How Often Should I Change My Oil?
The answer to how often you should change your
oil is dependent on the type of vehicle you drive, and even on the type of oil
you use. Every car, truck, SUV, or
minivan has a different recommended interval on oil changes. You can find that information by looking in
your owner's manual. In general, many
cars today recommend oil changes somewhere between 5,000 and 7,500
miles.
How Can I Tell When My Brakes Need
Servicing?
There are many ways that Arlington, TN drivers
can tell if they need brake service. If
you are driving and hear squealing, grinding, or whirring when you apply your
brakes, that could be a sign. An
illuminated brake light on your dashboard, the car pulling to one side when you
press on the brakes, a spongy brake pedal, and your vehicle taking longer to
stop are all signals that it might be time to visit our service center for a
brake inspection.
How Often Should I Have My Car Battery
Inspected?
No one wants to be stranded because of a dead
car battery. We recommend having your
battery inspected every time you schedule an oil change. This will allow our factory-trained,
Mopar®-certified service technicians check your connections to make sure that
everything is okay. After your car
battery is three years old, you should probably have it tested a couple time a
year to make sure that it will get you through that season.
When Should I Rotate My Tires?
At our dealership, we often recommend that
customers rotate their tires with every oil change. Most often, this lines up with the 5,000-mile
recommendation for tire rotation for most tire brands.
Why is Tire Rotation Important?
Getting your tires rotated prevents uneven wear
and premature failure. When you rotate
your tires, you are making sure that they rotate evenly, and last longer. Tire rotation is vital to the performance,
health, and safety of your driving experience.
What Are Some Other Signs I Might Need to Come
in for Car Service?
It is a good idea to be familiar with all of the
recommended intervals for auto service in your owner's manual. These are great guidelines for how to keep your
car, truck, SUV, or minivan in the best health possible. When you follow these guidelines, you take
huge steps in ensuring that your vehicle will provide you with the best driving
experiences for many years to come.
Signs that might indicate that you should come
into our service center include any lights being illuminated on the dashboard,
any unusual noises or odors coming from the vehicle, or reduction in
performance level. While some issues may
end up being minor, they can turn into expensive auto repairs if neglected or
ignored for a long period of time.
