If you’re looking for a place to get reliable and expert Mileage Maintenance near Seattle, then the service center at Sound Ford is the place to visit. Regular checkups are good in that they ensure your vehicle is up to the manufacturer’s specifications, and our well-trained staff knows exactly what to do. Regardless of the make, model or model year, you are in good hands when you choose us, as we are the Ford experts.
The 30K mark is significant, as there are a few key things that need to be examined and/or serviced. In addition to an oil change, we inspect the belts, hoses, and filters and change them if need be. We look at your coolant to ensure that it is clean and functioning as it should. The last thing you want is to be stranded on the side of the road due to overheating.
As part of the available Ford Mileage Maintenance, we examine your steering and transmission fluids. Depending on the specific vehicle that you drive, most require a flush and changing of the fluids. Either way, we consult with you throughout the process, and we will never tell you that you need something you don’t.
If you drive an older vehicle, you most likely will need a few more inspections. We always perform the duties listed above, but we check your spark plugs and distributor cap. Faulty spark plugs can diminish your engine’s performance and reliability over time. Your brake fluid is examined as well, as if it gets too old, it can thicken and thereby diminish its effectiveness. We also look at your brake pads as part of the Mileage Maintenance Service.
If your vehicle has over 100,000 miles, we offer tune ups, in addition to the other services mentioned above. We provide a detailed and comprehensive look at your engine and adjust the idle if necessary. Your all-important timing belt is examined as well. Regardless of what you need, we communicate with you throughout the process. Our main goal is that you drive off happy and that we earn your repeat business.
If you would like to learn more, feel free to either contact us or stop by our Renton, WA shop. We are here from Monday through Saturday, and our hours are accommodating. You can also schedule an appointment online.
We look forward to meeting you and helping you with your vehicle maintenance needs. Come see us today at Renton Sound Ford Service.
