When you’re planning your resolutions for the New Year, don’t forget about your Ford maintenance goals! These resolutions will help you keep your car or truck running its best for heavy-duty work in the year ahead. From service stops at Hall Ford Elizabeth City to at-home maintenance, these habits will help you cruise through 2026 problem-free.
Track Scheduled Maintenance
Missing scheduled maintenance intervals can lead to an expensive breakdown. Set a reminder with the FordPass® app and never miss a tune-up again! Your app can remind you of your service calendar, schedule a visit directly in the app, and track your service history to make maintenance easy.
Take Care of Your Tires
Your tires are where the mighty power of your Ford engine is transmitted to the road, so make sure they’re in good condition all year round. As temperatures start to warm up in the new year, the air inside the tires will expand and raise their pressure, which can lead to overinflation and blowouts. Keep a pressure tester in your glovebox, checking periodically to make sure it’s in the optimal range, and don’t forget about tire rotations to evenly distribute wear.
Pay Attention to Warning Lights
It’s easy to ignore a warning light—until that warning becomes a full-blown problem. If a warning light pops on in the new year, resolve to have it checked out as soon as possible. It may just be a faulty sensor, but it may also be the warning sign that avoids major repairs down the road.
