Tire condition plays a crucial role in maintaining control of your vehicle, offering a smooth ride, and maximizing fuel efficiency. It's essential to familiarize yourself with the signs of tire wear so you know when it's time for new tires from your Chrysler dealer. more Tread Depth Tread depth is a key indicator of your tire's health. It's the distance between the top of the tire and the deepest grooves, which aids in channeling water away from the tire to maintain contact with the road. Once the depth decreases to 2/32 of an inch, it's time to replace your tires. If you don't have a depth gauge, use the penny test. Insert a penny with Lincoln's head pointing down into the tire tread. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, your tread depth is dangerously low, and your tires should be replaced. Uneven Wear Patterns Uneven wear patterns can be caused by improper tire inflation, misalignment, or a problem with your vehicle's suspension. Look for areas on the tire where the tread is significantly more worn than on other areas of the same tire. If the wear is more in the center, it could indicate over-inflation. If the wear is more on the sides, it could indicate under-inflation. If the wear is only on one side, it could be an alignment issue. Vibrations and Unusual Noises Unusual vibrations or noises when you're driving can also signal the need for new wheels. While it's normal for your vehicle to vibrate slightly on rough roads, persistent vibrations, even on smooth surfaces, are a cause for concern. Similarly, humming, roaring, or droning noises may indicate uneven tire wear or damage. It's vital to address these issues promptly to ensure your vehicle's safety and performance. Visible Damage Tire inspection should be a routine part of your vehicle maintenance. Look for visible damages such as cuts, punctures, bulges, or sidewall cracks. If you find a nail embedded in your tire, don't remove it yourself, as it may cause a rapid air leak. Damages on the sidewall can lead to a dangerous blowout. If you observe any of these damages, it's time to replace your tires. Contact us at Ed Martin CDJR if you notice any of these signs. Our expert technicians are ready to assist you, ensuring your vehicle performs at its best. We'll take a look at your tires, recommend the best new ones for your situation if you need them, and do an alignment and balancing, if necessary, to ensure your next set keeps you rolling right.

If your gearbox is making strange noises and no longer shifting smoothly, you may be in need of transmission repair. As with any car trouble, it's best to catch and fix transmission problems as early as possible in order to avoid a more costly repair job down the road. The following early warning signs of a failing gearbox should prompt you to visit your local Chrysler dealership for repairs as soon as you can. more Grinding Sounds When bad transmission fluid stops lubricating the gears properly, you'll start to hear them grinding whenever you shift. If you ever hear grinding gears, check your fluid right away and have it refreshed before the problem worsens. Humming Sounds Modern transmissions may also start to emit humming or whining sounds when a problem arises. Humming might point to a low fluid, a clogged transmission line, a faulty torque converter, worn-out gears, or another problem inside the planetary gear system. A technician can help you diagnose it. Leaking Transmission Fluid It's possible for transmissions to spring a leak at one of the driveshaft seals, an axel seal, the pan gasket, or the torque pump. Excessive heat, debris from the road, or improper sealing might cause damage to these parts. If a leak occurs, you're likely to see a reddish liquid dripping under your car. It's best to have it repaired before driving more, as leaking transmission fluid can rapidly result in serious gearbox malfunctions. Dirty Transmission Fluid Transmission fluid naturally degrades over time. As the fluid degrades, it thickens and becomes contaminated with bits of debris. It also starts to burn and loses its ability to lubricate the gears. You can use the dipstick to check the condition of your transmission fluid at any time. If it ever looks dirty, or you notice a burning smell of the fluid burning, have it flushed and refreshed right away. Flush Transmission Fluid Frequently at Your Chrysler Dealer Transmission fluid should usually be flushed out and replaced every 30,000 miles, or every two years, whichever comes first. If you regularly drive in more strenuous conditions for your gearbox, such as heavy traffic or frequent short trips, you may need to flush it more often. Delayed Gear Shifting More serious gearbox issues may cause problems when shifting gears. You're likely to first notice a delay of a second or two while your malfunctioning gears try to find the new setting. Whenever gears stop shifting promptly and smoothly, take it to a technician before the problem worsens. Engine Revving While Shifting When a faulty gear set struggles to shift, your engine might also start revving unexpectedly. This sudden revving often means rounded-out gears have slipped, and the engine is trying to transmit power to the wheels that it's lost connection with. This is another potentially severe transmission problem that should be repaired without delay. Have your transmission examined and repaired by qualified professionals at Ed Martin Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM. For decades, we've been serving the drivers of Indiana with great cars, great deals, and great customer service.

