When you're behind the wheel of your trusty Ford, you want the journey to be as safe and enjoyable as possible. A key component to ensuring this, especially during night drives or in less-than-ideal weather conditions, is having a set of properly functioning headlights. If you're wondering whether it's time for new headlights, let's go through some common signs that mean a visit to your Ford dealer might be in order. Dimming Lights One clear sign that it's time for a fresh set of headlights is when they start to lose their brightness. Dim headlights can compromise your ability to see the road ahead clearly at night or during inclement weather. If you find yourself squinting or struggling to make out the road, your headlights are not doing their job, and you should have them checked out. Burned-Out Bulbs If one or both of your bulbs have burned out, they clearly need to be replaced. Driving without two working headlights is a safety hazard and it is also illegal, meaning that you run the risk of getting a ticket if you try it. Frequent Bulb Replacements If you're finding yourself replacing the headlights in your Ford over and over, there's probably an underlying issue. Regularly needing new bulbs may indicate a problem with your headlight assembly or with the electrical system of your vehicle. Cracks or Damage to the Headlight Assembly Check the physical condition of your headlights. Cracks, chips, or significant damage can affect the quality of the light they provide. Breakage may also allow water to seep inside, leading to further issues. Any visible damage to your headlights is a sure sign that they need a checkup. Change in the Color of the Light Sometimes, aging headlights can start to give light that seems more yellow than white. This yellowing effect can reduce your visibility and may be a sign that your headlights need replacing. Sometimes this issue is caused by discoloration of the plastic lenses that cover your headlight assembly and can potentially be reduced by cleaning them. Dashboard Indicator Lights Many modern Ford models come with dashboard indicator lights that alert you when something is wrong with your vehicle, and that includes headlights. If your dashboard is signaling a problem with your headlights, it's time to get them checked out. Visit Your Ford Dealer for New Headlights When it comes to replacing or servicing your headlights, your dealership is the go-to place. We use high-quality, brand-name parts that are designed to work perfectly with your Ford model. Good headlights are essential for your safety and the safety of others on the road. If you're noticing any of these signs, don't hesitate to get those headlights checked out. Keep your journey safe, no matter the time of day. Call Matthew Ford to schedule a headlight inspection.

As a rule of thumb, you should have your tires rotated at least once a year to ensure your tires are in good shape. Frequent tire rotations can help the tread on all four tires wear evenly, which can prolong the life of your tires. When it's time to buy new tires, you can purchase them directly from your Ford dealer. Four Signs Your Ford Needs New Tires 1. Your Tires Don't Pass the Penny Test If you want a DIY test to assess the condition of your tires, then you can do the penny test at home. The penny test uses a coin such as a penny or a quarter to measure the depth of the tread on your tires. For this test, you will insert the coin into the tread of the tire. Based on where the tread touches the head on the coin, you might need replacement tires. 2. You Can See Your Tread Wear Indicators Your tires also likely have a built-in tread wear indicator. If the tread on your tire becomes even with the tread wear indicator on your tire, then you need to replace your tires. Typically, the tread wear indicator is placed 2/32 of an inch from the base of the tread groove. 3. Your Tires Have Low Air Pressure If your tires frequently have low air pressure, then it might be because your tires are incapable of holding onto air. Usually, this is because of an air leak or other damage to the tire that you might not have noticed. Driving on tires with low air pressure can be dangerous, so you should replace them as soon as possible. 4. Your Tires Have Excessive Vibration If you notice excessive vibration from your tires when you drive, then you might have an issue with the balance of your wheels, the tread wear on your tires, or low air pressure. Sometimes, excessive vibration can be caused by a worn suspension. How Can You Order Tires at Your Ford Dealer? There are two ways you can order replacement tires at your dealership. First, you can buy your tires at the service department when your mechanic recommends replacements after tire service. Your other option is ordering tires online on your dealership's website. To use the online order form, you will need to have information about your vehicle such as the year, make, model, and trim. All of these details will help identify the specific tires that are most suitable for your vehicle. You can also cross-reference this information with the tires recommended for your vehicle in your Ford owner's manual. When your tires are in bad shape, you run the risk of having a blowout when you're on the road. For your safety and the safety of other drivers around you, it's best to replace your tires as soon as you notice a low tread or visible damage. Get in touch with Matthews Ford to order your replacement tires today.

The battery is one of your car's most important components, but it has a relatively short working life of three to five years. Your battery can also be damaged by other the failure of components. As your Ford dealer in Broken Arrow, OK, we'd like you to know some signs that your battery is failing, and it's time to visit us for a new car battery. Signs You Need a New Car Battery From Your Ford Dealer Bad Smell If you're driving and smell the stench of rotten eggs, you probably have a failing battery. This foul smell is produced by a chemical called hydrogen sulfide, which forms when a battery is failing. Your battery contains many different components, including an electrolyte solution, copper plates, and sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid in a battery gradually breaks down over time, and the acid releases hydrogen gas. Hydrogen molecules are minute and can easily escape the confines of the battery case. The hydrogen molecules will mix with sulfur molecules already present in the engine and form hydrogen sulfide. This new chemical compound smells awful and can cause your battery to corrode. We can't repair the battery, but we can install a replacement battery to fix this problem. Weak Alternator The battery stores the electricity that provides the charge to start the engine. It also supplies power to maintain your car's electrical systems, like the lights and alarm when the engine is switched off. The alternator is a mini generator in your engine that powers the electrical systems while you're driving, and it also recharges the battery. The alternator is a very robust component and usually only needs replacement after about eight years. If the alternator is wearing out, it will produce less electricity than it should. The reduced electricity supply will affect all your car's systems, and it will also provide less power to recharge the battery. A lack of recharging will gradually cause the battery to fail. Our technicians will test your alternator, and we can install a new one if required. Battery Warning Light The battery warning light lights up in response to a problem in your car's electrical system. Sensors are connected to every component in the electrical system, and they continually relay information to your car's computer. These sensors are very sensitive and can detect the smallest change in the component they're connected to. A healthy battery should supply between 12.6 and 12.8 volts. If your battery is wearing out, its voltage output will decrease. If the battery's voltage drops below 12 volts, the warning light will illuminate. We'll examine your engine to identify the reason for the low voltage, and we can replace your battery if it's failing. Don't risk the headache and stress of a dead battery. Call our service department today at Matthews Ford.

