You want to get the best performance from your Ford when you're driving around Ashland, and our experts at Bill Talley Ford are here to help. With just a bit of regular maintenance in a few targeted areas, your Ford can continue performing reliably for years to come.
Common Maintenance Services
Oil Changes
Everyone likes saving money on fuel, and one of the easiest ways to do that is by creating a more efficient engine with regular oil changes. Motor oil coats precision components, allowing them to create less friction as they move. It also whisks away contaminants that can wear down parts over time. This efficiency means the engine needs to use less fuel to produce the same results. It also helps to reduce engine heat, eliminating one contributing factor in the potential causes of an overheating engine.
Tire Care
Traction is a primary concern at any time of year, not just in the icy depths of winter. For your Ford to give its best performance on the roads of Hanover, you need the correct tire for the season. Summer's heat can leave tires soft, making them incapable of providing firm grip when cornering or traveling at freeway speeds. A dedicated summer tire provides a stiff rubber blend that holds up well in high temperatures. In the winter months, a good all-season or even winter tire can handle slippery precipitation. If you keep the same set on year-round, it's still a good idea to have them rotated twice a year so you avoid wearing down certain areas prematurely.
Brake System Repair
It's rare to have a serious issue with your braking system, but it can happen, especially if you've neglected regular maintenance for it along the way. Prompt care for your brake pads and timely replacement of your brake fluid every few years will help you avoid most serious brake issues.
Engine Inspections
Whether you do the majority of your driving near Richmond or spend a lot of time on the open road, you'll benefit from regular inspections because they catch the first hints that indicate more serious trouble is looming, like suspicious leaks from a cracked hose or splitting rubber casing on wires. You can time inspections to coincide with big seasonal changes or right before an important road trip, so you'll have peace of mind as you're heading away from home.
Seasonal Care
It might seem like you're always getting ready for the next season, either putting on summer tires or taking them off in favor of something with an aggressive tread, checking your wiper blades, waxing the exterior to prepare for cold weather or blazing sun or any of the other tasks that help you navigate spring's muddy roads or autumn's chilly mornings. Seasonal preparation can really help you get a jump on whatever the weather around Sandston has in store for you, and our technicians can help by switching your tires out to match the season, giving your engine a thorough check and topping up vital fluids like coolant and windshield washer fluid.
