Does Your Ford Need New Headlights?

When you're taking care of vehicle safety, working headlights should be near the top of your list. If you're not sure whether it's time for you to head to the Ford dealer for new headlights, there are some warning signs you should know. Image obtained from Pixabay One Headlight Is Out When one headlight goes out but the other remains lit, it's time to replace them. Driving with only one headlight is both dangerous and illegal. You're risking your safety and you could get a ticket. And, since headlights are usually replaced together, it's only a matter of time before your second headlight fails, too. more Your Headlights Have Grown Dimmer If you can tell that your headlights are dimmer than usual, it's a clear sign that they're losing effectiveness. Your bulbs may be dying, or there may be another issue with your car's electrical system. Either way, your headlights need some help. Flickering Headlights Headlights shouldn't flicker. If they do, you may have a loose bulb, a problem with your wiring, or an issue with the fuses in our car. Flickering is often followed by lights that stop working completely, so be sure to get this checked out. Headlight Color Changing Aging headlights can change color unexpectedly. Maybe they're getting more yellow or even turning pink. If your headlight bulb has changed color, it's probably nearing the end of its life and should be replaced soon. Moisture in the Headlight Housing Condensation trapped inside the headlight housing can cause poor visibility or lead to electrical problems. How did it get there? You may have a loose seal or a crack in your headlight lenses that allows water to enter. Frequent Bulb Replacements If you find yourself replacing headlight bulbs more frequently than you'd expect, it could indicate an electrical problem rather than an issue with the bulbs themselves. While headlights do burn out, if you have to replace them more than once in less than a year, you should have your car looked at. Physical Damage to the Lights Any cracks, broken plastic, or visible damage to your headlights can reduce their ability to perform. Damaged headlight lenses can also allow water to get into your headlights, possibly leading to electrical problems. Visibly damaged headlights should be replaced. Struggling To See at Night No matter what the cause, if you're struggling to see the road at night or in poor weather conditions, something isn't right. Reduced visibility is a serious safety risk that deserves immediate attention. Swing By Your Ford Dealer for New Headlights Ignoring signs that your headlights are failing can be hazardous for you and other drivers on the road. If you're concerned about your headlights' performance, the smartest thing to do is to visit the dealership and have them inspected. Keep your Ford's headlights in top working order. Call Lufkin Ford in Lufkin, TX, and schedule your next headlight inspection today.

4 Benefits of Getting a Tire Rotation for Your Ford

Hey there, Ford fans! Let's talk tires. Yes, those black things that keep you rolling. They might seem simple, but keeping them in tip-top shape makes a world of difference to your driving experience. Image obtained from Shutterstock Here's why rotating your tires is more important than you think: 1. Save your tires, save your money: As your trusty Ford travels the diverse Texan terrain, its tires face a constant battle. Uneven wear becomes the enemy, robbing your tires of their life and making them bald faster than you can say "road trip." But fear not! Rotating your tires regularly like a tire ninja, distributes the wear evenly, meaning they last longer, saving you cash on replacements. more 2. Fuel efficiency? It's in the tires: Ever wonder why your gas mileage seems to mysteriously drop? Unevenly worn tires can be the culprit. Think of it like this: the more worn your tires are, the harder they have to work to keep you moving, guzzling more gas than they need to. By rotating your tires, you ensure they roll smoothly and efficiently, saving you money at the pump and reducing your environmental impact. 3. Stay safe out there: Tires are your connection to the road, and when they're worn unevenly, it's like driving with blinders on. You lose traction and grip, especially in wet or slippery conditions, putting you and your passengers at risk. Regular tire rotations keep your contact patch (the area where the tire meets the road) nice and even, giving you the confidence and control you need to stay safe on the road. 4. Say goodbye to bumps and vibrations: You deserve a smooth ride, not a bumpy one. Unevenly worn tires can create imbalances that translate into unpleasant vibrations through the steering wheel and into the cabin. Think of it like driving on a bumpy dirt road, but constantly. But fear not! Rotate those tires regularly and enjoy a smooth, comfortable ride that will make you feel like you're gliding on clouds (or at least on well-maintained Texan highways). 5. Beyond the benefits: Rotating your tires isn't just about saving money and feeling good; it's about taking care of your car. It reduces stress on the suspension and drivetrain, meaning they last longer and avoid costly repairs. Plus, it helps maintain proper tire alignment, which further improves handling and stability. So, there you have it! Rotating your tires regularly is a simple yet powerful way to extend their life, save money, and drive safely and comfortably. Don't wait, head to your local Lufkin Ford dealership and let their tire ninja squad work their magic. They'll have you rolling smooth and happy in no time!

