Maintaining your vehicle
Routine maintenance, such as oil changes, having fluids checked/flushed, and tune-ups, can greatly increase your vehicle's performance and reliability as well as greatly extend its life. Plus, keeping your vehicle in top shape can help you save money on repair costs and boost its resale value.
Oil change
Today's vehicle engines generally have extended oil change intervals beyond 3,000 miles, so it's recommended that you consult the specific maintenance schedule interval in your vehicle's owner's manual.
At Premier Ford of Bay Ridge, an oil change is so much more than just an oil change. When you come in for The Works,® you receive a complete vehicle checkup that includes a synthetic blend oil change, tire rotation and pressure check, brake inspection, multi-point inspection, fluid top-off, battery test, and filter, belts and hoses check-all at a very competitive price.
Fluid levels
Having your vehicle's fluids topped off is simple and can be performed in just a few minutes. These include oil, radiator, transmission, power steering, windshield washer, and brake fluid.
Filters
Your vehicle's filters should be changed every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Most can be inspected and replaced during a routine oil change. These include the engine air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, and cabin air filter.
Spark plugs
Your vehicle's spark plugs should be changed every 100,000 miles. This service is a bit more complicated than a routine oil change, and the time and cost will depend on the year, make, and model of your vehicle.
Belts and hoses
Belts and hoses play an integral part in your vehicle's performance. As belts age, the rubber becomes brittle, causing it to crack. If the belt is showing signs of wear on its outer edge, this is also a sign that it will need to be replaced.
Since coolant temperature is about 200 degrees, the hoses that carry it are extremely important. A belt or hose failure can cause loss of both power steering and the electrical charging system, as well as result in an overheated engine. If your vehicle's engine overheats, this can cause the cylinder heads to warp, resulting in a very expensive repair.
Hoses are generally inspected for softness and swelling, hardening, cracks, chafing and heat damage. If any of these issues are detected, the hoses will need to be replaced.
Brakes
Your braking system is a crucial part of your car's safety. Having the brakes inspected during a routine maintenance visit can help save both time and money. Discs should be inspected for rough spots, warping, or damage. If they are shiny and show little signs of wear, maintenance is likely not needed. If they are damaged or warped, they should be resurfaced or replaced immediately.
Your vehicle has rubber and metal brake lines, and both can crack and leak. Our technicians will first examine the rubber hoses to ensure they are soft and don't have cracks. They'll then check the hard metal brake lines for corrosion and leaking. If either is damaged, replacement is recommended.
Batteries
Today's vehicles are loaded with technology. That's why it's more important than ever to ensure your vehicle's battery operates at peak performance. At our Ford service center, we know exactly which battery is needed for your specific vehicle and can help guide you through the process.
Tires
Maintaining your vehicle's tires helps keep you safe, helps your vehicle run more efficiently, and extends the life of the tires themselves. Following these simple steps will help ensure you get the most out of your tires: Have your tires rotated at every maintenance visit-see your owner's manual for specific recommendations.
Tire rotations help ensure that your tires wear evenly, extending their life and the time between new tire purchases.
Also, check the pressure of all tires, including the spare, at least once a month when the tires are cold, meaning that the vehicle hasn't been driven for at least three hours. Recommended air pressure for your vehicle's specific tires can be found on the placard typically placed on the driver's side doorjamb.
