When it comes to extending the life of your Ford vehicle and protecting yourself and your passengers on every ride, routine Ford service makes the difference. At O’Brien Ford of Shelbyville, we offer a comprehensive menu of services and repairs that will keep your vehicle in tip-top shape.
Here are some signs that it’s time for a service appointment.
Your Dashboard is Lit Up
One of the most obvious indications that your vehicle need service or care is a warning light. Your dashboard is equipped with many different warning lights that can indicate which part or system needs attention. Reference your auto manual to know what type of service to schedule.
Your Ride is Rough
When essential parts and systems begin to wear down or get old, they can affect the comfort of the ride. For instance, old or low oil levels will increase vibrations at idle, and uneven tire wear can affect vehicle alignment. Pay attention to ride comfort, and schedule service if you notice a change.
Your Fuel Efficiency is Low
When parts or systems are in need of repair, it can impact their efficiency. That means it can take more fuel for the vehicle to go the same distance, which can greatly affect mileage. One of the best ways to boost fuel economy is with routine service.
You Notice Smells
Different scents can indicate different problems within your vehicle. For instance, the smell of sulfur may be a sign that your battery needs service, and an interior mildew scent often points to an air conditioning problem. Don’t ignore strange car smells, as they often mean there are service needs that should be addressed.
Scheduling service for your Ford vehicle may feel a little overwhelming, but don’t worry. Here at O’Brien Ford of Shelbyville, we’ll walk you through every step of the service and car care process, from that first diagnosis. Schedule Ford maintenance you can trust at our dealership today.
