Ford Scheduled Maintenance Guide

You understand how important it is to keep up with your Ford service schedule to keep your car running the way it’s supposed to. Adhering to this schedule is also important because it helps ensure that your vehicle will be covered by a warranty, especially if it’s a new model. Ourservice department wants to help keep your car running in top shape on our St Louis roads. So, we’ve put together the Ford Scheduled maintenance guide below.

The Ford Service Schedule

The Ford service schedule can actually vary a little by model and model year. Fenton drivers like you will want to check the owner’s manual and warranty terms for the specific Ford scheduled maintenance guide on your vehicle. You can also look up your car’s recommended maintenance schedule on the Ford website. Below is a list of general guidelines for most Ford models:
