Any safety-aware driver knows the importance of keeping their brakes in great condition. With all the friction, heat, and pressure that braking generates, even the toughest brake components wear down over time. Rather than waiting for serious problems to develop, it's far safer (and often cheaper) to schedule routine brake inspections at your local Jeep dealership. The following are some of the significant benefits you gain from regular brake services. You're Safer with Responsive Brakes When your brake pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, brake fluid, and master cylinder are all in excellent working order due to routine inspections, your braking will be consistently sharp and precise. This allows you to stop on a dime at any given moment. Your car's automatic emergency braking will also be more effective, providing protection against any kind of collision risk. more You Enjoy Superior Handling During an inspection, each brake component is carefully examined for any signs of wear and tear. Your brakes are then fine-tuned and tested to ensure they're highly responsive, which increases your overall handling and vehicle performance. As a result, you feel a greater sense of security and control whenever you're out on the road. You Reduce Your Risk of Brake Failure One of the most important reasons to have your brakes periodically inspected is to make sure that no brake parts are about to malfunction. On the rare occasion when brake failure occurs, the driver might have avoided the accident with more frequent brake checks at their local dealership. You Save Money on Brake Services With routine scheduled inspections, you're taking a proactive approach to brake maintenance. The technicians can identify and repair minor problems before they develop into anything more serious. For example, replacing worn-out brake pads in a timely manner avoids the risk of an overly worn pad damaging the rotor disc, which can be much more expensive to repair or replace. Your Car Holds Its Value for Longer Many drivers wish to keep open the option of reselling their vehicle one day in the future. Routine brake servicing, plus the paperwork to prove it, can prove that you've taken good care of your car or truck. This often makes a significant difference to the resale value of a pre-owned vehicle. How Frequently to Visit Our Dealership To Have Your Brakes Inspected It's generally recommended to have the brakes inspected twice a year. More aggressive drivers or drivers who put their brakes under more strain in heavy traffic or on mountainous terrain should consider having their brakes checked three or even four times a year. Have your Jeep's brakes inspected today at Sisbarro Deming Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Deming, NM. We're a locally owned and operated dealership that's been diligently serving the region's drivers with terrific vehicles, deals, and maintenance services for over four decades.

Some drivers are still unaware of the importance of visiting their RAM dealer on a regular basis to get a RAM oil change, yet this important aspect of vehicle maintenance should never be overlooked. Let's take a look at why oil is so important for your car's health and performance and find out more about how often it needs to be changed. more Your RAM's engine contains a lot of moving parts, all of which need proper lubrication with oil to prevent them from rubbing together and causing friction. If the level of oil is too low, heat generated by this friction will build up, eventually damaging your engine through premature wear and tear, and potentially even causing a fire. Furthermore, if the oil flowing through your engine is contaminated, it can cause blockages that negatively affect your car's performance. Over time, debris and dirt will accumulate in your engine oil, and it will start to become thick and slow-moving, preventing it from effectively performing its role as a lubricant. As a result, you'll get less mileage from each tank of fuel and your vehicle's performance and lifespan will be reduced too. How Often Should I Visit My RAM Dealer to Change the Oil? It's usually recommended that you visit your dealer after completing 7,000 - 10,000 miles to have the oil changed. However, you can check the recommended intervals for your specific RAM model by looking at your owner's manual. If you regularly drive under extreme conditions, for example if you drive commercially, off-road, or regularly tow heavy loads, changing your oil more frequently is advisable. Can I Check and Change My Own Oil? You can check your own oil levels to make sure that they are not too low, and you can do this by parking your vehicle on a level surface, waiting until its engine has completely cooled down, then reading the dipstick. If the level is below the minimum, it's time to top up your oil. At the same time, look at the consistency and appearance of the oil, and if it looks dark, gritty, or thick, it's time for an oil change. When it comes to changing your oil, though, it's best to leave it to the professionals. Oil changes require specialist skill and knowledge, so unless you're a trained mechanic, you should visit your dealership to have this maintenance task carried out. If you need to arrange an oil change, or you'd like your oil checked, call Sisbarro Deming Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Deming, NM, today. We'll make sure your oil is clean and at the optimum level so you can enjoy a smooth, safe, drive.

