Keep your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM running strong all season long.
Summer is the perfect time to hit the road — whether you’re heading to Presque Isle State Park, taking a scenic drive along Lake Erie, or planning a longer road trip out of town. But before you pack the cooler and crank the AC, it’s important to make sure your vehicle is ready for the heat, humidity, and long miles ahead.
At Gary Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we’ve put together some essential summer car care tips to keep your vehicle safe, comfortable, and performing at its best.
1. Check Your Cooling System
High summer temps can put added stress on your engine, so make sure your cooling system is in top shape. Our technicians can check your coolant levels, inspect hoses for wear, and make sure your radiator is functioning properly — helping you avoid overheating issues on hot Pennsylvania days.
2. Inspect and Rotate Your Tires
Warmer weather can affect your tire pressure, and long highway drives cause more wear than you might think. We’ll check your tread depth, tire pressure, and alignment — and rotate your tires to ensure even wear, better fuel economy, and a smoother ride.
3. Recharge Your AC
There’s nothing worse than hitting a heat wave with a weak air conditioner. If your cabin isn’t cooling like it used to, it might be time to recharge your system or check for leaks. Our Mopar-certified service team can diagnose and repair your A/C so you stay cool all summer long.
4. Don’t Forget the Battery
Heat can be just as hard on your battery as the cold. We’ll test your battery to ensure it’s holding a strong charge and look for signs of corrosion or wear on the terminals. This quick check can help prevent unwanted breakdowns on your summer getaway.
5. Update Your Wipers and Fluids
Bug splatter, summer storms, and dusty roads can reduce visibility. Make sure your windshield wipers are in good shape and top off essential fluids like washer fluid, brake fluid, and oil. It’s a small step that makes a big difference.
