Maintenance Should You Do Before Trading Dothan
Perhaps you have a vehicle that you want to trade for a new or used model off our lot. However, you may not be too confident about what types of services to have completed on your car. Rather than feel doubtful, read about the certain maintenance tasks you should have done before trading at Gilland Ford as we explain.
Battery Service
We'll start by helping you pinpoint what types of battery services your car may need. Traveling on Route 84 for years wears it out, since it's the source behind many electrical systems, including your car’s lights, and it also supplies the juice to your vehicle’s starter to get the engine going. Since it's behind different electrical functions, it’s essential that we inspect your Ford F-150 or Explorer’s battery to see that there are no leaves, loose cables, or other issues hindering its performance. To make sure that it has enough power for the next drive, we can also run a battery test and replace it if its voltage levels are too weak. With these services, you’ll have a vehicle that works smoothly during the appraisal so that you're able to receive a lucrative value!
Oil Change
We can’t ignore the importance of caring for your vehicle’s engine oil for the appraisal. After all, during your many trips to Johnny Henderson Park, it lubricates the inner parts while also keeping any particles dispersed so that it's hard for sludge to form. With use and time, the oil loses its effectiveness, meaning that you'll need to arrive at our Service Center for a replacement. So that your Maverick or Expedition runs smoothly during our inspection and earns a higher appraisal, bring it to our knowledgeable and certified technicians who can perform the engine service. We're happy to install one of different types, including synthetic or regular oil, based on your preferences!
Other Services
You’ll want to have other types of maintenance done after traveling for so long before your trade-in. So that your car’s tires easily wear out evenly, consider having them rotated if it's been a while. Perhaps it's been long overdue since they've been balanced. If so, take some time to schedule a visit and come by our Service Center. Also, ask our technicians to ensure that your vehicle is topped off of windshield wiper fluid, since you may have driven through rainy weather in Enterprise for a while. Finally, after years of collecting dust, your car’s cabin filter is likely due for a replacement. We can better explain any of these services and others when you call us today!
