The warm summer months are firmly in the rearview mirror, and as we begin to see the leaves fall and the wind pick up near Mesick and Interlochen, it's time to start thinking about prepping your Ford for the incoming winter. At Fox Grand Traverse, our service center in Traverse City specializes in servicing every type of Ford vehicle and has the tools and expertise to ensure you can drive with confidence this holiday season.
Why it's Important to Service Your Ford Before Winter Comes
Although the weather is mostly mild right now, the time to prepare your vehicle for the winter is now. Being proactive about your auto service is always better than waiting until something goes wrong. In many ways, no form of auto service echoes this sentiment better than winter maintenance as the weather has a way of making everything a lot more difficult.
What Winter Weather Jobs You Should Take Care Of
There are two major factors that every driver around Suttons Bay and Manton should ensure they have taken care of before winter arrives, tire care and battery service. Our staff of factory-certified technicians can perform inspections on both and give you an honest assessment as to their integrity. If it's been a while, we can perform a battery swap to ensure you don't find yourself struggling to start your car on a frigid Monday morning.
If it's been a while, it might be a good idea to get a tire rotation to ensure even wear on your tread, which will be vital to ensure you always have optimal traction. If your tread has worn down, we highly recommend swapping your tires for a new set. Or, if you want an extra layer of protection, our service center can equip your Ford with a set of winter tires to ensure maximum performance and handling in inclement weather.
