Maintaining your vehicle
Routine maintenance, such as oil changes, having fluids checked/flushed and tune- ups, can greatly increase your vehicleās performance and reliability as well as greatly extend its life. Failing to properly service your vehicle can result in increased repair costs, as well as greatly reduce its value for a future sale or trade-in.
Oil Change
Todayās vehicle engines generally have extended oil-change intervals beyond 3,000 miles, so it is recommended that you consult the specific maintenance schedule interval in your vehicleās owner manual.
At Ron DuPratt Ford, an oil change is so much more than just an oil change. When you come in for The WorksĀ® you receive a complete vehicle checkup that includes a synthetic blend oil change, tire rotation and pressure check, brake inspection, Multi-Point Inspection, fluid top-off, battery test, and filter, belts and hoses check ā all for a very competitive price.

Belts and Hoses
Belts and hoses play an integral part in your vehicleās performance. As belts age, the rubber becomes brittle, causing it to crack. If the belt is showing signs of wear on its outer edge, this is also a sign that it will need to be replaced.
Since coolant temperature is about 200 degrees, the hoses that carry it are extremely important. A belt or hose failure can cause loss of both power steering and the electrical charging system, as well as an overheated engine. If your engine overheats, this can cause the cylinder heads to warp, resulting in a very expensive repair.
Hoses are generally inspected for softness and swelling, hardening, cracks, chafing and heat damage. If any of these issues are detected, your hoses will need to be replaced.


Brakes
Brake issues can start out small but worsen over time. Waiting to have them repaired can greatly increase the costs involved. Having your brakes inspected during a routine maintenance visit can help save you both time and money.
Discs should be inspected for rough spots, warping or damage. If they are shiny and show little signs of wear, maintenance is likely not needed. If they are damaged or warped, these parts should be resurfaced or replaced immediately.
Your vehicle has rubber and metal brake lines and both can crack and leak. Our technicians will first examine the rubber hoses to ensure they are soft and donāt have cracks. Theyāll then check the hard metal brake lines for corrosion and leaking. If either is damaged, replacement is recommended.
Battery
Todayās vehicles are loaded with technology. Thatās why itās more important than ever to ensure your battery operates at peak performance. At Ron DuPratt Ford, we know exactly what battery is needed for your specific vehicle and can help guide you through what can be a somewhat complex process.


Tires
Maintaining your tires not only helps keep you safe, it also helps your vehicle run more efficiently and extends the life of the tires themselves.
Following these simple steps will help ensure you get the most out of your tires:
- Have your tires rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles ā see tire manufacturer for specific recommendations.
- Check the pressure of all tires, including your spare, at least once a month when the tires are ācold,ā meaning that the vehicle hasnāt been driven for at least three hours. Recommended air pressure for your tires can be found on the placard typically placed on the driverās side doorjamb.
- Have your tires inspected during every service visit.
