Driving your Ford should feel like a smooth ride from start to stop. But what happens when stopping feels a bit off? That’s your cue to think about your brakes. Regular brake services from your Ford dealer are key to that safe, smooth driving experience.

How Often to Check Your Brakes

Ideally, getting your brakes checked should be a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. For most Ford drivers, a good rule of thumb is to have a brake inspection at least once a year.

Engine problems are more likely if a car has missed its regular services. Servicing is very important as components slowly wear out or get damaged and need replacement. If you have a problem with your engine, your Ford dealer can fix it for you. These are some signs that you may need to visit us for a repair.

Low Compression

Pressure is an important factor in many engine processes. Compression refers to the pressure exerted on the fuel-air mixture in the cylinders. Fuel and air mix in the intake manifold. Sensors monitor the quantities of air and fuel, and once the two have mixed, they’re drawn into the engine cylinders. The cylinder closes and seals airtight. The piston inside the cylinder rises and compresses the mixture, which is then ignited by the spark plug.

Compression makes the mixture more powerful when it’s ignited to produce the combustion that powers your car’s movement. If a cylinder isn’t airtight, air will reduce the piston’s ability to compress the mixture. Without effective compression, you’ll experience reduced engine power. We’ll examine the cylinders to identify the cause of the problem, and then we’ll repair it.
