When it comes to the Ford parts that will keep your vehicle operating at maximum capacity, Waconia Ford has you covered. We believe that a little service and car care can make a big difference. That’s why we’re sharing all you need to know about maintaining your vehicle at home, and the best Ford parts to keep around.

Ford Parts to Have on Hand

Ford service and care can help to keep your vehicle safe, efficient, and comfortable on every ride, and the right parts for the job are available here at Waconia Ford. Keep these essential pieces on hand for your vehicle’s safety and protection:

Oil Filter and Oil: Routine oil changes are key to vehicle health. Oil keeps the engine systems lubricated and cool, as well as collecting dirt and debris which kicks up from the road. The oil and filter will need to be cleaned when they get saturated, every 5,000-10,000 miles.

Air Filter: In addition to the oil filter, the air filter collects grime before it has the chance to damage the engine. The oil protects the car from the road dirt, and the air filter protects the engine from the dirt in the air. Air filters should be changed or cleaned around every 15,000 miles.

Windshield Wipers: Windshield wipers are essential for safe driving, especially in inclement weather. You’ll want to keep them on hand in the event your wipers become damaged or worn during a snowstorm or rainstorm.

Spare Tire: Every vehicle should have a spare tire in the event of damage. More importantly, you’ll want to make sure that the spare tire is as well-maintained as the tires currently on your vehicle. That way, if you ever need the part, you’ll know it’s in good shape.

What makes the Ford service at Waconia Ford really stand out from the competition? We’re the team you can trust for seasonal car care all year long, as well as high-quality parts and accessories that will keep your vehicle running right. And that’s not all. We’re also sharing tips and tricks for driving safely in even the most inclement winter weather.

What Should I Do If I Get Stuck in the Snow?

When it comes to safe winter driving, winter tires and emergency car kits can make a huge difference. You also want to know some methods for getting traction and getting your vehicle out on the road. These steps can help you if your vehicle gets stuck in the snow.

• Check Your Surroundings: While it’s usually safer to remain in your vehicle, always check your surroundings after your vehicle gets stuck. If the location isn’t safe, get to a clear spot before calling for help.
• Go Back and Forth: Rocking can be a useful way to get your vehicle unstuck from a snowbank or icy location. Very carefully drive forward and then reverse, taking care not to floor the gas pedal. If you notice one or more tires is spinning, stop the process.
• Add Traction: Vehicles often get stuck because they can’t get traction. You can add traction below your tires with the floor mats from your vehicle or kitty litter from your winter emergency driving kit.
• Push the Vehicle: Sometimes the best way to get your vehicle out of the snow is to push. Be very careful during this process and make sure you communicate with everyone on your team to keep everyone safe.

When it’s time for vehicle upgrades and repairs, the Ford parts center at Waconia Ford has what you need. We’re not just the team you can rely on for new and pre-owned cars, trucks, and SUVs. We’re also dedicated to keeping your vehicle safe, comfortable, and responsive for a long time to come, which is why we carry the Ford replacement parts you can rely on.

Common Ford Parts to Replace

There’s no better way to keep your vehicle running right than with routine service and care, and that includes part replacements and upgrades. Here are a few of the common Ford parts that will need to be replaced over time.

• Oil Filter: The oil in your vehicle works to keep the engine cool and parts lubricated so they don’t scratch or grind. It also collects the dirt and debris that kicks up from the road, which is why both the oil and oil filter need to be replaced regularly.
• Brake Pads: Your brake pads will wear down every 30,000-70,000 miles, depending on what kind of driving you do. If you hear grinding or squealing when you drive or notice your vehicle has a longer stopping distance, that’s a good indication that it’s time for new brake pads.
• Battery: Most car batteries will last three to five years, but that can vary based on driving style and outside environment. It’s a good idea to get regular battery inspections so you know when it’s time to upgrade.
• Tires: The tires on your new Ford are the first line of defense out on the open road. Car tires typically last up to six years, based on driving environment, but should never be used for longer than ten years.

When you’re ready to find a used Ford F-150 for sale, Waconia Ford has you covered. We believe great vehicles should be available at great prices. That’s why we carry a wide inventory of financing tools and resources, and why we carry pre-owned and Certified Pre-Owned vehicles here at our dealership. After all, there’s no better way to save than purchasing pre-owned.

How Can I Save With a Pre-Owned Ford F-150?

You might be wondering if purchasing a pre-owned vehicle is right for you, but the truth is that there are many great benefits to purchasing pre-owned vehicles, including the savings. Here are just a few of the ways you can save big when you buy a used Ford F-150.

• Your Down Payment is Lower: Pre-owned vehicles are inherently less expensive than new cars. That means you’ll have a lower down payment, so you won’t have to wait to save up for the next great car.
• Your Monthly Costs Are Smaller: In addition to a smaller down payment, you’ll also have smaller monthly costs. It will be easier to pay off your vehicle quickly, which means less accrued interest, as well.
• Your In-Between Costs Are Lower: You’ll also save on the in-between costs like insurance and sales tax, which can really add up when purchasing a vehicle.
• You’ll Have a Lower Rate of Depreciation: Most depreciation affects brand new vehicles, not pre-owned cars. That means you’ll see a lot more of your vehicle’s value returned to you if you plan to sell or trade-in down the line, which is capital that can be used for the next great car.

The Ford F-150 financing process is made easy here at Waconia Ford. Find the best ways to save on the vehicles you love at our dealership today.
