Routine Dodge service has many benefits. It can extend the life of your vehicle, save you time and money, and even improve the ride. That’s why it’s useful to know when to schedule vehicle service, and how to recognize signs that your car needs care. The expert service team here at Hall Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM of Virginia Beach has you covered, with a closer look at common indications that you’ll want to schedule Dodge service.
Your Fuel Efficiency Drops
If your vehicle is no longer operating at top capacity, it will show in your fuel economy. This may be due to problems like poor tire condition, old oil, or misfiring pistons. A sudden change in fuel economy is often an indication that your vehicle is in immediate need of service.
You Notice Sounds or Smells
If you hear unusual sounds from the engine or when braking or steering, that typically indicates that a part has worn down, shifted out of place, or become damaged. Unusual scents and smells from the engine, exhaust, or braking system are all clear signs that parts need to be serviced, repaired, or replaced.
The Vehicle is Less Responsive
Routine car service helps to keep the parts in your vehicle as responsive as possible. When the vehicle begins to lag or takes too long to respond, that means the part is wearing down, damaged, or out of place, which should be addressed right away.
The Ride is Bumpy
Parts in need of service don’t run as smoothly. If you notice that your ride is jerky or uncomfortable, or that your vehicle feels rough on the road, a simple service appointment can help to make all the difference.
