Your Local Ford Service Shop in Warwick

Fords are everywhere in Rhode Island. F-150s pulling boats down to Oakland Beach. Explorers running family duty across Cranston and East Greenwich. Mustangs cruising Post Road on summer evenings. Each one deserves a shop that knows the ins and outs of Ford engines and drivetrains — without the dealership wait time or markup.

Primary Care Auto Repair has served Warwick and the rest of Kent County for 17 years. Owner Jeff Roy and our technicians work on every Ford lineup — F-150, F-250, Explorer, Escape, Edge, Mustang, Bronco, Fusion, Focus, Ranger, and Transit. Our team has seen the EcoBoost cam phaser issues, the 5.4L spark plug ejection problems, the 6F35 transmission quirks — and learned exactly what it takes to fix them right the first time.

Every Ford repair includes a free video inspection sent straight to your phone. You see the worn part, the leaking gasket, or the failed sensor before any work is recommended. That kind of straight-up communication is why Ford owners from Apponaug, Conimicut, Hoxsie, Cowesett, and Oakland Beach trust our Warwick auto shop for everything from quick oil changes to major engine work.

The shop sits at 33 Locust Ave, just off Post Road, minutes from Warwick Mall, T.F. Green Airport, and the Route 2 corridor. Easy access from I-95 and Route 117 makes drop-off simple from anywhere in Kent County. Most Ford service jobs are completed same day, with bigger repairs quoted upfront and finished on a clear timeline.

Common Ford Issues We See in Warwick

Every Ford has its own pattern of issues. Knowing which ones are common — and which ones are urgent — saves you time and money. Here are the Ford problems we diagnose and fix most at our Warwick shop.

EcoBoost Cam Phaser Rattle

That cold-start rattle on 3.5L EcoBoost engines is a known cam phaser issue. We diagnose, replace, and update the timing system to factory spec — much less than dealership pricing.

F-150 5.4L Spark Plug Problems

Older 5.4L 3-valve engines have issues with broken or stuck spark plugs. We use the proper extraction tools and procedures — no shortcuts that crack the head.

Explorer 3.5L Water Pump Failure

Internal water pump failure on the 3.5L V6 leaks coolant directly into the engine oil. Catch it early or it destroys the engine. We diagnose the symptoms quickly.

6F35 Transmission Hard Shifts

The 6F35 in Escapes, Fusions, and Edges develops hard shifts and shudder. Often fixable with valve body service or proper fluid exchange before a full rebuild is needed.

Oil Pan & Gasket Leaks

Many Ford engines develop oil pan or valve cover leaks over time, especially after winters of road salt in Warwick. Catch and fix before oil drips damage other components.

Power Steering & Suspension Wear

F-150 and Explorer steering racks, ball joints, and tie rod ends wear with miles. Common symptoms are loose steering, knocking over potholes, or uneven tire wear on Route 117.

Ford Service Questions from Warwick Drivers

Quick answers to the Ford questions we hear most often at the shop.

How much does Ford service cost in Warwick RI?

Service costs depend on the job. Oil changes, brake jobs, and routine maintenance are typically much less than dealership pricing. Bigger repairs like cam phasers or transmission work are quoted upfront after diagnosis. No surprises at pickup.

Can you fix EcoBoost cam phaser issues?

Yes. We replace the cam phasers, update the variable cam timing solenoids, and reset the timing per Ford spec. Most jobs done in 2 to 3 days at a fraction of dealership cost.

Do you service older Ford models like the 5.4L Triton or Crown Vic?

Yes. We work on every generation of Ford, including older trucks and the 5.4L Triton with its known spark plug issues. We have the proper tools to handle the tricky jobs.

Do I have to go to the dealership for Ford service?

No. We use factory-spec parts and proper scan tools to handle most Ford service jobs — usually for less than dealership pricing. Your warranty stays intact when service is done by qualified techs with documentation.

How long does Ford service take?

Most maintenance and routine repairs are same-day service. Bigger jobs like cam phasers, transmission work, or head gasket repair may need the vehicle for 2 to 5 days. We give a clear timeline at drop-off.

Can you service Ford diesel trucks?

Yes. We service Ford 6.7L Power Stroke diesel trucks — fuel system work, oil and filter service, glow plug replacement, and DEF/emissions diagnostics. Bring your F-250 or F-350 to our shop.
