Visit Kearny Mesa Ford to schedule these Ford service tasks before your next winter road trip.

Oil Change

It’s best to change your oil before you head out on a long road trip. Fresh, clean oil will keep your engine running smoothly during the colder weather.

Brakes

A long road trip means plenty of stopping and slowing down, so your brakes must be in tip-top shape. That’s why you should bring your Ford vehicle in for brake service before you drive off. This includes examining and replacing brake pads and ensuring enough brake fluid is in the reservoir.

Heating and Air Conditioning

The worst thing most drivers can imagine is being stuck in a car with no heating during the winter. If you’ve noticed any heating or air conditioning problems, bring your vehicle in for service immediately.

Tires

As the weather gets cooler, the air pressure in your tires will naturally reduce. That’s why checking tire pressure frequently and refilling the air when needed is critical. You should also check your tires for uneven wear and tear or see if any leaks have formed.

Antifreeze

If your road trip takes you to a much colder location, your antifreeze must be up to the task. True to its name, it helps your engine regulate temperature to maintain efficient operation.
