Ford Service: Getting Your Car Ready for Spring

With extreme temperatures and nasty weather, Nebraska winters are no picnic. Thankfully they don’t last forever, and spring’s warmer temperatures mean a long drive is the best cure for cabin fever. The Woodhouse Ford of Omaha team makes it easy to get the Ford service you need for safer driving this season and in the following months. 

Tires

Even routine driving takes its toll on traction, but cold, ice, and salt are especially harsh on your tires. If you switched to snow tires, it’s time to switch back. If you retained your all-season tires, it’s time for an inspection.

• Check tread depth to make sure it’s adequate
• Check the sidewalls and other areas for damage
• Ensure that tire pressure is appropriate for the warmer weather

Remember, a car can hydroplane in even a minor puddle and even at low speeds. Good tire health is vital to your vehicle’s handling, stopping capabilities, and overall safety.

Batteries

Most car batteries have a lifespan of up to 5 years, but temperature extremes translate to more strain. If it has been several years since your battery was replaced, you will undoubtedly want to have it checked. Getting caught out in the middle of a trip with a dead battery can be a massive headache. Our service professionals can quickly diagnose whether it’s time for a replacement.

Other Essentials

Your tires and battery may be the most essential maintenance items, but other things could use a checkup and routine service. Among them:

• Air conditioning
• Brakes
• Filters
• Belts
• Hoses
