The Importance of Routine Maintenance near Fort Wayne, IN

The Importance of Routine Maintenance near Fort Wayne, IN

At Wabash Valley Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram near Fort Wayne, we desire nothing less than to assist you with your vehicle's maintenance. Because of this goal we have given ourselves, we’d like to inform you on how to routinely care for your model’s needs. 

Purpose

During your travels with your Chrysler, Ram, or Dodge vehicle, multiple components will be hard at work to facilitate your travels. This will result in incremental wear that eventually requires the servicing of a specific aspect. For instance, we generally recommend having oil changes done in intervals of 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Tire rotations should be accomplished in similar timeframes, so it’s recommended that you have these done together to save time. Brake pads generally last from 20,000 to 75,000 miles, but be sure to check your Owner’s Manual to narrow the timeframe down. 

Red Flags

You’ll know when the time has come for routine maintenance at our Service Department whenever you notice warning signs beginning to manifest on your trips across Route 27. For instance, if it takes longer to come to a complete stop, then your brake pads or tires may need to be checked by our team. Does your engine temperature gauge show signs of overheating? Something with your engine oil or coolant may have gone awry. There are also minor indicators from other components to watch out for, such as windshield wipers leaving smudges or a stale odor due to a clogged cabin air filter. 

Benefits

Having routine maintenance accomplished on your Wagoneer or Jeep will ensure that it not only continues to function optimally, but efficiently as well. What we mean by this is that many of these services will result in less strain being put on the engine. It also results in less gas consumption and a higher output. Your ability to handle the vehicle’s movemoent will also become refined, as the tires will maintain strong traction and the brake system will respond accordingly. Keep in mind that we utilize Mopar parts, so you’ll always leave for a trip to the Fort Wayne Zoo with quality components.

Purchased Out of State

I bought a used 22 Jeep Wrangler from Wabash Valley. My primary salesman was Stephen Ross. I also had a chance to work with used car manager, Todd Necessary. Both of these gentlemen were truly fantastic to work with. Genuinely, I can't recall a better used car purchasing experience. Upon purchase, they ask that you address any issues with your used vehicle with them first - before going to Jeep/Chrysler or others. Initially I thought this was a sales ploy, but they actually held to their agreement. I am from out of state and found a few items that needed to be repaired. Stephen Ross coordinated with my local Jeep dealer to make sure the repairs were accomplished, and at no charge to me. This was no small feat, as it required a lot of back and forth between Stephen and my local rep. I'm very pleased with my experience with Wabash Valley, and highly recommend them.

they do a great job.
