How can I extend the life of my brakes? The way you drive will make a significant impact on the life of your brakes. Avoid having to make hard stops by maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles and coasting to a stop when possible. Pay attention to any unusual noises or vibrations when braking and get them checked out—early intervention can avoid costly repairs.

How do I know when my brakes need to be replaced? By the time you notice the most obvious signs of brake wear, such as squealing or grinding noises when you brake, juddering or longer stopping distances, it may be too late for an easy fix. Regularly inspect your brakes, paying attention to the thickness of your brake pads and to any indicator lights on your dashboard. Also, you should make note of the recommended service intervals for your brakes and take your vehicle in for regular maintenance.

What causes my brakes to overheat? The friction from braking results in heat. When you brake aggressively or hold down the brake for a long time (such as when going downhill with a heavy load), it can put a lot of pressure on your braking system and can even “glaze” your brake pads by wearing them down to the point that they have trouble generating enough friction to stop. You can avoid overheating your brakes by driving more cautiously, downshifting instead of pressing the brakes to slow your vehicle and by staying on top of regular maintenance of your brakes.

How to Extend the Life of Your Battery

The average battery will last three to five years, but you can ensure that your battery’s lifespan will be in the higher end of that range with these tips.

  • Clean Your Battery
  • Limit Heat Exposure
  • Avoid Short Trips
  • Clamp Your Batteries
  • Turn Off Extra Features
  • Test Your Battery

How do I choose the right battery for my vehicle?Generally, a battery provided by your vehicle manufacturer or an original equipment manufacturer will be specifically designed for your vehicle, ensuring a seamless replacement. Mopar® stocks batteries for current-model FCA US LLC vehicles, so you can find the right one for your needs.

How do I recharge the battery? If your battery has no charge at all, you can use a battery charger to recharge it. Check the instructions on your charger and make sure that your vehicle and the charger are off before connecting any cables.

How do I know when my battery needs to be replaced? Look for signs that your battery may be nearing the end of its life, like electrical issues, a slow-starting engine or a check engine light on your display. When examining the battery directly, look for corrosion on the terminals, a sulfurous smell that could indicate leakage or a bloated or swollen battery case.

    I can't help but feel we are being singled out. To have a rating of 4 and up takes response in the part of the dealership. That's something we did not get. On very rare occasions they will answer the phone. Or just pick it up and hang it up is another bad habit they have. My son took his car in because the air conditioner was blow | Read Full Review

    NEVER BUY A USED CAR HERE!!! So many sketchy things going on with this dealership. To start, they changed the price after they sent me an “out the door” numbers sheet, but when they sent me the documents it cost almost 1,000$ more! Ridiculous, at this point I have already sent them the down payment so the car salesman (Peter) told me | Read Full Review

    Incompetent. I came for a simple change to my jeep - they left it with the windshield wiper fluid not dispensing which I then was able to fix myself after watching a Youtube video. They also pumped my tires up to 50 PSI? Is that just laziness or incompetence? Don't come here | Read Full Review

    I purchased a used car with them, which apparently they used as a rental before for people who were servicing their cars. Which I didn’t mind. I was upset of the fact that the sales people made it sound as if the car was in excellent condition and so did the carfax report when it was not. A few days after I purchased it I noticed tha | Read Full Review

    Don't ever buy a used car from here. They knew that my widshield had a crack and the battery was leaking acid and they didn't disclosed that to me.
