Replace Your Windshield Wipers 

Arkansas weather can be pretty temperamental. One minute, the sun is shining and you’re cranking up the A/C, while the next the sky is raining buckets! You can pretty much guarantee it’ll rain most days in springtime, and you don’t want to be stuck on a crowded interstate with faulty windshield wipers. If your windshield wipers leave streaks or squeak as they move, it’s probably time to get them replaced. At Landers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, our service department can get new windshield wipers installed in no time. We also offer coupons for our parts and services so you can always get the best price! 

Have the Air Conditioning Serviced 

Right now, the temperature in Little Rock, Arkansas is wonderfully mild, but in just a few weeks, it’ll start heating up! To ensure your A/C is working properly, we can inspect your system and check the hoses and connections for leaks to make sure you’ll stay comfortable all spring and summer long. Schedule your maintenance appointment for A/C inspection here. 

Rotate Your Tires 

Before you hit the road for spring break, make sure your tires are inspected and rotated to extend their life and prevent uneven wear. We recommend rotating your tires every 3,000-5,000 miles. At Landers CDJR, our tire rotation service includes a tire inspection, a tire rotation, and a steering, suspension and brake system inspection.

Replace Your Cabin Air Filter 

Allergy season is upon us, and there is nothing worse than feeling sneezy, stuffy and groggy. To ensure you’re keeping the bad stuff out of your cabin while you’re driving, we recommend replacing your cabin air filter annually. The filter helps keep dust, pollen and other allergens out of your car so you can breathe easy while you drive! 

Wash and Wax Your Car to Manage Pollen 

This time of year, everything is covered in the sneeze-inducing, yellow dust called pollen. If you don’t want to enter a cloud of pollen every time you enter or exit your vehicle, it’s important to keep it washed and waxed to protect your car. When your car has a strong layer of wax or sealant, pollen won’t be able to stick to its exterior as easily. Plus, the pollen with easily rinse off from the sealant with just a hose!
