our Ford service center is always happy to help, many of our customers prefer to occasionally refill their windshield wiper fluid and keep an eye on their tire pressure. Don’t forget to keep emergency supplies like an ice scraper, snow brush, jumper cables, flashlight, blankets, and a phone charger in your vehicle in case the unexpected happens.
