There are so many different kinds of Ford service offered by your local Ford dealer, ranging from minor tweaks right up to extensive repairs on faulty parts. Whether you need us to top up your fluid levels or fix brakes that aren't stopping the car very well anymore, our technicians are up to the job. 5 Types of Ford Service Offered by Your Local Ford Dealer 1. Fluid Level Corrections and Checks You can check your fluid levels at home, but our technicians can check on them instead if you'd prefer that. Our technicians will also replenish any fluid level that's become low in your vehicle. Fluids also need to be replaced at various intervals, with the oil needing to be changed most often. Motor oil often needs to be changed more than once a year. Your owner's manual will recommend an oil change frequency for the Ford model you own, but most vehicles need their oil changed every 5,000 miles to every 7,500 miles. 2. Brake Service Brake service could mean anything from replacing worn-down brake pads to performing lengthy repairs on various components of your braking system. No matter what problem you're having with your brakes, let us handle it. Learning the signs that your brakes need service is a great way to notice problems promptly. Signs of faulty brakes include noises when you're braking, brake pedal vibrations when braking, reduced stopping power, and reduced resistance when you step on your brake pedal. 3. Engine Diagnostic An engine diagnostic is a test we run using special software when your check engine light switches on. Our software can decipher the code that led to your check engine light turning on, and that code tells us which part of your vehicle is faulty. We can then start investigating the faulty system and find the root cause of the problem. 4. Transmission Service Like with brake service, transmission service can be many things. It could be something as simple as a transmission flush, or you could need extensive repairs because part of your transmission system has failed. Signs that you need transmission service include hearing noises while your car is in neutral, having trouble changing gears, and slipping out of gear. 5. Headlight Checks and Replacement We'll periodically check on all of your vehicle's lights to make sure they're all bright and fully functional. Old lights can get dim, or they may begin to flicker. If any of your lights get dim or start flickering, then the bulbs may be going to burn out soon. Come to Fernelius Ford, Inc. in Cheboygan, MI for any repairs and general maintenance that your vehicle needs. You can conveniently schedule service through our website.

The exhaust system is a vital yet often overlooked car part that must function properly at all times. If you neglect to maintain the various components of your Ford exhaust, your engine could become damaged and your road safety may be threatened. Ford Exhaust System Care: Ensuring Maximum Performance Check Your Exhaust for Rust or Damage It's a good idea to periodically inspect your exhaust for signs of rust or any kind of corrosion. Clean away rust as best you can; have it professionally removed if necessary. But take note: you should always wait until the underside of your car has completely cooled down before going anywhere near it. The exhaust is also susceptible to damage from potholes, curbs, parking stanchions, and other road obstacles you unintentionally drive over. Keep an eye out for dents or loosened manifold bolts, hangers, and pipes. Take Longer Drives To Evaporate Moisture Rust is often the death knell for components of an exhaust system. The condensation created inside every exhaust generates moisture, which is usually the primary cause of rust. This moisture causes rust, but if you mostly use your car for short drives of five or ten minutes, your exhaust might not heat up long enough to evaporate all the moisture; taking occasional longer drives will ensure your exhaust is properly dried out. Clean Your Exhaust Often, Especially During Winter When cleaning your car, don't neglect to clean the undercarriage thoroughly, including every inch of the exhaust. This is particularly important in winter when clumps of salty snow can rapidly corrode the metal of exhaust pipes. Watch Out for Signs of Exhaust Trouble One of the best things you can do is learn the warning signs of exhaust trouble so you can nip problems in the bud early, avoiding far more expensive repair jobs. If you hear clunking or rattling from below, something may have come loose or the catalytic converter might be damaged. Foul smells in the cabin could also indicate issues with the cat, which is no longer properly clearing the fumes. Problems with the engine can sometimes point to a clogged exhaust, which would hamper the flow of oxygen and gases through the vehicle. If your engine loses power or starts to misfire, have your exhaust checked. Schedule Routine Inspections at Your Ford Dealership As with many car parts, regular inspections are the key to a healthy exhaust system. It's advisable to visit for an exhaust checkup at least once a year. Our technicians will quickly identify and repair any nascent problems before they get worse. Maximizing the performance of your exhaust usually takes an expert eye. Visit Fernelius Ford, Inc. in Cheboygan, MI, today for a comprehensive exhaust inspection.

Is your AC not working? Driving without good air conditioning is no fun at all on hot summer days. The following maintenance tips will have your AC running at full power in all conditions. And if your AC runs into trouble, head to your local Ford dealer for repairs. Ford Air Conditioning Maintenance: Stay Cool and Comfortable Recharge the Refrigerant The AC works by cycling refrigerant through the condenser, compressor, and evaporator. As it flows, the refrigerants switches between liquid and gaseous states, drawing heat from the air as it does so. To maintain its special properties, the refrigerant will typically need to be recharged every two years. If your AC stops blowing cold air, you may have a refrigerant leak on your hands. As AC refrigerant is transparent, odorless, and evaporates quickly, it's often difficult to locate an AC leak without a special dye skillfully applied by a technician. Clean Your Car's Interior Regularly The quality of the air inside your cabin will impact the AC's long-term performance. With this in mind, clean and vacuum your cabin's surfaces frequently to prevent dust and airborne contaminants from building and clogging up the air conditioner. Replace the Cabin Air Filter The cabin air filter cleans the air entering your car. Without a good air filter, the air inside your car will become dirty, clogging the airways and hindering your AC. Cabin air filters usually need to be replaced once a year. Frequently Use Defrost Mode The AC's defrost mode is often essential on cold winter mornings when the windows are fogged and frosted. Even during the warmer seasons, it's a good idea to run defrost mode for 10 minutes per week. This helps clean out moisture from your cabin and AC system, while also preventing mold and maintaining optimal gas pressure. Set Your AC to the Coldest Setting Over the long run, your AC is put under less strain when used at the coldest setting. When warmer than this, the AC must reheat the air, working harder and burning additional fuel. So unless it's too chilly for comfort, keep your AC running extra cold. AC Not Working? Visit Your Ford Dealer for Repairs If your AC starts rattling, clicking, or making other strange sounds, have it examined and repaired. Any reduction in its ability to cool your car should also prompt repairs. Smelly air blowing out of the vents is often a sign that mold needs to be cleaned, and water dripping under your dashboard may point to a clogged outflow pipe. Whatever problem your AC has, have it fixed quickly before it develops into a more serious repair job. Visit Fernelius Ford, Inc. in Cheboygan, MI, today to have your AC serviced or repaired by experienced, helpful professionals. We seek to provide all our customers with a top-notch vehicle purchasing, financing, or servicing experience.
