How to Prepare Your Ford Vehicle for Summer Vacations

Summer vacations are just around the corner, so it's time to make sure your Ford vehicle is ready for departure so you can enjoy a pleasant, carefree vacation. Here's how:

Make an appointment with our service department

Our after-sales service department is the ideal choice for the inspection and maintenance of your Ford vehicle this summer, because our experienced technicians know your vehicle inside out and use only genuine Ford parts that meet all the manufacturer's standards. A pre-trip inspection allows us to find and rectify any potential problems that could spoil your vacation, so you can leave in peace and enjoy your time with family and friends. During this inspection, our technicians also check the pressure and wear of your tires, which is all the more important as correctly inflated tires save you fuel and last longer, especially on long motorway journeys. The state of the battery is also an important factor that is often overlooked before summer trips, which is a mistake. In fact, high temperatures are just as damaging to car batteries as the cold.

Have your vehicle detailed inside and out

It's much nicer to go on vacation with a clean vehicle, but you probably don't have the time or inclination to wash it yourself. Our detailing department can give your Ford a makeover, inside and out. In addition to making your vehicle look like new again, a deep wash protects your vehicle by removing contaminants that can damage the paintwork, such as stubborn salt marks, mud, and natural residues.

Don't forget your first-aid kit

Even well-informed drivers can face unforeseen circumstances, so it's always a good idea to have a first-aid kit in your vehicle. Some items that should be in your kit include jumper cables, gloves, a flashlight, a first-aid kit, and water reserves. Don't forget your phone chargers either!

Following these recommendations should help you enjoy vacations with your Ford vehicle to the fullest.
