The harsh Michigan winters can really do a number on cars, even if you don’t do a lot of driving. Your vehicle has faced some challenging conditions over the past few months, between the cold temps, snow, ice, and salt-covered roads. That’s why our spring service is so important; it helps get your SUV or truck ready for the warmer weather ahead after being battered all winter long.

Our Spring Service Covers All the Bases for Your Ford Vehicle

Our Ford factory-trained technicians will thoroughly inspect, test, and service the following systems and components to ensure your vehicle is ready for spring:

  • Oil and filter change to refresh your engine with clean oil
  • Battery and charging system testing to uncover any issues
  • Tire inspection and rotation for maximum tread life
  • Fluid top-off of all levels to prevent low fluid operation
  • Complete A/C system inspection and recharge if needed
  • New wiper blades installation for clearer visibility
  • Brake inspection to ensure proper operation
  • Suspension inspection to check for winter damage
  • Exhaust system inspection for leaks or damage

This comprehensive spring maintenance helps ensure your Ford will be safe, comfortable, and reliable all spring and summer as you enjoy the warm weather across the Tawas City region. Proper servicing prevents breakdowns and keeps you on the road.

Beat the Michigan Heat with a Fresh A/C Recharge

A fully functional air conditioning system is crucial for staying cool and comfortable in your Ford truck, car, or SUV during the hot summer months we experience near Alger, MI. Our spring service includes a thorough A/C system inspection and recharge, if needed, with fresh refrigerant. This step ensures your system is ready to keep you cool when the temperatures rise.

Signs your A/C system may need service include:

  • Lack of cold air or intermittent cooling
  • Strange smells from the A/C vents
  • Excessive moisture or fogging from the vents

Don’t sweat it this summer; let our Ford experts ensure your A/C stays charged and ready for warm weather.

Fresh Wiper Blades Mean Clearer Visibility for Your Family Travel Adventures

Checking your car’s windshield wiper blades is another important part of spring service. After months of wiping away snow, ice, and salt spray, your blades are probably worn out. Our technicians will expertly install a fresh set of Ford wiper blades designed specifically for your vehicle.

New wiper blades provide:

  • Clearer visibility in spring rains and summer storms
  • Better wiping performance across the entire windshield
  • Longer blade life compared to worn-out blades

Make sure you can see clearly during Pinconning’s unpredictable spring weather. Have us install new wiper blades today.
