From the F-150 to the Mustang, Fords need a shop that understands their engines, drivetrains, and quirks. Our Warwick technicians service every Ford model with proper tools, factory-spec parts, and 17 years of hands-on experience — at a fraction of dealership pricing.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
From routine maintenance to major repairs, our technicians handle every Ford model and every Ford engine — gas, diesel, EcoBoost, V8, V6, and 4-cylinder.
Factory-spec oil and filters for every Ford engine — including 5W-20, 5W-30, and Motorcraft Synthetic Blend. Includes multi-point inspection. See oil change service.
Quality pads and rotors sized correctly for every Ford — from Focus to F-250. Heavy-duty options available for trucks pulling trailers. See brake repair.
Cam phaser replacement, timing chain service, intake cleaning, and turbocharger work on EcoBoost engines. Plus full V8 service for 5.0L Coyote and older 5.4L modular engines.
Service for the 6F35, 10R80, and 6R80 transmissions. Fluid exchange, valve body work, and full diagnostics. See transmission repair.
Water pumps, thermostats, radiators, and coolant flushes on every Ford engine. We catch leaks early to protect the engine from heat damage.
Ball joints, tie rods, control arms, struts, and shocks for cars, SUVs, and pickups. Critical for safe handling on RI roads after winter pothole season.
Check engine lights, body modules, SYNC system issues, and electrical gremlins. Our scan tools talk to every Ford module. See check engine light.
AC recharge, compressor replacement, heater core service, and blend door repair on every Ford model. See AC & heat repair.
Get your Ford's sticker handled at the same visit as service. Most inspections completed same day at our certified Warwick shop.

A 1999 F-150 and a 2024 F-150 Lightning are completely different vehicles. Different engines, different transmissions, different electronics. Some Warwick shops only handle the easy stuff. We service the full Ford lineup — old and new, gas and diesel — with the right scan tools, factory-spec parts, and the patience to diagnose properly. That's why so many Kent County Ford owners send their friends our way.
