Brake repair is one of the most important repairs you can invest in for one very simple reason: you rely on your brakes to safely bring your vehicle to a stop. Ford Ranger 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. Even the most well-maintained cars will need brake repair at some point, including your Ford Ranger. As your car ages, brake pads and other small parts will naturally wear out and need to be replaced. Driving habits and climate can also affect when you might need brake repair.

Much like brake problems, you don’t want to ignore issues with your tires. Tire damage can inhibit your ability to maintain control of your vehicle and stay safe while driving. If you have a flat tire on your 1988 Ford Ranger, we can change it for you. In some cases, our technicians may be able to perform a simple patch and plug repair on your Ford Ranger tire. Many tread-area punctures can be repaired if they are less than ¼ of an inch in diameter. 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. 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.

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care is a one-stop shop for 1988 Ford Ranger drivetrain, engine, and transmission repair services, too. Each of these systems is made up of hundreds of interconnected parts, each rubbing against another to create heat and energy. With so many moving parts, a lot can go wrong over time. If you notice delays when shifting gears, knocking noise from your engine, or a burning smell under the hood, this could indicate a problem with one of these vital systems in your Ranger. Whatever the symptom, bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care. In these cases, the repair could range from something minor, like a new spark plug, to a more significant repair, like a fuel pump fix.
