Giving You Optimum Care for Your New Car, Truck, or SUV
There?s no question that a brand-new car comes with its own unique share of responsibilities. Buying the car and driving it off the lot is just the first step; if you want to protect your investment and keep it running efficiently and safely, you need to ensure it gets the proper maintenance. The more attention you pay to your vehicle?s maintenance, the better it will perform and the longer it will last.
The vast majority of regular service tasks are inexpensive but immensely important. An oil change, for example, costs very little upfront -- but neglecting your fluids can lead to massive engine failure. Protecting the four core systems in your new Chrysler (fluids, battery, brakes, and tires) will ensure your vehicle runs for years on end and will keep you and your passengers safe on the road.
Safety and Efficiency Start with Your Tires
Tires are the first point of contact for your vehicle. More than anything else, tires control how your car rides and how it performs in tough situations. Your vehicle?s tires have been engineered to weather a wide range of temperatures and conditions without catastrophic failure, but need regular maintenance in the form of pressure checks and rotations to live up to their potential. Tire failure can lead to more than a bad day -- it could cause a tragic accident.
Tire pressure is a commonly overlooked maintenance issue. Low tire pressure encourages tires to overheat and break down and also hurt your overall fuel efficiency. Tires with low tread can make it harder to stay in control. Both low tire tread and low air pressure are simple, small issues that can lead to big problems. Passenger safety starts with your tires.
Don?t Forget Your Battery!
New vehicles come with the best possible battery, but batteries are wear parts with a finite lifespan. Batteries give your car the power to start; with a weak or dead battery, you could find yourself stranded. There are many things besides a battery?s lifespan that affect how well it performs including usage patterns, driver error (leaving the lights on), and the weather. If your battery is acting weak it needs to be tested immediately.
Testing a battery involves checking its voltage level to ensure it still meets the needs of your car. It also helps determine whether engine issues are the result of the battery or another component, such as the alternator or starter.
Brakes are Your First Line of Defense
When the unexpected occurs on the road, it?s your brakes that stop an accident from happening. Many drivers overlook the importance of brake maintenance, assuming that if the car is still stopping everything must be fine. However, brake pads and shoes wear out quickly and are extremely important to your vehicle?s overall safety. You should have your brakes inspected regularly to ensure they are not in need of repair.
Our factory-trained technician can spot early problems with your brakes. Do note that replacing pads and shoes is far less expensive than fixing the damage your brakes can cause if left unattended. Routine brake maintenance will keep your vehicle safe and protect your wallet at the same time.
Fluids Keep You Running
Fluids are the lifeblood of your Chrysler vehicle. Starting with the oil that lubricates your engine and moving on to power steering fluid, brake fluid, and even the water in your radiator, fluids play a big role in your vehicle?s overall operation. Keeping fluids fresh and filled will lengthen your vehicle?s lifespan and protect it from catastrophic damage.
Engine oil is by far the most important fluid in your vehicle. It is absolutely critical that you follow the manufacturer?s guidelines when it comes to oil and oil filter replacement frequency. If you bring your vehicle down to Franklin Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM for an oil change, our technicians will inspect and top off all of your other fluids and let you know if any need replacing.
Every system in your Chrysler needs regular attention and maintenance. You can keep your vehicle running like new by investing in a regimen of routine preventative maintenance services. We?re dedicated to keeping your vehicle safe, efficient, and powerful. Call today to arrange your next oil change and vehicle inspection.
