Here at Ford of Northampton, we know everyone is getting ready for summer vacation and road trips, which means before you head off, you should check your car service needs and get everything in order so you aren't left out far away from home with a vehicle issue. The service center here is eager to assist you, as you can schedule an appointment with us and have maintenance needs taken care of!

There are some simple things that you can self check to ensure your vehicle's health. That includes the tire pressure, and if some tires are below the right levels, you can go put air in them, or let us know during an appointment and we'll make sure you're at the right levels. We also recommend making sure your car battery is operational. If you're experiencing slower starts when you turn the ignition, that's a sign you might not have enough battery power. Of course we can perform a check for you too. Additionally, if you notice your wiper blades are old, or don't clean off your windshield properly, you can purchase some new ones and install them as they're generally very easy to put on any vehicle.

As for the rest? Consider getting oil changes, air filter changes, fluid top-offs, having your hoses and belts checked, and make sure you have a roadside emergency kit, which should include some non-perishables, drinking water, a flashlight, and reflectors or flares, duct tape and more for basic needs.

We are here to do oil changes, air conditioning checks, battery checks, and brake pad and rotor replacement, along with any service for any vehicle issue you might be having. Contact us at Ford of Northampton serving those in Westfield, Holyoake and Amherst, MA and we can arrange a service appointment before you go on your summer road trip and enjoy your time off!
