Your car is a big investment, so it makes sense to take good care of it. One of the best ways to do this is by following a regular car maintenance schedule with your Ford dealer. Here are a few tips for keeping your vehicle running smoothly!
Change Your Oil Regularly
Regular oil changes are one of the most important things you can do for your vehicle. Oil is a lubricant that protects the engine from wear, so it’s vital for keeping your engine moving smoothly.
Check Your Tire Pressure
Checking your tire pressure is an essential part of your vehicle maintenance routine. It’s easy to do and could save you from a costly repair later. To check tire pressure, use a digital or analog gauge that measures PSI (pounds per square inch). Check your car manual or inside the car door to get the correct tire pressure for your vehicle.

Car AC Not Working? Visit Your Dahlonega Ford Dealer
Your car AC not working during a hot Georgia day can make life unpleasant. When the temperature starts climbing, you need your AC to be cold. As your Ford dealer in Dahlonega, GA, we can fix any AC problem for you. These are a few of the signs that your AC needs to be fixed.
Bad Smells From the AC
When your windows are rolled up and the AC is on, the last thing you want is bad smells blowing into the cabin. The smell is caused by bacteria or mold that’s found its way into your AC system. The AC system is dark and can have unevaporated water in it. This makes the AC a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, fungus, and other microorganisms.
This problem is more common in older vehicles but can also be found in any car when the AC is routinely cranked to the maximum. The high setting can create extra water that may not evaporate before you switch off the AC. To clean the system we’ll replace the air filter and add an anti-bacterial solution to the evaporator. You’ll have cold, pleasant-smelling air in no time.
