Our goal today is to discuss some of the major maintenance tips we recommend with summer bearing down and the temperatures rising quickly. Your Grand Cherokee deserves the best treatment possible, and at our service center, you'll get the kind of reliability you won't find anywhere else. Keep reading for helpful tips on how you can prepare!
1. Don't forget about the importance of your tires!
One of the biggest mistakes anyone can make in the name of automotive maintenance is to forget just how vital the tires of your Grand Cherokee are to the bigger picture. Tires are often something that is affected the most when it comes to extreme weather, and that includes the kind of heat that we most definitely get here in Virginia. Our service technicians will not only be able to check things like the tread depth, but we can also offer wheel alignment, tire rotations, and the ability to check and adjust the tire pressure in all four tires. We'll let you know the kind of condition your tires are in, and if we think it could be time for you to consider getting a new set.
2. Should I have my Grand Cherokee's battery tested?
Yes, absolutely! One of the best things you can do to get ready for the summer ahead is to have your battery tested. Much like your Grand Cherokee's tires, the battery can be just as affected by extreme temperatures. That means, before the weather gets too unbearable, now is a great time to make sure that it is maintaining the ability to hold a charge like it should, so everything can stay running in the system. Our professionals can check the capacity, look at all of the connections, and even clean everything so you know you can rely on your battery on any trips you have coming up.
3. Now might be a good time to get your air conditioning fixed
Look, during the winter, it was no problem if the air conditioning system in your Grand Cherokee was on the fritz. However, with summer here, you will not want to put off this service any longer than you already have. Our service technicians can diagnose the issue, order the OEM parts that are needed, and make sure that you have blowing cool air as soon as possible. Rolling down the windows doesn't always prove effective here in Virginia, and to keep everyone in your life happy, this is the kind of service we know you'll want to make an appointment for.
4. Don't forget about your emergency supplies kit
We know, we know, we sound like overbearing parents reminding you to tuck in your shirt or eat your vegetables. The fact is, you need to be prepared for anything that could happen while you and your passengers are out on the road. This is especially important during the middle of summer when you could end up on the side of the road for one reason or another. We believe you should be stocking things like a flashlight with extra batteries, drinking water, car battery booster cables, a basic tool kit, emergency flares, non-perishable snacks, and duct tape. We know there is a lot to consider, but don't forget the essentials!
