We’re guessing if you drive a Dodge Challenger, you like to test its limits every now and then. We don’t blame you! However, you want to make sure that you aren’t causing any undue wear. Our technicians at Cook Chrysler Dodge RAM have a few tips to help you preserve the life of your sports car.
Inspect Your Tires
Naturally, when you drive a sports car, the tires are important. Tread can wear quicker on performance tires, and you need to make sure you have the traction you need. Make sure you regularly inspect your tires to ensure you have adequate traction and replace them when they are no longer safe. We recommend replacing your tires when they have less than 4/32 of an inch of tread.
Complete Routine Maintenance
Maintenance is arguably the most important part of caring for your vehicle. There are so many moving parts to your car and it’s important to have them regularly inspected and maintained to keep your vehicle working as it should.
- Engine oil and filter replacement
- Tire rotation
- Fluid top-off or replacement (brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, etc.)
- Multi-point inspection
Don’t Ignore Warning Signs
While routine maintenance can keep your vehicle working smoothly, there are still times issues may pop up. If you notice that your vehicle is performing unusually, it’s important to have it repaired right away. While it may seem minor, leaving it unattended can end up causing major problems and costly repairs.
- Check engine light is on
- Brakes are squealing or grinding
- Steering wheel vibrates
- Knocking noise under the hood
- Unusual smell
