With summer on the way, you may have plans in the works for trips to the pool or backyard barbecues. But if you will also be taking a vacation that involves your Jeep® vehicle, it’s vital that it will be able to handle the increased load. It pays to get some key Jeep service tasks done before that summer road trip. Here are a few tasks you shouldn’t miss:
Oil Change Service
If your car’s oil hasn’t been changed in a while, it’s very possible that it is causing the engine to needlessly work harder. This happens when oil ages and gets thicker. And because this creates an inefficient engine, your gas mileage will suffer. A routine oil change can make a huge difference.
Tire Check
Another thing that will have a negative impact on you gas mileage is underinflated tires, so you will want to make sure that they are always at the right levels. Also, if you notice any worrisome tread wear, you may need a tire rotation from our trained technicians. If there’s any serious tire damage, you want to catch it before you experience a blowout.
Battery Test
To ensure that your car battery can withstand high temperatures, it should be examined by one of our pros. The average lifespan of a battery is only between three and five years, so if yours is on the older side, it may be worth replacing it. Our techs have the knowledge — and the highest quality car batteries — to keep you cruising all summer long.
Top-Off Fluids
To keep the many systems in your Jeep vehicle operating properly, its fluids need to be at the right levels. This is why you’ll want to have these inspected and topped off if necessary. The refrigerant for the air conditioning and wiper fluid shouldn’t be overlooked. When you bring your Jeep SUV to our service center for an oil change, we’ll provide this service and more.
No matter which model you drive, the service center at Schmit Bros Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM in Saukville will make sure your Jeep is ready for summer. Contact us to make an appointment today!
