At Bob Davidson Ford Lincoln in Baltimore, MD, we're a family-owned business that believes in helping our customers make the most of their transportation. That's why we're inviting you to make some resolutions for the new year that will help your Ford or Lincoln last longer and perform better. In addition to resolving that you'll give your Ford or Lincoln regular maintenance, you might also want to use your tax refund to get a better car. Here are some suggested resolutions to help you start off the new year on the right foot.
New Year's Resolution #1: Give your Ford or Lincoln regular oil changes
The oil in your Ford F-150 or Ford Explorer helps cleanse your engine from all the dust, dirt and grime that can accumulate on vital internal components. With the passage of time, the motor oil in your Ford truck or Lincoln SUV can build up its own share of dirt and grime, causing it to wear out and lose its effectiveness. Resolve to bring your Ford or Lincoln to our service center for a regular oil change. One of our certified Ford technicians will drain the old, dirty fluid and fill your crankcase with fresh new synthetic oil. We recommend getting your oil changed every 5,000 miles.
New Year's Resolution #2: Let us check your antifreeze
Winter can get pretty cold here in local communities like Middle River or White Marsh and that's why it's important that you have us take a look at your coolant, or antifreeze. If your antifreeze is starting to wear out, it can cause damage to your radiator and even your engine, causing it to overheat. One of our factory-trained Ford service experts can drain out the old worn-out antifreeze and fill your radiator with a new injection of high-quality coolant.
New Year's Resolution #3: Have us check your windshield wiper fluid
Wintertime storms in Towson can pelt your windshield with a massive amount of snow, sleet, rain or even mud. It's important that your windshield wiper reservoir has plenty of clean wiper fluid available. Then when you run into a snow or rain storm, you can spray on all the wiper fluid you need to help give you plenty of visibility. That can help keep you and your family safe even when you're plowing through the worst that winter can throw at you.
New Year's Resolution #4: Ask us to check your Ford or Lincoln's battery
The battery in your Ford Bronco or Bronco Sport is engineered to last a long time but it can gradually wear out and you may not notice until it's too late. Instead of waiting until your battery simply won't start your car, make a resolution that you'll have us give your current battery a load test to be sure it has enough power to keep starting your vehicle. You don't want to be stranded with a bad battery when you're taking your Ford Bronco off-road. If you need a new battery, we have outstanding Ford Motorcraft® batteries in stock and we'll be happy to install one for you.
New Year’s Resolution #5: Take good care of your tires
To help your tires reach their maximum life expectancy, it's important that you get a regular tire rotation with every oil change. By repositioning all four tires on your Ford or Lincoln, you'll help your tires to wear more evenly and last longer. Another good New Year's resolution is to have us check your wheel alignment. When your wheels are out of alignment, your steering won't be as accurate and your tires won’t wear evenly. We can give you a professional alignment to get you back on track for the new year.
New Year's Resolution #6: Let your tax refund help you buy a new car
If you've been driving your current vehicle for a while, you might be thinking about getting something newer. The average American taxpayer gets a federal refund of several thousand dollars and that's enough to help you make a bigger down payment on a new Ford or Lincoln.