When it comes to making sure your car runs safely, you can't ignore your tires. Recognizing when it's time for new tires from the RAM dealership is an important step in protecting yourself and your vehicle. Recognizing the Signs of Tire Wear Low Tread Depth The most obvious sign that your tires need replacing is worn tread. The minimum legal tread depth is 2/32 of an inch. A simple way to check this is the penny test. Insert a penny into the tread group with Lincoln's head facing down. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, it's time for a new set of tires. more Visible Tread Wear Indicator Bars Modern tires have special indicators to help warn you when your tires are getting too low. Tread wear indicator bars are thin bars of flat rubber located at the bottom of the tread groove. When your tires are new, they are difficult to see. As your tires wear down, they become more visible. If your tread wear indicators are flush with the surface of your tires, you need a new set. Frequent Low Tire Pressure If you often have to top up the air in your tires, you may have a slow leak. Driving on underinflated tires is bad for them, and can cause permanent damage. If you get a leak checked out soon enough, you may be able to repair it. Uneven Wear Inspect your tires for uneven wear patterns. Uneven wear can be a sign of improper inflation, misalignment, or issues with the suspension. Addressing these issues early can extend the life of your tires and improve your vehicle's handling. Strange Vibrations Experiencing unusual vibrations while driving, especially at high speeds, can indicate that your tires are unbalanced or damaged. It's important to get this checked out to avoid further damage to your car. Cracks in the Sidewall Visible cracks or cuts in the side wall of the tire can signal dry rot or other structural issues. These weaknesses could lead to tire failure and should be addressed immediately. Bulges or Blisters Bulges or blisters on the side wall of your tire are signs of weakened tire structure and can lead to sudden blowouts. If you notice any such issues, replace the affected tire as soon as possible. Visit Sisbarro Deming CDJR Dealership for New Tires Your local dealership is not just about selling cars.

How are your vehicle's headlights? Are they doing what they're supposed to do? Failing headlights are something that is easy to miss until it's too late, so here's some advice from your local Jeep dealer about the signs to watch for, that indicate your CDJR vehicle may need new headlights. Dimming or Flickering Lights One of the first signs that your CDJR vehicle's headlights may need replacement is dimming or flickering lights. If you notice that your headlights are not as bright as they used to be, or they flicker intermittently, it could be due to a failing bulb or a faulty electrical connection. Dim headlights reduce your visibility at night, increasing the risk of accidents. Replacing the bulbs or addressing the electrical issue promptly can restore proper illumination. more Yellowing or Hazy Headlight Lenses Over time, the plastic lenses covering your headlights may become yellowed or hazy due to exposure to UV rays and environmental factors. These cloudy lenses can significantly reduce the effectiveness of your headlights and limit the distance you can see ahead. If you notice this issue, consider replacing the headlight lenses or the entire headlight assembly to restore optimal clarity and brightness. Uneven or Misaligned Beams Properly aligned headlights are essential for safe driving, as they ensure that your lights illuminate the road evenly and do not blind oncoming drivers. If you notice that your CDJR vehicle's headlights have uneven or misaligned beams, it can be a sign of damaged or worn-out components, such as the bulb, reflector, or lens. Regularly inspect your headlights and have them adjusted or replaced by a professional if needed to maintain safe night driving. Rapid Burnout of Bulbs If you find yourself replacing headlight bulbs frequently, it may be an indication of a more significant issue with your CDJR vehicle's electrical system or headlight assembly. High-quality headlight bulbs should last a significant amount of time before needing replacement. Frequent bulb burnouts can be a sign of voltage fluctuations or overheating within the system. Reduced Nighttime Visibility Reduced visibility while driving at night is a clear indicator that your CDJR vehicle's headlights require attention. If you struggle to see the road, road signs, or obstacles clearly, even with your headlights on, it's time to take action. It could be a combination of issues, such as aging bulbs, dirty lenses, or damaged reflectors. If you notice any of these signs, give us a call at Sisbarro Deming Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to get quality service and genuine parts for your CDJR vehicle. Our expert team here in Deming, NM, is ready to assist, whether you need to replace bulbs, lenses, or entire headlight assemblies.

