A Ford technician working on a vehicle.

Whether your vehicle needs a major repair or regular maintenance, using OEM parts to repair your Ford can help maximize your vehicle’s longevity. Let’s take a look at a few reasons why you should schedule a repair at your local Ford dealership, Coughlin Ford of Heath in Heath, OH, and use original Ford parts for every repair.

Maximizing Vehicle Longevity With OEM Parts for Your Ford

The Truth About Aftermarket Car Parts

With original parts by OEM, you can rest assured that each and every part has been built to the same high standard, and put through rigorous testing. The same can’t be said for aftermarket parts made by a third-party manufacturer.

Often, the consumer has no way of knowing what kind of testing that part has undergone, or what the production process is like. This means that even the same aftermarket parts can be of different quality. Additionally, aftermarket parts may be designed to fit many different types of vehicles to make more money and save on production costs. This means that the part may not be a perfect fit for your vehicle.

Four car tires and a person giving a thumbs-up.

Ensuring your vehicle is always running on good quality tires ensures your safety and the safety of everyone else on the road. It also goes a long way towards keeping your car running efficiently and without issues. If you notice any of the following signs, it might be time to get new tires from your Ford dealer.

Is There Uneven Tread Wear?

This can manifest in several ways, such as excessive wear on one side of the tire or in the middle. Uneven wear can be caused by improper alignment, incorrect tire pressure, or even issues with the suspension. Regularly inspect your tires for any uneven patterns or bald spots, as these are clear indicators that the tires need to be replaced.

Check engine light.

Your Ford’s engine contains a large number of components, and each must work effectively to enable our car to perform at its best. Engine problems can develop due to damaged or worn parts, and Coughlin Ford of Heath has specialized technicians and equipment to repair any problem. These are a few of the problems that we can repair if they develop.

Damaged Sensors

Your Ford engine has numerous sensors, each of which is connected to an important component. These sensors relay information to your car’s computer on their attached component’s health and performance. The computer uses this information to make essential decisions that allow your engine to operate efficiently.

Sensors can become damaged or wear out, and a failing sensor will report either wrong information or no information to the computer. Without information from the sensors, the computer is forced to guess what decision to make. For example, a wrong decision on oxygen content in the exhaust can lead to damaged spark plugs or a failed catalytic convertor. We can test your sensors and quickly install replacements if needed.

Car headlights.

There are lots of components of your car that’ll need to be replaced every few years, and your headlights are one—well, technically two—of those components. You won’t need to get new headlights too frequently, but you’ll still need to stop by the Coughlin Ford of Heath to replace them once in a while.

How Often Do You Need New Headlights?

How often you need to replace your headlights depends largely on how often you use them. For example, if you do a lot of driving late at night or in the very early morning, then you’ll need to replace yours more often than a driver who drives most during daylight.

Headlights last the average driver at least five years, though they may even remain working for another year or two after those five years are up. However, headlights get dimmer over time, as the bulbs age and will begin to wear out. That’s why you should replace them before they stop working as well as they used to.

Ford battery.

Your car’s battery is like its heart: it keeps everything running smoothly and ensures you can start its engine whenever you need to. However, just like any other car part, batteries wear out over time. It’s important to recognize the signs that your Ford might need a new car battery before it leaves you stranded. Here are some signs it might be time to head to the Ford dealership to replace your car battery.

1. Slow Engine Crank

When you turn the key or push the start button, your engine should roar to life almost instantly. If you notice that your Ford is taking longer than usual to start, or the engine is cranking slowly, it could be a sign that your battery is on its way out. The battery provides the necessary power to start the engine, but as it ages, it loses its ability to hold a charge, resulting in a slower start.
