Routine vehicle inspections are a core part of preventative maintenance. If you schedule regular Ford inspections, our technicians can fine-tune the engine, detect and repair minor faults, and save you a good deal of money in the long term. Let’s look at how often you should have an inspection carried out at your local Ford dealership and the many benefits provided to you and your car.

When to Have Your Ford Inspected

It’s advisable to have a thorough multi-point inspection conducted twice a year. This interval will ensure that most issues are caught early on. You should also have your car inspected before long journeys, such as out-of-state road trips. And if you ever experience a collision, you’ll need a technician to make sure everything is still working properly under the hood.

How Inspections Prolong Your Car’s Lifespan

The rate at which cars age depends on how well they’re looked after. Vehicle aging is simply an accumulation of wear and tear over time, and preventative maintenance minimizes this rate of wear. 

When seeking to maximize your car’s lifespan, the most important thing to prevent is major faults, especially in the engine, transmission, or another major component. Serious malfunctions typically build slowly over time and, if fixed at an early stage, can often be readily averted. This is why regular inspections are crucial for overall vehicle longevity.  

Reduce Costs While Enhancing Vehicle Value

Routine scheduled maintenance is typically a fraction of the cost of repairing or replacing parts that have worn out prematurely. With periodical inspections, you’re doing all that you can to prevent expensive repair jobs from rearing their ugly heads. 

Furthermore, used car buyers are always keen to know how well the car was cared for. If you keep the receipts from all inspections to show future buyers, you’re certain to gain a higher price; your car’s value is maintained far better with regular professional attention and tune-ups. 

Enjoy Significant Safety Benefits

Most importantly of all, you’re safer on the road in a car that’s recently been inspected. When a collision is caused by component failure, the driver rarely knows about the problem beforehand. Inspections ensure that no hazardous hidden fault is slowly developing in your car.
