Clean Off Your Ford’s Body

Winter can often be quite the hazardous time of year, especially for your vehicle. Salt, snow, sleet, and ice can all do damage to your Ford, both cosmetically and in terms of overall performance. Now that it’s subsided, it’s never been a better time to clean your model both inside and out. You might want to get your car a good wash and wax as well; not only does it end up looking much better, but you can also expect better fuel efficiency!

Replace Engine and Drivetrain Fluids

Cold, dry air can do a serious number on your vehicle’s fluids, such as oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid and coolant. With the weather set to warm up again, however, you’ll want to get a fresh supply of each as soon as possible. Come see our Sherwood Ford team to get this taken care of; we’ll get you back out on the road with confidence, and we’ll even take care of battery replacement if you need it!

The sun is due back any minute now, which makes it a great time to get your vehicle cleaned (and aired) out. New air fresheners and a spotless interior can help you to enjoy the daily drive that much more, even in just an emotional capacity.
