Get Your Ford Serviced before the Holiday Season

December 10, 2021 · 2 min read

With the holidays rapidly approaching, now is the perfect time to squeeze in a service appointment at Franklin Ford for routine maintenance. This is the time of the year in Cumberland, RI, when the snow is starting up, and it’s important that you take appropriate steps to ensure that your vehicle is protected and ready to handle the slick and snowy roads.

Oil Changes

Your Ford likely requires an oil change a couple of times each year, though the exact frequency will depend on things like the oil you used for your last oil change, how much driving you’ve been doing, etc. An oil change is a relatively quick process, but its protection to your vehicle is important.

Tire Rotations

Rotating your tires is another maintenance item that needs to get done approximately once or twice per year. This process will help promote an even wear pattern on your tires, so you don’t have to replace them as often.

Winter Tires

Investing in a set of winter tires can help you remain safe on the slick roads of Cumberland, RI. We can help you choose a set that is affordable and beneficial for the specific model of Ford that you own.

Windshield Wipers

The windshield wipers on your Ford are an extremely important part of seasonal safety. When the roads get covered in snow, rain, slush, and salt, your windshield wipers will help to move all of that out of your field of vision. This will help you navigate the roads while keeping other people on the road safe as well.

If you would like to schedule an appointment at Franklin Ford for seasonal maintenance or have repairs that you have been putting off, now is the perfect time to give us a call. We can find a day and time that is convenient for you, and we’ll have you back on the road in no time.
