Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac for factory-recommended routine maintenance and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Explorer Sport Trac. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Your Ford Explorer Sport Trac could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
