It's a new year, and you have a brand new ride. A vehicle is a major investment, and when you invest your hard-earned money in a new car, you want to know your investment is protected. You'll be happy to know that you are well covered by your new Ford's car warranty. Your Ford dealer will be happy to answer any specific questions you might have, but here are the basics you need to know. What Does Ford's Standard Car Warranty Cover? Under your Ford's standard limited warranty, you are protected against all manufacturer's defects. Basically, assuming normal use, Ford will adjust, repair, or replace any and all parts of your vehicle that malfunction during the warranty period due to a defect in factory workmanship or factory-supplied materials. The repair or replacement will be free of charge to you as long as your warranty has not expired, except, in some cases, for tires.  So when you are zipping around town in your new Ford Explorer Platinum, you can relax and focus on getting where you need to go. more Coverage for Tires Like any other part of your Ford vehicle, your tires are covered under your warranty, but on a pro rata basis because tires normally experience a lot of wear and tear. Your dealership will cover a portion of your tire's replacement cost, depending on your car's mileage: Up to 12,000 miles, 100% covered Between 12,001 and 24,000 miles, 60% covered Between 24,001 and 36,000 miles, 30% covered You'll be glad to know that your tires are also covered under a separate warranty provided by the tire manufacturer, and that this coverage may extend beyond what is covered under Ford's standard warranty. What Is Not Covered by Your Ford Dealer? Your standard Ford warranty only covers manufacturer's defects. It does not cover damage to your car due to external factors such as collisions/accidents, misuse (such as driving through deep water or over curbs), normal wear and tear, tampering, fire, vandalism, earthquakes or storms, use of contaminated fuel/fluids, or improper use of the 120V convenience cord (in the case of plug-in vehicles). You may wish to purchase extended coverage to supplement the standard warranty when you purchase your new Ford vehicle. An extended warranty will protect your investment beyond the standard period and will provide additional protection for many parts of your vehicle, including your car's powertrain components, body sheet metal panels, engine and engine components, and electrical drivetrain system. Your dealer can answer any other questions you have about your standard warranty and extended warranty options.

A Ford engine contains many different fluids, each of which has a specific role in your engine performance. Worn or damaged components can lead to leaks, and fluid loss will cause additional engine damage, depending on the affected system. If you have a car engine leaking, we can fix it at your Ford dealership. These are some of the types of leaks we can repair. Coolant Leaks Coolant is the liquid in the cooling system, and it can absorb heat. Liquid coolant is pumped through the cooling system at high speed, and it absorbs the heat radiating from hot engine components. The heat is transported to the radiator by the coolant, and it enters the radiator tubes, where the heat is removed by airflow over the tubes. Coolant is available in bright colors like pink, green, yellow, and blue. If your Ford is leaking liquid in any of these colors, your engine is in danger of overheating. A lack of coolant means heat can't be removed from your engine, and the increasing temperature will damage engine seals and gaskets. Once we find and seal the leak, we'll refill the coolant, and your engine temperature will return to normal. more Oil Leaks Oil lubricates all the moving parts in your engine as it circulates. Many of these parts depend on friction to work effectively, and the oil allows them to move smoothly rather than grinding against each other. The continuous flow of oil helps to cool the hot engine components, and additives in the oil help to prevent engine rust and break down engine deposits. Oil is usually amber, although it darkens over time as it absorbs dirt in your engine. If oil is leaking, you'll usually spot a puddle of amber, cream, or even black liquid on the ground underneath the engine. A lack of oil means engine components will grind against each other and suffer damage. Your engine temperature will also increase. We'll trace the source of the leak and seal it, then we'll refill your oil. Transmission Leaks The transmission is filled with fluid, and this fluid provides the hydraulic power that allows your gears to shift effortlessly. The fluid also coats transmission components to reduce friction damage, and it cools the components as it passes over them. Transmission fluid is bright or dark red and has a slightly sweet smell. If you have a transmission leak, gear shifting will become rougher and louder, the transmission will start to overheat, and transmission components can seize up. The most common leak spot for transmission fluid is the transmission pan gasket. We'll replace the gasket and also check for any other leaks, then we'll replace the transmission fluid. Leaking fluid can cause serious engine damage if it's not stopped quickly. Call our service department today at Chestatee Ford of Dahlonega, GA.

