2018 Ford Transit Connect Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Ford Transit Connect, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Transit Connect could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. 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 2018 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 oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Transit Connect's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2018 Ford Transit Connect problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2018 Ford Transit Connect and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Transit Connect. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 2018 Ford Transit Connect be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Transit Connect may need a replacement battery sooner. 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, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Transit Connect stranded. Your Ford Transit Connect could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2018 Ford Transit Connect running newer, longer.
