As the weather cools off in the autumn, most disciplined owners of Dodge cars and Jeep® SUVs understand that it's time to start winterizing their vehicles to prepare for the harsh winter weather, but of course the same should be true for the harsh weather we see during the summer months here in Baltimore, MD. Here at Heritage Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, we have a few tips for summer car care that will help keep your vehicle looking great and driving as well as it was intended to drive, all of which we are happy to help you with at our in-house service department:


Check coolant – Just as important as the fluids that help keep your engine from freezing in the winter, these fluids help keep your vehicle from overheating. An engine is hot no matter the weather, but it can get even more so in the summer. We'll make sure your coolant is topped off, but we'll also check the hoses and coolant reservoir to make sure they're in good shape so you don't end up having to deal with any leaks.


Check your wipers – If you still haven't changed your wipers after the ice and snow of winter destroyed them, now is the time to do that. It rains in the summer, too!


Replace your air filter – Changing the air filter is something everybody puts off for as long as they possibly can, but summertime is a great opportunity to do that. They can catch a lot of allergens in the spring, but no matter what's clogging them up, it's bad for the heat of your engine and for fuel efficiency.
