Ford Service in Muskegon, MI

Ford Service Page

Most Ford owners know that through the proper care and upkeep of their vehicle, they can substantially increase its longevity and durability. Completing timely servicing, such as having regular oil changes, can increase the life span of a vehicle by as much as 40 percent.

The Importance of Keeping Up with Your Vehicle Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the engine runs at its best performance levels. It can also help prevent costly repairs and catch problems before they become more serious. Following a regular maintenance schedule also improves vehicle and passenger safety and is a vital tool for selling or trading a vehicle down the road.

Following Ford's Service and Maintenance Guidelines

Every Ford vehicle manual has guidelines for vehicle maintenance. Standard service maintenance issues outlined include recommendations for scheduling:

• Oil changes- Ford recommends all vehicles get their oil changed regularly to ensure engine longevity. The recommended servicing schedule is every 6,000-7,500 miles for vehicles under ten years old with less than 100,000 miles. The recommendation for vehicles over ten years old with mileage over 100,000 miles is every 4,000-6,000 miles.
• Tune-Ups- Standard tune-ups should be scheduled every 50,000 miles unless other major engine work has been completed.
• Brake Pad Replacements- Brake pad replacement should be done every 35,000 miles for standard brake pads. Vehicle owners who spend a significant amount of time driving in Muskegon and around Greenville or have a lot of stop-and-go driving should have their brake pads checked every 25,000 miles to ensure they have not prematurely worn down, which can cause damage to other parts of the brake system like the rotors and calipers.
• Wheel Alignments- A wheel alignment is recommended every time a tire is replaced. This ensures proper handling is maintained and preserves the integrity of the tires by ensuring even wear and tear. For all-wheel drive vehicles, front and rear wheel alignments must be completed when tires are changed out. For front-wheel drive vehicles, a front-wheel alignment is necessary when replacing your front tires.
• Tire Rotations- Ford recommends that tire rotations be completed every 5,000 to 8,000 miles on most vehicles unless uneven wear appears on your tires.
