Automotive maintenance is an essential part of owning a vehicle. If you’ve failed to keep up with a regular schedule of oil changes, tune-ups, and other forms of vehicular maintenance, it’s never too late to get back on track. From improved safety to financial savings, scheduling preventative maintenance appointments at your local Chrysler dealer offers several advantages.
1. It Improves Safety
Keeping up with a regular maintenance schedule ensures that your vehicle is safe to operate. Your tires and brakes are essential components that need to be checked regularly, and periodic oil changes keep your vehicle operating smoothly and safely. When you properly maintain your vehicle, you and your passengers will be safe on the road, and you’ll have peace of mind behind the wheel.
2. It Improves Gas Mileage
A properly maintained vehicle will start easily, idle smoothly, accelerate quickly, and burn fuel more efficiently. In addition to making your vehicle easier, more comfortable, and more enjoyable to drive, this means you’ll need to make fewer trips to the gas station. 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. Catching small problems early helps you avoid larger problems down the road.
4. It’ll Maintain Value
A vehicle that is well cared for will maintain its value long-term. Used vehicle buyers appreciate cars that have been kept in good condition and will pay more for them. And you’ll get more for a well-maintained vehicle if you trade it in.
A vehicle kept in good condition can also stay on the road longer, allowing you to drive it for many years if you choose to. When you eventually trade the vehicle in, it won’t be because of mechanical failure, it’ll be because you’re ready for a new one.
5. It’ll Keep Your Warranty Intact
Your vehicle’s warranty may specify that certain routine maintenance services be performed. If you fail to keep up with certain recommended services, you risk voiding your warranty, which means you’ll lose out on important areas of coverage for your vehicle.
Maintaining your vehicle doesn’t have to be time-consuming or difficult. It’s a matter of following the service schedule recommended for your model, and having any small mechanical issues that emerge checked out in a timely manner rather than putting them off. When it’s time to schedule your next service appointment, call Blue Ribbon Chrysler Jeep Dodge.
