Expert Ford maintenance and repair from ASE-certified technicians at ExperTec Automotive Costa Mesa.
From F-150 pickups and Explorers to Escapes, Mustangs and Transit vans, Fords are everywhere on Costa Mesa roads, and many of them work hard for a living. Our Costa Mesa team keeps Ford cars, trucks and SUVs running reliably, whether you drive one to work or rely on a fleet of them.
Our ASE-certified technicians are experienced with every Ford engine, including EcoBoost turbo engines, the 5.0L V8, Power Stroke diesels and Ford hybrids. We use advanced diagnostic equipment and OEM-quality parts to deliver dealership-level repairs without the dealership price.
From routine oil changes and brake jobs to cooling system and transmission repairs, we’ll tell you exactly what your Ford needs and stand behind the work with a nationwide warranty.
Most modern Fords use the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor, which calculates when your oil change is due based on how you drive. Ford also publishes a mileage-based schedule for filters, fluids and spark plugs, and a separate “special operating conditions” schedule for towing, dusty roads and heavy stop-and-go use.
Upon completion of the standard maintenance tasks we provide an additional 30-point inspection to make sure that all components in your Ford are up to date and working well.
Every oil change (Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor)
~20,000 miles
~30,000 miles
~60,000 to 100,000 miles
~100,000 miles
~150,000 miles
Shorter intervals apply if you tow, haul, idle for long periods or drive in heavy stop-and-go traffic.
Every 3 years
At ExperTec Automotive, we’ve been repairing Ford vehicles in Orange County for over 30 years. Even reliable Fords develop specific problems as they age, and 55 Freeway commutes and coastal salt air add to the wear. Our Costa Mesa technicians diagnose these issues quickly, follow Ford factory repair procedures and use quality parts you can trust.
Some EcoBoost engines in the Escape, Fusion and Explorer are known for coolant loss, sometimes from water pump or cylinder head issues. A sweet smell, low coolant warnings or white exhaust smoke deserve attention right away. We pressure-test the cooling system and repair the source before it damages the engine.
The 3.5L EcoBoost and other Ford engines can develop a rattle on cold start from stretched timing chains or worn cam phasers. Catching it early prevents more expensive engine damage. We diagnose the noise and replace the timing components as a complete job.
Some F-150s, Explorers and Expeditions with the 10-speed automatic experience harsh or erratic shifts, while older 6-speed automatics can slip. A software update, adaptive relearn or fluid service fixes many cases. We test-drive, scan and recommend the right repair.
On several Ford V6 engines the water pump is mounted inside the engine and driven by the timing chain. When it leaks, coolant can contaminate the oil. We inspect for early signs and replace the pump correctly, with the timing components if needed.
Heavy F-Series trucks, Transit vans and work vehicles go through brake pads and rotors faster, especially in Orange County traffic. We inspect brakes at every visit and use quality pads and rotors rated for your vehicle’s load.
Fords can develop issues with SYNC infotainment, backup cameras, power liftgates and battery drain. We use Ford-capable scan tools to trace the fault and update or repair modules instead of replacing parts by guesswork.
Our Costa Mesa auto repair shop is on Newport Boulevard, the main route between the 55 Freeway and Newport Beach, a short drive from Triangle Square and the OC Fair & Event Center.
Between 55 Freeway commutes, coastal trips to Newport and short around-town errands, Costa Mesa cars see a lot of heat, salt air and stop-and-go driving. That’s why our Costa Mesa technicians focus on catching problems early, explaining your options clearly and fixing it right the first time.
