Ford Road Trip Service Tasks
Routine car service is essential all year long, but it’s especially important when you’re planning a big trip. These are some of the top road trip service tasks we provide here at Helfman Ford:
- Tire Inspection: It’s a good idea to check your tire pressure once a month or before big trips. Filling your tires will provide greater driver control and improve vehicle efficiency, which will save you money on the road. Our team will also check for signs of wear or damaged that needs to be addressed.
- Fluid Top-Off: Your vehicle relies on quite a few fluids to run properly. Our team will top off and change those fluids as necessary, including oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid.
- Brake Check: Your brakes can go a long time without repairs or replacements, but it’s a good idea to make sure they’re working properly before a long trip. We’ll check for signs of damage or wear and replace brake pads, as needed.
- Light and Windshield Check: Visibility is essential on every drive, especially when you’re driving far from home. Our team will check the headlights and windshield wipers, to ensure maximum visibility, and taillight and brake lights, so you’ll be safe on every ride.
- Battery Check: Batteries can wear down over time, which can make it difficult to start your vehicle or run the electric systems properly. A simple test will tell you whether the batter needs to be replaced before you hit the road.
