Why Ford Dealership Service is Important

There are many aspects that go into being a car owner that sometimes get overlooked. Once a car is in your possession, it becomes crucial to keep up with car service so that your Ford stays safe on the road. We’ll take you through some of the most important services you should get regularly and how we can help you get them right at our location with our Ford dealership service. Battery Service Your car battery is what gives your Ford the power it needs to drive. It can become ineffective more quickly if exposed to extreme weather or if you don’t use it enough. Wear and tear on the battery is totally normal, so we recommend replacing your car battery every four years to keep your Ford vehicle running like new. Oil Change Service Your coveted Ford vehicle is made up of gears that interlock when you’re driving, and motor oil makes it so that these crucial parts aren’t grinding together or wearing out when you’re out on an adventure. Fresh oil makes for a safer, smoother, and more comfortable ride. We recommend getting an oil change every three months or 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Tire Service Your tires are what connect your Ford to the road, so it’s important they stay in the best shape possible. Tire rotations, tire pressure checks, and wheel alignments are all essential services that ensure your vehicle can handle tricky terrains while you’re on the streets. The service center here at Mac Haik Ford provides all of these services and more so that your Ford will continue driving as well as the day you bought it. We can also help with more specialized and less frequent services that may arise. Let us know if you have any further questions about Ford services. We’re eager to help!

Why Buy New When a Used Ford F-150 is Just as Good?

The debate between buying new or used is a tale as old as time. Some stand firmly on one side of the issue while others remain unmoving on the other. How are you to know which side to take, new or used Ford F-150? Let’s look at both sides of the discussion and try to help demystify the issue. more New Ford F-150 Buying a vehicle fresh off the assembly line comes with a number of undeniable benefits, starting with the Ford new vehicle limited warranty. For the first three years or 36,000 miles of ownership, Ford provides you bumper-to-bumper coverage for any mechanical or workmanship defects that should arise during that time. One thing to consider, however, is the drop in value the vehicle will undergo after purchase. Over its first few years, all new vehicles depreciate, sometimes losing as much as 30% of their value. Used Ford F-150 Right off the bat, buyers will realize an immediate perk to buying used: the price tag! While you may not get bumper-to-bumper coverage from a new vehicle warranty, the money you save from buying used can easily be put to any potential problems the vehicle may run into in the future. When buying used, you should always inquire about the vehicle’s history. If a vehicle has been in an accident in the past, even if it has been serviced since then, there could still be underlying damage in the engine. Make sure to have the engine looked at by a mechanic before buying! Which one will you choose? With both new and used Ford F-150s available now from Mac Haik Ford, you’ll have to check out both options! Stop by today to take one (or both) out for a test drive!

Don’t Ignore the Check Engine Light Your vehicle’s check engine light is an important indicator of the health of the engine. While the problem that tripped the indicator could be minor, the light should never go ignored. Even something as minor as an oil change or fluid refill can have drastic long-term effects on the engine. Regular Maintenance is Key Just like how every person should be regularly seen by a doctor, your vehicle should be regularly inspected by your local service center. Regularly rotating your tires, changing your oil, checking fluid levels, and changing brake pads will do more to prevent engine wear than anything else. Preemptively identifying potential problems before they become a larger issue is not only cheaper but will be better for your vehicle in the long run. So now that you know how to take care of it, perhaps it is time to take this process to the next step. It may be time for you to stop by Mac Haik Ford to take your future 2020 Ford Fusion SE out for a test drive!
