Need New Headlights? Visit Your Local Dealership
When you need new headlights, the best place to get them is from your dealership. Here’s how to tell that it’s time for some new bulbs.
Noticeable Color Shift in Headlight Beam
If you observe a color shift in your headlight beam, such as it turning pinkish or blue or yellow, this can indicate that the bulbs are nearing the end of their life. This color shift is often more apparent in HID (High-Intensity Discharge) bulbs.
Unusual Light Patterns on the Road
Pay attention to the pattern your headlights cast on the road. If the light pattern becomes uneven or shows dark spots, it could mean the headlight bulbs are deteriorating. Proper illumination should provide a consistent, even spread of light.
Struggling to Illuminate Nighttime Roads
When driving on newly upgraded or well-lit roads, if your headlights seem to make little difference, it might be time for an upgrade. If you find it harder to spot animals or pedestrians at night than you used to, it could be due to fading headlight brightness. New, more powerful headlights can enhance your ability to see and react to these hazards.
Pay attention to how often you’re using your high beams, too. You should never be using these except when you’re driving on roads with no street lighting and when there are few other drivers around. If you’re constantly using them because you think you can’t see without them, you need replacement headlights.
Increased Difficulty During Twilight Hours
Full dark isn’t the only time you need your headlights: they’re also crucial at twilight, when the color of the sky and the color of the road become one. They’re also essential for other drivers to see you, especially if you drive a gray, silver, or dark-colored car. Twilight can be one of the most challenging times to drive, so if you notice your headlights are not providing enough illumination during these hours, get new ones.
Visible Cracks or Damage to Headlight Housing
Physical damage to the headlight housing, such as cracks or holes, can impact the performance of your headlights. The damage allows external elements to affect the bulbs, and you don’t want that. A bit of rain getting in, for instance, could cause your hot bulb to burst.
Headlight Switch Issues
If you’re experiencing issues with the headlight switch, such as difficulty in turning the lights on or off, get it looked at. While the primary issue might be electrical, get the whole headlight assembly looked at and evaluate the condition of the headlights themselves.
Need some new bulbs for your lights? Need a check to find out if the assembly is ok? Whatever your car needs, bring it to us at Fury Motors.
6 Signs You Need Brake Service From Your Ford Dealer
You gently press on the brake pedal and hear a squealing sound. You know at once that it’s not normal, so you decide to visit the Ford dealer to get brake service. If you get service at the first sign of trouble, then it’s generally pretty easy to fix the problem.
1. Visibly Worn Brake Pads
Visually inspect your car every few weeks. That way, you can see some problems before they start interfering with your car’s functioning. Look between your wheel spokes to get a glimpse of the brake pads and rotors. If it looks like your brake pad is thinner than 1/4 inch, then you should go get your brakes inspected. If the rotors look warped, then it’s another sign you need to visit the dealer.
2. Squealing Sounds
If you don’t see when your brake pads have become too thin, then you’ll hear it. The rubber of the pad will wear away to reveal a brake pad wear indicator, which is metal. This metal scratches against your metal rotor when you use your brake pedal, and it results in a squealing sound that tells you it’s time for a brake pad replacement.
3. Vehicle Pulling
Your car shouldn’t pull to one side when you hit the brakes, but it can happen if there’s dirt or debris in your brake fluid. It can also happen if your brake linings or rotors are starting to wear down unevenly. You’ll need a mechanic to take a look and figure out what the problem is.
4. Reduced Brake Responsiveness
If it starts taking longer to stop when you use the brakes, or if you have to press the brake pedal harder than usual to stop, then there could be some kind of leak in the braking system. It could be a brake fluid leak or an air leak, and both problems need to be fixed promptly.
5. Reduced Brake Pedal Resistance
Another sign of a leak is a soft or spongy brake pedal. Basically, it’ll feel like the pedal sinks to the floor with very little resistance when you use it. This can be a sign of other issues with the braking system, too, so you’ll need a Ford expert to get to the bottom of the problem.
6. Grinding Noise
Brakes that grind or growl when used are in serious need of new brake pads. If your brake pads have worn down so much that you’re hearing grinding sounds, then your rotors may be sustaining damage every time you use the brakes. You might need new rotors as well as new brake pads when you visit the dealer for service.
