Take care of your Ford Escort and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Escort has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more.

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Ford, your vehicle manufacturer.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1999 Ford Escort and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Escort’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1999 Ford Escort be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Escort stranded. Your Ford Escort could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 1999 Ford Escort's engine run smoother.
