Prepare Your Ford For Winter. Don't let Old Man Winter put the brakes on your driving escapades! Glide through this groovy checklist to avoid frigid surprises like non-starters, icy doors and windows, frozen engines, and slip n' slide accidents. Oh, and don't forget our CMH Ford Randburg super-cool pre-winter vehicle tune-up special - be the snow queen or king as you tackle whatever Frosty throws your way!

Check Your Tyres

Alright folks, first things first - give your tires a good ol' look-see! You see, worn-out tires and frosty roads make for a slippery dance that you really don't wanna tango with. Are increases in stopping distance? Yikes! So, do yourself a favour and grab yourself one of those snazzy, budget-friendly tire tread depth gauges to check the grooves on your rubber road buddies. Safety first, am I right?

Examine Your Battery

Next, examine your battery. Avoid getting stuck due to a dead battery by checking its condition with a computerized battery tester. This will assess voltage, internal resistance, and conductance - providing a comprehensive evaluation of your battery, starter, and charging system. Oh, you'll absolutely love this! Grab a tester that's perfect for conventional lead-acid batteries, gel batteries, and even those fancy absorbed glass mat (AGM) styles. The best part? You can use it on your motorcycle and become the hero your lawn mower always needed! Or simply visit our CMH Ford Randburg Parts store to buy a brand-new one.

Lubricate Your Windows

Ensure cold weather doesn't hinder your car windows. Unlubricated windows may become stuck and damage the entire system. Save yourself costly repairs by lubricating the window tracks with spray or dry Teflon spray lubricant. Before you lube up those window tracks, make sure the window's lowered first! Give your front and back tracks some love, then work that window in a few open-and-shut dance moves for a smooth, even spread. Once you're done, grab that glass cleaner and wipe away the evidence like it never even happened. Or simply roll in our CMH Ford Randburg Parts Store for supplies. Wink wink!

Change Your Cabin Filter

Don't neglect your car's cabin air filter! A worn-out filter can cause stuffy, overheated rides and impact your budget. Keep blower motors efficient and passengers comfortable by replacing the old filter with a new one from any auto parts store. Be sure to follow airflow directions when installing it. Visit our CMH Ford Randburg Service workshop for more.

Check If Your Heater is Working

There's nothing more delightfully chilly than hopping into your car on a freezing winter morning, only to discover that your car heater has decided to give you the cold shoulder - literally. It's as if your car heater is trying to win the "I'm not hot enough" award.

Fear not, however, because should your little car heater decide it doesn't want to play nice, you're in luck! Believe it or not, automobile heating systems haven't really evolved much since MC Hammer's parachute pants were all the rage. So, even though other parts of your car might be wrapped in a modern mystery, heating systems have kept it old-school cool.

For the ultimate check for your heater, click here with your trembling, frostbitten fingers to book a full Pre-Winter Check at CMH Ford Randburg!

Clean Your Battery Terminals

Lastly, pay attention to battery terminals! Corroded posts and terminals can cause hard-starting issues and a problematic charging system. Clean them by disconnecting cables in order (negative first), brushing terminal posts with a cleaning tool or wire brush, and then wiping away grease and acid residue. Do yourself a favour and give your terminals a good cleaning. Start by disconnecting the negative cable first and then the positive, and clean up the battery terminal posts with a handy cleaning tool or wire brush. Do the same for the cable terminals. Then wipe away grease and acid residue from the battery with a paper towel. Finally, reinstall the positive cable followed by the negative cable. Ta-da! Your ride is ready to take on winter with a smile.

Don't let Jack Frost catch your Ford off-guard! Secure your spot for a pre-winter inspection before Mother Nature unleashes her icy wrath. Give your trusty vehicle the royal treatment with our top-notch Ford warriors at CMH Ford Randburg – ahem, professionals – who are ready to winter-proof your ride in no time. Laugh in the face of frosty mornings, knowing you're geared up to tackle anything winter throws at you!

What is vehicle maintenance?

Vehicle maintenance and servicing come into play when a vehicle has completed a certain number of kilometres while it runs or when it does not give a proper performance.

Effective vehicle maintenance is of primary importance as it increases vehicle reliability and limits the risk of a malfunction and the resale value of your vehicle - proper vehicle maintenance also minimises harmful exhaust emissions and reduces carbon footprint.

Vehicle owners are encouraged to carry out regular and periodic maintenance checks.

Here are the most important car maintenance services you need to know:

Change Your Oil Regularly

• Change Your Oil Regularly • Rotate Your Tires & Check Air Pressure • Check Your Battery's Charge • Replace Worn-Down Brake Pads • Replace Your Air Filter • Check Hoses & Belts • Replace Old Spark Plugs.

Keeping up with your routine car maintenance service prevents parts from breaking and detrimental issues from arising. It also increases your safety while on the road. If you constantly take care of your vehicle and check the systems that might develop problems, you will take away the risk of dealing with a malfunctioning car. At Kempster Ford Durban, we have a well-trained and fully equipped service team to ensure your vehicle is up and running smoothly and in excellent condition.

For your vehicle maintenance and excellent service, visit or contact CMH Kempster Ford Durban.

You can contact Kempster Ford Durban on 0313130800 or visit us at 901 Umgeni Road, Durban.

At Kempster Ford Umhlanga we pride ourselves on selling well-maintained and reliable vehicles. Here are a few tips to ensure your vehicle is kept in excellent condition.

Check up on your vehicle fluids

- Engine Oil

- Brake Fluid

- Coolant

- Transmission Fluid

If you notice any leaks, you should get them looked at as soon as possible. Any of these leaks could negatively affect your vehicle's performance.

Wash your vehicles regularly

During the day your vehicle is exposed to harsh weather, extreme sunlight or even frost.

Keeping your vehicle clean will help prevent long-term damage to the body and reduce the risk of fading paint.

Keep your leather seats from cracking or drying out

When considering long-term use, leather seats are quite durable, but if not properly cared for over time they will crack or wear slightly.

Use a leather cleaner to clear out stains and finish with a leather protector to keep that shine and strength. It also makes it easier to clean in the future.

Do the same for your cloth seats. This is because cloth seats are much more difficult to maintain but a quick vacuum, wipe with a wet cloth and a cleaning agent will ensure clean and neat seats.

Touch up your nicks or scratches

Making sure your scratches or nicks are touched up plays a huge role when discussing vehicle rust. A visit to your nearest dealership or panel beaters for a quick fix can save you thousands in the long run.

Maintain the correct tyre pressure

If you want value for money with your tyres, ensuring the correct levels or tyre pressure is crucial.

Wheel alignment checks

Poor wheel alignment could shorten your tyre lifespan and affect your vehicle handling. Here at CMH Kempster Ford Umhlanga, we offer wheel alignment checks.

Spark plugs

Changing your plugs when needed plays a huge role in your vehicle's performance. This can be checked when your vehicle is due for a service. Kempster Ford Umhlanga offers a fantastic service facility alongside express servicing for your convenience.

These are just a few simple tips that won’t take up much time and some can be done in your own garage. A neat and well-maintained vehicle not only allows you to have peace of mind when driving but will help you get more value when trading in your car.
