How to Ensure Your Ford Vehicle is Ready for Summer Vacations

Summer vacations are fast approaching and like many Canadians, you will probably take to the road for a family road trip. If this is the case, you should make sure your Ford vehicle is ready to take you on any adventure. Here’s how.

Have your vehicle maintained and inspected

In order to avoid potential problems out on the road, our service department can perform all of the necessary maintenance as well as a thorough pre-trip inspection. This inspection allows our qualified technicians to take a close look at all of the major systems of your vehicle such as the tires, the brakes, the suspension, the air conditioning, and the cooling system. This makes sure you and your family will be safe and comfortable on any summer trip, whether it is two hours or ten hours long. As mentioned, the tires are part of the pre-trip inspection because it is very important for them to be properly inflated and in good condition in order to reduce the risks of a blowout.

Consider having it detailed inside and out

The beginning of summer vacation is the ideal time to have your vehicle detailed by our team. Indeed, having your Ford car, truck, or SUV professionally detailed allows it to look its best both inside and out while also protecting it against paint damage or corrosion. This is because a thorough cleaning can remove contaminants in difficult-to-reach places where they can hold moisture and damage the paint finish. Of course, having a clean interior also makes for a more pleasant and relaxing driving experience for your vacations.

Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle

Despite being prepared, you might still be faced with unpredictable situations. This is why you should always have an emergency kit in your Ford vehicle which contains items such as gloves, a flashlight, a raincoat, booster cables, and a first-aid kit.

We hope these tips will help you enjoy your summer vacation in your Ford vehicle!
