Vehicle Maintenance Checklist

At Kearny Mesa Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM, our team is focused on a variety of automotive issues. In other words, our duties extend far beyond just helping customers find a new Jeep SUV for sale. We also want our customers to drive safely in whatever automobile they own, which is why we have a fully staffed service center. After all, regular maintenance is one of the best things you can do to maintain the overall health of your Jeep SUV.

Why Maintenance is Important

Our Jeep service department has seen it all over the years, from flat tires to cracked windshields. However, our team typically spends most of its time performing routine maintenance, rather than unexpected repairs. These tasks include conducting multipoint inspections to check for potential problems, as well as rotating your tires and changing old motor oil.

It’s important to schedule services like these in order to extend the life of your Jeep vehicle. So before you book an appointment at our new and used car dealership, here are a few things you should consider.

Car Maintenance Checklist

• Tires: Your Jeep tires need extra care because they’re one of the hardest-working parts on your vehicle. Our technicians will check their tread wear to make sure it’s even and capable of providing optimal traction. They’ll also check your tire pressure to ensure proper handling and performance. If they determine that you need new tires, we’ll help you find a set in our Jeep parts department.
• Brakes: We urge drivers to get their brakes checked immediately if they notice any issues (unresponsiveness or strange sounds, for example). Properly functioning brakes are absolutely vital to ensure your safety.
• Fluids: The fluids in your Jeep SUV get dirty and lose viscosity as they age. This loss of viscosity can increase friction in your engine and related parts, so we recommend changing your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
• Lights: It’s important that your headlights, taillights, and turn signals are all working well. That’s why our technicians will check them all during multipoint inspections. Make sure to let us know if your check engine light is on, too, and we’ll investigate the problem.