You spend a lot of time in your Ford, and it deserves more than just a quick wipe down every now and then. With some dedicated TLC, you can have a car interior you always feel comfortable and happy to be in. Here's a few interior car care tips from your local Ford dealer. Vacuum Regularly This might seem obvious, but crumbs and dirt have a knack for multiplying in unseen corners, and they're something we're always going to get to "later." Invest in a good hand-held vacuum and give your seats, floors, and trunk a thorough once-over at least weekly. more Tackle Tough Stains Right Away Spills happen, but don't let them become permanent. For fabric upholstery, blot up as much liquid as possible immediately with a clean absorbent cloth. Then, use a mild upholstery cleaner following the manufacturer's instructions. For leather, opt for a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking. Sun Shades Matter Protect your dashboard from the sun's damaging UV rays with a custom-fit sunshade. This will prevent fading, cracking, and that dreaded dashboard glare. Don't Forget to Dust Wipe down your dashboard and instrument cluster regularly with a microfiber cloth to remove dust and prevent build-up. For stubborn grime, use a slightly damp cloth with a diluted all-purpose cleaner or a to-purpose interior car detailing cleaner. Keep Those Windows Clean Streak-free windows enhance your driving experience and improve safety. Use a quality glass cleaner and microfiber cloths to avoid scratches and ensure a sparkling finish. Banish Bad Odors To combat unwanted odors, try placing natural odor absorbers like baking soda or activated charcoal in discreet locations. Air out your car regularly or invest in an air purifier for persistent smells, especially if you have pets and transport them regularly in the car. Get Seat Covers and Floor Mats Add a touch of personality and protect your seats and floors with seat covers and floor mats. Choose from a variety of materials and styles to match your taste and driving habits, and talk to your Ford dealership about custom-fit, high-quality ones that are made to fit and perform in your vehicle specifically. Don't Neglect the Details Don't forget those often-neglected cup holders. Remove any debris and wipe them down with a damp cloth to prevent sticky stains and unpleasant odors. Door jambs also tend to collect dirt and grime over time. Use a small brush or vacuum attachment to clean these hidden areas. ​By following these simple steps and incorporating a bit of personal flair, you can transform your Ford's interior into a space that's comfortable, stylish, and truly your own.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Preventative maintenance is a range of services designed to reduce wear and tear on your car and keep it running efficiently. At your Ford dealership in Dahlonega, GA, we offer a wide range of services to keep your car in good condition. These are some of the procedures we can perform. Oil Change Oil is vital for your engine as it prevents rust, breaks down potential engine blockages, and lubricates all the moving components. It also plays a major role in reducing your engine temperature. Healthy oil is usually golden, but this color changes over time as the oil works. Oil needs to be regularly changed as it slowly loses many of its important properties. more Older oil thickens and moves more slowly, which reduces its ability to work effectively. Your engine will run less effectively, and components will suffer additional wear. When we perform an oil change, we check your oil's condition and then drain it. Checking the oil condition can help identify any potential engine problems. Once we replace your oil, we also install a new oil filter. Transmission Service Your transmission works hard to translate the power of your engine into energy to move the wheels. After your engine, it's the most complex part of your Ford. The transmission is a hot environment filled with hundreds of constantly moving parts, many of which depend on friction to work effectively. Transmission service prevents problems from developing in your transmission and allows it to keep working perfectly. In a transmission service, we drain the transmission fluid and check its condition. We also remove and examine the transmission filter, which filters dirt and other debris away from the transmission components. Our technicians will examine the gears and other transmission components for wear and replace any damaged ones. We then clean your transmission, install a new transmission filter, and refill the fluid. Tire Checks Your tires are subject to abrasion as you drive, and this will eventually cause the tread to wear down. The rubber is also affected by environmental factors like extreme heat or cold and even sunlight. These conditions slowly take their toll on your tires. In addition, other issues like poor tire balancing or alignment will increase tire wear. Our Ford-trained technicians will examine your tires for cracks, slow leaks, and other signs of damage. We'll check the pressure in your tires is correct, as over or under-inflated tires will wear out faster than they need to. We can also give you an assessment of the probable remaining lifespan of your tires. If you need replacement tires, we can fit them for you. Maintenance is an investment that always pays off in a smoother and safer driving experience. Call our service department today at Chestatee Ford.

The first Ford factory opened its doors in 1903, and since then, it's been a premier name in automotive design and engineering. The Model T, Ford's first mass-produced automobile, arguably changed the world. As your Ford dealership in Dahlonega, GA, we'd like to take you back in time to visit some of Ford's most classic cars. From Your Ford Dealership: 4 Ford Classic Cars of All Time Model T This classic model changed the world. It was relatively inexpensive for the time and made owning an automobile possible for millions of people. With increased numbers of automobiles on the road, the road network expanded, and more and more communities in the US were linked together in the process. More than 16.5 million Model T's were built, and they changed the world forever. The Model T was sturdy, dependable, and powered by an advanced engine for the time. While it might seem low-powered today, its 2.9L I-4 could produce 20 hp, with 83lb of torque, and reach a top speed of 45mph. more Ford Thunderbird The 1950s saw a growing demand for automobiles. Increased salaries, more leisure time, and the growth of the highway system meant more people wanted to get out on the road. The Ford Thunderbird filled this demand perfectly. It was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for taking your family anywhere you wanted to go. The Thunderbird was powered by a 4.8L V8 Y-block engine, that produced 193 hp and 280lb of torque. It could reach a top speed of 108mph. Ford Mustang Let's skip ahead a decade to 1964, and the launch of the Ford Mustang. It was launched as a small, affordable, yet powerful sports car aimed at younger buyers. It proved so popular that the Mustang is now in its seventh generation and still delighting drivers with its stylish looks and excellent handling. The original Mustang had a 4.7L V8 small-block engine, which produced 271 hp with 316lb of torque. It could reach a top speed of 100 mph. Ford Bronco The year 1965 introduced a new type of vehicle, the SUV. There was demand for a vehicle that could operate both on and off-road, with a large cargo capacity, and yet still be stylish and comfortable for everyday family use. Ford's designers got to work, and the Ford Bronco was born. It was built to a sturdy, boxy design that would define all SUVs for the future. The fBroncosnco's were powered by a 2.8L straight 6, and ​additional engine options soon followed to give drivers even more power. Numerous options were also offered, including bucket seats, tow bars, and CB radios. We hope you've ​enjoyed this look at some of the many classic vehicles from days gone by.

