The use of approved, authentic OEM parts for your vehicle should be of high importance when you bring your car in for repairs to any dealership. You should strive to buy genuine OEM parts from your local CDJR dealership to keep your ride running smoothly. What Are OEM Parts? Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) components are made by the same engineers who built your vehicle. The parts are designed specifically for your car's make, model, and year. Each component is custom-tailored to fit perfectly, just like the original part you want to replace. Unlike aftermarket parts that have different variations, there is only one type of each OEM component for your car. Benefits of Using Genuine Parts for Your CDJR Repairs Superior Performance and Safety CDJR engineers follow strict quality standards and controls when manufacturing OEM components. The high-quality materials and precision engineering ensure zero compromises on form, function, performance, and safety. When you install a genuine part, you are sure that it will deliver excellent performance, just like the original component. Consistent Quality for All Parts Aftermarket repair parts don't undergo strict quality controls, so there may be inconsistency in the quality of components. The stringent standards used in the manufacture of OEM CDJR parts ensure consistent quality. Fast and Hassle-Free Repairs Genuine parts are made to fit perfectly and integrate with the vehicle's systems. You don't need to alter the part or modify existing components to ensure a snug fit. Warranty Coverage Unlike generic parts that have no warranty, OEM CDJR parts are covered by MOPAR. They come with a 24-month parts warranty, which covers the cost of replacing parts that fail due to factory defects or poor workmanship. Your Car Lasts Longer If you want to enjoy longer service from your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram, you should use only genuine parts for all repairs. Genuine parts deliver the best performance while extending your car's lifespan. They also preserve the car's value throughout the years. If you decide to trade it in, you will get a high resale value just because you used genuine parts. Order OEM Car Parts From Your Jeep Dealer Ordering genuine CDJR parts is simple at our local dealership. We have an extensive inventory of genuine OEM components for maintenance and repairs. If you need parts that aren't in stock, we have a direct line to the manufacturer to order them for you.

However, sometimes tires can undergo premature wear and tear or become dangerously damaged, so it's important to keep a close eye on the condition of your tires at all times. The following are a few warning signs to look out for. You can have worn-out or damaged tires promptly replaced at your local Chrysler dealership. Constantly Escaping Air Car tires should always be kept at optimal pressure. Any over or under-inflation can cause overheating, blowouts, and skids. If you notice that one of your tires isn't maintaining air pressure as it should, you might have a hidden puncture or dented tire rim on your hands. You can ask a technician to either find and fix the problem or replace the problematic tire entirely. Odd Sounds and Vibrations Bad tires will often reduce your vehicle's handling while increasing road friction. As a result, you may hear unusual road noise and feel vibrations from below, especially when driving at high speeds. Balding Tire Treads Car tires should never allowed to grow bald, even in patches. Sufficient tread depth is essential to grip the road. If the tread depths on your tires fall to 2/32 of an inch, have them replaced at once. Excessively Uneven Wear While tires naturally wear down unevenly, this isn't good for your vehicle or driving safety. Uneven tires will eventually lead to reduced handling, increased road friction, and excessive wear and tear. You can usually mitigate the negative effects of uneven tire wear with regular tire rotation. However, sometimes unevenness becomes so excessive that the tires need to be replaced. Bulges and Other Damage Driving over curbs, potholes, and rocks on the road can cause serious damage to a tire. These kinds of impacts may rupture internal layers of rubber within a tire, resulting in strange bulges and blisters on the outside. This kind of damage usually means the tire has to go. Any other clear external damage such as deep cuts may also make a tire unsafe to use. Sometimes a cut can be repaired; you'll need to ask a technician if your damaged tire is salvageable. Poor Traction After Rain All drivers should feel confident in their vehicle's ability to maintain traction on varying road surfaces. If you ever suspect a slight loss of traction in your tires, which might become apparent when the roads are wet, don't hesitate to have a technician take a look. When it comes to your tires, safe is always better than sorry. Have your tires inspected and replaced today by experienced technicians at Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Gaylord. We proudly serve the drivers of Gaylord and all of Northern Michigan with excellent cars, deals, financing arrangements, and customer service.

