When the seasons change, you might feel motivated to catch up on some car-related responsibilities. Owners who put extra miles on their Ford truck or SUV during the summer months might benefit from visiting Bill Dobson Ford for fall service. Our dealership could help drivers of various makes and models get their vehicles inspected and serviced by expert technicians.
The temperature, traffic patterns, and overall weather conditions change when summer turns to fall. A decent tune-up is what your Expedition, Explorer, or F-250 needs to stay safe around Jasper, IN.
Fall Service Concerns
Drivers who traveled quite a bit during the summer may find their oil dirtier than expected, and their tire treads might be prematurely lower. There could be another issue that the driver does not realize requires attention. Thankfully, booking a fall service appointment allows a technician to look at various parts, components, and fluids. A check of the drive belt may uncover wear and tear and the need for an immediate replacement. A road test could be in order, telling a tale the owner needs to know.
The Fall Service Safety Factor
Safety counts when driving a car around Vincennes, IN, and catching up on necessary service could help ensure the vehicle runs properly. A tire blowout on the highway would not be a good situation. Replacing worn tires after an inspection could prevent a troubling situation.
Fall is also when young ones return to school. Their commutes could be safer when a car is in solid shape. Please consider scheduling a service appointment.
Cost-Saving Benefits
A fall service inspection could also help save the owner some money. Imagine if old motor oil continues to run through the engine. The performance could be lacking, and fuel economy may suffer. The car's efficiency could also suffer if the tires do not maintain the proper inflation. Having these aspects, and other issues, addressed might help the budget-conscious owner.
Multi-point Inspections
A routine oil change appointment also allows a technician to conduct a basic multi-point inspection. Such inspections might reveal issues that require immediate attention before you hit the road to Loogootee, IN again. Sometimes, the inspection allows the technician to give an owner a "heads up" about service that may be necessary in the near future.
Owner's Manual Recommendations
Have you checked your car's owner's manual to see what service is coming up? Regardless of the season, a Ford truck, SUV, or car's owner's manual will indicate what services are necessary at specific mileage points. An owner's manual's "scheduled maintenance" section may suggest mileage points for replacing the cabin air filter, engine air filter, spark plugs, and more. Those with many miles on their vehicles may need more work than they realize.
Routine service typically involves changing the oil and oil filter and inspecting the brakes, tires, exhaust system, and other parts. Rotating the tires and performing a wheel alignment are also routine services. Other possible services to perform at our service center near Lawrenceville, IL include:
- Battery Checks and Cleanings
- Windshield Wiper Replacements
- Coolant Flushes
- Bulb Changes
Be aware that routine service could prevent costly repairs or even a totaled vehicle. For example, if the coolant leaks out or becomes so dirty that it's ineffective, the engine could overheat. An overheated engine could suffer significant damage to the point a vehicle gets totaled. Other issues could cause inconveniences that might ruin someone's day, such as discovering a dead battery one morning. Why go through such hassles when a service appointment can fix these issues?
