We know things might be a little different this year but there are still ways to celebrate and ensure that you’re staying healthy while getting to celebrate another fun holiday! Below we have put together a few ways to help you celebrate while staying safe whether that’s staying home or celebrating with the rest of the community! Take some time to check out those tips below and we hope you’ll put them to good use this Halloween weekend! And as always, if you’re in need of assistance when you’re ready to upgrade your ride, come see your favorite team at Joe Cooper Ford of Edmond! 

Virtual Costume Parties –

• Today’s age offers plenty of technology to a wide variety of audiences which means you can use them to your advantage this Halloween weekend! We recommend setting a time with friends and family that you all can join and enjoy the time together! And don’t forget to pass out the virtual candy! 

Make Masks A Costume Prop – 

• We know that it might be difficult to get your kiddos to wear those masks but if you make it part of their costume, you might have a winning way to stay safe this weekend. Some great options are surgeons, superheroes, or even evil characters! Be sure to double line with an approved mask! 

Spooky Movie Night 

• Things definitely look a lot different this year so maybe it’s time to switch up those traditions! Like having a spooky movie night instead of heading out to trick or treat! Of course, we recommend some fan-favorite age-appropriate movies like Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family, or Hocus Pocus! Did we say that one twice?! 

Outdoor Community Events – 

• If your community is having a few outdoor events, we encourage you to attend but be safe and mindful of you and your family while in attendance. Be sure to pack your masks and extras in case. Hand sanitizer is also a must-have these days. Always choose events where physical distancing and one-way walkthroughs are enforced. As always, remind your children of potential dangers when out and about and to always be on alert.

It’s time to shake, shake, shake it off and we’re not talking about that famous singer. We’re talking about bad driving habits that you’ve adopted over the years. We’re discussing those and why it’s so important to start developing better and safer driving habits. Get all of those details and more below! Once you’re ready to upgrade into a brand new Ford, come see your favorite Ford team right here at Joe Cooper Ford of Edmond and let us help you upgrade this October! 

Using your cellphone while behind the wheel. 

• We know it might be difficult to ignore your phone when you’re behind the wheel, but it’s essential to your safety that you keep your eyes on the road ahead. Distracted driving has become an increasingly important issue, more states have cracked down on the usage of a mobile device when driving. 

Driving with headphones on

• Listening to music coming through your vehicle’s radio can be distracting enough. Now add headphones to your ears. This is shutting out important vehicle and road noises that may be key indicators something is wrong. 

Changing lanes without signaling 

• Whether you’re in heavy traffic or not – it’s important to signal when you’re turning or changing lanes. Drivers need to know your intentions. Don’t be lazy, turn your blinker on and be a good driver. 

Speeding 

• We get it, you’re running late and traffic isn’t heavy – it’s easy to step on it a little bit. But did you know that in 2015, IIHS reported 27% of crash fatalities were related to speed. In short, slow down and get there safe. 

Tailgating 

• Following a vehicle too close while not paying close enough attention is a recipe for disaster. And can even result in a ticket. Keep at least one car length behind and stay safe. 

Not having your headlights on 

• Only needing your headlights at night is a habit to break. When weather conditions are poor or you’re traveling at dusk, turn them on. It’s important to make your presence known when you’re on the roadway. 

Not wearing a seatbelt 

Click it or ticket. It’s pretty simple and it keeps you safe. According to NHTSA—at least 27 million Americans still don’t buckle up yet seatbelts saved almost 14,000 lives in 2015 alone. So do us a favor, buckle up.

If you’re anything like us, you’re thrilled that fall is finally here! And while temperatures are dropping, we’re starting to carve pumpkins, and the apple cider is flowing, we can’t forget to service our vehicles this fall. That guide to a healthy Ford is waiting for you below and we look forward to assisting you with all of your vehicle needs this October! We hope to see you at the service center soon! 

First things first, address any known concerns your vehicle is currently suffering from. Whether it’s minor or major, make sure to clear up any issues to ensure no roadblocks or breakdowns along the way. It’s a great idea to schedule a service appointment and have our team take a look at your vehicle to ensure things are a-okay and you’re good to go! 