The Benefits of Financing Through Your Ford Dealership

You can get a lot of very helpful services at your Ford dealership to help you maintain your car. There's also an array of new and used cars to choose from when you stop by looking for a new right. However, did you know you can also apply for car financing right through your dealership? We'd love to talk to you about the benefits of this and how the process normally goes. Image obtained from Shutterstock It's Convenient Getting financing through your dealer is convenient, as you won't need to visit multiple locations in the process of buying a new car. You can get pre-approved for financing through the dealer online. Then you can go to the dealer, trade in your car, and pick out your new one in one trip. more It's Great for All Types of Credit Dealerships often offer financing to people with poor credit histories and who can't get loans through traditional lenders. As well as that, people with excellent credit scores sometimes qualify for fantastic promotional offers dealerships run. These offers often allow people with excellent credit to get loans with very low interest rates. It Doesn't Limit You Once you're approved for financing at a dealer, you have a huge selection of vehicles to choose from at that dealer, so your options feel unlimited. If you get approved for financing through a traditional lender, then you may not be able to pick the dealer you buy from at all. Sometimes the bank or credit union will ask you to select your new ride from a dealer already within their network. How to Apply for Car Financing Through Your Dealership Online Many dealers these days, including us, have forms you can fill out online. Just take a look at the top of the dealership's website and look for the word "finance." From there, you can access a page full of information on financing, and you can also apply for pre-approval online to save yourself a trip to the dealer. All the information you need will be right there in front of you, with the form guiding you through the process step-by-step. In Person If you prefer to do things face-to-face, then that's no problem. When you come to pick out your new car, just ask the salesperson assisting you about applying for financing through the dealership. The salesperson can walk you through the process of applying for financing then and there. Generally, you'll fill out a credit application, then the dealer will send it off to multiple lenders. You could have approvals coming in just a few hours later. Visit Lufkin Ford today to pick out your new car after being pre-approved for financing. Alternatively, stop by and apply for financing in person if that's what you'd prefer. If you have any questions, then call our sales team at 936-229-3539.

Close up of a Ford Technician replacing a battery.

Signs Your Ford Could Use a New Car Battery

One of the early signs that your Ford's battery might be reaching the end of its life is a slow engine crank. When you turn the key, and the engine cranks lethargically or struggles to start, it's time to consider the battery's condition. A healthy battery should power the engine with a swift and energetic crank. Image obtained from Shutterstock Dashboard Warning Lights Modern Ford vehicles are equipped with advanced diagnostic systems that can detect issues with various components, including the battery. If you notice warning lights on your dashboard, such as the battery or check engine light, it's a strong indication that your car's computer has identified a problem with the battery's performance. more Dimming Headlights and Interior Lights As your battery's power diminishes, you may observe a significant drop in the brightness of your headlights and interior lights. If you notice your lights dimming when you start the engine or while driving, it's a clear sign that your battery is struggling to maintain the necessary power levels. Electrical Component Malfunctions A failing battery can also lead to electrical malfunctions within your Ford. This could manifest as issues with power windows, radio, air conditioning, or other electrical components. If you experience problems with multiple electrical systems, it's wise to have your battery checked. Corrosion and Leakage Physically inspecting your battery is crucial. Corrosion or leakage around the battery terminals can lead to connectivity problems and significantly impact your battery's performance. If you notice any of these issues, it's an indication that your battery needs attention or replacement. Unpleasant Odors In some cases, a malfunctioning battery can emit a distinctive, unpleasant odor that resembles rotten eggs. This smell is often associated with a leaking or overcharging battery. If you detect this odor, it's essential to have your battery checked promptly. Aging Battery Finally, consider the age of your battery. Most car batteries have a lifespan of around 3 to 5 years, depending on usage and maintenance. If your battery is approaching or has surpassed this age range, it's wise to be proactive and consider a replacement, even if you haven't experienced any of the symptoms mentioned earlier. Your Ford's battery is a vital component that warrants your attention. Paying heed to these signs can help you avoid unexpected breakdowns and maintain the reliability of your vehicle. If you suspect that your Ford's battery is showing any of these symptoms, don't hesitate to reach out to Lufkin Ford for professional assistance and a battery check. We're here to ensure your Ford runs at its best, and a healthy battery is a key part of that equation.
