Now that warm temperatures are here, making sure your Ford vehicle is properly maintained is essential. The hot weather can put extra strain on your car's systems, making seasonal maintenance even more important. At Lewis and Clark Ford Lincoln INC., we're committed to helping drivers stay safe on the road throughout the summer months.

Check Your Air Conditioning System

Nothing ruins a summer drive faster than a malfunctioning air conditioning system. Have your AC inspected to make sure it's blowing cold air efficiently. Drivers in Yankton, SD know how important a working AC system is during those hot summer days. Our certified technicians can check refrigerant levels and inspect components for optimal performance.

We Can Inspect Your Tires and Check Tire Pressure

Hot pavement can cause tire pressure to fluctuate, which affects fuel efficiency and safety. Ask us to check your tire pressure and inspect tread depth to assure proper traction. Residents from Vermillion, SD can count on our service team to thoroughly examine their tires and make recommendations for safe summer driving.

Monitor Coolant and Fluid Levels

Your Ford cooling system works overtime during summer months to prevent overheating. We can check coolant levels and make sure the mixture is appropriate for hot weather conditions. Customers from Saint Helena, NE trust our experts to perform comprehensive fluid checks and flushes they need.

Battery Inspection and Maintenance

Extreme heat can be just as damaging to your battery as cold weather. Have your battery tested to make sure it holds a proper charge and have us inspect terminals for corrosion. Ford owners from Harrington, NE visit our service center for thorough battery assessments before summer road trips.

Don't Forget Wiper Blades and Brake Inspection

Summer storms can appear suddenly, making functional wiper blades essential for visibility. In addition, have your brakes inspected to check for safe stopping power. Drivers from Bloomfield, NE appreciate our comprehensive vehicle inspections that cover these critical safety components.
