Dealers are great for warranty-related work since they're trained on EV-specific issues. They know their stuff so they want payment for the knowledge and experience for it. But for general maintenance like tire rotations or cabin air filter changes, independent shops can save you a good chunk of...

Honestly, less is more with this type of job. Start with some gentle heat, and if that doesn’t loosen it enough, move to a plastic scraper. Avoid using metal tools or harsh chemicals that could damage the trim underneath. If you’re still worried, consider consulting a professional detailer. It’s...

For EVs like the Mach-E, the service is pretty minimal compared to traditional cars. Definitely go for the tire rotation and consider checking the alignment if the roads in your area are rough. If you want to go the extra mile, check the coolant levels for the battery system, even though it’s...

I was skeptical at first, too, because EVs are so low-maintenance compared to ICE cars. But after my first service, I was glad I took the Mach-E in. For one, they caught a small alignment issue early (tire rotation revealed uneven wear), and the tech confirmed all my software and module updates...