Come to Fury Motors to get your brakes checked and repaired by our factory-trained mechanics. Stopping by for routine maintenance will also help you combat brake trouble before it starts.
Your Jeep will last longer if you visit the Jeep dealer regularly for a range of essential services. Jeep maintenance can add years to your car’s life and help it retain as much of its value as possible as the years go on. Let’s take a look at some of the most essential services you should be getting from your dealer regularly.
Fluid Top-Offs and Changes
Your Jeep needs regular fluid top-offs. Driving without enough of each fluid can be damaging. For instance, driving with too little motor oil strains your engine and can cause wear and tear that’s pricey to fix. Check your fluid levels often and visit the dealer to get them topped off.
You’ll also need certain fluids changed out frequently. Most Jeep cars need their oil changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Transmission fluid should be flushed after driving 30,000 miles. Other fluids will also need to be changed out, and how often each one needs to be changed depends on the car’s age and model.
General Tune-Up
Your air filter, fuel filter, alternator belt, spark plugs, oxygen sensor, and many other vital parts will be replaced during a tuneup. Tune-ups basically make sure your car is full of undamaged components that work as they should, so you’ll need to get tune-ups regularly to prevent parts of your car from breaking down and causing problems.
Tire and Wheel Maintenance
Tires require maintenance to last as long as possible and remain in great condition. Some forms of tire maintenance you’ll need every so often include tire rotations and tire balancing. Getting your wheels aligned is also essential. You’ll also need to monitor your tire pressure and have more air added whenever necessary. Keep an eye on your tire tread and get it inspected, too.
If you keep your tires in good condition, then you’ll make sure rides stay comfortable. You’ll also help prevent strain on certain parts of your car, as driving on poorly maintained tires creates excess vibration that damages parts such as the suspension system.
Brake Inspection
You should regularly have your braking system inspected to ensure it’s in good working condition. Some parts of it need a little TLC from time to time. Brake pads need to be replaced regularly, and rotors sometimes need to be resurfaced or replaced. Making sure the braking system works as it should keeps you safe and helps the system remain in good health for years.
If you get the services above, then your Jeep should be a joy to drive for many years. Come and get all of these services and more at Fury Motors.

If you’re in the market for your next dream vehicle, there’s a decent chance you’ll end up financing it. Arranging dealership financing through your Ford dealer is easy, and you’ll likely score a low-interest rate. It helps, though, if you come prepared. Here’s how to navigate the financing process.
Check Your Credit Score First
Your credit score plays a major role in determining what type of interest rate you’re offered. The better your credit score is, the more likely you are to be offered a favorable, low-interest rate, which saves you money over the life of the loan. It’s a good idea to check your credit score before starting to shop around. If your credit score is low, you might consider postponing your purchase while you work on bringing it up.
Even if you can’t delay your purchase, knowing your credit score gives you a good idea about the type of financing offers you can expect so that you can plan accordingly.
Pay Attention to the APR
A lot of numbers will be mentioned when you’re arranging financing, but the one to pay attention to is the APR. The annual percentage rate is the interest rate you’ll pay on the amount you finance. The lower the APR is, the less you’ll pay to finance the vehicle.
Keep the Term of the Loan As Short as Possible
You may have the option of going with a longer-term loan, which means your monthly payments will be stretched out over a longer period of time. Longer-term loans typically offer lower monthly payments, which can be appealing. But keep in mind that the longer it takes you to pay off the amount you borrowed, the more you’ll pay in interest. Keep the term of your loan as short as your monthly budget will allow.
Always Make a Down Payment
When you make a down payment, you lower the total amount you need to borrow for the car. The less you need to borrow, the more likely you are to be offered a low-interest rate. Always make a down payment when you’re purchasing a vehicle.
Keep Your Budget In Mind
Buying a new vehicle is pretty exciting, and you’ll have the option of adding on some pretty appealing amenities. Keep your monthly budget in mind, and try not to get carried away with the process. The vehicle you purchase should carry a monthly payment that fits into your budget. Think carefully about the cost of any vehicle you are considering and make sure you can truly afford it.
Financing a vehicle isn’t difficult, especially if you follow a few simple rules of thumb. When you’re ready to purchase your next vehicle, head straight to Fury Motors.
