We know that high standards of quality and care can make the best auto repair shops stand out from the rest. You can drive easy knowing that Firestone Complete Auto Care has you covered for 1996 Ford Explorer repairs, including alignment adjustments, tire repairs, brake service, drivetrain work, and engine fixes. Read on to learn about each service.

Brake repair is one of the most important repairs you can invest in for one very simple reason: you rely on your brakes to safely bring your vehicle to a stop. Ford Explorer brake problems can put you at risk on the road. If you notice shaking when you depress your brake pedal, noise from your brakes, increased stop distance, or a brake light that’s lit up on your dashboard, don’t wait to have your brakes inspected and repaired. Even the most well-maintained cars will need brake repair at some point, including your Ford Explorer. As your car ages, brake pads and other small parts will naturally wear out and need to be replaced. Your car’s brake repair timeline can also be affected by your driving habits, as well as the climate in your area.

Much like brake problems, you don’t want to ignore issues with your tires. Safe vehicle operation is practically impossible without four well-maintained and reliable tires. We can easily swap out a flat tire on your 1996 Ford Explorer, or if the damage isn’t severe, repair a Ford Explorer tire with the appropriate plug and patch. Many tread-area punctures can be repaired if they are less than ¼ of an inch in diameter. If your tire can't be safely repaired, a technician can answer any questions you have when choosing a tire replacement that suits your vehicle and your budget. To ensure that tire damage doesn’t take a toll on other components of your vehicle, we may recommend an alignment or tire balancing service at the time of your tire repair.

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care is a one-stop shop for 1996 Ford Explorer drivetrain, engine, and transmission repair services, too. All of these systems contain hundreds of parts that work together to generate heat and energy to propel your car to move. Over time, all those constantly moving components can get worn down. If you notice delays when shifting gears, knocking noise from your engine, or a burning smell under the hood, this could indicate a problem with one of these vital systems in your Explorer. Whatever the symptom, bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care. In these cases, the repair could range from something minor, like a new spark plug, to a more significant repair, like a fuel pump fix.

How Much Are Ford Explorer Repairs?

A few different aspects can influence repair costs for your 1996 Ford Explorer, like what kind of repair you need, prices of appropriate replacement parts, the amount of labor necessary to get the job done, and where you live. Tax rates and labor costs in one state may be completely different from another state.
