Regular vehicle service benefits your safety, finances, and driving pleasure in so many ways. Here’s an outline of why you should always keep up with routine service at your local Ford dealership.

Keep Your Drives Smooth and Peaceful

As the years pass, drivers who neglect preventative maintenance find their cars getting rougher, noisier, and less reliable. This happens as wear and tear gradually spreads throughout the vehicle. Regular service keeps the vehicle’s fluids fresh and components in great shape, which helps your car to remain smooth and quiet on your daily drives. 

Enhance How Safe You Are on the Road

With routine inspections, fluid changes, part replacements, and diagnostic checks, you’ll ensure that each safety-related component is in tip-top shape. Your brakes, tires, suspension, steering system, and headlights will remain optimized, responsive, and totally reliable, which keeps you protected from the risk of skids, blowouts, and collisions. 

Reduce Your Risk of Serious Malfunctions

A well-kept car is also far less likely to experience a serious fault that requires several days in the shop. Regular service ensures that minor issues are detected early and quickly repaired. When drivers don’t properly maintain their cars, severe problems occur more frequently with the engine, transmission, brakes, and suspension, which result in plenty of stress and hassle. 

Make Your Car Much Cheaper To Maintain

Dealing with serious faults is also expensive. During a routine engine tune up, our technicians will notice and replace a worn serpentine belt at relatively little cost. However, if you didn’t notice this issue, the belt might suddenly snap one day, which would disable various components, including the cooling system, and could lead to overheating and engine seizure. This is just one example of how neglecting regular service leads to far more costly car problems. 

Extend Your Car’s Lifespan By Many Years

All vehicles need regular maintenance to stay alive and healthy. Just as routine doctor visits extend our own lives, regular professional maintenance will do wonders for your car’s longevity. 

Improve the Resale Value of Your Ford 

You might one day wish to sell your car or trade it in for a more advanced Ford. This will be hard if you haven’t looked after it with routine maintenance. Firstly, the car will perform badly when tested. Secondly, the buyer can access the vehicle history report to check how frequently you took the car in for routine upkeep.
