Getting a driver’s license is a big milestone for any teenager (and parent)! As students head back to school and start driving themselves to class, Ford of Pleasanton wants our San Antonio, Floresville, Jourdanton, and Poteet, TX, families to review these safe driving habits. more There’s a lot to learn from the first day your teen gets their license. We’re here to help your family prepare for a safe school year! Discuss Distracted Driving One of the first habits you should teach your teen is to keep their attention on the road. Even the quickest text, a song change, or a reach for a snack can take their attention away at the wrong time. Encourage them to set their phone to ‘Do Not Disturb’, plan their route before heading out, and always keep both hands available for driving. Practice Regular Routes Before the first day, take your teen to practice all the regular routes they’ll be taking. These can include the route to school, to the nearest gas station, school drop-off and pickup areas, and any busy intersections. Watch For Pedestrians When you’re new to driving, it can take some time to get used to additional hazards during the school year. Remind your teen to always watch for children crossing the street, as it can happen unexpectedly. It is also important for them to know what to do when approaching a stopped school bus. Learning to drive is a long process, but practicing the above with your teen will help them build safe habits when they leave the house for school every morning. If you’re looking to start off the school year in a new Ford, shop with Ford of Pleasanton! We’re here to serve drivers in Pleasanton, San Antonio, Floresville, Jourdanton, Poteet, and beyond.

We know you’re starting to feel the warm weather entering the Texas Hill Country. Spring has arrived, providing the perfect opportunity to revitalize both your household and your Ford! Ford of Pleasanton is here to give our Pleasanton, San Antonio, Floresville, Jourdanton, and Poteet, TX, customers tips on how to keep their vehicle in top condition with seasonal maintenance. more From the Inside Out, Your Ford Needs a Deep Clean! The winter weather we drove through probably left behind all kinds of dirt, grime, and dust. Giving your vehicle a good wash and wax not only helps it look shiny and new for spring, but can also help protect your paint from further damage. Once you get to the interior, follow these steps: Throw out any food trash, straw wrappers, and receipts Vacuum everything: carpets, seats, and those hard-to-reach corners Wipe down all surfaces and your dashboard Give Your Ford a Health Check The change in seasons affects your car’s oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Check the levels of these and top them off if needed! Spring is also a great time to get an oil change if it’s been a while since your last one. The Ford of Pleasanton team wants your engine running smoothly! Inspect Your Tires and Brakes When Texas temperatures rise and fall, your tire pressure will, too. Check that all your tires are inflated to their correct pressure, and look for uneven tread wear and low tread depth. Come see our service technicians and have your brakes inspected before hitting the road! These spring showers can make the roads slick, so we want your brakes in their best condition. Even minor spring maintenance for your Ford car, truck, or SUV can significantly improve your driving experience. Schedule your next Ford service appointment with us online or call (830) 200-0983.