We'd like you to know a few signs that your battery is failing, and it's time to visit us for a new car battery before this happens. Battery Warning Light Your dash has many different warning lights, each of which warns of a potential problem. Your Jeep has a huge number of sensors inside it, and each sensor monitors a specific vehicle component. The sensors connect to your computer and continuously supply it with information on the health and condition of their connected components. The battery warning light illuminates if sensors in the electrical system detect a problem. Your battery can trigger this warning light if it's failing. A battery usually supplies between 12.6 volts and 14.5 volts. If your battery is failing, its voltage output will drop. If the voltage drops below 12 volts, sensors will alert the computer, and the light will come on. We can test your battery and replace it if it's failing. Swollen Battery Case Your battery's contents are protected by a tough plastic casing. This casing prevents sulfuric acid and other battery chemicals from leaking into your engine and also protects the battery contents against contamination. Most car batteries are rectangular, but square batteries are also possible. Over time, environmental factors like extreme heat or cold can damage the battery casing. Extreme temperatures affect the electrolyte solution, which expands and increases pressure inside the casing. The expanding solution can't escape the case, so the internal pressure will force part of the casing outwards. If you look at your battery and the casing is bulging or distorted, your battery is damaged. We'll replace the swollen battery with a new one. Damaged Alternator One of the alternator's jobs is to recharge your battery. The battery supplies the power that starts your engine, and this electrical charge uses a significant part of the battery's energy. When your engine is running, the alternator starts recharging the battery. The alternator recharges at full power for ten minutes and then switches to recharging at 10% to prevent damage to the battery and the alternator. If your alternator is damaged, it can continue to recharge the battery at full power. This increases the battery temperature, and the electrolyte solution inside it can boil. You'll get a warning that something is wrong as the battery warning light will illuminate. We'll examine your battery and replace it if it's been damaged. We'll also replace your alternator. Don't let a battery problem shock you. Call us today at Snethkamp CDJR of Gaylord.

The importance of visibility after dark cannot be over-emphasized; even the level of brightness of your headlights makes a huge difference to the chances of experiencing a collision. With all this in mind, if you ever notice the following headlight problems, visit your local Chrysler dealership right away for new headlights. You're Squinting To See the Road Ahead Most headlights start to fade before they fail, although halogen bulbs and HID bulbs tend to dim much more than LED headlights. Fading headlight brightness can be dangerous if it happens so slowly that you don't immediately notice. However, even slightly dimmed headlights make driving less safe at night, so it's best to replace headlights as soon as you notice them starting to fade. You Notice Flickering Light of Any Kind Headlights shouldn't flicker or grow alternatively brighter and weaker at any rate. These kinds of problems indicate a worn-out bulb filament or perhaps an issue with the wiring or electrical supply. A trusted technician can determine what's causing the flickering and repair it before one of your headlights dies. Your Headlight Lenses Are Dirty or Hazy Occasionally, headlight lenses become so dirty or damaged that they discolor or restrict the light. It's wise to keep your lenses as clean as possible and check them often for cracks and scratches. The UV rays in sunlight can also cause oxidization damage to headlight lenses over time, eventually making them unsafe for use. Your Chrysler Dealership Recommends New Bulbs Just like any important car part, headlights should be checked by a professional on a regular basis. An experienced technician at your local dealership can test the power of your bulbs if they suspect any dimming and repair any problems before your visibility worsens. Should You Replace or Upgrade Your Headlights? Rather than simply replacing your bulbs with new ones, you might want to consider upgrading to a superior type of headlight bulb. Not only might upgrading to HID or long-lasting LED bulbs increase the overall brightness, but you could also benefit from improved bulb longevity. This can save you a great deal of cost and hassle involved in bulb replacements over the lifespan of your car. During your next servicing visit, you can ask the staff at your local dealership what kind of upgrade options are available for your particular make and model. Have your car's headlights inspected and replaced or upgraded at Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Gaylord. Our local full-service dealership is a one-stop shop for all the automotive needs of drivers in Gaylord, Grayling, Petoskey, Boyne City, Kalkaska, and all of Northern Michigan.

Motor oil provides lubrication to protect against friction damage, keeps corrosion at bay, and helps your engine meet all performance demands. When it's time for an oil change, the best place to go is your Chrysler dealership. Most of the time, you will need to schedule oil service for your vehicle every 6,000 miles or so. Your specific make and model, as well as the type of oil your engine uses, can determine the frequency of your oil service. Some engines that use conventional oil may need to schedule service every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, while engines that use synthetic oil may not need service for 6,000 to 7,500 miles. When in doubt, you should always check the recommended oil service schedule for your vehicle in your owner's manual. It's also a good rule of thumb to schedule an oil service every six months if you don't drive your vehicle frequently since motor oil degrades as it ages. Should You Schedule a Seasonal Oil Service? If you haven't had your scheduled oil service recently, then it's a good idea to schedule seasonal service before the cold winter months. The oil your engine uses during the summer might not tolerate the deep winter freezes that frequently pass through Michigan. To protect your engine and ensure your vehicle can perform during the winter, you can ask your dealership mechanic to use winter oil for your vehicle. The best winter oil for your vehicle will depend on your make, model, and engine configuration. In general, the best oil for winter has a lower viscosity that maintains its fluidity even in freezing weather. Your owner's manual may have a motor oil recommendation so you can winterize your engine with the correct oil weight for the season. How Long Does Oil Service at Your Chrysler Dealer Take? Oil service for your vehicle is one of the quickest maintenance tasks. Most of the time, a total oil service takes 30 to 45 minutes. Your oil service will include tasks such as draining the old oil from your engine, cleaning or replacing the oil filter, and filling your engine with new oil. During your oil service, you can also ask your dealership mechanic to inspect other essential vehicle components, such as your tires, battery, or transmission. Changing the oil in your engine will ensure it lasts for a long time. With fresh oil, all the internal engine mechanisms will be properly lubricated, which cuts down on damage from wear and tear. You should always schedule oil service promptly to protect your engine. Book your next service appointment at Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Gaylord.

