A little interior car care can go a long way. Taking care of the inside of your vehicle not only maintains its appeal but also its resale value. Here are some essential tips for keeping your car feeling new inside, courtesy of your CDJR dealership. more 1. Regular Cleaning Regularly cleaning the interior of your car will prevent dirt and grime from accumulating. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the seats, carpets, and hard-to-reach areas. Wipe down hard surfaces with a microfiber cloth and a cleaner specially formulated for car interiors. 2. Protect the Dashboard Your dashboard is susceptible to damage from UV rays, which can cause it to crack or fade over time. Reduce their effects by applying UV protectant. Additionally, you may consider using a sunshade when parking your vehicle outdoors to minimize sun exposure. 3. Seat Care For cloth seats, use a fabric cleaner designed for automotive interiors to remove stains and odors. For leather seats, use a leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. If you have seat covers, wash them according to the manufacturer's instructions to keep them looking fresh. 4. Maintain the Carpets and Mats Floor mats protect your vehicle's carpeting from wear and tear but can themselves become dirty and worn out. Remove them periodically for cleaning. Shake out loose dirt and wash rubber mats with soapy water. Carpeted mats can be vacuumed and spot-cleaned as needed. Consider replacing any mats that are worn or heavily stained to keep your car's interior looking its best. 5. Manage Clutter A cluttered car looks bad and makes cleaning more difficult. Use organizers to keep items stored neatly and easily accessible. Regularly clear out unnecessary items from the glove compartment, door pockets, and back seat to keep your car tidy. 6. Take Care of Spills Immediately Spills can stain your carpet and upholstery if you don't act fast. Keep a pack of automotive wipes in your vehicle for immediate cleanup. For tougher stains, use a specialized stain remover designed for vehicle interiors. Blot the spill rather than rubbing to prevent it from spreading. 7. Regular Deep Cleaning at the CDJR Dealership In addition to regular upkeep, schedule a thorough deep cleaning of your vehicle's interior at least once a year. Professional detailing services can clean and condition every aspect of your car's interior, reaching places that are difficult to clean on your own.

Finding a dent or scratch on your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram is annoying and looks unsightly. The best fix is to head down to your local Chrysler dealer and let a service technician take a look. However, if the dent or scratch is small, it could be a simple DIY job to set right. Read on for some tips on how to deal with small car dents and scratches. more It may be possible to fix small dents on your car using a handy tool or two. Here are our top 3 tools to use when mending a dent at home. Plunger A car dent plunger is designed for the job and can be purchased at an auto parts store. However, a bathroom plunger can get the job done just as well. Place the plunger onto the dent and pull it off. Using a plunger creates a vacuum that should pop the dent out after a couple of attempts. Hammer or Mallet Using a hammer for small dents and a mallet for larger ones, knock the dint back into place from the opposite side of the damaged panel. Always protect the side you are hitting with a cloth or towel to prevent further injury to your prized vehicle. Dent Puller Using a dent puller involves drilling a hole in the dent's center, threading a wire through, and pulling the dent inside out. But, the job's not finished there, as you then need to fill the hole, sand it flat, and re-paint it. Because of the level of skill needed for this technique, a dent puller should only be used by seasoned dent fixers! DIY Fixes For Scratches: Tips From Your Local Chrysler Dealer Surface scratches can be temporarily or permanently fixed using items you probably have lying around the home. Candle Wax or Superglue In an emergency, use candle wax or superglue. After cleaning the affected area, rub wax or place glue over the top of the scratch to help seal it. As superglue is clear, it seamlessly blends with your vehicle, which can also help mask the scratch temporarily. Paint Polish Start by using a non-abrasive foam pad and light polish to gently rub down the scratch until it (hopefully) disappears. If the scratch remains on the paintwork, you may need to try a more abrasive pad and/or a higher-grit polish. Touch-Up Paint Available from all good service centers, touch-up paint is a great DIY method for hiding deeper scratches. Sometimes a dent or a scratch takes more than just some candle wax, a plunger, or polish to fix. That's when it's time to let the experts take a look. Visit Blue Ribbon Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Sallisaw, OK, and trust us to fix the problem for you and get your CDJR back to looking like new.

Parallel parking can be a challenge; however, with a few good techniques and a bit of practice, you can soon master the art. Here are some valuable tips and tricks from your local Chrysler, Ram, Jeep, and Dodge dealer on how to park with ease. more Choose the Right Parking Spot The first step to successful parking is selecting an appropriate parking spot. Look for a space that is at least one and a half times the length of your vehicle. Ensure there is enough clearance in front and behind the spot, and check for any parking restrictions or signs. Use Your Mirrors Before you begin the parking maneuver, adjust your side mirrors to get a clear view of the area around your vehicle. Properly adjusted mirrors will help you see any obstacles and other vehicles, making the parking process safer. Approach the Spot Pull up alongside the car in front of the parking space, leaving about two feet of clearance. Make sure your vehicle is parallel to the car in front, with both vehicles' side mirrors roughly aligned. Angle Your Vehicle Turn your steering wheel fully to the right to angle your vehicle towards the curb. As you start to reverse, keep an eye on your side mirror and the rear end of your vehicle to ensure it is moving smoothly into the parking space. Check Your Position While reversing, keep an eye on the distance between your vehicle and the car behind. You should aim to have about 6-12 inches of clearance between your bumpers. You can adjust your steering if needed to achieve this clearance. Straighten Up After you've positioned your vehicle at a slight angle into the parking space, straighten the steering wheel as you continue to reverse slowly. Your vehicle will start to line up parallel with the curb. Monitor the Curb As you back up, keep a close watch on the curb. When your vehicle's rear wheel is about 6-12 inches from the curb, turn your steering wheel fully to the left to bring the front of your vehicle in line with the curb. Final Adjustments Continue to reverse slowly, making small adjustments as necessary to ensure your vehicle is evenly spaced within the parking space. Use your mirrors and check your blind spots to avoid any collisions. Mastering this type of parking with your CDJR vehicle may take some practice, but with these tips, you can become a confident parker in no time. And if you're in the market for a new CDJR vehicle or need maintenance and servicing for your current one, come over and visit us at Blue Ribbon CDJR. Our experienced team can assist you in finding the perfect CDJR vehicle for your needs, and our service center will keep your vehicle in top shape.

