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 2008 Ford Explorer repairs, including brake, tire, alignment, drivetrain, and engine repair. Find more details on each of these services 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 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. No matter what shape your Ford Explorer is in, it will likely need brake repair at some point – and that’s totally normal! Over time, parts of your brakes (like the brake pads) experience natural wear and tear and eventually 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. If you have a flat tire on your 2008 Ford Explorer, we can change it for you. In some cases, our technicians may be able to repair a Ford Explorer tire with the appropriate plug and patch. Tread-area punctures less than ¼ inch in diameter can often be repaired. If a repair isn’t safe for your particular tire situation, a technician can answer any questions you have when choosing a tire replacement that suits your vehicle and your budget. Tire damage can have a ripple effect on other parts of your car, so we might suggest an alignment or tire balancing service following a tire repair or replacement.

At your local Firestone Complete Auto Care, we can also take care of your 2008  Ford Explorer engine, drivetrain, and transmission repairs. All of these systems contain hundreds of parts that work together to generate heat and energy to propel your car to move. With so many moving parts, a lot can go wrong over time. 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. When something feels off with your vehicle, head to Firestone Complete Auto Care. This could be a simple fix like a new spark plug, or you may need repairs to your fuel pump.

How Much Are Ford Explorer Repairs?

The cost to repair your 2008 Ford Explorer depends on what kind of repair you need, prices of appropriate replacement parts, the labor involved, and where you live. Labor costs and tax rates can be pretty different from state to state. We update them regularly to keep our deals fresh!

Our technicians know how to repair common 2008 Ford Explorer problems, and all of our work is backed up by our unique Triple Promise: Fixed Right, Priced Right, Right on Time.
