The Best Practices In Caring For Your New Vehicle

Care For Your Car, And Your Car Will Care For You

Did you know that automotive maintenance is one of the most important aspects of vehicle ownership? How you maintain your vehicle has a foundational impact on major factors of its life on the road. This includes its performance, fuel economy, reliability, and even its appearance. How you maintain your vehicle will also have a major impact on your overall satisfaction. This is largely because you’ll spend less time at the repair shop and more time on the road.

At Tallahassee Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Fiat, we understand the importance of automotive maintenance. We feature a certified Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM service center for all of your automotive needs. Let’s take a look at our favorite new car maintenance tips and discover how you can best care for your new vehicle and promote longevity for your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM or Fiat.

The Importance Of Routine Maintence

One of the most important car maintenance tips that we can offer is to check your owner’s manual. Here, you’ll find your prescribed new car maintenance schedule to promote longevity, reliability, and optimal performance of your vehicle.

While your oil change will be the most frequent service that your vehicle will need, you won’t want to skip over other important services like tire rotations and brake pad replacements.

A Few Helpful Tips To Keep Your New Car In Its Best Shape

A few of our new CDJR maintenance tips include small things that you can do on a regular basis to keep your vehicle performing, and looking its best:

Check Your Tire Pressure
Although it may seem too early to start checking the tire pressure of a brand new car, we recommend that you regularly check your tire pressure once per week. Temperature change can greatly affect the air pressure inside your tires. For example, cold temperatures can cause tires to lose pressure. Driving with under-inflated tires can quickly lead to a blowout, which is why we recommend regular tire pressure check.

Wash Your Vehicle Regularly
We recommend that you regularly wash your vehicle to help prolong the luster of your paint. Allowing your vehicle to sit under the Florida sun without being washed allows dirt and contaminants to bake into your paint, stealing its luster. Eventually, your paint can corrode, fade, and even begin to peel. However, regularly washing your vehicle removes these contaminants from your paint surfaces and helps your vehicle look its best for years to come.

Wax Your Vehicle Yearly Waxing your vehicle forms a protective shield around your paint. Not only does this help to repel dirt and debris that would otherwise stick and bake into your paint, but waxing your vehicle also provides an extra layer of protection from sun damage. This is exceptionally helpful for those of us who live in areas like Jacksonville, FL, Bradfordville, FL, and Midway, FL, where we have the Gulf of Mexico just south of us. Salt and other minerals in the air can easily make into our paint and corrode the finish of our vehicles, which is why performing a yearly wax can help keep your paint in showroom condition.
