If you’re a savvy driver, you already know that a bit of Jeep® service now can save you money on repairs later. However, what if we told you that was just the start of the savings? Visiting Heritage Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Harrisburg for routine maintenance will also save you pain at the pump.
Oil Changes
Friction, wear, and adhesion all make your engine run hotter and work harder. Oil changes keep your engine running cooler and more efficiently.
Brake Service
Poorly calibrated and aged brakes can slightly clamp down on your wheels. The resultant mild brake force — called brake drag — wears breaks out faster, and requires higher engine output to maintain speed. Maintain your brakes!
Electrical Service
Many components, like your air conditioning, are powered by the alternator, which runs off the engine. Their use can cut into gas mileage, but so can improper performance. Have your vehicle’s electrical system checked and serviced regularly.
Tire Service
Your tires play a big role in gas mileage. Proper pressure and tread depth, tire rotations, and new tires all help. So, too, will wheel alignment that keeps your engine from working too hard to keep your vehicle on the straight and narrow.
Transmission Service
Your transmission helps your vehicle get more power out of less RPMs and fuel. Making sure it’s clean and in good condition helps it do its job. Visit us for inspections and service, especially if you notice slipped gears, hesitation, or “hunting” during shifts.
Better Maintenance = Better Gas Mileage
Other routine service, like filter changes and injector cleanings, play a part in better gas mileage, too. Suffice to say, this advice isn’t limited to Jeep models, either; it’s valid no matter what you drive, and the team at Heritage Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Harrisburg will help you save in every way we can.
