Dealerships do much more than just sell cars. They also help drivers maintain their vehicles to keep those cars working well. Let’set’s take a look at some of the services you’ll need to visit the Chrysler dealership for most frequently, as they’re some of the most important ones for vehicle safety and maintenance.

1. Fluid Level Maintenance and Oil Changes

Keeping on top of your vehicle fluid levels is vital. If any fluid level gets too low, then it spells trouble for your vehicle. Pay particular attention to your oil level, as that’s the fluid that needs to be changed most often.

Make sure you check your owner’s manual and visit the dealership for oil changes as frequently as the manual recommends. That means you’ll most likely be visiting the dealer twice a year since most modern vehicles need oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Stop by for any fluid top-ups you need, too.

2. Tire Care Services

Keeping your tires in great shape requires some work from you and your dealer. Check your tire pressure at least once a month and get more air added to the tires as needed. Visit the dealer for tire rotations approximately twice a year. Front and rear wheel drive cars need tire rotations every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, while all-wheel-drive vehicles need them every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.

Regularly inspect your tires for signs of damage, and check your tread depth regularly to make sure you still have more than 1/16 of an inch of it. Visit the dealership for new tires when you have too little tread or if your tires become damaged. Talk to your dealer about getting wheel alignments and tire balancing as needed, too, as these are other services you can get at your local dealership to keep your tires in good condition.

3. Wear and Tear Parts Replacements

There are lots of small parts of your vehicle that develop wear and tear and need to be replaced periodically. Wear and tear parts include belts, hoses, and filters. Your spark plugs and ignition coils also need to be replaced during your car’s lifespan. The dealership will replace all parts that need to be replaced, and it’s also the place to go if a bigger or more complicated component of your car needs to be replaced.
