Instead, allow Skaha Ford’s Service Department in Penticton to complete regular vehicle checks on your trucks to keep them working as hard as you do.

Our Ford factory-trained Technicians with Red Seal certifications will complete an 83-point inspection using our exclusive Vehicle Report Card at every service. During the examination, the following components and systems will receive a thorough analysis:

• Exterior Body: Head and tail lamps, body panels, the hood and bed will be inspected for signs of damage.

• Tire & Brake Wear: Wear and tear on all tires and the braking system will be addressed to ensure responsiveness and reliability.

• Oil & Fluid: All fluid levels will be topped up, and our Technicians will change the oil filter.

• Systems & Components: Critical systems and components will be examined to detect potential issues, including the lighting systems, the air filter, belts, hoses, exhaust systems and more.

• Battery: The battery and charging system will be tested to verify optimal performance.

• Interiors: Interior components will be inspected, such as the seat control, steering wheel, infotainment functions, and more.

The results from the assessments will be recorded on a Vehicle Report Card, using a red, yellow and green rating system to detail what components are running well, what needs immediate attention, and what may require service to help you plan for future maintenance.

At Skaha Ford, our factory-trained Red Seal-certified Technicians can give your medium-duty trucks the expert treatment they need to keep them operating well on Hedley roads.

Our electrical repair and maintenance services include:

Batteries and Cables
Whether it's time for a replacement battery or the cables and connections have failed or corroded, our team can inspect and replace these components on your medium-duty truck. 

Breakers and Fuses
Fuses and circuit breakers are designed to protect circuits in an overload. Regular inspections and replacements can ensure the lasting performance of your medium-duty truck's electrical systems.

Lights
Commercial fleets operate in low-light conditions and at night. Our factory-trained Red Seal-certified Technicians will test and inspect your lighting system for optimal performance to ensure your crew's productivity and safety.

Spark Plugs
Spark plugs channel the electrical current to ignite the air and fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. Over time, these parts wear out and require replacement, which is why regular inspections are essential.

Starters and Alternators
A starter converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, and the alternator charges your medium-duty truck's battery. Preventative maintenance minimizes downtime and avoids being stranded on the job site.

Wiring and Switches
Faulty wiring and switches are enough to ground any commercial fleet. Bolster your uptime with regular electrical inspections to identify fault connections before they arise.

To ensure optimal stopping abilities and long-lasting wear, you must take care of your braking system – not just with regular maintenance but by being aware of your driving habits.

Here are five tips from our medium-duty truck experts at Skaha Ford to minimize downtime and extend the life of your brakes:

1. Slow down
Slamming on your brakes while driving at high speeds puts unnecessary pressure on the system. To reduce excessive wear, consider going slower and coasting to a stop.

2. Be aware
Always look ahead for upcoming stop signs, red lights, obstacles or a slowdown in traffic. Doing so will help you gradually come to a stop and avoid braking too hard.

3. Avoid unnecessary braking
Unnecessary decelerating not only wears your brake parts, but it is a safety concern for drivers behind you. Always keep a safe distance between the vehicle in front of you. If that car stops quickly, you want to have enough space to react in a controlled manner that’s gentle on your brakes.

4. Flush brake fluid regularly
Flushing your medium-duty truck’s brake fluid often helps to ensure that the components last longer and work more efficiently. Your Owner’s Guide will outline the appropriate interval for your Ford commercial vehicle.

5. Invest in quality brakes
Always choose Original Equipment brake parts, as opposed to aftermarket varieties. Only Genuine Ford and Motorcraft brake parts are designed for a precise fit to ensure quality and performance, plus they are backed by a full warranty.

Therefore, exterior maintenance for your lighting system is critical to keep your crew protected and comply with safety regulations.

At Skaha Ford, we support busy fleets with medium-duty truck inspections, maintenance and repairs. When you book your C-Type, F-Type or E-Type vehicle for service, our factory-trained Technicians will identify and repair any lighting issues to prevent system failures.

Our exterior lighting service will look for signs of corrosion, which occurs when unprotected wiring or connectors are exposed to moisture and wet conditions. Should your truck have any burnt-out front headlamps and signal lights, fog lamps, taillamps and truck lighting bulbs, we will replace these parts for better visibility. Our team can also swap out incandescent lamps with LEDs, which have a higher light output and provide enhanced longevity.

Don’t let degraded lighting systems lessen your commercial fleet’s safety. Instead, keep your medium-duty trucks performing their best with expert service at Skaha Ford in BC. Book an inspection today!
