What Should I Do When My Check Engine Light Comes On?

If your check engine light illuminates on your dashboard, it's important to get it checked out promptly. This warning light can indicate a variety of potential issues, ranging from minor to more serious. Bring your vehicle to the service center at Jannell Ford of Hanover and our technicians will run a diagnostic test to identify the problem. Ignoring a check engine light can lead to further damage, so don't delay in getting it inspected if you live in the Hanover area. For car owners in Brockton, the high-quality service center at Jannell Ford of Hanover is an easy drive.

How often should I get my oil changed?

Regular oil changes are one of the most important types of routine maintenance for keeping your engine running smoothly. For most newer vehicles, oil changes are recommended every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. However, this interval may be different for your particular make and model. Consult your owner's manual or ask the service advisors at Jannell Ford of Hanover for your vehicle's ideal oil change schedule. Drivers in Weymouth can trust the experienced technicians at our service center to perform quick, high-quality oil changes using the correct grade of oil for their vehicle.

How often should I get my tires rotated?

Having your tires rotated regularly helps them wear evenly, improving your vehicle's handling and extending the life of the tires. In general, a tire rotation is recommended about every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. This service is often performed at the same time as an oil change. The service team at Jannell Ford of Hanover can inspect your tires and let you know if a rotation is needed. We make it easy and convenient for drivers in Marshfield to get their tires rotated.

How often should I have my brakes checked and replaced?

Your brakes are one of the most critical safety features on your vehicle, so it's important to have them inspected regularly. Brake pads generally need to be replaced every 30,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and conditions. If you hear squealing or grinding noises when braking, feel a vibration in the brake pedal, or notice your vehicle pulling to one side when braking, it's time for an inspection, and we are an easy drive from Plymouth, MA.

How often should I replace my battery?

Most car batteries last three to five years, but factors like extreme temperatures, frequent short trips, or leaving your car parked for extended periods can shorten their lifespan. Watch for signs like an engine that is slow to crank, dimming headlights, or a battery warning light on your dash. If you notice any of these symptoms, have your battery tested at our service center.

What is a Multi-Point Inspection?

During a multi-point inspection, our trained technicians thoroughly examine your vehicle's major components and systems. This includes checking fluid levels, lights, belts, hoses, steering, suspension, tires, brakes, and more. We recommend having this inspection done at least once a year to catch any emerging issues before they turn into bigger problems. It's a smart way for Hanover vehicle owners to stay on top of their car's health.
