Your tires gradually wear out as you drive, and they can become damaged by other issues, for example, brake problems. Tire life can be extended by regular tire rotations, but eventually, your tires will need replacement. As your Ford dealer, we’d like you to know a few signs that you may need to visit us for new tires very soon.

​​​​​​​​​​​​Battery problems are a major headache for any driver. We depend on the battery to start the engine, and if it fails, one could be left hunting for jumper cables.
