Ford Repair & Maintenance Performed with Accurate Diagnostics
Ford builds some of America’s most capable and enduring vehicles—delivering everything from the unstoppable work ethic of the F-150 (including hybrid PowerBoost and Lightning electric variants) to the family-hauling versatility of the Explorer and Escape, the off-road prowess of the Bronco, the compact utility of the Maverick, and the timeless thrill of the Mustang (with refreshed 2026 models featuring enhanced EcoBoost turbo power, Dark Horse performance upgrades, and advanced digital cockpits). In Florida’s hot, humid conditions and mixed driving demands—from coastal highways to towing boats or daily commutes—your Ford needs specialized care to stay reliable and efficient.
At Sherman’s Auto Repair in Sarasota, our ASE-certified technicians deliver precise, manufacturer-aligned service and repairs for all Ford models—at independent-shop pricing that offers dealership-quality expertise without the higher costs or extended waits.
Comprehensive Ford Repair Services
We begin every service with a detailed multi-point inspection and professional diagnostics using up-to-date scan tools, so recommendations are based on your vehicle’s actual condition—not just mileage or assumptions. No unnecessary parts or upsells. Our team handles the full range of Ford needs, including:
- Engine diagnostics, drivability repairs, and performance tuning (addressing common concerns like turbo issues on EcoBoost engines, hybrid system checks on PowerBoost models, or EV battery/charging diagnostics on Lightning and Mach-E)
- Check engine light testing and advanced OBD-II troubleshooting
- Transmission fluid services, diagnostics, and repairs (critical for the smooth-shifting 10-speed automatics in F-150s, Explorers, and other models)
- Brake inspection, pad/rotor replacement, caliper service, and ABS/electronic brake system work
- Suspension, steering, and chassis repairs—including alignments to handle Florida’s roads and maintain that solid Ford ride
- Electrical system troubleshooting (sensors, modules, infotainment with SYNC 4, advanced driver aids, and wiring common in modern Fords)
- Battery, starter, alternator testing, and replacement (vital in our climate for hybrids, EVs, and high-demand starts)
- A/C system service, refrigerant recharge, and diagnostics (essential for comfort in Sarasota summers)
- Oil changes and factory-scheduled maintenance (using Motorcraft® or equivalent approved fluids and following Ford’s intervals)
- Tire services, rotations, balancing, and alignments
- Multi-point inspections, active recall checks (we stay current with 2025-2026 updates like parking module software for rollaway prevention on Lightning/Mach-E/Maverick, headlight issues on Mach-E, or other ongoing campaigns), and preventative maintenance to preserve your warranty
Our technicians keep up with the latest Ford service bulletins, software updates, and tech advancements—especially important with Ford’s push into hybrids, EVs, and refreshed 2026 models like the Mustang’s performance packages and Explorer’s off-road Tremor trim.
Why Proper Diagnostics Matter for Ford Vehicles
Modern Ford vehicles rely heavily on electronic control systems. A single warning light can be caused by multiple underlying issues. Replacing parts without testing often leads to repeat failures, unnecessary expense, and unresolved problems.
At Sherman’s Auto Repair, we diagnose Ford vehicles by evaluating:
Fault codes and live data
Electrical integrity and voltage readings
Mechanical condition of related components
Manufacturer service information and specifications
This system-level approach helps us fix the real problem the first time.
ASE-Certified Ford Technicians You Can Trust
Your Ford is serviced by ASE-certified technicians who stay current with modern diagnostic methods and repair standards. We follow manufacturer-recommended procedures while offering a dealership-level alternative with clearer communication and practical repair guidance.
We also ensure that manufacturer warranties are protected by performing maintenance and repairs that meet required specifications.
