2013 Ford Focus Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Ford Focus, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Focus could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Focus, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2013 Ford Focus maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Ford themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, and tire rotations. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Focus running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2013 Ford Focus problems in the future.

Bring your 2013 Ford Focus to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Focus’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2013 Ford Focus. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Focus battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Focus) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford Focus could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Maintaining your Ford Focus steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate Ford Focus steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your Ford Focus's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you skip recommended Ford Focus services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Ford Focus cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Ford Focus radiator? We got it. Got a funny smell coming from your A/C? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2013 Ford Focus maintenance.
