Fluidity on the Road Starts with Topped Fluids

When you think of Ford maintenance, your fluids might not make the biggest splash in your mind—but they’re all critical to helping your Bronco conquer the toughest trails or for assisting your Mach-E Mustang in delivering a smooth and efficient cruise through Marietta with non-stop exhilaration. The best place to start is with an oil change every 7,500 miles, which helps lubricate your powertrain parts to reduce the friction of metal scraping metal to assist in keeping your wear and tear to a minimum. Plus, full-synthetic oil blends help your performance-driven models like the Mustang deliver non-stop fun while receiving the proper cooling to help ensure your rides won’t need to stop soon.

For more fluid service, opt for radiator, transmission, brake, and power steering top-offs to help you control your cruiser the way you desire while also assisting you in stopping where you intend (and while minimizing the risks of a fender bender). Don’t forget, saps and pollen make a mess on your windshield in the spring, so clean up with windshield wiper fluid for full vision ahead.

Repair and Replace: The Key to Epic Spring Cruising

On top of keeping your fluid levels in check, you’ll also want to examine car parts like your battery to help ensure you don’t get stranded at home on the day of a big meeting at the office. When you take your vehicle to our technicians, we’ll inspect your power source for any potential damage and let you know if it’s time for a new battery.

Don’t forget about your tires—as low tread prevents you from launching with finesse or stopping in time for an intersection—and hydroplaning on a wet Woodstock road is a quick path to collisions and citations, which is even more reason for wanting a new set of tires. To know when it’s time for a replacement, insert a penny head-first into the tread grooves—can you see the top of the legendary 16th President’s head? If so, it’s time for a new set of tires.
