In summer, countless Sandusky drivers will be packing their bags and hitting the roads for adventure. Whether you plan on taking a scenic tour of the greater Sandusky area or intend to cover hundreds of miles traveling from state to state, making sure that your vehicle is ready for high temperatures and increased demand is important. At Firelands Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we believe that good summertime maintenance is essential even for motorists doing little more than puttering about town. That's why we're always offering a comprehensive range of essential auto care services for all Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler owners.

Check Your Battery

Automotive batteries don't always perform well in the cold. Surprisingly, however, the higher temperatures of summer can also take a toll on these components. When the mercury rises, fluid loss is accelerated. This causes rapid oxidation of battery parts and can leave you with a vehicle that won't turn on. Accelerated fluid loss due to high summer heat is the most common cause of reduced battery life and outright battery failure. At [DEALER], we can check your battery for evidence of existing corrosion, verify its current charge, estimate its remaining lifespan, and ensure that all connections and cables are intact.

Stop by for a Brake Inspection

You certainly don't want to head out for a long road trip before having your brakes inspected. High-functioning, well-maintained brakes will allow you to drive with confidence and peace of mind across all types of terrain. Whether your brakes are noisy or require more pressure than they used to, you'll want to make sure that they're working exactly as they should before hitting the highways.

Have Your Oil Changed

Summertime is also the perfect time to have your oil, and your oil filter changed. Fresh engine oil with the right viscosity for the hot season will keep your engine well-lubricated and running smoothly. A new filter will ensure that metal fragments, dirt, and other debris aren't negatively impacting the engine's performance. During your visit, we can also check and top off all of your other fluids, check your wheel alignment, and ensure that all of your tires are properly balanced and pressurized. For complete summertime auto care for your Dodge, Jeep, Ram, or Chrysler, stop by Firelands Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today.
