Importance of Routine Ford Maintenance

After investing in a new-to-you Ford vehicle, the best way to keep it running like new is to take care of it. The Hilltop Ford team near Berkeley has the state-of-the-art tools and equipment needed to help keep it running like new. Our factory-trained and certified technicians know the engineering in your Ford, and our knowledgeable service advisors can guide you through maintenance and service visits. We want to help make your Ford ownership experience convenient and stress-free for many years to come.

Following the Recommended Vehicle Maintenance Schedule

Your Ford has an owner’s manual filled with details about recommended services. Most vehicles need routine service visits between 3,000 and 10,000 miles. These routine visits serve as checkups where our service team inspects wear-and-tear components and reports back on what your Ford needs.

The Hilltop Ford service advisors are dedicated to helping Ford owners understand what their vehicles need. They know the recommended service needs, and they work with you to provide the best car based on your driving needs and your vehicle’s mileage. For example, if you use your Ford Bronco for towing and rock crawling, you might need more frequent tire rotations and tire pressure checks. Your service advisor might recommend more frequent inspections of your coolant system, serpentine belts and hoses, and air filters, too.

The factory-trained and certified technicians at Hilltop Ford use only genuine OEM parts from Ford Motor Company. These precision-engineered parts come from Ford factories, so they fit perfectly. Our Hilltop Ford service team also receives regular training to stay up to date on servicing innovative EVs like the Ford Mach-E and the F-150 Lightning.
