Multiple Locations to Serve You
From the hardworking F-150 to the family-ready Explorer and the efficient Escape, Ford builds some of the most popular vehicles on New Jersey roads. Our technicians service the full Ford lineup with the diagnostics and know-how to keep them running strong.
Ford owners rely on their cars and trucks for work and family alike. Whether you drive an EcoBoost F-150, a Super Duty, or a compact Escape, KRP handles routine maintenance and major repairs to keep your Ford dependable for the long haul.
Fords in this area divide into two very different service lives. A commuter Escape or Fusion wants the basics kept on schedule, while an F-150 or Super Duty that tows is working its brakes, cooling system and transmission far harder than the mileage alone suggests. We service both, and we ask how the vehicle is actually used before recommending anything.
Direct injection keeps fuel off the backs of the intake valves, so carbon builds there over time on turbocharged EcoBoost engines. It shows up as a rough cold start or a misfire code long before anything dramatic happens, and it is worth inspecting rather than guessing at.

Every make has systems that tend to need attention as the miles add up. These are areas we commonly service on Ford vehicles, none are guaranteed to occur, and any symptom should be properly diagnosed before repair. When something comes up, our technicians pinpoint the real cause and back the fix with our lifetime warranty.
Water pumps, thermostats and hoses wear over time, especially on trucks that tow. We test the cooling system and address leaks before they lead to overheating.
