How Often is an Oil Change Recommended?
Scheduling routine oil changes throughout the year is necessary to keep the vehicle operating well and avoid potential mechanical issues that can develop under the hood. It is recommended that you get an oil change every six months or 5,000 - 15,000 miles, depending on the type of oil used. You can also read the owner's manual that came with your vehicle to determine specific recommendations based on your make and model. Oil changes are important as they help extend the lifespan of your car and can allow you to avoid costly repairs in the future.
When Should I Replace My Tires?
Tire life varies depending on tire type, mileage, and driving conditions. Tires should get replaced when they have less than 2/32” of depth left, which means there's low gripping action on the road. Tires that are older than six years old should also be replaced. Using a penny, check your tread. If you can see Abraham Lincoln's head, the tread is too thin. Other signs include tears and worn spots on your tires.

Do I Have to Pay For a Recall?
In most cases, the manufacturer covers the cost of the recall because the driver isn't responsible for the present defects or issues. You'll be notified by Ford when there’s a recall issued, and our dealership will have the information stored in our database to ensure you can bring it in for the necessary repairs. We recommend bringing in the recall letter that you receive for your appointment.
Will My Warranty Cover My Repairs?
Each warranty is different from what it covers and how long you can use it for repairs that are needed on your vehicle. Most mechanical issues that develop on their own are covered, but the driver is responsible for problems caused by a lack of maintenance or damage.
What Services Does Your Maintenance Department Cover?
Our dealership is proud to offer a variety of services at our service department, which includes oil changes, tire rotation, battery replacement, brake repair or replacement, alignment, tire replacement, transmission repair, and more.
