2012 Ford Transit Connect Maintenance

When it comes to your Ford Transit Connect, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With proactive maintenance, your Transit Connect has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Transit Connect, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2012 Ford Transit Connect!

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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, and brake pad replacement. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Transit Connect's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 Ford Transit Connect problems later.

Bring your 2012 Ford Transit Connect to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Transit Connect’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2012 Ford Transit Connect. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Ford Transit Connect battery, and so can frequent short drives. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Transit Connect) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Ford Transit Connect won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Routine upkeep for your Ford Transit Connect 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. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Ford Transit Connect steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Ford Transit Connect's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Ford Transit Connect maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), 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 Transit Connect cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Ford Transit Connect? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too.
