An orange 2023 Ford Maverick.

The 2023 Ford Maverick is a compact pickup that uses its smaller size and all-wheel drive to its advantage, allowing it to venture on and off-road with excellent handling and performance.

A family of three, mom, dad, and child, with sunglasses and sunhats on are sitting/resting on the trunk of their SUV in a field.

Planning a fun day out with the family? At Coughlin Ford Heath, we’re lucky to have some fantastic local attractions just a short drive away. Here are a few of our favorite places to go that are near Heath, OH – we hope that you enjoy them as much as we do.

Newark Earthworks

The Newark Earthworks are ancient earthern enclosures, built by the Hopewell Native Americans between 0AD and 400AD. They are the largest enclosures of their kind in the world and have National Historic Landmark status. The surviving sections of the Newark Earthworks consist of three parts – the Great Circle Earthworks, the Wright Earthworks, and the Octagon Earthworks.

The Earthworks are set amongst some beautiful scenery and are an excellent place to take a walk, although you should take care to avoid walking on the earthworks themselves. We would particularly recommend taking the guided tour if you get the chance, and the museum is also worth a visit, although the opening hours are seasonal. The Great Circle Museum can be found at 455 Hebron Road.

Whether you’re a local or just visiting Heath, OH, you’re likely to want a nice evening to relax in your home or hotel without the hassle of going out. So when looking for delivery restaurants, the following are a few of our favorites that we know you’ll enjoy.

We love this local’s favorite, which serves tasty pizza, subs, salads, and more. Start with an order of their deep-dish bread or the Jet’s triple cheese turbo stix to whet the appetite.

Vehicle transmission.

Automatic transmissions in modern Ford vehicles are remarkably sophisticated. This means they’re also expensive to replace – sometimes almost as costly as replacing the engine – so it’s crucial to catch possible gearbox problems early and fix them before they grow into something worse. With this in mind, the following six signs of trouble should prompt you to visit your local Ford dealer without delay for transmission repair.

Leaking Transmission Fluid

The intricate mechanical components inside your gearbox are kept in fully functioning form in large part by the transmission fluid. The fluid lubricates, reduces heat, combats corrosion, and cleans out metal debris. On the rare occasion when a Ford car’s transmission develops a problem, some sort of fluid issue is usually to blame.

If your transmission ever springs a leak, the transmission can rapidly break down. So it’s important to notice and repair leaks quickly. Watch out for any red or brown sweet-smelling fluid pooling under your car. If you ever suspect leaking transmission fluid, don’t drive any farther than to reach your nearest technician.
