Your Ford requires regular checkups and maintenance to allow it to work at its best. If you’re in Altoona, PA your friendly Ford dealership can provide all the services your car needs to keep it in great shape. These are just a few of the many types of services that we offer.
Oil Changes
Most drivers never really think about their oil, but clean, high-quality oil is vital for your engine’s performance. Oil is continually pumped through the engine by the oil pump, and it lubricates all the moving parts so they can work more efficiently. Many engine parts produce friction, and lubricated protects them with a friction-resistant coating. Healthy oil also reduces rust and protects against engine blockages.
Your car’s manual lists the type of oil your engine uses and provides a schedule for its replacement. As time passes, older oil loses many of its special properties, and this reduces engine efficiency. During an oil change, we test the oil, then drain it and refill your engine with clean oil. We will also remove and replace the oil filter to allow the oil to flow freely.
Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment refers to the angle of your wheels. The correct angle for your wheels is scientifically engineered to ensure fuel efficiency, reduce wear on your tires, and ensure safety when driving. When you first get behind the wheel of your new Ford, its wheel alignment is perfect. As time passes, your wheel alignment can veer off track, and this can result in unnecessary wear and tear.
During a wheel alignment, we’ll raise your car on a hydraulic lift and connect it to our wheel alignment computer. This machine will analyze your Ford’s wheel alignment and compare it to the correct alignment for your model. The computer then proceeds to make a series of adjustments to the wheels until they’re correctly aligned. You’ll notice the difference as soon as you drive away.
Brake Maintenance
Your brakes are the most important safety feature of your Ford, as they allow you to control your speed at any time. The braking system consists of numerous components. All of these components require regular maintenance to allow your braking system to work effectively. Some components, like the brake pads, need to be replaced on a fairly regular schedule.
We also provide a complete brake service, where our Ford-trained technicians will carefully examine all the braking system components. During this service, they make any necessary adjustments to the braking system, replace worn or damaged parts, and check for any potential damage.
We have numerous other services available. Call us today at Courtesy Ford Lincoln.
