Jeep Compass Maintenance Schedule, Service & Repair

Anyone who’s owned a vehicle in the past knows that routine maintenance is probably the most important part of having a car. Performing regular service is the best way to keep your car in good condition, prolong its lifespan, and avoid costly and avoidable accidents.

But what if you’ve just purchased your first new Jeep® SUV, and you’re not sure where to start with maintenance? Here’s a breakdown of when you should be scheduling Jeep Compass service at our California dealership.

Oil Changes

The first and most frequent type of regular maintenance is having your oil changed. Oil helps to lubricate your engine so it can function properly, and failing to change it can cause anything from decreased gas mileage to a full engine breakdown.

Your specific intervals for oil changes will depend on your type of vehicle, its mileage, and the type of oil it uses. But when it comes to your Jeep Compass, in general, you should be checking and/or changing your oil every three to six months, or around every 5,000 miles.

Tire Service

Your tires are an extremely important part of your car, as they provide the only contact between your vehicle and the road. Tire pressure, position, and condition are all significant factors in the overall condition of your tires.

The type of tires you have and the conditions in which they’re driven are big determinants in how often you need tire service—but in general, you should be rotating your tires and checking their condition about every six months.

Brake Service

As you can probably imagine, failing to maintain your brakes on your Jeep Compass can cause catastrophic issues. The brake pads, rotors, and fluids are all important to the safety of your car.

You should have your brakes inspected at least annually to ensure you can drive safely in all conditions. If you’re due for vehicle maintenance, schedule Jeep service at Kearny Mesa Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM online today.
