We always strive to give our customers the tools to get the most out of their Ford vehicle. That's why we encourage our customers to keep up with service and maintenance tasks at our service center near Philipsburg.
Did you know that having regularly scheduled oil changes can substantially increase the durability and longevity of your Ford? That's because engine oil is critical in ensuring the engine runs efficiently and doesn't overheat.
Engine oil becomes filled with dirt, debris, and tiny metal particles as it cycles through the engine. This changes the oil's color and consistency, making it a dark brown and thick like molasses instead of its natural, free-flowing amber color. These changes make the oil less effective at cooling the engine, leading to expensive engine repairs and failure. Vehicle engines that are serviced following the recommended oil change guidelines can last twice as long as those that are serviced less frequently.
For Ford vehicles that are less than ten years old and have less than 100,000 miles, oil changes are recommended every 7,000 - 8,000 miles. For older Ford vehicles and those with mileage over 100,000 miles, oil changes should be scheduled every 4,000- 5,500 miles to ensure the engine runs at its best.
Most tires will last between 35,000 and 50,000 miles under normal driving conditions. However, for Ford owners who spend more time driving in road construction areas or through areas with poor road conditions, such as roads with potholes and damaged asphalt, the life of a set of tires may be less. The best way to protect against premature tire failure is by keeping up with wheel alignments and monitoring road hazards.
Getting a complete set of new tires simultaneously is always recommended to ensure even wear. However, tires can wear unevenly or suffer from unexpected damage, which can cause a flat or blow-out. No matter whether you need a single tire or a complete set, our service department is always available for tire repairs and replacement services.
No one likes to get stuck with a dead battery, and like all other vehicle parts, batteries have an expected lifespan. Replacing your battery before it no longer holds a charge can help protect against getting unexpectedly stranded with a dead battery on a Bellefonte road. The average lifespan for batteries is between 3-5 years. However, vehicle owners with high-intensity tech and accessory usage will often need to replace their batteries more frequently.
Because of our unwavering customer commitment, our service department runs regular promotions on oil changes, tire and battery replacement, brake service, and other essential service maintenance. Our certified Ford mechanics are always ready to give you the best care and advice to ensure your vehicle has longevity, durability, and optimum passenger and vehicle safety. In addition to servicing all makes and models of Ford vehicles, we also offer full servicing on most major brand makes and models.
