Here at the Prime Ford - Auburn service center, we
recommend a complete service at least once a year. Remember, how often
you service your vehicle depends on the number of miles you drive, how
well your car is maintained, weather conditions, and the surfaces of the
road you drive on. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, you may
want to bring your vehicle in for service sooner.
It is recommended to get an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000
miles. Newer models can typically last every 7,000 miles or every three
months, depending on how much you drive. If you are driving more than
usual or if you hear increased engine noise, you may want to bring your
vehicle down to our Ford service center to ensure that you're up to date on oil maintenance and any other related needs.

Brake pads do wear out over time. Generally, brake pads can be replaced every 50,000 miles, but this depends on your driving habits and the brake material. Brake pads are available in several compounds to suit various driving needs.
Depending on your driving habits and various weather conditions, you should consider changing your car battery every 3 to 4 years. If you are having a hard time starting your vehicle or if you see that your headlights are dim, you may need to replace your battery sooner.
