Seasonal Servicing Insights

Throughout the changing seasons, it's crucial that we adjust our servicing strategies to match the specific demands of the Jersey Shore's varying climate. As we transition from the salty air and humid summers to the brisk, frosty winters, our Fords need different types of attention to stay in top condition. Let's dive into the seasonal servicing insights that'll keep you cruising along our beautiful coastline with confidence.


In the summer, fluid checks are imperative. We ensure your cooling system is full to prevent overheating, and we monitor brake fluids closely, as they can deplete faster in higher temperatures. Come winter, we're on high alert for any signs of freezing or contamination in your fluids, which can have detrimental effects on your vehicle's performance.


Brake inspections are another cornerstone of our seasonal servicing. With the Jersey Shore's unpredictable weather, from sudden downpours to icy roads, well-maintained brakes are non-negotiable for your safety. We thoroughly inspect brake pads, rotors, and fluid lines, making sure they're ready to handle whatever Mother Nature throws our way.


Join us at Celebrity Ford of Toms River, and we'll make sure your Ford is prepared for every season, ensuring you feel a sense of belonging on every journey along the shore.

Engine Care Essentials

Maintaining your Ford's engine is critical to ensuring a smooth ride on the Jersey Shore. At Celebrity Ford of Toms River, we've got the expertise to keep it in prime condition.


Regular oil changes are the lifeblood of engine care, vital for lubricating moving parts and preventing wear. We're here to ensure your vehicle gets the right grade of oil at the correct intervals, safeguarding your engine's performance and longevity.


Filter replacements are just as crucial. A clean air filter ensures your engine breathes effortlessly, enhancing efficiency and power. Don't overlook the fuel filter either; it's your engine's defense against impurities, which, if neglected, can lead to costly repairs. We're committed to using high-quality filters tailored specifically for your Ford.


At Celebrity Ford, we're more than just a service center; we're a community of Ford enthusiasts. We share your passion for the road and understand the importance of a reliable engine. Trust us to treat your vehicle with the care it deserves, keeping you confidently cruising along the coast.

Tire Maintenance and Safety

Beyond engine care, we're also dedicated to ensuring your Ford's tires are in top shape, providing the safety and performance you need on the road. Regular tire maintenance is a crucial aspect of vehicle care that we take seriously here at Celebrity Ford of Toms River.


We're all part of a community that values safety and reliability, and we understand that every member's well-being on the road starts with properly maintained tires.


Wheel alignment isn't just a technical term; it's a commitment to your vehicle's optimal handling and tire longevity. That's why we recommend having your alignment checked with every oil change. A misaligned vehicle can lead to uneven tire wear, poor handling, and a decrease in fuel efficiency.


We also can't stress enough the importance of regular pressure checks. Driving with improperly inflated tires can compromise your vehicle's stability and your fuel economy. It also increases the risk of tire failure.


You can count on us to keep your tires inflated to the manufacturer's recommended levels, ensuring you're always ready for whatever the Jersey Shore roads throw at you.

Together, let's keep your Ford cruising safely and smoothly, one tire at a time.

Battery Life on the Shore

We're aware that the salty sea air and fluctuating coastal temperatures can take a toll on your Ford's battery life, so we've got a few tips to help you avoid any unexpected power issues.


Salt corrosion is a silent menace that can lead to reduced battery efficiency and longevity. To combat this, we recommend regular check-ups to clean any visible corrosion with a mixture of baking soda and water, ensuring your battery's terminals stay pristine.


Moreover, your charging habits play a pivotal role in extending your battery's life. It's crucial not to let your vehicle sit idle for too long; a regular drive helps maintain the battery's charge level. If you're planning to leave your Ford parked for an extended period, consider investing in a maintenance charger to keep the battery in top condition.


At Celebrity Ford of Toms River, we're all about creating a community of Ford owners who care for their vehicles as much as we do. That's why we're here to offer advice and services that ensure you're never stranded, especially when you're enjoying the beautiful Jersey Shore.


Let's keep those Ford engines starting smoothly every time.
