Your Chrysler is a great piece of engineering, and you want to keep it in good condition. Maintenance and servicing are the keys to enjoying your Chrysler long-term and maintaining its value. At your Chrysler dealership, we provide all the service you need to keep your car in perfect condition. These are a few samples of the services we provide.

Alternator Replacement

The alternator is a mini-generator that produces electricity for all your car’s systems and components. It’s a rugged component, and will usually last at least eight years before it needs replacement. An alternator can be damaged by other component’s failures. A bad battery, for example, can shorten an alternator’s useful life.

If your alternator is failing, there are always warning signs. The check battery light will illuminate to show there’s a problem in the electrical system. As the alternator weakens, the reduced level of power supplied by the alternator will cause dim lights, random electrical issues, and other problems. We can easily test your alternator and quickly fit a replacement to eliminate any electrical issues.

Fluid Checks

Your Chrysler contains a variety of fluids, each of which has a specialized function. Som​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​e of the most important fluids are brake fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, engine oil, and windshield washer fluid. Over time, each of these fluids slowly degrades as it works, and this will affect the smooth operation of your car. Old engine oil, for example, can cause friction damage to engine components.

During a fluid change, we test each fluid. These tests can reveal any unseen problems and allow us to investigate further and fix the problem. After testing, we drain the fluid and replace it with new fluid. We also replace any filters that work with the fluids to ensure the new fluid can work effectively.

Battery Testing

No one wants to be stuck with a dead battery. A car battery will inevitably fail, and its short life of three to five years means you want to know in advance if there’s a problem. Fortunately, a failing battery will usually always show signs that something is wrong. Like a failing alternator, a dying battery will cause the check battery light to illuminate, and you could also experience starting problems.

We can easily test your battery to determine its future potential. Our battery testing machine can assess the strength of your battery and give a reliable indication of how long it will last before it needs replacement. If our battery is in poor condition, we can install a new one for you while you wait.
