Super Ford's Road Trip Maintenance Tips

Summer is in full swing and so are the road trips! With road trips comes a little maintenance to your vehicle to make sure everything is in tip top shape. Taking care of your vehicle should be a top priority to make sure you and your loved ones get to your destination safely. We at Larry H. Miller Super Ford Salt Lake have put together a short checklist of the top "to-do" to get your road trip off to a smooth start.

1. Basic Vehicle Checkup. Call us to schedule an appointment to have a check up done on your vehicle. Be sure to have wipers and fluids checked by the Service Department and get the oil changed if needed. Keeping these basics checked will help your vehicle's reliability on the road.

2. Check your tires. Before you put the rubber to the road, check those tires to make sure they are in driving shape. Do you know what to look for? Inspect the thread to be sure there is enough left on the tire for long periods of travel. See any tears or bulging? Get them changed out at your local dealership. Make sure the air pressure is set to your owner's manual suggestion - too much air and too little air will cause a tougher drive.

3. Emergency Check! Whether you are city driving or heading out to the country, be sure to always plan ahead for any issues that may arise. Some emergency items to make sure are in your vehicle are: water, blankets, jumper cables, flares, snacks, and a flashlight.

The 2014 Wounded Warriors Hi Five Tour at Larry H. Miller Super Ford Salt Lake

***PRESS RELEASE

High Five Tour 2014 Visits Larry H. Miller Super Ford on July 19 to Thank Nation’s Military Families

 

SALT LAKE CITY (July 15, 2014) – The Wounded Warriors Family Support High Five Tour 2014, which helps raise awareness and support for our nation’s military families, will stop at Larry H. Miller Super Ford in Salt Lake City on July 19 from 5-7 p.m.

“As a Ford dealer, we’re proud to support the High Five Tour for the third year and make a donation towards Wounded Warriors Family Support that will help build smart homes for two deserving veterans, Staff Sergeant Jason Ross, USMC, and Captain Anthony Simone, USAF,” said Tony Schnurr, general manager and partner at Larry H. Miller Super Ford. “We invite the public to join us on July 19 to sign the red, white and blue Mustang and give back what they can to support our nation’s veterans and their families.”

During the High Five Tour, Wounded Warriors Family Support’s red, white and blue 2014 Ford Mustang GT500 is traveling to 65 cities in 48 states on a mission to say “thank you” and show appreciation to our country’s military families for their sacrifices. The public is invited to show their support for military families by visiting Larry H. Miller Super Ford and signing the car with a message to this country’s veterans and their families.

The High Five Tour 2014’s mission is also to raise funds to build “smart homes” for two deserving wounded warriors and their families. Through the tour, Wounded Warriors Family Support has pledged $1 million to build “smart homes” for Staff Sergeant Jason Ross, USMC of San Diego, Calif., who lost both of his legs when he stepped on an improvised explosive device in 2011, and Captain Anthony Simone, USAF of Joliet, Ill., who suffered a severe brain injury and burns after his helicopter was shot down in Afghanistan in 2010. One hundred percent of all funds donated to the High Five Tour will go directly to the construction of the homes. The specially designed homes are custom-built to provide the severely wounded veterans quality of life and independence that otherwise would not be possible.

“The High Five Tour 2014 is about showing our support to military families across the nation,” said Colonel John Folsom, USMCR (Ret.), founder and president of Wounded Warriors Family Support. “Our mission is also to positively affect the lives of two wounded veterans — Staff Sergeant Ross and Captain Simone — who have made tremendous sacrifices in the line of duty. We’re excited to bring the High Five Tour 2014 to Larry H. Miller Super Ford in Salt Lake City.”

Spring Care Car TIps

Awesome news! April is car care month!

At Larry H. Miller Super Ford Salt Lake, we thought we'd put together some Spring Car Care tips for you to notice. The best time to get your car checked, is to have us conduct a multi-point inspection for your vehicle in our service department. Here are some other items to notice and check:

• All fluids: Your engine oil, power steering fluids, brake, transmission as well as windshield washer fluid, and the antifreeze coolant.
• Hoses and belts to make sure they are not cracked, brittle, frayed, loose or showing signs of excessive wear.
• Battery Life: along with making sure there is no acid build-up on the car battery. Also, look at the cables connected to them to make sure they're in good help.
• Brakes: Normally, you should have these checked at your oil changes, but when breaking while driving, check to see if everything feels right as well.
• Schedule a Spring tune-up: This will always help with your car's performance.
• Air Conditioner: The summer is coming fast, make sure you're prepared with a well working AC.
• Tires: This includes tire pressure and the tread tread. Keep in mind that uneven wear on the tires in an indication that you need an alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots.
• Wipers: You'll want to make sure your wipers cleanly wipe away water for the most optimal viewing out of your car's window.
• External Lighting: Break lights and head lights
