Ford Service: Getting Your Car Ready for Spring

A little bit of service can make a big difference, especially when it comes to changes in the season. When it comes to Ford service, Woodhouse Ford of Blair has your back. We’re sharing all the tasks you want to complete to prepare your vehicle for the spring season. 

Inspect the Battery

Did you know that batteries can lose up to 50% of their capacity in conditions below freezing? It’s a good idea to check your battery capacity when the cold season ends, so you’ll know if you need to replace it.

Check the Hoses and Belts

There are several hoses and belts in your vehicle, and without them, the car wouldn’t run. That said, hoses and belts are made of materials prone to damage and cracking with age, cold weather, and extreme heat. Since spring is a transitional period between those extremes, it’s the perfect time to schedule an inspection.

Wash Your Vehicle Off

There are many reasons you’ll want to rinse away the salt and grime from your car come spring, and not all of them are cosmetic. Regularly washing your vehicle helps prevent corrosion, which often occurs when dirt is left on the vehicle’s surface for too long.

Service your Tires

If you swapped out the tires on your Ford vehicle for winter tires, now is the time to swap back. If you used all-weather tires instead, you should have them inspected and check their pressure, which fluctuates with seasonal temperature changes. If they need service or repair, we’re here to help.
