2006 Ford Freestar Maintenance

Take care of your Ford Freestar and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Freestar. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Freestar maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Just follow your 2006 Ford Freestar maintenance schedule!

Ford knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Freestar perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2006 Ford Freestar problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2006 Ford Freestar for factory-recommended routine maintenance 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Freestar's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2006 Ford Freestar be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and 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. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Ford Freestar battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Freestar) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford Freestar could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2006 Ford Freestar engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2006 Freestar. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2006 Ford Freestar.

Routine upkeep for your Ford Freestar suspension and steering system can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide Ford Freestar steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Ford Freestar's steering system with regular maintenance.

Without routine Ford Freestar maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Ford Freestar engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Ford Freestar? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2006 Ford Freestar maintenance and repairs.
