Infrequent vehicle use 

Odds are you are using your vehicle less frequently this year and you may use it even less frequently this upcoming winter. Mopar recommends starting your vehicle and letting it idle for 15-20 minutes at least once a week to maintain vehicle fluids and battery life. It is even better to drive the vehicle at least once a week for 15-20 minutes if you can as it prevents flat spots on your tires. If you’re unable to drive the vehicle, inflate your tires to 7.5 psi higher than the recommended pressure.

Tires

To extend the life of your tires, it’s important to keep them properly inflated. Frequently check your tire pressure to keep them performing at their best and follow the recommended pressure levels indicated on the driver’s-side door jam sticker. If you need new tires this year, take advantage of Mopar’s current promotion: buy 3 tires and get the 4th for $1! See this promotion on our website here .

Oil

Changing the oil at recommended intervals is important for extending the life of your vehicle in any season! At Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we often have coupons available for oil changes here. We can make your routine oil change even easier with our Express Lane service, too. 

Battery

The heat of the summer can cause damage to your battery and even failure in the winter. Fall is the ideal time to check your battery’s condition and replace it if necessary. You can find coupons for parts and battery checks here. 

Wiper Blades

In Arkansas it rains. A lot! There’s nothing worse than being stuck in rush-hour traffic in pouring rain without well-functioning wiper blades. If your wiper blades are squeaky and make visible streaks, it’s probably time for them to be replaced. We offer wiper blade replacements in our Express Lane for quick, convenient service. 

Landers Direct

To make your service experience easier and stress-free, we are now offering our complimentary Landers Direct vehicle pick-up and drop-off service. Simply schedule your appointment online and we take care of the rest!
