Your vehicle is an important investment, and you trust it to be reliable for a variety of reasons. The last thing you want is to break down and get stranded because of inferior parts. OEM parts have distinct advantages over aftermarket parts.

The parts from the dealer will be the original type part your car was designed with, and there will be only one choice. Unlike aftermarket parts that have a variety of choices from different vendors.

There is a greater assurance of quality from OEM parts because they were made to the same standards as the part that came…

For many people having a car is not just a life necessity, but also needed for their job. It gives people the mobility they need to stay efficient and be able to fulfill their daily tasks.

However, if you don’t have a car but need one, there are many things to consider. One of the things to take into account is the amount of money you can afford to spend on a vehicle monthly. Leasing will often be cheaper monthly, so you can have more cash and still have the car.

Leasing a car offers you a new vehicle…

?When embarking on a long trip, you need to make sure that you are really prepared for the journey. This is not just a simple trip across the city; this can be a long journey and one that you will regret if you are not prepared. The main thing is to make sure you have ID tags for the pet as well as make sure that they have been looked at by a vet. After this, you need to make sure that you consider the vehicle that you will be carrying your pet in.

Not all vehicles are created equal…

If you're shopping the sports car segment for your next automotive purchase, we here at Central Ford have a sneaking suspicion you'll find a great deal to appreciate about ours, the 2017 Mustang.

"Such as what?" you wonder.

Allow carwow critic Mat Watson to provide you with some context; his appraisal of the Mustang is as follows:

No doubt the meanest, most muscular member of the Mustang family, the top-of-the-line 5.0-liter V8 engine is not for the faint at heart.

Available solely with the GT trim, this eight-banger boasts a brutish 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of…

Are you seeking a midsize sedan for your next daily driver? Well, if so, we here at Central Ford would be quick to couple you up with ours, the 2017 Fusion.

Yet, why would we do so?

AutoGuide.com Managing Editor Jodi Lai is here to explain; join her in the clip below:

Climb to the pinnacle of the Fusion model range and it is there you'll discover the superbly equipped V6 Sport.

Standard amenities on this iteration include an athletic, 325-horsepower turbo-V6 engine, an all-wheel-drive system, a unique grille, 19-inch wheels, quad exhaust outlets, a rear spoiler, adjustable…

We know that some of the fun of driving a muscle car is the roar of the engine with every acceleration but, as we all know, not everyone appreciates this noise like we do. So, to solve this issue, the American automaker has given the upcoming 2018 Ford Mustang a Quiet Exhaust mode that, as you'd guess, makes the exhaust note considerably quieter! There's also a Quiet Start mode and even Quiet Time settings so you can automatically muffle the engine noise at specific times. Your neighbors will love you for it!

 

You've heard that using an old-fashioned terry towel on your car is a great way to scratch the paint, and leave behind "micro-marring," or fine scratches and swirls. To prevent this, you should only use microfiber when washing your new Ford.

But what kind or microfiber towel?

One of the most important features to look for when choosing the right towel for the task is GSM. It stands for grams per square meter, and it measures the density of the towel, which gives you an idea of the thickness, absorptivity, and pile length.

Those thin, low-pile microfiber towels you…

As one of the most popular automotive segments around, there are plenty of pickup trucks to choose from these days. Most of them are pretty similar: practical work machines with some modern conveniences for the family. It can sometimes be difficult to find a truly unique pickup.
