Off Road Recovery and Parts Care
Driving in dirt, mud, or sand puts extra stress on your Bronco. Let trained technicians handle the hard and dirty work for you.
Filter Checks and Replacements Dust can clog filters faster than normal. We inspect and replace engine and cabin air filters to help your engine breathe better and save fuel.
Undercarriage Cleaning and Inspection Mud and salt hold moisture and can cause rust. We clean the underside of your Bronco and check skid plates and heat shields for loose parts or trapped debris.
Deep Water Inspection Driving through deep water can let water enter fluids. Our team checks the differential and transfer case fluids and replaces them if needed to protect gears.
Roof, Body, and Seal Care
The Bronco roof needs proper care to stay quiet and dry.
Seal Care We treat weather seals with special lubricant to help stop wind noise and water leaks.
Roof Hardware Check Rough roads can loosen bolts and latches. We tighten everything to factory settings to prevent rattles.
Soft Top Care Automatic car washes can damage soft tops. We clean and protect them with treatments that help prevent fading and cracking.
Advanced Mechanical Care
Your Bronco uses advanced systems that require expert service.
Five Tire Rotation If you have a full-size spare, we rotate all five tires. This helps tires wear evenly and reduces stress on the drivetrain.
System Checks We test the battery and electronic systems to make sure your Bronco starts and runs strong, even in cold weather.
