Ways to Save on Auto Service This Year

WESTLAND, Mich.––If we were all honest about our spending habits, most would say they love saving on various services or products. One service we often neglect because of the cost is auto service; however, neglecting routine maintenance could come back to bite you. Many times there are discounts you can get for services and parts, not to mention all the ways you can avoid costly auto repairs. If saving money is one of your New Year's resolutions, make sure to check out our tips below for ways to save on auto service this year!

1. Include Auto Services in Your Monthly Budget

If you're a car owners, you should be aware that there are certain routine maintenance tasks that need to be taken care of throughout the year. Oil changes, tire rotations, and wiper blade installations are just a few services that you'll need to have done, should you want to keep your vehicle running well. Including these costs into your monthly budget (if you're an organized budgeter) will help you be more aware of how much you need to spend on your vehicle throughout the year, and will help you avoid surprise costs!

2. Take Care of Routine Maintenance On a Regular Schedule

The 3,000-5,000 miles in between oil changes is a recommended milestone for a reason! Going over 5,000 miles can allow dirty oil to run through your engine and cause heavy wear, which can lead to costly repairs down the road. The same goes for other routine maintenance such as tire rotations, alignments, brake pad replacements, etc. Reference our routine maintenance and seasonal maintenance pages for more information on what tasks should be completed and how often.

3. Have Your Auto Service Done at North Brothers Ford

2018 Ford F-150 Will Be a Game Changer

WESTLAND, Mich.––The North American International Auto Show has officially kicked off this week, and the news is pouring in with details and photos about upcoming vehicles and concepts. One vehicle that has heads turning is the newest Ford F-150 pickup! The 2018 Ford F-150 will be a game changer with its new transmission and engine options. Let's take a look at what's to come from Ford.

The announcement of the 2018 Ford F-150 came with a date of expectancy: this coming fall. Yes, that quickly we'll see the new F-150 on the roads. You'll notice in the photos new grille and wheel options, which is just a part of the new design. New LED lighting will appear at the rear, along with LED lights in the bed, and spotlights on the side mirrors that'll help with late-night work. 

This new version of Ford's light duty F-150 will come a high-strength alloy body and fully boxed ladder frame to remain light and able to tow loads bigger than ever before. The advanced safety and driver assist features like adaptive cruise (good while towing), intelligent idling, auto start-stop, and pedestrian detection only add to the entire driving experience and efficiency and will provide drivers more confidence.

Speaking of confidence, the new 10-speed transmission should make drivers feel more confident in towing, because this trans will help provide faster and smoother 'get-up'. The biggest news to come out of this announcement was the new engine options that'll come with the 2018 model. Within the 7 models you'll be able to choose from, you'll find a new standard 3.3L Ti VCT V6, a 2.7L EcoBoost, a 5.0L Ti VCT V8, 3.5L EcoBoost, and a 3.0L Power Stroke Diesel.

We're so excited for all of the new Ford vehicles to come in the next few years, including the game changer 2018 Ford F-150, the 2020 Ford Bronco, and 2019 Ford Ranger! Although we can't stop thinking about the future, we're just as excited about the present. Ford continually provides an amazing lineup of vehicles, including the 2017 Ford F-150, the 2017 Ford Escape, and 2017 Ford Fusion Sport that we'd love to show you at our dealership on Ford Rd.!

Hybrid F-150 and Mustang to Be Added to Ford's Lineup

WESTLAND, Mich.––We heard the news, just about a year ago, that Ford would be pushing to add 13 EVs or Electric Vehicles to its lineup by 2020. This week an announcement was made that verified seven of the 13 vehicles to be added. The most exciting part of this announcement was that two of Ford's most popular models will be electrified. The hybrid F-150 and Mustang will be added to Ford's lineup within the next five years.

Ford has been studying electrified vehicles and the way customers or drivers use their vehicles extensively to bring the best product lineup. Since 2005, Ford has sold more than 520,000 in the United States. Through 30,000 Ford EV owners, Ford has learned 88% of drivers daily distance is 60 miles or less.

The electrified Ford F-150 pickup truck may seem silly to those who believe in a powerful V8 truck, but it will really benefit owners in multiple ways. The new hybrid truck will deliver the same powerful towing and payload capacity you would expect from a non-hybrid, can act as a mobile generator, and will obviously save drivers a ton at the gas pump by utilizing hybrid technologies. It's still in development for now, but the F-150 Hybrid will be produced at Ford's Dearborn Plant right here in Michigan and will be an addition to the lineup so buyers will have the option.

A hybrid pony will also join the herd by 2020. The hybrid Mustang is promised to deliver the same V8 power you would expect from a regular pony, and even more low-end torque. The new, more green Mustang is still in development as well, but will be produced in the Flat Rock Plant. When it goes on sale, it will be exclusive to the U.S. to begin with.

Ford has also announced a small electric SUV with a range of about 300 miles to be available by 2020. This EV SUV will be produced along with the hybrid Mustang in the Flat Rock Plant. Ford had previously talked about building a plant in Mexico; however, this is now cancelled and the money will go to investing in the Flat Rock Plant with about 700 jobs and $700 million. The new Manufacturing Innovation Center to be responsible for building the EV SUV, will also take on autonomous vehicle development for ride sharing.

With the hybrid F-150 and Mustang to be added to Ford's lineup in the next five years, there's plenty for drivers to look forward to! If you're holding out for a hybrid or more green version of your favorite Ford vehicle to come to the market, stay tuned because Ford is making moves to do so with many of its popular models. If you're in need of a new vehicle now, we'd love to help you buy or lease one at North Brothers Ford!
