Schedule Service

Whether you are visiting us in Sioux Falls, SD for routine maintenance or a repair, you will find a team committed to long-term reliability and your peace of mind. We routinely welcome truck owners from Mitchell and Sioux City as well, and we are ready to help you keep your F-150 performing its best for years to come.

1. Every 5,000-7,500 miles: Change engine oil and filter, rotate tires, check brake pads and rotors, top off fluids (coolant, brake, windshield, power steering if applicable), and perform a multi-point inspection including belts, hoses, lights, and underbody fasteners.
2. Every 10,000-15,000 miles: Inspect and replace the engine air filter as needed—sooner if you drive on gravel or job sites—and replace the cabin air filter to maintain HVAC performance and defrost clarity.
3. Every 20,000-30,000 miles: Inspect brake fluid condition and exchange if contaminated or dark; check alignment if you notice pull, uneven tire wear, or steering off-center; inspect suspension components like ball joints, tie rods, and bushings.
4. Every 30,000-45,000 miles: Service 4×4 systems by inspecting transfer case and differential fluids; replace as recommended based on use. Check driveline U-joints for play and lubricate any serviceable fittings.
5. Every 50,000-60,000 miles: Evaluate transmission fluid condition and service as needed—especially if you tow or haul frequently—using the fluid type specified for your transmission. Inspect cooling system hoses and clamps, and consider a coolant exchange if due by time or condition.
6. Every 75,000-100,000 miles: Replace spark plugs per the manufacturer’s interval for your engine, inspect ignition coils, and test the battery’s health and charging system. Check exhaust hangers and heat shields for corrosion or looseness.
7. Every 2 years (time-based): Replace brake fluid to maintain a firm pedal and protect calipers, hoses, and ABS components from moisture-related wear, even if mileage is low. Inspect and replace wiper blades annually or sooner if streaking.
8. Before and after towing seasons: Inspect trailer wiring, brake controller operation, hitch components, and rear suspension ride height. Confirm transmission and differential fluids are healthy if you tow heavy loads or frequent boat ramps.
9. At each visit: Review tire pressure and adjust for load and temperature swings, torque wheel lug nuts after rotations, verify any open recalls or software updates, and address dashboard reminders or warning lights immediately.
10. As needed: Address vibrations, pulling, brake noise, fluid spots under the truck, or increased fuel consumption promptly—catching issues early usually means simpler, more affordable fixes and less downtime.

If your F-150 spends time idling at job sites, pulls a camper to the lakes, or runs on dusty county roads, we may tighten a few of these intervals to match your environment. Likewise, newer models with oil life monitoring can follow the system’s guidance when paired with the correct oil grade. For precise recommendations, consult your owner’s manual or contact our service team for guidance personalized to your truck, mileage, and usage.
