While 94% of the time you only regularly use one key for your Ford vehicle, there will always be a day you leave one set locked in the house or in the car. For times like those, it’s important to have a spare key (or two). Most car purchases include two keys, but if you bought a used car and only got one, or have tendency to forget where you put important items, it might be good to stock up now. We at Houston Ford are happy to help you get keys before you need them. Here’s a little bit about how to get new keys for your Ford vehicle.

While most anything that makes your SUV shake at high speeds will call for a trip to the shop, it’s always nice to have a reasons for the rattle. If you’ve ever asked yourself “Why does my Ford Explorer shake over 60mph?” here are three possible explanations. Your local car service professional can diagnose the exact cause, and get you back on the road without feeling shaken and stirred.

Rusty, dirty or battered brake rotors can cause shake

Dirt, wear or even irregular rusting patterns on brake rotors, especially on older cars, can influence not just how well your vehicle stops but the feel of your ride over certain speeds. Depending on the problem, the rotors can be cleaned, replaced or filed down to smooth out your Ford Explorer‘s ride.
