Routine Service and Maintenance
Queens may be many things, but it is certainly not routine. With one of the most diverse populations of any county in America, two major airports, the Amazing Mets, and the US Open every fall, there is more to Queens than meets the eye. Nevertheless, if you want to keep your Ford in top working order, you are going to need certain routine services and maintenance. We will keep you advised on the routine schedule for your Ford so you never miss an appointment. Best of all, we provide many great service deals right here on our website, so you can save many while you keep your Ford running right.
Probably the most important part of any routine service is the oil change. Your engine oil keeps all the moving parts lubricated, helping to reduce heat buildup inside of the engine. However, as the oil moves through the parts, it picks up minute particles of debris that are deposited in the oil filter. It also starts to break down from engine heat. When this happens, your engine will lose the ability to perform optimally. Eventually, you may do actual damage to your engine. This is why you will need to have the oil and oil filter changed. It is a routine procedure using the proper oil recommended by Ford.
Similarly, you should have your tires rotated as well. The treads on your tires help channel water, snow, and mud away so your Ford can maintain a grip on the road. However, over time, the treads can wear down. This is especially true with front-wheel and rear-wheel drive models that put more stress on the front or rear tires. By rotating them on a routine basis, you will allow them to wear more evenly. This will extend their life while also giving you a more consistent ride in your Ford.
Oil isn't the only fluid that needs checking in your Ford. Items like coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid need to be checked. Coolant helps keep your Ford's engine at the proper temperature, while brake fluid and transmission fluid provide the hydraulic pressure needed for these key parts to function. As for windshield washer fluid, you know that comes in handy when you get a little dirt on your Ford's windshield. If any of these are low, our team will top them up. We will also check to make sure there aren't any problems, as low fluid levels could be indicative of a leak.
We can also assist you with brake repairs and wheel alignments. The rough roads in some parts of Queens can damage your vehicle. A bad pothole or hitting a curb can knock your wheels out of alignment. When this happens, your Ford will pull to one side when driving. Our team can help you with these routine repairs. We will also check your brake pads to make sure they don't need to be replaced. Each time you step on the brakes, the pads create the friction needed to bring your vehicle to a safe stop. However, this wears them out over time.
This is all part of the multi-point inspection we will perform each time you stop in for service. Our technician will review all of the critical parts of your vehicle, and then a team member will go over the findings with you. This will let you know what needs immediate attention and which items to keep an eye on for future issues. The main thing is to make sure your Ford is operating safely and in top working order when you leave our service center.
Why Visit Us for Your Ford Maintenance?
Many Queens drivers take their Ford to a local mechanic rather than a Ford service center. What they don't understand is the value of taking your Ford to a dealership with the experience and know-how to take care of problems the right way. Ford uses specific parts for its vehicles, and many of the systems and features are proprietary to Ford.
Our team has been trained to work on every Ford model, an advantage that your local mechanic doesn't have. Also, each of our technicians has experience working on Fords, handling dozens of vehicles each week. Your local mechanic may work on some Fords, but they may never have worked on your specific Ford model before.
When you bring your Ford in for service at Premier Ford of Bay Ridge, you will know that the repair or maintenance has been done correctly using genuine Ford parts. You know that you will get that service when you come here since we are a certified Ford service center. This is not something you can know for sure when going to a local mechanic.
We Can Order Parts for Your Ford
One feature that helps us stand apart is our parts department. Whether you need to replace a part on your Ford because it has worn out or broken or you are looking for an upgrade, you can find it here. We can also order parts for you directly from Ford.
