Courtesy Checks on Your Ford Explorer

Every service performed at Firestone Complete Auto Care includes a multi-point Courtesy Check. It's one of the best ways to better understand your Ford Explorer's maintenance needs and proactively address potential issues. What happens during a Courtesy Check? First, a technician will pop the hood on your Ford Explorer and test the battery to find out how much charge is remaining on it. We know that the best time to replace your battery is before you need to. The check will continue with a visual inspection of your Ford Explorer's lights, windshield wipers, filters, hoses, alignment, tires, fluid levels, and belts. At the end of your Courtesy Check, you'll receive a report of your vehicle's condition. Does a Courtesy Check cost anything? Nope. Courtesy Checks are free. Time spent caring for your car is time well spent, indeed!
