As a respected local Jeep dealer, here's our guide to summer maintenance for easy-breezy miles and summertime smiles. 1. Get Your Coolant Topped Up (and Possibly Flushed) Coolant is the fluid that prevents your engine from overheating. Combine the heat of being under the hood on a hot sunny day and the heat of the thousands of explosions per minute inside an internal combustion engine, and you can see how without coolant, an engine might overheat very quickly. Check with your Jeep maintenance team to see if your coolant needs topping up or a flush. 2. Check Your Battery Winter is often thought of as the time of year when batteries die, but did you know that AAA reports over two million battery service calls per year in the summer? Hot weather can make the fluids in your battery more prone to evaporation, leading to dead batteries and ruined road trips. 3. Check Your Tire Pressure Did you know that tire pressure is seasonal? Whether you're riding summer tires or 35-inch off-roading monsters, the air in your Jeep's tires expands and contracts with the season (and on every drive). Check your tire pressure regularly when the thermometer swings, and of course, make sure you're riding on summer tires. 4. Change Your Oil Motor oil helps cool and lubricate your engine, also helping to minimize overheating. If you're creeping up on the month or the mileage limit from your last oil change, be sure to get your oil changed to keep your engine working smoothly. Expecting extreme heat this summer? Consider choosing synthetic motor oil, which is often better at handling extreme temperatures than its conventional counterpart. 5. Air Conditioner Service Adults, kids, and pets are all prone to overheating in cars on hot days, and that's especially true if the air conditioning isn't working the way it should. If your A/C isn't blowing as ice-cold as you'd like, summer is the perfect time to bring your Jeep in for service so our team can ensure you stay cool all summer long.   Whether it's summer tires, an oil change, a fresh battery, or making sure your A/C is in tip-top shape, there's nobody who knows your Jeep like the people who work on them day after day. Schedule your summertime maintenance appointment at Cunningham's of Edinboro in Edinboro, PA, and let our team help make your summer a legendary one. Image via

To keep your 2024 RAM in top-notch condition, you have to do more than just wash it and fill up the tank. To ensure that your vehicle performs at its best for years to come, you need to head to the RAM dealership for regular maintenance services. Regular Oil Changes Your RAM's engine depends on oil. Regular oil changes prevent engine wear and tear by ensuring proper lubrication, reducing friction, and helping to keep the engine components cool during operation. Not sure how often to change your oil? Follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Depending on your driving habits, this could be every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Tire Maintenance Tires play a big part in your safety, comfort, and keeping that fuel efficiency up. Poorly maintained tires can lead to reduced traction, longer stopping distances, and even blowouts. Regularly inspect your tires for signs of wear and tear. Check the pressure at least once a month to ensure they are inflated to the correct pressure, and have them rotated on schedule. Tire rotations usually line up with oil changes, which makes it easier to remember. Brake Inspections You can't drive safely without working brakes, but over time they become less effective. Have your brakes inspected regularly to catch issues with them before they become serious. Our technicians will look for wear on your pads, check for fluid leaks, and examine the rotors. We'll replace any worn components with OEM parts that are made specifically for your car. Fluid Checks and Replacements Besides engine oil, your RAM relies on a few other vital fluids. These fluids, including coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid, need to be kept clean and at the correct levels. Fluids should be topped off and replaced as needed, and regular checks at your dealership can prevent them from getting dangerously low. Engine and Cabin Air Filter Replacement Air filters prevent dirt and other pollutants from entering your vehicle's engine and cabin, keeping the air inside your truck clean and protecting the engine from harmful debris. Replace your engine air filter and cabin air filter according to RAM's schedule. This usually means 15,000 to 30,000 miles for engine air filters and possibly more often for cabin air filters. Battery Care A failing battery can impact your electrical system's performance, or worse, leave you stranded. Have your battery terminals cleaned and the battery tested during regular service visits to check its charge and overall health. Most batteries need to be replaced every three to five years. Scheduling regular visits to the dealership is the best way to keep your RAM in the best possible condition. Call Cunningham Chrysler of Edinboro in Edinboro, PA, to schedule your next service today.

