If you want your vehicle to remain reliable and roadworthy you should get regular services done. These services ensure that the vehicle is roadworthy, reliable, and operates as originally intended. Servicing also allows Ford technicians to identify if there are any problems with the vehicle or if any components have become worn out and need replacing. This will ensure that you always use genuine Ford parts and yet your vehicle will not cost you an arm and a leg.
You should always ensure that repairs and services are done by registered Ford technicians like the ones we have here at North Western Ford. We are committed to your protection, your cars performance and your safety. Ensure that your vehicle is only fitted with genuine Ford parts so that it runs longer. Genuine parts have been engineered and tested to meet the design of Ford vehicles’ design standards. We have confidence in the quality and performance of our products.
Quality vehicle servicing is of the utmost importance when it comes to ensuring that you stay safe and that your vehicle remains in its best possible condition. Without regular services vehicles can deteriorate and depreciate, resulting in loss of value and a dangerous drive.

Oil Levels
Check the engine's oil level each time a tank of fuel is purchased, or once a month. Regular oil changes can reduce engine wear and make the vehicle run cooler and last longer.
If the oil is too high or too low, it can cause trouble for your engine. To check the oil, park on level ground and wait until the engine has cooled down after driving, then locate the dipstick. Pull it out and wipe it clean, then push it all the way back in until the top of it is seated properly in the dip tube again. Wait a moment then pull it out again. Check the level of the oil. If it's between the high and low marks, you're fine.
Brake Pads
Inspect the brake pads and rotors to ensure they’re still looking good. You can do this by removing the tire. If the brake pads are showing wear to the extent that you can't see much of the pad, it’s time to replace them.
Tyre Pressure
Check your tyre pressures regularly - once a week is ideal. Bad tyre pressures can affect fuel economy, handling and comfort. It's easy to do and there is no excuse not to
Parking Tip
Parking your car in the shade prevents interior damage by UV rays and protects your car’s paint job. If a shaded area is not available, use a car shade to minimise the sun’s impact.

When to say goodbye
Most cars can and will run for decades, but there are certain circumstances when it’s time to let go. If your car is involved in a severe accident that bends the frame or body structure, it might be difficult to repair the car to like-new condition
