The service team at Preston Ford of Keller has listed our top five Ford winter care tips to ensure the best for you! Review our Ford winter care tips, then schedule your maintenance appointment today!

Examine Your Tires 

Bald tires that contain excessive tread or cuts can be hazardous when roads are icy. You may even consider getting snow tires for optimal grip. Uneven tire pressure may reduce your fuel economy and overall handling. Also, be sure to have a jack and spare handy.

Observe Your Brakes 

Your brakes should be changed now and then according to how and where you drive. Listen for vibrating noises when you press the pedal and any alert lights that may appear. Let our certified Ford technicians know if you notice anything unusual. Expand your brakes’ longevity is by coasting to slow down and having your brake fluid checked regularly.

Test Your Heating Unit

Book your Ford winter care today to avoid cold commutes! If you notice a strange smell coming from your vents, antifreeze leaking in the passenger floor, or you are shivering even when the heat is on, these are warning signs that your heating unit is malfunctioning. 

Prioritize Oil Changes

Lubrication prevents the moving parts within your engine from turning into a thick sludge that can lead to costly repairs. It is recommended to change your oil every three months or 3,000 miles, but check your owner’s manual for your specific model. You can DIY or call us to replenish your oil today!

Check Fluid Levels

Yellow engine oil, translucent brake fluid, green coolant, amber-colored transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and blue windshield wiper fluid are essential in your vehicle. Schedule your Ford winter care for us to top off your fluids and check for leaky hoses.
