Why Back-to-School Maintenance Matters

As demands on your vehicle increase during the school season — early morning departures, longer commutes, tighter schedules — keeping up with regular maintenance becomes more important than ever. Small issues left unaddressed can lead to reduced performance, inefficient fuel use, or costly repairs down the road.

 

Staying on top of manufacturer-recommended service ensures:

• Reliable engine performance
• Smooth handling and braking
• Maximum fuel economy
• Fewer unexpected repair needs
• Enhanced safety for passengers and drivers alike

Recommended Back-to-School Services

The start of the school year is the ideal time to schedule a full inspection and take care of any outstanding maintenance. At 400 CDJR, we’ve outlined key services that help ensure your vehicle is in top condition for the busy season ahead:

 

Brake System Inspection

Your brakes are essential for everyday driving. Our technicians will check the brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels to confirm that your system is operating efficiently and safely.

 

Tire Rotation and Tread Evaluation

Routine tire rotation helps extend the life of your tires and ensures even wear. We’ll also assess tread depth, pressure, and overall condition to maintain optimal traction and ride quality.

 

Battery Test

If your battery is more than a few years old, it may not deliver the power your vehicle requires. We’ll test your battery and charging system to make sure everything functions reliably during every start-up.

 

Oil Change and Filter Replacement

Clean oil protects your engine and keeps it running smoothly. Our service team uses Mopar®-approved oil and filters, tailored to your vehicle's specifications, for maximum performance and efficiency.

 

Fluid Top-Offs and System Checks

From power steering to brake fluid and transmission fluid, all levels will be inspected and replenished as needed. This ensures that every system is working as intended and prevents mechanical wear.

 

Cabin Air Filter and HVAC System Review

A clean cabin air filter improves airflow and interior comfort. Our team will also inspect your vehicle’s HVAC system to ensure your heating and ventilation components are functioning correctly.

 

Wiper Blade Inspection and Replacement

Clear visibility is a key part of safe driving. If your wipers are streaking or skipping, we’ll replace them with high-quality blades designed for your vehicle.
