Signs You Need a Brake Repair at Your Ford Dealer
Brake servicing is an important part of your Ford maintenance. Well-maintained brakes will respond quickly and bring your car to a stop almost immediately. Worn or damaged brake components increase the chances of an accident when you’re driving, as your brakes won’t respond as they should. As your Ford dealer, we’d like you to know some signs that you need to visit us for a brake repair.

5 Signs Your Ford Needs a New Car Battery
Is your vehicle having a little difficulty starting? Does it take a couple of tries to get the engine to engage? This may be a sign that your battery needs to be replaced. Batteries tend to die at the most inconvenient times, which is why it’s a good idea to replace them before you’re stranded. If you know what to look for, you can usually spot early signs that it’s time for a new car battery from your trusted Ford Service Center.