When it's time for a new car, you will have to choose whether to buy or lease your new Ford. There are certainly advantages and disadvantages to both financing options. Fortunately, your Ford dealership can make your auto financing process simple. Buying a new car is a good option if you want to customize the vehicle with aftermarket parts or if you expect to own the vehicle for more than three or four years. It makes sense to buy a car if you have a commute, or you expect you will need to drive more than 10,000 to 12,000 miles a year, since purchasing your vehicle means you will have unlimited miles. more Leasing a Ford makes more sense if you like to have the most updated model, or you prefer to drive a car that is continually under factory warranty. You may also want to consider leasing if you plan to keep your vehicle in good condition to minimize wear and tear. Leasing may also be a good idea if you are unable to gather a sizable down payment, since leasing a car is generally cheaper. Can You Buy or Lease With Ford Credit? Whether you lease or buy your new Ford, you should consider financing your vehicle purchase with Ford Credit. With an auto loan from Ford, you will be able to enjoy flexible loan terms and interest rates. For car buyers, Ford Credit auto loans help you build vehicle equity. For drivers who lease, Ford Credit allows you to select an ideal mileage limitation and offers a variety of lease-end choices. What Is the Financing Process Like at Your Ford Dealership? Financing your new Ford at the dealership is a streamlined process. First, you can submit an online application to be pre-approved for a loan to start your financing process. When you understand what you can afford, it makes shopping for your next Ford exponentially easier. After auto loan pre-approval, you can hammer out the details of your financing terms with the dealership. Financing through your dealership is a great option if you are trying to build credit, recover your credit, or you simply have a low credit score. The finance experts at the dealership will get you the most competitive rate based on your credit history. Using financing deals like a trade-in can make purchasing or leasing your new Ford more affordable. The choice of whether to lease or buy your new Ford will ultimately depend on your car ownership preferences and goals. Either way you go, dealership financing deals with Ford Credit make purchasing a new car a breeze. Check out your easy financing options when you contact Chestatee Ford today.

When looking at Ford vehicles for your next ride, you have to decide whether to go for a new or used one. Both options have great advantages, which can make the decision-making process difficult. So before you visit your local Ford dealer for a purchase, here are a few factors to help you choose wisely. 1. Budget and Financing When deciding between a new and used car, you should consider your budget and ability to get financing. New cars are costly upfront, but they also come with financing offers and incentives from the dealer. If you have good credit, you can get vehicle financing with little or no down payment. If you have no trade-in equity and are unable to get a good financing deal because of poor credit, you should consider getting a used Ford. Used Fords are cheaper upfront, which makes it easier to come up with a reasonable down payment. With the low initial cost, you will be able to pay off the used car faster than if you opted for a new one. more 2. Lifestyle and Preferences Do you want to experience the feel and excitement of driving a new Ford off the dealership lot? Are you big on the latest technology features and interior upgrades? If so, buying new allows you to experience the latest model and the newest tech features and upgrades Ford has to offer. If you need a practical and reliable vehicle that gets the job done, a used Ford is a solid choice. The used car market has numerous models for you to explore. You can even opt for newer Ford models that are a few years old. For thousands less, you will enjoy advanced Ford technologies without incurring the huge cost of a new ride. 3. Depreciation Considerations New vehicles undergo a rapid depreciation of up to 20% in the first year alone. If you are concerned about depreciation, you should opt for a used Ford. Once the initial buyer takes the hit on the initial depreciation, you will get the car for a lot less than if you bought it new. You can also sell the Ford at any time without worrying as much about taking a loss. 4. Reliability and Performance Buying a new Ford guarantees excellent performance and reliability. The factory warranty offers further peace of mind and guarantees that any underlying defects will be fixed at no cost to you. However, this doesn't mean that used cars aren't reliable. Well-maintained used Fords can still deliver years of solid reliability and performance. If you need assurance, you can opt for a certified pre-owned (CPO) model from your local dealer. Ford offers a 12-month extended warranty on certified preowned vehicles, ensuring you are covered if defects occur. Consider these factors when deciding whether to buy a used or new Ford. Stop by Chestatee Ford and check out our extensive collection of new, used, and certified pre-owned vehicles.