An extended warranty from Chrysler is called a MOPAR Vehicle Protection Plan. Some of these plans can last for longer than 100,000 miles, and you will have several coverage options to explore at your Chrysler dealer. more The most basic warranty plan from Chrysler is Added Care Plus, which has terms as long as eight years or 150,000 miles. Added Care Plus covers 850 vehicle components, such as the powertrain and transmission. You can also opt for Maximum Care, which has terms lasting eight years or 125,000 miles. Maximum Care covers over 5,000 vehicle components, similar to the factory warranty that came with your vehicle. Warranty Exclusions Just like your factory warranty, your MOPAR Vehicle Protection plan does not cover the cost of routine maintenance, such as fluid top-ups, oil changes, tire rotations, and brake pad replacements. Parts of your vehicle that need to be replaced because of wear and tear, such as windshield wipers, are also not covered. Your long-term warranty plan will not pay for damages related to an accident, theft, or environmental events like a flood. Warranty Benefits Both of the extended Chrysler warranty plans come with benefits such as roadside assistance, key fob services, towing, and trip interruption services. Drivers can also be reimbursed for rental cars or access to loaner vehicles. Another benefit of your warranty plan is the ability to choose a deductible that fits your budget. When Can You Purchase Your Warranty at Your Chrysler Dealer? Unlike some automakers, Chrysler allows drivers to purchase an extended Chrysler warranty at any time during car ownership as long as the warranty is activated within three years or 36,000 miles of your vehicle's in-service date. This means you can buy your long-term warranty when your factory warranty is still active or right after your factory warranty ends. The process of buying your MOPAR Vehicle Protection Plan for your Chrysler is simple. All you need to do is visit or call your local dealership to discuss the details of your car and the level of coverage you want. From there, your Chrysler representative will handle all the paperwork to set up your warranty. Do You Need to Do Anything to Submit a Claim? When you need to repair a covered part of your car at your local dealership, you don't need to submit a claim. Your dealership will automatically log your repair as a warranty service and submit the claim on your behalf. However, you should still keep all of your service and maintenance receipts for your records. An extended Chrysler warranty can help you pay for major repairs after your factory warranty ends. Get in touch with Blue Ribbon Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram to discuss your warranty options today.

Automotive maintenance is an essential part of owning a vehicle.

Your tires and brakes are essential components that need to be checked regularly, and periodic oil changes keep your vehicle operating smoothly and safely.

It Improves Gas Mileage A properly maintained vehicle will start easily, idle smoothly, accelerate quickly, and burn fuel more efficiently.

Improved gas mileage saves you time and money. 3. It'll Save You Money on Repairs Oil changes and other forms of routine maintenance keep your engine in good condition and minimize mechanical problems. And if mechanical issues do eventually crop up, our service department will be more likely to catch them early if your vehicle is in for routine service.

When it comes to automotive care, getting a regular oil change is key to making your engine last a long time. Your local, trusted Chrysler dealer will be happy to change out your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM's motor oil as necessary. Getting the oil replaced when needed will make sure your car remains reliable and keeps providing you with a smooth ride. more MOPAR cars often need oil replacements after driving around 5,000 miles, but this can vary. Whether your car uses synthetic or conventional oil impacts the frequency of oil replacements, as does how often you drive. Plus, whether you usually make long trips or short trips can impact how often you need to get your oil replaced. Check your car's manual, as oil replacement recommendations can vary depending on the model. Follow the advice set out in the owner's manual, then talk to your dealer about your driving habits and driving frequency. They can give you more advice from there that's tailored to you. Most drivers will need to get their oil and oil filter changed at least once a year, and often, you'll need the oil replaced two or more times annually. Why Is Getting the Oil Replaced Regularly So Important? Oil replacements are vital for engine longevity. Having enough high-quality, clean motor oil cycling through the engine helps prevent damage to the engine's parts, and it helps your car have a great fuel efficiency. If you miss an oil replacement, then pretty soon, you'll notice your engine won't work as well as it used to. What Happens If You Don't Visit the Chrysler Dealer for an Oil Replacement When Needed? The Oil Will Get Dirty Your oil will become dark and gritty if you go too long without changing it. Dirty oil can't lubricate the engine effectively, leading to performance issues and potentially reduced gas mileage. Check your oil quality regularly to make sure it's still smooth and light amber to brown in color. The Engine May Get Loud If there's not enough oil lubricating the engine, then the engine can start to get loud. It might sound like there's a knocking noise coming from underneath your hood. Any increase in engine noise signals a problem. The Exhaust Fumes Can Get Dark Dark exhaust fumes are a symptom of many different issues with the car, including problems with your oil. Take a peek at the color of your exhaust smoke every day. If the fumes are visible, whether they're light or dark, then there's a problem somewhere. Visit Blue Ribbon Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM for your regular oil replacements. Your car's health is important to us, and we want to help you keep your engine running well for as long as possible.
