The works : how to maintain your Ford

When it comes to maintaining your Ford, there's no room for compromise. For your driving pleasure, and more importantly for your safety, consider The Works, our comprehensive service package that will get you on the road with confidence. From oil and filter changes to detailed inspections and tire rotations, it's everything you need to have peace of mind behind the wheel of your vehicle.

An 83-point inspection

When you bring your car to your Ford Service Centre, one of our certified experts will perform a complete and thorough 83-point inspection. Starting with the exterior, he will first note all signs of damage, whether it's to the body, the brakes or even the tires. He will measure the wear of the tires and examine the brakes to improve handling and road holding.

 

Then comes time to look under the hood. Nothing will go unnoticed by our qualified technicians as they inspect all the important mechanical parts of your Ford. In addition to a battery test and recharge, they will check the air filter, exhaust system, and engine belts. This is also an excellent opportunity to have your oil and filter changed. With the Works, Motorcraft synthetic blend oil and Motorcraft or Omnicraft filters are included!

 

And it's not over yet, because the interior still needs to be inspected! Every system that makes it so comfortable will be assessed. These include the steering wheel controls and the steering wheel itself, the seat adjustment system and even the infotainment system.

One sheet to know everything

Following this thorough examination of all your car's components, our mechanical expert will give you an inspection sheet detailing the results. Do not hesitate to ask for explanations on the 83 points describing the condition of your Ford! With a three-colour evaluation system (red, yellow, and green), it's easy to understand what you need to do.

 

First, if it's green, everything is fine! You can hit the road without worrying about it. When it’s yellow, it's time to keep an eye out: repairs might be necessary one day!  And be careful if it's red: this is an emergency repair, and we strongly recommend that you have it done before you hit the road.

Daily maintenance

Remember that the maintenance of your vehicle does not stop once you leave the service point!  It's a daily responsibility that our certified technicians will help you prepare for, with pleasure. To help you identify problems as early as possible, it’s important to give your Ford regular checkups yourself.

 

During this inspection, be sure to check your engine oil and windshield washer fluid levels; this could save you from unpleasant surprises! Also, check the wear and pressure of your tires; do not forget the spare tire!  Finally, complete this check by testing the operation of your lights.
