Can I prevent engine sludge in my Ford?

Yes, regular oil changes really ARE important! If you’re driving around with old motor oil, the broken-down fluid (and resulting debris) isn’t protecting your engine parts. In fact, it may even be causing slow damage to your Ford Escort’s engine! Routine oil changes may seem like an insignificant maintenance task, but trust us – your future self will thank you.

Do I need to follow Ford's recommended maintenance schedule?

Yes! Ford has written a maintenance schedule for your Escort. Since they made your vehicle, they know it well! Your manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule gives you solid guidelines for the frequency of specific services, and it can help you know when to replace certain parts before they cause secondary issues in your car.

How much information should I provide the technician about my Ford?

No one likes having to get repair service on their trusty Ford Escort, but you can help minimize the hassle. As soon as you notice something that doesn’t seem right in your vehicle, make a note of the date and what happens (and write it down so you don’t forget!). Are there new noises coming from the engine? Does something smell funny in your A/C vents? The more information you can give to your technician, the better! We’ll be able to find the root of the problem quickly and address it before it gets any worse.

Ford Brake Repair Services

Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care when you need brake repair work. We can take care of several brake repair services for your 1983 Ford Escort, like brake drum and rotor resurfacing, replacement of brake shoes and pads, wheel cylinder and brake caliper installation, and brake fluid exchange. Don't wait if you're experiencing brake squeaks or a loss of braking power. It can be dangerous to drive with unresponsive or compromised brakes. Consider, too, that lingering brake problems could cause more expensive parts to wear out, so it’s best to address brake symptoms early.

It doesn’t matter how your vehicle performs if you can’t start it. Trust our starting and charging repair services to get your Ford Escort back on the road. We’ll start with a thorough check of your battery, alternator, and starter to figure out where the root of your Escort’s electrical problem lies. If something is wrong with any of these parts, a technician will talk to you about the different options you have when it comes to replacing or repairing a bad alternator or starter in your 1983 Ford Escort.

Reliable Ford Engine Repair

One of our lead technicians, Alex, says, "The engine is the lifeblood of America. It’s what moves this country, what built this country.” He's right!

Ford Radiator Repair

The radiator is an important piece of your vehicle’s cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. When your radiator fails or malfunctions, your chances of an overheated (and broken down) engine go way up. In order to keep your engine in excellent shape for years to come, radiator repair is crucial. Additionally, Ford’s maintenance guidelines recommend that you replace the coolant in your 1983 Ford Escort at regular intervals. If you have coolant leaks under your car, an illuminated “low coolant” light, or a higher than usual engine temperature on your dashboard thermometer, these signs could indicate that your radiator needs service.
