Regular maintenance is essential to keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently. It will also ensure your safety, save money on expensive repairs, and extend your car’s lifespan. At Champion Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT, we offer a wide range of vehicle maintenance services to help our drivers around or in Downey, CA, get the most use out of their cars. Follow the checklist below to give your vehicle the care it needs to stay on the road all year round.
Check OftenEngine oil level: Engine oil does your vehicle a lot of good. Check the engine oil level from time to time and have it replaced at least every 3000 to 5000 miles.
Vehicle lights: A broken or burned-out bulb can put you and other people at risk. So, you need to check your vehicle lights regularly. Turn on and off the high beam, brake, turn signal, and backup lights, and walk around your car to see if they are working correctly. Â
Tire inflation and condition: Inspect your tires for signs of cuts, wear, or bumps, and adjust the air pressure as necessary. Â
Windshield washer fluid: You must also frequently check the windshield washer fluid levels and top it off when low.
Belt and hoses: Inspect your belts and hoses for small holes, cracks, or fraying, and replace them if you see any signs of damage.
Power steering and transmission fluids: Check the power steering and transmission fluids to make sure they are at the appropriate levels. If you notice a leak or a significant change in the color of these fluids, see a qualified technician as soon as possible.
Batteries and cables: Examine your car battery and cables to be sure they are firmly connected and are in excellent condition.
Engine air filter: Replace your engine air filter to prevent dust from getting into your engine and ensure optimal performance.
Exhaust: Check for rust, damage, or loose parts and change the exhaust when necessary.
All of the above Plus:
Wiper blades: It’s also important to check the condition of your wipers, especially in the winter months. Look for splits, cracks, or damage to each blade and change them if need be.
Chassis Lubrication: Lubricating your vehicle’s underbody can help prevent corrosion, reduce wear and tear, and improve the riding experience.
Brakes: Good brakes keep you out of harm’s way. Ask a technician to check the brake oil, brake pads, and other essential components and replace them when necessary.
Wheel alignment: Proper wheel alignment ensures that your vehicle runs in a straight line, reducing tire wear and improving fuel efficiency.
Coolant (antifreeze): Low coolant levels can cause your engine to become too hot, which may lead to engine damage. So, it’s good to check your engine coolant and change it every year, ideally before the summer and winter.
Cabin air filter: Change your car’s air filter once a year or every 12,000-15,000 miles.
Steering and suspension: Check your shock absorbers, struts, and other components for signs of wear or damage and replace them when necessary to ensure a smooth, comfortable ride.
