We take our vehicles for granted every day, forgetting that under the hood a complex system of parts, liquids, and gasses are responsible for getting us from point A to point B, and then later to point C. In other words, we rely on our vehicles to function daily, but we fail to appreciate the marvel of modern automotive engineering, and in failing to appreciate our vehicles, we fail to provide adequate maintenance.
Nothing lasts forever, as the saying goes. This famous phrase is even more fitting in the world of vehicles. Extreme temperature swings, rapid-fire combustion, moving metal parts, and much more wage a war on our vehicles, which means eventually everything, or almost everything will need either a replacement or a tune up. If you delay vehicle maintenance, thinking perhaps one more week would be okay, you risk causing further damage and increasing the cost of repair. More importantly, you risk your life and the lives of your passengers because a poorly maintained vehicle is an unsafe vehicle.
We have established the importance of regular vehicle maintenance, but what exactly does your vehicle need? When should you seek help from automotive professionals?
Most vehicles come with an owner’s manual, a small booklet often located in the glove compartment, or perhaps the trunk. In this booklet, you will likely find a recommended service schedule that shows you when, based on mileage or time elapsed, your vehicle will likely need certain services. If you have trouble finding the owner’s manual, just give our team a call, tell us the model and year of your vehicle, and we can tell you when to come in for your next maintenance appointment.
At Sound Ford Service we work on all makes and models of vehicles, not just Ford. We would like to use our resources and expertise to keep your vehicle running great. Don't wait, get in touch with us today.
