Choosing Monaco Ford


If you are looking for a Ford vehicle in Connecticut, you certainly have your options of dealerships.

But not every dealership is like Monaco Ford in Glastonbury.

When shopping for a new car, it is important to choose a dealership you can trust, rely on, and feel comfortable doing business with.

This is where Monaco Ford stands out among the competition.

Monaco Ford has been family owned and operated since 1922, and is currently employing its fourth generation of ownership.

Selling cars is a tough business and dealerships can come and go. This is particularly true of car dealers opening their doors for the first time less than a year ago. Is the dealer you buy a car from going to be there in the future when you need assistance?

If the dealership you’re working with is Monaco Ford, the answer is yes.

This long-term relationship is especially important for customers who like to have their car serviced at the same dealership for the life of their vehicle.

When you are on the lot or in the showroom shopping for a car does the sales and service staff treat you with respect? If not, run. If you feel like the sales or service staff is not treating you properly, it will taint the rest of the car buying process. If you are feeling uncomfortable, you are probably better off shopping elsewhere.

We guarantee that you will never feel uncomfortable when shopping for a car at Monaco Ford.
At Monaco Ford, we like to say our customers become our friends! Every time you come in, you will be greeted with a smile and will receive the friendly, personal service you deserve.

Oh, and have we mentioned our vehicles? We have everything you need, including new Ford vehicles, pre-owned Fords, and certified pre-owned Fords. Any model that you are looking for, we have!

Our service is also top notch. Whether you need something fixed on your vehicle, or just need to bring it in for some routine maintenance, you’ll find that our trained service professionals can handle every need with ease.

Whether you need to purchase, finance, or service a new or pre-owned Ford, you’ve come to the right place.

Monaco Ford has received Ford’s prestigious President’s Award an outstanding eight times in the past two decades by surpassing all requirements, proving itself as one of Connecticut’s elite dealers.

Why You Should Inspect Your Vehicle Regularly


We all know that we should do regular maintenance on our vehicles, but do you know how important it really is?
Regular maintenance can help to determine if parts or components of the vehicle are starting to fail. This way, Monaco Ford in Glastonbury can advise you how they should be repaired or replaced. 
Catching an issue early can help prevent further issues with the part, as well as a costly repair bill. If a part is starting to fail, it can cause other issues to other nearby parts on the vehicle. 
Regular repairs can also help keep the vehicle working efficiently and at top performance levels. This can help keep the parts lasting as long as they should. Maintenances can also help improve the fuel efficiency and mileage when you drive. 
Transmissions can be a major issue for your vehicle if it starts to fail. If you are having transmission problems, you may begin to notice that it changes gears a little sluggishly or that it sounds like it is struggling when you are trying to get up to speed. 
While this does not necessarily mean that your whole transmission will have to be replaced, it can mean that you need some work done. 
Air conditioning issues are another problem that can be very costly. And we know you don’t want to be without your air conditioner in this heat. 
Water pumps are part of this system and if your water pump goes out, this can mean that you have problems keeping your vehicle cool. A blower motor can be another culprit that will not allow the cool air to get to you. Make sure that you have air conditioning service done so that you keep your air conditioning system working as efficiently as possible. 
There could also be another issue with the air conditioning system. If you notice there is not as cool of air blowing out of the vents, make sure to bring the vehicle in. This way we can inspect the system for you to make sure your vehicle is provided with good cool air. 
The way that your vehicle drives is very important to your safety. When you have newer tires with the correct tire pressure, you will give your car the foundation it needs to drive on the road, no matter what the weather is like. This, along with tire alignment, has an effect upon the way that your car handles. 
You want to be sure that you take care of all of these issues to keep the handling of your vehicle to a maximum level for the safety of you and those around you. Grip on the road will make a big difference in how you are able to handle driving in the rain or on clear weather days. This is why it is important to inspect the tires. 
When you come to Monaco Ford, we’ll make sure that your car is running in tip-top shape and that you and those around you are safe when you’re on the road.
