Between school runs, weekend lake drives, morning commutes, and errands around Polk and Dallas County, your vehicle is constantly working to keep up with your life. But when was the last time you returned the favor with a little preventative care?
At Granger Service Ford Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we know that routine vehicle maintenance is about protecting your time, your safety, and your investment. And best of all? We make it simple, fast, and stress-free for families and drivers across central Iowa.
Preventative maintenance is a habit that helps you stay in control. Just like regular health check-ups, a proactive approach to vehicle care keeps things running smoothly and helps you avoid unpleasant surprises. With just a few routine check-ins, you can extend your vehicle’s life, improve safety, and save money in the long run.

Here are a few reasons why those preventative measures really do go a long way:
1. Prevent Big Problems with Routine Visits
Routine maintenance might feel like just another thing on your to-do list, but it’s the best way to avoid costly repairs later. Over a 10-year ownership period, Ford owners spend an average of $5,400 on maintenance and repairs. But that cost could be much lower with regular upkeep. A quick oil change can reveal early signs of fluid leaks or engine wear. Regular tire rotations help catch uneven tread and misalignment/ Sticking to a consistent maintenance schedule means hundreds of dollars in savings with just presentive checkups.
At Granger Service, our factory-trained technicians do more than perform the job. They inspect your vehicle thoroughly and alert you to potential issues before they become major headaches. That’s peace of mind, built right into your service.
2. Stay Ahead of Unexpected Downtime
In a place like Granger, where getting from point A to B often means rural roads and longer drives, a reliable vehicle is essential. Whether you're heading to a soccer game in Waukee or commuting into Des Moines, no one wants to deal with car trouble on the side of the road.
Keeping up with scheduled maintenance helps reduce the chance of unexpected breakdowns, so your day runs on time. Think of it like insurance for your daily routine keeps you on track and out of the shop.
3. Improve Fuel Efficiency and Performance
Routine service helps your car run smarter, not harder. Dirty air filters, worn spark plugs, and underinflated tires all make your engine work overtime, especially during Iowa summers when heat and heavy loads already strain your vehicle.
Our team checks the details—air filters, tire pressure, fluids, and more—to help you get the most miles per gallon and smooth, reliable performance every time you hit the road.