Perhaps you've been with your car insurance carrier for some time, and the customer service isn't as good as it used to be, or your premium prices keep rising. The good news is you don't have to stick with a car insurance provider you're no longer satisfied with. Here are four simple steps you can take to change your car insurance. more Compare Coverage From Multiple Companies Car insurance rates can vary significantly from one provider to the next, and that's why it's worth taking the time to compare quotes from multiple companies. In addition to price, you should compare coverage options, limits, and deductibles. When comparing a new provider's rates to your current coverage, ensure you compare similar coverage to what you already have.   While you want to find lower prices, you don't want to be underinsured because you've purchased less coverage than you currently have. If customer service is an issue, you'll also want to read customer reviews to ensure that your new provider offers convenience and good customer care. Contact Your Current Provider After you choose a new provider, contact your current insurance company and notify them of your intent to cancel your policy. You can cancel your old insurance immediately if your new coverage is already in effect. However, if you've chosen a future effective date for your new policy, you'll have to keep your current policy in place to avoid a lapse in coverage.   Allowing your coverage to lapse between policies could result in future providers raising your rates by hundreds of dollars because they'll view you as an irresponsible driver. Plus, driving without insurance is illegal and leaves you on the hook financially if you're in an accident. Be aware that you might have to pay a cancellation fee for ending your current policy before the expiration date. However, if you've prepaid for your coverage, you may receive a refund. In either situation, make sure you receive cancellation confirmation to ensure that your old policy doesn't automatically renew. Update Your Proof of Insurance If you get pulled over or are in an accident after purchasing new insurance, you don't want to get caught driving around with your old insurance cards. Make your you print out copies of your new insurance cards from your provider's website as soon as they're available. You can also store a digital copy on your smartphone. Contact Your Lender or Leasing Company If you still owe money on your car loan or you're leasing your vehicle, you'll need to provide your lender or leasing company with your new policy information. Most lending and leasing require drivers to maintain collision and comprehensive coverage. If your lender thinks you've let your coverage lapse, they can repossess your vehicle or charge you collateral protection fees. You can avoid these situations by notifying your lender as soon as you change your insurance.   As you can see, it isn't difficult to switch insurance companies if you're unhappy with your car insurance provider. Finding a company that offers better prices and customer care can make the experience of owning a car less stressful and more enjoyable.

Are you looking into buying a new car? Wondering how you can support your purchase financially? Getting car financing at your local Chrysler dealer will ensure that you get something quality. These are just a few benefits that you can expect when you get a car loan. more 1. Financing Is Easy to Get Some types of loans are notoriously difficult to get. Many of them will require that you have a high enough credit score or be willing to put down collateral in case you can't make your monthly payments. But one of the benefits of getting financing for your vehicle is that it's super easy to get. Even people with low credit scores will be able to get a loan, ensuring they get a quality car. 2. Boost Your Credit Score Related to the last point is that a car loan is a fantastic way to boost a low credit score. As you know, low scores will impede your ability to get things like mortgages, other kinds of loans, and even some job opportunities. This is why it's important to find ways to boost your credit score if you have a low one. One of the best ways is to get a loan for your car. Once you've gotten set up with your dealer's financing department, all you need to do is make your monthly payments on time and you'll see a major improvement in your credit score. 3. Afford a Better Car If you're not getting a loan for your car, then you're going to have to pay for your vehicle in cash. You may not have the cash you need to afford the quality vehicle that you've been looking at or the trim level with all the features you want. But if you decide to get financing, you'll find that you're significantly opening your options. Since you're just putting down a portion of the total cost as your down payment, you'll be able to splurge on something a little fancier. 4. Grow Your Savings If you pay for your car in cash, you're likely going to need to dip into your savings. You may end up needing to pull out more than you wish you had to. But if you get a car loan, you'll only need to take out a small chunk as part of your down payment. This allows you to continue growing your savings for other big purchases in the future. Getting a car is exciting, but it's important to be financially wise about your purchase. This is why you should consider getting financing. Visit our financing department today at Ed Martin CDJR.
