To keep your Ford in its best condition there  are several things we think you should know prior to the cold weather. Ford of Pleasanton is going to give you its cold weather car care tips.

One should never go out into the cold weather, especially if the roads are icy/snowy, without knowing how to best take care of your car first. The cold weather can actually affect your vehicle more than you think, and it’s important to remember the following tips.

Check Your Tire Tread

Over time, the more miles your car gets, the more of an effect it will have on your tire tread. When the weather gets colder and snow or ice starts to form, it is incredibly important you have enough tread on your tires. The more tread, the less of a chance you could have of slipping and sliding on the ice.

Check On Your Car’s Battery

Your battery usually works harder when it gets colder, so you need to make sure you check the life of your battery before going out in the cold. Your battery needs to be performing at its best, because the last thing you want is to be stuck in the cold.

Lube Whatever You Think Could Freeze

For example, if you don’t lube your locks on the outside of your door, it can cause corrosion, so in an event where your key fob is faulty, you won’t be able to get into your vehicle, and Ford of Pleasanton wants you to be 100% safe in those situations. 

Freezing windows are also a pain, because if they freeze and you try to roll it down, this can cause more damage to your window and more money out of your pocket. It is best to lubricate your window tracks to be sure they won’t drag.

Our #1 priority for cold weather at Ford of Pleasanton is that you are safe. Follow the above tips and you’ll have more peace of mind. When in doubt, visit us at 3874 East State Highway 97, Pleasanton, TX 78064 if you have other questions or concerns about your vehicle. You can also call our service team at (830) 399-4279.

The San Antonio Riverwalk is such a beautiful place to walk around and enjoy the sights and events going on, but first, you have to park. We know the struggle of finding the right area without having to walk super far, so Ford of Pleasanton has some tips for you.

#1. Pay attention to curb markings before parking next to the street

Curb markings can tell you a lot about whether it’s a good or bad idea to park somewhere. Don’t risk parking somewhere that advises against it, and pay attention before you park!

#2. Time limits

Some parking may be free, which is great! However, keep in mind how long you plan on staying in that area, because some parking spots have a time limit, and if you pass the time limit, you could get a ticket or be towed.

#3 Do your research beforehand

If you don’t want to pay to park, go online and locate a free parking map of the city to save you time. We want our Pleasanton, San Antonio, Floresville, Jourdanton, and Poteet residents to have fun without the hassle!

If you’ve ever worried about your vehicle in the summer heat, you aren’t alone. We have a few tips for you to be sure you’re in good shape when you get on the road!

Reminders when preparing to drive in hot weather

1. Check your vehicle’s battery life

Although the battery of your vehicle is powerful, it can be sensitive to extreme temperatures, especially the heat. If your battery is relatively new, you should be good to go, but if you have any hesitancies, give our service team at Ford of Pleasanton a call at (830)399-4279.

2. Check the status of your oil

If the date on your oil change sticker is due or past due, it’s very important you get your oil changed as it can affect the engine’s performance. Call us today to see if you need a change.

3. Check your tires

One of the worst things to happen is getting stuck on the road with a flat, and when your tires aren’t inflated enough, it can cause a blowout if untreated.

4. Check your coolant level

You always want to make sure you have enough coolant in your vehicle, otherwise it could overheat, and nobody wants that when it’s already hot out. Remember, though, that it’s never safe to check the coolant when the radiator is still hot. Give your vehicle some time for the engine to cool down before you check your coolant.

When in doubt, come see us at Ford of Pleasanton in Pleasanton, TX, and ask about what services we offer. We’re located at 3874 East State Highway 97, Pleasanton, TX 78064 You can also reach out to our serve team at (830)399-4279.
