For Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM owners, getting preventative maintenance done at the dealership provides numerous benefits. Preventive maintenance involves regularly scheduled inspections, parts replacements, and vehicle care by a certified dealer. Let’s look at the importance of getting your car maintained at your Chrysler dealer.
Detect and Solve Minor Issues
During preventive maintenance visits, your dealer’s technicians conduct visual checks and use advanced diagnostic tools to scan for hidden issues. These tests can reveal minor issues before they worsen and lead to costly repairs. For example, they will perform the following checks on your vehicle:
- Check all fluid levels
- Inspect timing belts and hoses
- Inspect suspension parts like shocks, struts, and ball joints
- Check the emissions system
- Test the battery
These tests will catch minor leaks, abnormal wear, and component damage early, allowing for prompt repairs. If you need replacement parts, the technicians will use original factory components to ensure optimal vehicle performance.
Improve Safety and Reliability
Regular maintenance improves your vehicle’s safety and reliability, leading to a better driving experience. The technicians will inspect safety components like brake pads, brake pedals, and rotors to check for wear and tear. They will recommend replacement of worn-out parts to ensure smooth and reliable braking.
CDJR technicians also check the tires and perform scheduled tire rotations, inflation, and balancing to improve the vehicle’s handling. They can use the OBD2 scanner to read trouble codes for other safety components like airbags and sensors. This allows prompt repairs, which enhances the reliability of the vehicle’s safety systems.
Prevent Unexpected Breakdowns
Through routine diagnostic scans and visual checks, your CDJR technicians pinpoint issues that could potentially lead to breakdowns. For example, testing the battery can save you from being stranded with a dead battery. The technicians will also examine belts, hoses, and electronics that could fail without warning. Addressing these problems early on increases reliability and provides peace of mind.
Improve Fuel Mileage
Routine maintenance can optimize your car’s fuel efficiency and save you money at the pump. With engine diagnostics, you can reveal hidden issues early and optimize performance. Timely oil and filter changes, coolant checks, and replacement of spark plugs and faulty oxygen sensors help the engine burn fuel more efficiently. This translates into improved fuel economy and savings on gas.
Build a Solid Maintenance Record
Getting preventive maintenance at your CDJR dealer allows you to build a solid maintenance record for your vehicle. The dealer documents every scheduled service and part replacement with OEM parts. When the time comes to trade in or sell your vehicle, you can provide proof that the car was properly maintained. The pristine multi-year maintenance history allows you to achieve the maximum resale value for your vehicle.
The time and money you invest in maintaining your vehicle will pay off in the long run. You will enjoy improved safety, reliability, and fuel economy. Swing by Ed Martin Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM to schedule preventive maintenance for your ride.
