It’s time once again for those long-awaited summer vacations with your family, and the last thing you want is to be stressed out and stranded on the side of the road. Here at Helfman Ford, we want to help ensure your vehicle is in the very best condition for your upcoming trip. Here are three Ford service tasks to prepare your car for a summer road trip.
Tires
One of the most important things you can do is to check your tires and air pressure since improper tire pressure can place unnecessary stress on your engine and extra wear and tear on your brakes and suspension. Underinflated tires can decrease fuel economy, thereby causing a strain on your fuel budget. Be sure to inspect all four tires and the spare (if applicable) as well.
Fluids & Filters
Before you take off on your trip, our expert service technicians can check the following filters and replace them if necessary:
- Oil
- Engine air
- Fuel
- Cabin air
If needed, we can also top off any fluids, such as windshield wiper fluid, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and coolant.
Oil Change
Regular oil changes are necessary because the oil lubricates the moving parts of your engine. Getting an oil change before a long trip will improve your car’s performance and efficiency.
