Did fall sneak up on you this year? If so, you may not have prepared your Jeep® vehicle for what’s coming. To help ensure it holds up well and performs as it should throughout the season and beyond, here are some key Jeep service tips you don’t want to forget about this season:
Get Your Battery Tested
Do you know how long a typically battery lasts before it needs to be replaced? It’s about five years. When temperatures drop, it can be tough for older batteries to get the engine going. This is why you should have yours tested to see how much charge it has left.
Have the Brakes Checked
When roads in St. Cloud become icy, you’ll appreciate having strong brakes. Even if your system seems fine, you should have it checked out. And if you’re noticing any issues – like a spongy feel or squeaking sound – don’t hesitate to have your brakes examined.
Make Sure Your Tires are in Good Shape
In addition to good brakes, it’s vital that you can get great traction from your tires. This means that the treads need to be deep enough. If they’re shallow, think about getting them replaced. You may also want to consider eventually putting snow tires on for even better grip on slick roads.
Try Out the Heater
If you haven’t put your car’s heater on recently, be sure to do that well before you actually need it. And if it doesn’t seem to be working so well, this is something you will definitely want to address before the freezing temperatures get here.
