1. Make sure to keep up with regular oil changes!
What's the first step you should take when keeping your Jeep in the best condition possible? Always keep up with a routine oil change schedule. We know that it can sometimes feel overwhelming to keep a schedule for your car, but we promise, it is absolutely worth it. It's generally recommended to get an oil change around every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, but you should always refer back to your Jeep's Owner's Manual, along with the suggestions that our certified technicians have for you. Regular oil changes help to keep your engine clean and running as efficiently as possible. Oil left in an engine for too long can actually become sludge and cause a lot of damage that we know no one wants to have to pay for.
2. Should I care about my Jeep's tires? Yes!
We've talked with you about oil changes, but that isn't the only kind of maintenance that you should consider with your Jeep. Other routine care should always include your tires. What we mean by tire maintenance is checking things like the tire tread depth, how evenly your tires are wearing, and the tire pressure. Some of these are things you can check from home, but if you need a tire rotation, wheel alignment, or any repairs, then we recommend scheduling an appointment with our team here at Junction Auto Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. We'll be able to address the problem and make it so you're back to driving to your next destination without any lengthy delays.
3. Don't forget about the importance of cleanliness
Whether it's your Jeep's exterior or interior, you should never underestimate how important it is to keep your vehicle clean. A well-maintained vehicle not only keeps a higher value, but it will last longer, too. That's why we recommend that you routinely have your Jeep's exterior washed and waxed, as that will help remove any environmental elements and allow the paint to last longer without any issues. This is also important when it comes to preventing rust. As for the interior, regular cleanings, avoiding eating or drinking in the car, and not leaving trash around are all vital to preserving the interior. We know that cleaning isn't fun, but we hope you'll take our advice and take advantage of the information that our team is providing you with.
4. Hear a strange noise? See a light on your dashboard? Schedule an appointment.
One thing that people often do is ignore the signs and problems of their vehicles. We know that no one wants to pay for repairs and diagnostics, but the more issues are ignored, the more damage can be done to your Jeep. What we recommend to all of our customers is that you schedule an appointment with us whenever you have a warning light come on or you start to hear any strange noises. This will allow our team to pinpoint any issues, relay what we find to you, and then we can discuss the steps to fix whatever could potentially be wrong. The sooner things are fixed, the sooner you can be out on the road instead of waiting on the sidelines.
5. The fluid in your Jeep matters, trust us.
The last kind of maintenance that we want to introduce you to may often be overlooked by many until it's too late. Your Jeep runs on various fluids that help your ride stay lubricated and cool. When these fluids run low, that could spell disaster when it comes to efficiency and making sure that everything is operating smoothly. That's why we want to recommend that you allow our technicians to check these levels, refill when necessary, and make sure that there are no leaks in any closed systems. You won't realize how badly your Jeep needs these different types of fluid, like transmission, brake, power steering, and coolant, until it runs out.
