We Can Fix Your 1998 Ford Explorer

We know it’s not just any Ford Explorer. It’s your Ford Explorer, and you can count on us to repair your vehicle like it was our own. A high level of care is what sets the best auto repair shops apart from all the others. You can drive easy knowing that Firestone Complete Auto Care has you covered for 1998 Ford Explorer repairs, including brake, tire, alignment, drivetrain, and engine repair. We'll share a little about each service below.

When it comes to brake repairs, your safety is of utmost importance. Even if you’re a careful driver, Ford Explorer brake problems can quickly create a dangerous situation while you’re driving. Don’t wait to have your brakes inspected if you notice any of the following: brake noises, a shuddering sensation when you hit the brakes, an illuminated brake light on your dashboard, or increased stopping distance. No matter what shape your Ford Explorer is in, it will likely need brake repair at some point – and that’s totally normal! Brake pads and parts naturally wear out over time. Driving habits and climate can also affect when you might need brake repair.

Tire problems are another one you don't want to let linger. Safe vehicle operation is practically impossible without four well-maintained and reliable tires. If you have a flat tire on your 1998 Ford Explorer, we can change it for you. In some cases, our technicians may be able to patch and plug your Ford Explorer tire with a simple, effective repair process. More often than not, punctures in the tread area that are less than ¼ inch in diameter can be successfully repaired. If the type of tire damage won’t allow for a safe repair, a technician can answer any questions you have when choosing a tire replacement that suits your vehicle and your budget. We may also recommend an alignment or balancing when you have a tire repair since tire damage can impact other 'around the wheel' parts.

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care is a one-stop shop for 1998 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 this happens, you may hear engine knocking noises, feel a delay in transmission shifting, or even smell a burning odor from under your Explorer’s hood. With these symptoms, it’s best to bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care to diagnose the problem. The repair might be a simple spark plug replacement, or a more involved fuel pump fix.

How Much Does Ford Explorer Repair Cost?

The cost to repair your 1998 Ford Explorer depends on what kind of repair you need, costs of replacement parts or repair supplies, the labor involved, and the state you live in. Tax rates and labor costs in one state may be completely different from another state. No matter what state you’re in, be sure to look through our offers and online coupons for repairs.

We know that getting affordable Ford Explorer repairs is important to you. We understand, too, that you don’t want just anyone doing repair work on your Ford.
