As we get closer to winter, temperatures will begin to drop along with snow and icy conditions on the roads. We here at Latrobe Ford are happy to share our winter preparation services to help get your vehicle ready for the cold of winter.
Our service center houses a team of Ford certified technicians that will keep your vehicle in tip-top shape for the journeys ahead. If you have any questions about our services or repair maintenance, please let us know.
Ford Winter Service
One of the common services we offer is a tire check and replacement. As outside temperatures begin to drop, your Ford vehicle's tire pressures begin to drop as well. When this happens, you may notice your fuel mileage begin to fall off as well as a decrease in your vehicle handling. The loss of handling may also result in your tires wearing excessively.
While your vehicle is in our shop, we will make sure your tires are properly inflated as well as check the tires for any excess wear. During the inspection, we will rotate the tires as well as advise one or more if they wear causes a hazard.
One option that you may consider doing is installing winter tires on your Ford vehicle. They offer durability and traction if you live in an area that is prone to snow and ice. If you feel this option is right for you, please give our service team a call.
Another important winter preparation service we perform is a full inspection of your brake pads and disc. With the combination of moisture from the damp conditions and salt from road protection, your vehicle's brake components begin to lose performance. If that happens, it's important to have them checked and possibly replaced so that you can take in a daily drive with confidence.
Another part we check is your wiper blades. When your windshield beh=gins to build up with snow and ice, your wiper blades may have a tough time clearing it. Our technician will replace the wiper blades and washer fluid with blades more adept at the winter weather during vehicle service.
With these services complete, your Ford vehicle will have what it needs to get through winter.