Next, everything should be in proper working order. This counts for every feature from your head and tail lights, interior lighting, dash lights and such. Replace your windshield wipers and ensure the frames are not bent, rusting, etc. What about those filters? Have you replaced those recently…no? Then swap them out. And how is your heating system? Is it ready to go? Let’s give that a little attention! Brakes, tires, battery, should we go on?! 

On to the fluids! It’s important to make sure that all of your fluid levels are properly filled and healthy. This is an easy task for our service team to complete so if you’re looking to have these taken care of in a moment’s notice, call our team and let us schedule an appointment for a time that fits into your busy schedule! 

Lastly, accessorize for the season! It’s important to have a bag packed with essentials that you may need along the way. For example, pack a sweater, blanket, gloves, and hat during the winter months. Don’t forget an ice scraper, extra windshield washer fluid, and a small shovel. Always keep specific items you’ll need for the current season. In the event of an emergency, you might need these items.

Are you ready to get your vehicle shining for the upcoming fall season? If so, we have four helpful ways for you to clean up your ride and get things back to how they should be. Take some time going over these tips, put them to use, and if you’re ready to ditch your old ride and start fresh, come see our team! We look forward to helping you keep your ride shining or assisting you in getting behind the wheel of a brand new Ford. See you soon! 

Decontaminate with a clay bar. Our vehicles are often contaminated with things like tree sap, road debris, and iron filings that can hurt our paint and bond to the surface of the clear coat. While these things can’t be washed away, using a clay bar will get rid of these contaminants and give your vehicle a better clean. 

Polish out those swirls. Regular washing combined with dirt, dust, road debris, and ice, can create a ‘spider-web’ appearance in your clear coat. Luckily, these are easy to remove with the right polish. 

Protect and seal. A freshly polished vehicle will need a layer of protective wax to ensure the complete and total protection. Some waxes will give you a deeper shine but won’t last as long. So be careful which you are selecting especially if you live in cold climates. But either way, this protective barrier is super important in keeping your vehicle looking shiny and healthy! 

Wash your vehicle regularly. It’s very important to keep your vehicle on a schedule for regular washes, especially in the fall and winter months when sand, ice, dirt, and more road debris are present. Be sure to spend a little extra and get your vehicle’s undercarriage washed as well. And be sure to wash your vehicle when temperatures are at their warmest in colder months to ensure that your windows and doors do not freeze. 

Are you getting ready for the upcoming season change? If so, we have your guide to ensuring that your vehicle is ready for that upcoming change! Below, you’ll find a few vehicle services to pay attention to when you’re servicing your vehicle. Or if you choose to have our team service your vehicle, just let us know what services you’re looking for and we will do the rest! Check out our guide below and be sure to schedule your appointment with our team online today – we hope to see you soon! 

Change your oil and oil filter 

• Oil is your engine’s life blood – which means it’s very important to have clean, healthy oil in your vehicle at all times. If not, it will lead to issues down the road from accumulated contaminants that cause friction inside the engine. So, schedule your oil change and let our team give your vehicle the green light for this upcoming fall season! 

How are your tires? 

• While we recommend checking your tires monthly, most people forget. And that’s alright – we’re here to help! While seasons change, our road conditions will change as well which makes it important to ensure that your tires are properly inflated and have proper tread. Also, don’t forget to check your spare tire as well. 

Examine belts and hoses 

• We encourage you to inspect the hoses and belts in your engine bay. This is important to ensure that there are no cracks, bulges, or breaks in your hoses because this can lead to issues down the road like an overheating vehicle. Also, your timing belt is crucial to the operation of your engine. If your belt shows excessive wear, cracking, or material loss, it’s time to replace it. 

Check on these items too 

• Wiper blades, your batter, and air filter. While we’re heading into a new season it’s important to be able to see when you’re out and about. If your wipers are streaky or show signs of wear and tear – replace them. It’s a great idea to have your battery check and ensure there is no corrosion around the terminals. And, your air filter should be changed every oil change, if it’s been a minute, swap it out!