Numerous parts of your vehicle need to be replaced every few years. The lights on your vehicle are among those components that need to be replaced every so often. Your local Chrysler dealer is the best place to get new headlights, so stop by when you notice any of the signs below that indicate your headlights are getting ready to burn out. 1. The Headlights Aren't Working One or both headlights no longer working is the most obvious sign that you need to get those headlights replaced. When one of the headlights burns out, it may seem like you can just replace that bulb. However, you should always have both headlights replaced at the same time. Even if one of your bulbs is still working, it's probably not going to work for much longer after the other has died. It's more convenient to get both replaced at the same time instead of taking another trip to get your other headlight replaced in the near future. 2. The Headlights Are Hazy or Discolored If the light coming from your headlights seems hazy or has a yellow tint, then you may not need to have the bulbs replaced. However, you may need new headlight covers. UV light, dirt, and salt stain the headlight covers over time and commonly cause haziness or yellowing that impacts how effective your headlights are. The headlight covers may need to be replaced or cleaned using a special solution at the dealer. 3. The Headlights Are Flickering Your headlights flickering is never normal, even if they just flicker once or twice right after you switch them on. Any form of flickering is a sign that your headlights may burn out soon. Flickering can also indicate problems with your electrical system, so make sure you look out for other electrical issues in the vehicle. Regardless of what the problem is, flickering headlights warrant a trip to the dealer so you can have the problem fixed ASAP. 4. The Headlights Have Gotten Dimmer It's natural for your headlights to get dimmer over time, but eventually, they'll become so dim that you can't see the road as well as you used to at night. If your headlights are noticeably dimmer than they used to be, visit the dealer as soon as possible. The headlights may burn out very soon. Dimming headlights can also indicate an electrical issue, so be aware and keep an eye out for other signs of electrical problems.   If your headlights have burned out, or you think they will soon, visit Cunningham Chrysler of Edinboro in Edinboro, PA. We'll make sure we check on their function when you stop by for your regular service, too. Image via

The winter season is both beautiful and harsh. During the cold months, snow and cold temperatures put extra stress on your vehicle and make your car systems work harder. That's why it's important to ensure you do your winter maintenance so your Jeep is ready to go. Read on to learn more about the Jeep maintenance you can complete to help your vehicle power through the winter. 4 Jeep Maintenance Tips to Prep Your Jeep for Winter 1. Cooling System Winter Maintenance Extreme weather means that your cooling system has to work harder to keep your Jeep running. Coolant keeps your engine from overheating and keeps the engine and other components from seizing when temperatures dip. The first thing you need to do for winter is check underneath your Jeep for coolant leaks. If you notice a bright yellow or green fluid, it's possibly antifreeze and needs to be checked out by a professional. 2. Radiator Coolant Levels The next thing you need to check is your radiator coolant level. The fluid should be maintained at the proper fuel level. Wait until the Jeep is cooled down, or check it before you start the vehicle. If the fluid is low, corroded, or dark, have the levels topped off or changed at your dealership. You also want to make sure you are using the correct antifreeze/water mixture in your vehicle. The antifreeze will keep the water from freezing inside the lines in your car. The certified technicians at your dealership will be able to recommend the ratio you need for your area. You should also consider having your coolant flushed every few years. 3. Belts, Seals, and Hoses Rubber shrinks and hardens as the weather gets cold. If you had leaks when the weather was warm, they are almost guaranteed to be much worse as temperatures drop. Have your vehicle's belts, seals, and hoses visually inspected and replaced if needed. 4. Oil Change You should be getting regular oil changes for your Jeep. However, it's also very important to get your oil changed as winter hits. Cold weather can cause the oil in your Jeep to move too slowly, causing excessive wear on your engine. This is why having the correct motor oil in your Jeep is so important. The professionals at your dealership can change your oil and get you back on the road in no time. As winter hits hard, you should also consider changing your windshield wiper blades to ensure that you can see through the harsh conditions the cold weather provides. Give us a call at Cunningham Chrysler of Edinboro to schedule an appointment with the professionals in our service department to get your Jeep ready for winter today. Image via
