The services we perform when you visit our automotive center will largely depend on the condition of your vehicle and the date of the previous servicing. At Sound Ford Service in Renton, one of the more common services we offer is your basic oil change.
Oil is the life blood of your engine and serves to lubricate moving parts, reduce heat, and clear away dirt and grime. Over time the lubricating properties of the oil break down, and it accumulates more and more foreign particles, which is why, for the health of your engine, you need to regularly check and change the oil.
The timing belt is another component of your vehicle that might need replacement. If the parts under the hood of your vehicle are an orchestra, the timing belt is like the conductor keeping everyone in rhythm. More specifically, in many engines the timing belt prevents the pistons from colliding with the intake and exhaust valves. Should the timing belt fail during vehicle operation there are serious consequences, which is why you should get a replacement at regular intervals to prevent costly damage.
Or perhaps you need a tire rotation. The tires on your vehicle, for a variety of different reasons, do not wear evenly. To both improve the performance of your vehicle and extend the life of your tires, you should occasionally visit our team for rotation.
Drivers who need a Service Shop may have questions or concerns about the check engine light. In general, the check engine light indicates a problem with the emissions system, and a common culprit is a failing oxygen sensor. Internal combustion vehicles use a very precise ratio of fuel and air to operate, and the oxygen sensor helps maintain this balance. When the oxygen sensor fails, you will likely experience lower gas mileage, in addition to other problems. Or you could simply have a faulty gas cap that needs replacement. Whatever the reason for your automotive problems, we will find the solutions.
