Tire Rotations
Tire rotations not only extend the life of your tires, but they also give you a smoother ride. A smoother ride is easier on your suspension, reducing the need for a wheel alignment. A tire rotation also helps to maintain healthy tire treads and prevent uneven tire wear. It is best to get a tire rotation at least once a year at our service center to keep your tires in the best condition possible. You can also consult your owner's manual to determine the recommended tire rotation schedule.
Oil Changes
An oil change is an essential maintenance service that keeps your engine operating smoothly and efficiently. Oil change intervals will vary, but most manufacturers recommend changing the oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Ford's engines can run at optimal levels with frequent oil changes. So, schedule your oil change at Gem City Ford to keep your Ford running well.
Transmission Service
The transmission is one of the most important components of your Ford. It ensures your engine operates at the correct rate of speed to prevent the engine from destroying itself. Our service center provides preventative transmission maintenance services. Along with changing the transmission fluid, we inspect various parts of the transmission to ensure they function properly. Plus, our technicians will look for metal fragments and friction damage within the transmission. If your transmission exhibits severe wear, we will let you know and advise you of our repair services.
Brake Service
Brakes are one of the most important safety features of your Ford near Pittsfield, so they must be in good condition. Having them checked regularly is a great way to help you drive safely. Brake noises indicate that your braking system needs servicing. For example, a grinding or high-pitched screeching sound may indicate rotor or pad damage. When this happens, the brakes may fail. The professional technicians at Gem City Ford can perform thorough brake inspections and make any necessary maintenance repairs on your Ford.
Battery Inspection
The battery generates the engine's electrical current to operate. It also provides electricity to power the interior and exterior lights, the heating and air conditioning system, and the audio infotainment system. The average lifespan of a battery is three to five years. When you notice the lights in your Ford are dim, you have trouble starting your Ford, or you are having difficulties operating other electrical components in your vehicle, it may be time to replace your battery. You can visit our service center to have one of our technicians inspect your battery and replace it if necessary.