You can go from soccer practice to sand dunes in the same afternoon with this practical, yet powerful SUV. Few cars balance the two better, and the value of this used model has lasted to this very day. Whether you're a Grand Cherokee lover who can appreciate an affordable used option or someone who has yet to get behind the wheel of the most popular Jeep SUV, here's everything you need to know to get up to speed. Ten Trim Models to Choose From Starting from the bottom, we have the ever-reliable Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, a mainstay in the Jeep lineup. Its upgraded brother, the Laredo X, included extra creature comforts inside, like a much better sound system and active noise control. You'll also get a power liftgate and heated seats if you can find a pre-owned model of this trim. The same approach was taken with the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and Limited X. The Limited added a gorgeous panoramic sunroof and 20” wheels, giving the Limited a much more aggressive stance. You'll feel the power when you're behind the wheel, even just three model years removed. The Freedom and 80th Anniversary trim models for 2021 tacked on several cosmetic touches that are sure to make your used Grand Cherokee stand out from the rest. All of these trim models came equipped with the standard 295hp V6 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. 4x4 was optional on all of these models, with rear-wheel drive standard. Top of the Line Jeep Grand Cherokees If you're the type that prefers dirt over asphalt, then look no further than a pre-owned Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. There's no two-wheel drive option here, just pure 4x4 action. It's a Spartan trim model with no heated leather seats or massive rims. With increased ground clearance and beefy tires, you can take this one anywhere. But if you still need extra technology and comforts in your life, the High Altitude and Summit trim lines can take you wherever you want to go in style. Built with the same rugged specs as the Trailhawk, these trims put the leather back into the interior and made sure you enjoyed the trip with premium navigation systems and 8.4” displays. Still Not Enough? One of the best things about Jeep's 2021 line of trim models was that the buyer was not forced to make tough decisions. You could customize almost any trim model to your liking. If you need more power, there was an optional V8 that put down 360 horsepower available on every model. All-wheel drive is also an option that you'll find when searching for a pre-owned model. And we haven't even begun to mention all of the potential accessories you can buy for your Jeep.

This vehicle reigns supreme when it comes to off-roading, and the latest iteration has more to offer than ever before. Explore some of the best features of the new 2023 Jeep Wrangler thanks to Snethkamp CDJR of Gaylord. Discover whether or not it's right for your next adventure. Trim Levels The new Wrangler comes in four different trim levels, and they each have unique exterior features to keep in mind when deciding on your favorite. To begin with, the Wrangler Sport offers tow hooks, a soft-top roof, and 17-inch wheels. With the upgraded Sahara trim, you get four doors by default along with larger 18-inch wheels. One of the most popular trim levels on the Wrangler is the Rubicon, thanks to its iconic off-roading capabilities. The latest version comes equipped with 33-inch all-terrain tires and unique badging. Finally, the High Altitude trim offers a bit more luxury than you might expect from a rugged off-roader, with features like LED headlights and taillights in addition to stylish 20-inch wheels. Engine Under the hood of your new Wrangler, you'll find one of two engine options. The first is a 3.6-liter V-6 that's similar to the standard engine you'll find in a wide range of GM vehicles. With the Wrangler's setup, though, this engine boasts an impressive 285 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque. The Wrangler historically has only come with one engine, so the second option here is particularly exciting. It's a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four that maximizes efficiency while still offering 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Performance As you might expect, the Wrangler's performance excels most when it comes to off-roading. Its unique capabilities allow you to enjoy ground clearance, traction, articulation, water fording, and maneuverability like no other vehicle can offer. Plus, it features multiple four-wheel-drive systems to choose from, letting you customize your performance as needed. You can even enjoy a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds if you need to haul some extra cargo on your next adventure. Interior Inside the Wrangler, you'll find an interior that's as luxurious as it is utilitarian. Drain plugs are available that make it easy to wash out the interior without having to waste time on cleanup. You also get a wide windshield and an elevated viewing position that offers an exceptional viewing range no matter where your journey takes you. In terms of tech, you can get an advanced navigation system in addition to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Safety Features Safety is the most important factor in any vehicle, and the Wrangler is no exception. Fortunately, you'll find a wealth of exciting safety features that let you drive with peace of mind. In fact, there are more than 75 features working together to keep you and your passengers safe. A large part of its defenses is the high-strength steel design that directs kinetic energy from impacts around the cabin. Plus, you can opt for high-tech driver assistance features like blind-spot monitoring for that extra bit of protection on the road.
