You can get pretty busy in your life. Between work, home, and all the events you have to take your kids to, who has time to take care of your car? Like it or not, your Ford requires regular service to make sure it operates the way it should. So, just how frequently do you need to bring your Ford to the service team at Jim Schmidt Ford? Let's take a look at some of the major milestones your Ford needs to ensure you get the most out of your travels.
15,000 Mile Service
One of the first recommended services you'll face after purchasing your new Ford comes at 15,000 miles. This milestone typically comes around the first year of driving. This service includes projects like:
- An oil change
- Fluid check and top off
- Tire Rotation and Balance
- Air filter check and replacement
30,000 Miles Service
Some services will occur more frequently than others to give you the most efficiency and performance out of your Ford. An oil change is among these jobs. Once you hit 30,000 miles, the list gets a little longer and still includes many of the services from your last milestone.
- Brake pad check
- Check suspension and shocks
- Check fuel Filter
60,000-Mile Service
By now, you've gotten a couple of years of adventures out of your Ford. As you approach this particular milestone, you'll need to give your Ford even more attention. It is time to start looking for any exterior issues that may be materializing, like rust or cracking. Of course, it also gives you a chance to look under the hood.
- Replace the battery
- Inspect the brake rotors
- Check belts and hoses for excessive wear
90,000-Mile Service
Because you know you can trust a Ford to last, you will want to consider the next step when you hit 90,000 miles on your odometer. This is a great time to take the opportunity to give your Ford a true inspection. In addition to all of the services you get at each of the other milestones, you should also have our team inspect its safety technology and spark plugs.
The team at Jim Schmidt Ford doesn't truly expect you to remember every milestone for your car, truck, or SUV. We'll let you know when your milestones are approaching. You can trust our experienced service professionals when the time comes.
