If you leave your engine air filter to clog up, it begins to act less like a filter and more like a blocked airway. Here's what happens:

Your engine must work harder to get enough clean air into the chamber to complete the combustion cycle. Attempting to pull air through the restricted filter can create a vacuum effect and it’s possible for particles to get sucked through the filter and in turn damage internal components.

Because of the engine’s suffocating state, a dirty air filter can also cause it to consume more fuel than it would with a clean one, causing a reduction in overall fuel efficiency.

If your filter is saturated with dirt, you may experience a lack of power under hard acceleration.

When is the last time you changed your air filter? If we service your vehicle, we’ll have a record of it. If you are not sure, give us a call or stop in to see us. 



Your tires are the only point of contact between you and the road, so it’s important to take care of them. Check the pressure of all your tires (including the spare) monthly, and maintain the optimal pressure recommended in your owner’s manual.
What to look for:

  • Check the tread for uneven or irregular wear and for cuts or bruises on the sidewalls.
  • Rotate your tires every 8,000 kilometers and replace them if they are worn or damaged.
  • 5/32nds – Take caution, now is the time to start thinking about replacing your tires. 
  • 3/32nds – Alert!  Now is the time to purchase new tires. It is unsafe to drive on tires worn to 3/32nds.
Make vehicle maintenance a priority this spring to protect yourself and prolong the life of your vehicle!


     

 

  1. Good Cargo and Storage Space
    This is often the best reason to purchase any SUV. Small, subcompact crossovers have the benefit of good storage while also driving and parking like a regular car. This is a car-sized vehicle with much more storage than your average sedan.

    Ford has stated that it will include over thirty different compartments inside of the SUV. This is an excellent amount of small-item storage.

  2. A Small Vehicle that Seats Five
    It's nice having a smaller vehicle that is easy to park and maneuver. It's even nicer when that vehicle can comfortably seat five adult passengers. It is easy for passengers to get in and out of the 2018 Ford Ecosport. The interior almost seems impossibly large when you consider the overall size of this crossover.

  3. Sleek Exterior Style
    The 2018 Ford Ecosport has a sleek, modern exterior design with hexagonal grill. It looks both rugged and elegant at the same time. The Ecosport comes in a variety of conservative and more daring colors. This crossover is sure to get some attention from admirers wherever you go.

  4. Nice, Clean Interior
    The interior is simple, but has a nice, clean look to it. It's not overly busy, but still has all of the things you need. It has ample storage, plenty of head and leg room and a nice console design. The gauges and console are neat and well thought out. The material quality is good, but nothing to write home about. Still, it comes across as a very comfortable and well-made vehicle.

  5. Infotainment System and High-Tech Features
    The sound system and overall infotainment system is beefed up in the 2018 Ford Ecosport. The Titanium trim features a 10-speaker sound system with over 675 watts of power.

    The system features an 8'" touchscreen and Ford's Sync3 system. A navigation system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are all included. Multiple USB ports, 110 volt and 12 volt outlets are also featured throughout the interior.

Stay tuned… there are at least five more great reasons to drive a Ford EcoSport.
