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.
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.
