If you're anything like us at Hall Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM Virginia Beach, you love taking your Jeep SUV across the most treacherous terrain Virginia has to offer. When you hit the off-road aggressively, though, Jeep tire service is more important than ever. Don't get stranded because of a tire issue; take care of these service stops before you explore.
Why Do I Need a Wheel Alignment?
Your tires have to be at precise angles relative to a center point (known as the toe, caster, and camber). When you're driving over rough ridges and rocky terrain, it's easy for your wheels to go off-center. That makes your wheels much less efficient, both when you're off-roading and when you're on the highway on the way home. Wheel alignment at Hall Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM ensures your wheels are delivering power where it's needed for an efficient, smooth drive.
Why Do I Need Tire Rotation?
Some drivers conflate wheel alignment and tire rotation, but they serve different purposes. Regular tire rotations combat the unique wear patterns that tires tend to develop when they're in the same position for too long. We suggest rotating them with each oil change. You can schedule this on-site or as part of our mobile car maintenance program, ensuring even wear and keeping them driving well for longer.
When Do I Need New Tires?
Once the treads begin to wear off your tire, it's a good sign you need a new set. Tires should generally have between 6 and 10mm of tread for peak traction and safety. Cracks on the tire surface, especially on the sidewall, are also a sign of your tires getting older. No matter how they look, tires that are five years old or more probably need replacement; don't forget that this applies to your spare, too.
Jeep Brake Service
Jeep brake service isn't something you'd typically think of when you're considering wheel and tire maintenance, but you should. Inspecting and replacing brake pads, resurfacing or replacing rotors if needed, checking brake fluid levels, and ensuring the entire braking system operates at peak performance ensures stopping power and safety. That's not all. When performed alongside wheel alignment, it helps ensure balanced handling and even braking response, while pairing it with new tire installation allows for optimal traction and extended tire life.
