Fall Maintenance in Indianapolis, IN

Getting routine maintenance becomes even more important at the turn of the seasons. To ensure that your Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, or Ram is in good condition, come to Eastgate CJDR before fall arrives!

Tires

Here in Indianapolis we experience a full range of seasonal weather, so preparing for fall travel involves getting the right kind of tires. All-season components work well for temperatures above 45 degrees Fahrenheit, but if the weather gets any colder than that, consider visiting us to get winter tires. When you visit us for seasonal maintenance, we can inspect your current set for any excessive damage. This is a good time to have your car’s tires rotated. We’ll swap the position of them based on the type of car you possess and the drivetrain it has. If you drive a heavy-duty model like a Ram 2500 or Jeep Gladiator, then have us check the brakes and tires for damage caused by towing. 

Heating System

Cold weather is soon to arrive, and when it does, you will want to turn on the heating system to avoid being uncomfortable on your way to Eagle Creek Park. However, if any of the HVAC system parts are malfunctioning, you might not be able to warm up quickly enough. This is something our Service Department staff can help you with. We’ll inspect the radiator, heater core, fans, and other connected items for damage. Also, the cabin air filter should be changed before fall arrives, as leaves and other debris can lead to low airflow. Any replacements we use are genuine Mopar® parts, so you can trust that your Dodge Durango or Chrysler Pacifica will be ready for whatever life throws your way.

Fluid Checks

Another way that you can prepare for fall is to have our team members check the fluid levels in your car. Oil is extremely important for your engine, so consider getting a new batch if it’s been more than 5,000 miles since your last swap. When ice and snow become prevalent, it’s vital that you have a full reservoir of wiper fluid to clear the windshield. While it may sound counterintuitive, coolant is especially important in the winter, as it is needed to pull heat from the engine and pump it into your cabin via the HVAC system.
