Seasonal changes affect your car—here’s how to keep it in top shape.

The Importance of Seasonal Vehicle Care

Seasonal upkeep not only keeps your Ford in top condition but also ensures safer and more reliable driving. Varying weather conditions can strain your Ford's components, making maintenance essential.

By following these seasonal tips, you can help your car perform optimally and reduce the risk of unexpected issues.

Preparing Your Ford for Spring Driving

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your Ford after a harsh winter. Ensure your Ford is ready for spring with these essential checks:

  • Tires: Swap out your winter tires and inspect your all-season set for wear.
  • Brake Inspection: Harsh winter conditions can strain your brakes, so get them checked.
  • Alignment: Potholes and icy roads can throw off your alignment.

Prepare Your Ford for Summer

Summer’s heat can put your Ford to the test, especially during long road trips.

  • Engine Cooling: Check your radiator and coolant levels to prevent overheating.
  • Oil Changes: Regular oil changes are vital for engine health in hot weather.
  • Cabin Comfort: Ensure a cool ride by servicing your AC and air filters.
