Maintaining Your Clermont Jeep Grand Cherokee

Maintaining Your Clermont Jeep Grand Cherokee.


Aligning the wheels: Does it seem your Jeep Grand Cherokee wants to zig as you are trying to zag? At first glance it's an indicator that you might need an all-wheel-alignment. Really, it won't be as drastic as that but you may notice your Jeep starts leaning left while you are intending to steer straight. One of the clues will be uneven tire wear. Your Jeep Owner's Manual and your Clermont service mechanic can help get you on a simple service schedule that will have you driving straight and true in no time.

 
Brake Pads and Rotors: Designed to stop in a variety of situations, whether wet, snowy or off-road, brake pads and rotors are tier one safety equipment on your Grand Cherokee. Aggressively applying pressure on the pedal in a manner that is harder than "normal" (whatever that is) will have them wearing faster than if you did not. Of course, your mileage may vary. Your Clermont Jeep mechanic should visually inspect the pads and rotors every oil change, to make sure they are still well within tolerances. Your Clermont Jeep Mechanics and Service Advisors can offer expert advice for the best care for your new Grand Cherokee.

New Wipers: If you own a Jeep, it's a given that your windshields will definitely become dirty. That's because Jeep owners prefer the road less traveled. But when hitting those roads, you will want windshield wipers that actually work. High Heat, humidity and conversely, extreme cold will affect the rubber, causing it to wear down prematurely. The Clermont Jeep Parts and Service department stocks MOPAR-approved Wiper Blades for just that reason. Pro tip: Worn wipers will leave water spots, blobs and streaks on your windshield, or conversely become squeaky and make lots of noise when they start to break down. When you see and hear that, it's time for replacement. For that reason, your Clermont Jeep mechanic suggests changing to fresh blades every six months.
Filtration: You Jeep owners are a radical bunch. While the street sign wants you to go left, you turn the wheel to the right, even if the road has ended. According to your Jeep Grand Cherokee's Owner's Manual, owners should change air filters every 30,000 miles, but your Clermont CDJR mechanic may suggest more frequent replacements, if you like to play harder. An example: You like to play in the desert, so you will definitely be a candidate for more frequent filter changes. The Clermont Jeep Parts and Service department can offer plenty of advice and service for all your Jeep needs.

Topping off the fluids: Fluids inside your Jeep aren't just limited to motor oil. There's Windshield wiper fluid, transmission fluid, brake, differential and steering fluids. They are all needed for the safe operation of you Jeep Grand Cherokee. Don't leave anything to chance. A visit to your Clermont Jeep mechanic will allow them to inspect the fluid levels for a top-off before hitting the road.  Your service advisor and the entire Clermont CDJR service team is ready to inspect all of your fluids, even between oil changes.