Many factors can cause your battery to die,​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ including age, environmental conditions, electrical shorts, and other issues. Fortunately, your battery will usually show signs that something is wrong, and this can give you time to visit your Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealer for a new car battery. These are a few signs that your battery could be failing. Headlights Left On At one time or another, almost every driver forgets to turn off their headlights when they get home at night. It's a very easy thing to do, especially if you've had a long day. When your engine is switched off, the battery takes over from the alternator and supplies power to all your car's systems and accessories. It may seem minor, but the headlights draw significant power from the battery. Depending on the age and condition of your battery, the headlights can drain the battery within four hours. If this has happened, we'll need to test your battery to determine if the battery drain has damaged the battery. If the battery is ok, we'll recharge it. If the battery has been damaged, we can install a new one for you. more Extreme Heat As we all know, summer temperatures in New Mexico can soar and maintain this level of heat for days on end. While this weather can have you cranking up the AC and wishing you were in a pool, the battery gets no such relief. When your engine is running on a hot day, the temperature under the hood can easily rise to 300 F. High temperatures over a sustained period can damage your battery. The heat affects the chemical reactions inside the battery, causing the electrolyte solution to expand. As the electrolyte expands, it forces the battery casing to bulge outwards. This distortion damages the battery's internal structure, which can't be repaired. If your battery is bulging, we must replace it before it fails. Damaged Alternator One of the alternator's functions is to maintain the battery at full charge. As soon as your engine is running, the alternator begins the recharging process. It charges the battery at full power for ten minutes and then switches to a more sedate recharging rate of 10%. The reduced recharging rate is because the battery's chemical makeup can't sustain a continual high recharging rate. If your alternator has been damaged, it might not switch to the reduced recharging rate. The alternator will continue to charge the battery at full power, the battery's internal temperature will rapidly rise, and the electrolyte solution will boil. This can inflict serious damage and even cause the battery to fail. We'll repair or replace your alternator and check the battery to determine if it also needs replacement. If you suspect something is wrong with your battery, visit our service department right away at Sisbarro Deming CDJR in Deming, NM.

Your CDJR vehicle is made to be tough and reliable but keeping it that way does require a little TLC on your part from time to time. Is it time for a transmission repair from your Chrysler dealer? Here are a few ways to tell. 1. Transmission Slipping This occurs when the car changes gears unexpectedly or the engine revs during a gear change. It can feel like you're driving in a certain gear, and then it changes for no apparent reason. This slipping could indicate a problem with the transmission fluid, wear and tear of gears, or issues with the transmission bands. more 2. Rough Shifts Your CDJR should seamlessly shift, and if you start to notice that the shifts between gears are more abrupt or rougher than usual, it could be a sign of transmission trouble. These rough shifts can manifest as a noticeable 'thud' or 'clunk' when the car changes gears. 3. Delayed Engagement This happens when there's a noticeable delay or hesitation before the car engages into drive mode and starts moving forward. If you experience a pause after shifting from 'Park' to 'Drive', it's time to get the transmission checked. 4. Fluid Leaks If you notice a spot of red fluid under your car, it could be a transmission fluid leak. It's important to address leaks promptly, as low fluid levels can lead to significant transmission damage. 5. Warning Light Activates Modern vehicles are equipped with sensors that trigger a warning light on the dashboard if there's an issue with the transmission. While a check engine light can indicate various issues, it's wise to have it checked, especially if you're experiencing any other symptoms of transmission trouble. 6. Unusual Noises If you hear unusual noises like whining, clunking, or buzzing when driving, it could indicate transmission issues. These sounds may become more pronounced when you shift gears and can signify anything from a simple fluid issue to the need for a major repair. 7. Burning Smell A burning smell emanating from your vehicle is a serious sign, even if the transmission isn't the issue. It could indicate that your transmission fluid has overheated, and overheated fluid can cause damage to the transmission, which may lead to erratic performance and even failure. 8. Difficulty in Shifting Gears You might experience resistance or struggle when trying to move the gear shifter between positions, and this difficulty can be due to a range of issues, including low transmission fluid, damaged gear synchronizers, or other internal transmission problems. Regular maintenance, including fluid checks and services, can help prolong the life of your vehicle's transmission, so whether you're noticing these signs or you just want to avoid them, schedule a transmission service with us at Sisbarro Deming Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Deming, NM to keep your vehicle performing as you expect.