Your Ford is a trusty companion that gets you where you need to go. But like any faithful friend, it may need some care and attention from time to time. One critical component that often demands your consideration is the radiator. The radiator helps keep your engine cool, but like any part of your vehicle, it can face issues. Your local Ford dealer can offer help with radiator repair, but you need to know the signs that you should bring it in. Engine Overheating The classic sign that something might be wrong with your radiator is an overheating engine. If you notice that your temperature gauge is climbing into the danger zone or if you see steam billowing from under the hood, it's a surefire indicator that your radiator is struggling to keep things cool. Leaking Coolant Coolant, often called antifreeze, is the lifeblood of your radiator. It circulates through your engine, keeping it at the right temperature. If you spot a bright green, sweet-smelling puddle under your parked car, it's likely a coolant leak. This is a red flag and could mean a radiator issue, Low Coolant Levels You should check your coolant levels occasionally, as it's a good indicator of your radiator's health. If you find that your coolant levels are consistently low, even after topping them up, there might be a leak. It's also possible that the radiator cap is not sealing correctly, so keep an eye on it. Discolored or Rusty Coolant Healthy coolant is usually bright green or orange, depending on the type used in your vehicle. If you notice that your coolant has turned murky, discolored, or rusty, it's time to flush and replace it. Old, contaminated coolant can't do it's job properly, and can lead to engine overheating. Unexplained Temperature Fluctuations Your temperature gauge should remain relatively stable during your drives. If you notice that it's bounding around or frequently spiking, it could indicate a problem with your radiator. Fluctuations in temperature can also harm your engine, making it essential to deal with it quickly. Strange Noises Unusual sounds from your engine area can be a sign of radiator trouble. If you hear a hissing noise, it might mean a coolant leak. A gurgling sound could suggest air in the coolant system. Any strange noises should prompt a visit to the dealership for further inspection. Get Radiator Repair at Your Ford Dealer Your Ford relies on a well-functioning radiator to keep its engine cool and running efficiently. While radiators are durable, they can still develop issues over time. Your local dealership is your partner in keeping your car running right. Ignoring radiator problems can lead to more severe engine issues and expensive repairs. If you notice any signs that your radiator is in trouble, don't hesitate to consult the professionals. Schedule a service at Matthews Ford today, and keep your radiator in good shape!

If you are getting ready to shop for your next vehicle, you may be wondering whether it's better to pay in cash or get car financing. Vehicle financing from your official Ford dealer can be beneficial for several reasons. Here's everything you need to know. 4 Reasons to Get Car Financing at Your Ford Dealer 1. You'll Get the Best Rates If you are looking for vehicle financing, then you'll have several options available to you when you're trying to decide who to get it from. But there are lots of reasons why you should get it from your dealer. Your dealer wants to provide you with the best experience possible, which means that they'll offer you some of the most competitive interest rates. If you want to keep all your subsequent monthly payments as low as possible, you should go through your dealer. 2. You'll Boost Your Credit Score If you're not sure what your credit score looks like, it's a good time to check. A low credit score can have a negative impact on all areas of your financial life. You may find it difficult to get loans and mortgages as well as jobs in some instances. One of the best ways to get your credit score higher is by getting a loan and paying it off on time. It's easy for almost anyone to get a car loan, even if their existing credit score is low which makes it an ideal way to get yourself back on the right financial track. 3. You Can Get a Better Car Have you been eyeing up a particular model or trim level? Disappointed that you have to go for the lesser value vehicle because you're paying for it in cash? You won't have this problem when you get financing. Since you'll only need to put down a portion of the total cost as your down payment and pay the rest of the vehicle off over the coming months, you'll be able to splurge for the trim level you've been dreaming of instead of having to settle for less. 4. Grow Your Savings Account In the event of an emergency, or even if you're planning on making another large purchase later, having a healthy savings account is important. But you're not going to have these savings available to you if you've had to spend them all paying for your vehicle in cash. If you'd prefer to keep growing your savings account for future purchases, then you'll want to consider getting vehicle financing. You won't need to pay for the entirety of the vehicle upfront, which means that you can keep the majority of your savings for a rainy day. Buying a car is an exciting venture, but there's no denying that it can be an expensive one too. This is why you should consider getting vehicle financing. Always remember to get vehicle financing from your dealer for the best rates and options. Ready to learn more? Visit our financing department at Matthews Ford.
