Wisconsin's changing seasons demand reliable vehicle care, and smart drivers know that proactive maintenance prevents costly repairs.

The certified Ford technicians at our Appleton Ford dealership understand the unique challenges that Wisconsin weather presents to your vehicle so you can book your next appointment with confidence.
Winter Ford Service Preparation
Wisconsin winters test every component of your Ford truck, SUV or EV, making thorough winter preparation essential for safe, reliable driving. The technicians at our local Ford service center address the most critical systems affected by cold weather conditions.
- Battery testing and replacement tops our winter checklist, as frigid temperatures can reduce battery capacity by up to 50%.
- Tire inspection and winter tire installation provide the traction you need on snow-covered and icy roads. We evaluate tread depth, check for uneven wear patterns and recommend appropriate tire solutions for your specific driving needs and budget.
- Your heating and defrost systems work overtime during Wisconsin winters. Our thorough inspection includes testing the heater core, checking coolant levels and ensuring proper airflow distribution to keep you comfortable and maintain clear visibility.
Spring Ford Maintenance Services
As we emerge from winter's grip, spring presents the perfect opportunity to address winter's wear and prepare for warmer weather driving. Our Wisconsin spring maintenance services focus on systems that endured months of harsh conditions.
- Comprehensive fluid service includes checking and replenishing engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid and windshield washer fluid.
- Brake system inspection ensures your Ford stops safely and reliably. Road salt and winter driving conditions can accelerate brake component wear, so our technicians thoroughly examine brake pads, rotors, brake lines and fluid for optimal performance.
- Air filter replacement and cabin air filter service improve engine performance and interior air quality.
Summer Ford Maintenance
Wisconsin summers bring their own challenges, with high temperatures and humidity putting extra demands on your car's cooling and air conditioning systems.
- Air conditioning system service includes refrigerant level checks, compressor testing and inspection of belts and hoses.
- Cooling system maintenance prevents overheating that can cause catastrophic engine damage. Our technicians inspect the radiator, water pump, thermostat and cooling hoses while checking coolant levels and concentration for optimal heat dissipation.
- Tire pressure and condition monitoring become crucial as hot pavement temperatures increase tire pressure and accelerate wear.
Fall Ford Services
Fall maintenance at our Wisconsin Ford dealership prepares your F-150, Bronco Sport or Escape for the area's transition back to cold weather while addressing summer's impact on critical systems.
- Oil change service with winter-grade lubricants provides optimal engine protection as temperatures drop.
- Wiper blade replacement and windshield washer system service ensure clear visibility during fall rains and approaching winter weather.
- Exhaust system inspection identifies potential problems before they become safety hazards.
