As the end of the year inches closer and cooler weather settles in, you should consider having a certified technician inspect your vehicle and ensure it's ready for the long road ahead. At All American Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we're proud to help drivers on the road by providing manufacturer-backed repairs with Genuine Mopar® Parts. Below, you'll find several services we regularly perform for our community ahead of frosty mornings around Lubbock.
Services To Perform This Fall Season
Oil Changes
When regularly performed, oil changes can protect your engine from heat, friction, oxidation, and sludge build-up. Although oil changes are not specific to fall weather, they can give a certified technician the ability to give your vehicle a visual inspection and alert you if anything looks abnormal. Oil change intervals vary from vehicle to vehicle, with some models requiring them as often as 3,000 miles. If you're unsure about service intervals, you can contact a member of our team or check your Owner's Manual for information related to your specific vehicle.
Tire Rotation
Since tires are the only part that comes in contact with the road, keeping up with proper tire care can make all the difference when taking corners or slowing down. Your tires work hard to absorb bumps, distribute weight, and provide grip when driving around. If your tires are in good shape, performing a tire rotation and suspension alignment could help extend the life of the remaining tread and get you through the colder months. Alternatively, All American Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram can help you shop new tires for your specific make and model.
Coolant Flush
While the chances of your engine are reduced with cooler weather, another risk lurks inside your engine bay that you may not be aware of. When engine antifreeze is diluted with water, there is a risk of freezing in colder weather which can cause hoses, radiators, and water pumps to break. In addition, water stuck inside the coolant system can cause rust to form, further harming your vehicle. Thankfully, our team has the tools and resources to replace coolant, thermostats, heater cores, and more with manufacturer-specified replacements.
Battery Testing
Over time, batteries lose effectiveness and hold a lower charge, increasing the risk of becoming stranded on the road. With the hot summers and cold winters near Lubbock, proper battery care is a necessity. Thankfully, our Mopar® Service Center can inspect for leaks and corrosion, load test batteries and alternators, and replace electrical system components, including wiring, connectors, sensors, and more.
Lights and Filters
Visibility and comfort are two essential aspects of vehicle care that many drivers don't consider during cool fall weather. When the skies open up, or you find yourself clearing frost off the windshield, having proper wiper blades and bright exterior lighting can make all the difference regarding safety. In addition, fresh air filters can help you, your passengers, and your vehicle breathe easier. When you service with All American Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, you'll be able to keep on top of all areas of vehicle maintenance to keep your vehicle running smoothly, day or night.
