What happens at the first service for a Mustang Mach-E

[Sile_de_Tansarville]

Hey everyone, Our Mustang Mach-E is approaching its first anniversary with just under 10,000 miles on the clock. Overall, it’s been fantastic, only hiccup was a BCM replacement, which the dealer handled smoothly.

Recently, I got a notification on the Ford app recommending a regular 10k mile service. I’ve always been diligent about scheduled maintenance for traditional gas cars, but with an EV, I’m a little unsure. It’s not like there’s an oil change involved, and I wonder if this service is mostly a check-up that ends up just costing money without much real benefit.

Has anyone else done their 1-year service? What did it involve, and was it worth it? Would love to hear some opinions before I decide whether to schedule it.

It is highly recommended. Tire rotation and visual inspection.

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 were good to go. With EVs, those updates can significantly improve efficiency, range, and even driving behavior, so that alone made it worth it for me. If you’re on the fence, ask the dealer for a detailed checklist of what they’ll do, most are happy to explain, and then you can decide if it’s worth the trip.

Just stick to the recommended maintenance schedule for your Mach-E.

I did the 10k service for our Mach-E, and it was mostly tire rotation and a quick inspection of the brakes and fluids. It felt like a routine check-up, but I think it’s worth it for peace of mind, especially if the dealer handles updates or catches early wear and tear. Definitely ask about software updates, that alone makes it worthwhile.
