Ford Maintenance and Service

Routine maintenance on your Ford is one of the most important ways to ensure its vitality and longevity. This includes regular oil changes, tune-ups, brake work, and tire and wheel care.

When it comes to servicing your Ford, it's essential to note that smaller engine and maintenance tasks left unattended too often lead to costly repairs down the road. That is why at Dutro Ford Lincoln Inc., we recommend vehicle owners follow the Ford manufacturing guidelines when servicing their car, truck, SUV, van, or crossover.

Ford Inspection Services for Repairs

There are several times when having our professional Ford-certified mechanics inspect your vehicle is critical. This includes:

• Unusual Sounds - When the vehicle starts to make an unusual sound when driving, it's essential to have the vehicle inspected to ensure no serious defect occurs. Whether the sound is coming from the engine area, the front or rear end of the car, the exhaust, sounds coming from the braking system, problems when starting as well as unusual sounds from the tire area, getting the vehicle checked out promptly by our certified Ford technicians is recommended to ensure the vehicle is safe to drive.
• Improper Handling - If your vehicle seems to have problems with proper road handling, such as slow response time for steering, feeling more sway in the vehicle than usual, or problems with the braking system response, then getting an inspection to identify the problem is recommended. Problems with road handling can lead to a car accident and should be addressed promptly.
• Service Engine Light Warning - If your vehicle's "check engine light" has come on and is staying on, it's time for your vehicle to be inspected to see what is happening. There are a variety of items that can trigger the "check engine light" system. While most of them are minor repairs, if left unattended, they can lead to more significant engine troubles and more costly repairs.
