Ford Truck Service and Maintenance
Built Ford Tough
Ford trucks have defined durability since the first Ford pickup in 1925, evolving into the best-selling vehicles in America for over four decades running.
OUR EXPERIENCE WITH FORD TRUCKS
​
Westco Automotive has built a loyal following among Ford truck owners who depend on their vehicles for work, play, and everything in between. We've performed countless Triton engine repairs, including cam phaser replacements on 5.4L 3-valve engines and the delicate art of broken spark plug extraction. Our diesel technicians have deep experience with Powerstroke engines, from 7.3L bulletproof builds to 6.0L and 6.4L EGR and oil cooler remediation. We understand the unique needs of truck owners—whether it's properly servicing a tow vehicle's transmission or aligning a lifted F-250. When your Ford truck needs attention, bring it to technicians who understand "Built Ford Tough" is a promise, not just a slogan.

Interesting Information
The Ford F-150 first introduced the "Built Ford Tough" slogan in 1979, and it has remained the brand's truck identity ever since. The 2021 F-150 PowerBoost hybrid produces more torque than the V8 option and can power tools or even a house during an outage.
