What is Included in a Ford Service?
When you bring your Ford to us for a service, you can expect our manufacturer-trained technicians to check your vehicle’s vitals to ensure the best possible performance. During your car’s service, our technicians will look at your filters, oil, and fluids before moving on to the more in-depth vehicle checks. Below are some of the services you can expect.
Filter & Oil ChangeWith every annual scheduled service, your oil and oil filter will be changed and replaced to make sure your Ford is running in peak condition. |
Air Filter CheckDuring your service, we will always check the condition of your air filter. Blocked filters make your engine work harder and produce more CO2.

What are the Recommended Ford Service Intervals?
Maintaining your vehicle through regular servicing is crucial for its longevity and can enhance its resale value if you choose to sell it later. The specific service intervals for your vehicle are tailored based on the engine type, transmission, mileage, and how you use your car. It's important to refer to your owner's manual or the FordPass App for the most accurate service schedule, as these intervals can vary among different models and may change over time. Additionally, vehicles that are used less frequently or for short trips may require more frequent servicing due to increased engine wear from constant stopping and starting. For the most current information on service intervals, contacting your dealer is also a recommended option.
