To ensure more owners are safe during the rainy season, Ford Philippines announced that it has extended a 10-percent discount on wiper blades and brake pads on select models.

According to Blue Oval brand’s local distributor, the latest promotion— which covers the brake pads and wiper blades of Ford Everest and Ranger model year 2012 onwards as well as the Ecosport and Territory (all model years) — can be availed until the end of September 2022.

Apart from that, the Ford Philippines also has an all-in battery package that starts at P6,300 (inclusive of parts and labor), for the Focus, Fiesta, Ecosport, Ranger or  Everest.

The aforementioned parts covered in the promo automatically come with a two-year warranty.

“To ensure a worry-free experience on the road, we encourage all our customers to visit a Ford dealer for proper vehicle check-up and maintenance. Get access to genuine Ford parts, advanced service facilities, and our network of Ford-trained technicians at our dealerships nationwide,” Ford Customer Service Division Director Patrick Manigbas was quoted as saying. 

“We also have special promotions for select parts which we know will provide more value for our customers,” he added.

Meanwhile, the American automotive company’s arm in the country shared the parts of a vehicle that are very essential during the rainy season.

Windshield wiper blades

Make sure to replace the rubber blades as soon as possible if it is already damaged since the driver needs to have a good view of the outside — especially when it is raining hard. Before heading out, clean the wiper blades with a wet cloth to remove stones or any debris that might be hiding underneath it.

Tires

Cars with tires have the higher chance of experiencing hydroplaning, which can lead to poor traction. Always do a quick visual check to see if the grooves are still deep enough. Also, service mechanics can check the age of the tires and advise if they need replacement.

Oil pan gaskets

Leaking engine and gear oils caused by damaged gaskets can lead to more trouble as water could possibly seep through it. Have it inspected by trusted mechanics to see if it needs to be replaced.

Anti-lock braking system

The anti-lock braking system is crucial as it gives the driver control over the vehicle during instant hard braking — even when driving on wet roads.

Ford Philippines noted that its vehicles equipped with ABS flash a warning message on the vehicle’s dashboard to tell the driver if it requires servicing.
