Cold temperatures are here, and snow is surely not far behind – winter has arrived! It's time to consider getting your car, truck, or SUV serviced with genuine OEM parts at La Porte Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram before the cold sets in.

Don't settle for less-than-genuine parts; they just might not be up to the challenge.

Still not sure if your vehicle needs a checkup before you brave the outdoors? We'll give you a look at just some of the parts of your vehicle that are critical to making it through the rough winter months.
Tire Condition
We all know how messy the roads can get around Westville, IN, when the snow starts coming down. And no part of your vehicle does a better job of keeping you safe than a good pair of tires. La Porte Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is happy to inspect our customers' tires to ensure they're driving on a set that's safe for winter use. Bald or aging tires provide significantly less grip than a new pair with good tread, and we always recommend having a set of winter tires ready to go. Tires are arguably the most important part of your vehicle when it comes to traction.
Engine Oil Change and Other Fluids
As temperatures drop, your vehicle's engine's cooling and heating needs change. Oil becomes less viscous in colder weather, so running a heavier-weight oil is important to ensure smooth engine operation. A new filter will catch pollutants better, too, letting your engine run cleaner and longer. Other important fluids we recommend checking include coolant, windshield-washer fluid, and brake fluid. Maintaining your car, truck, or SUV with La Porte Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram ensures it only sees the manufacturer's recommended fluid or better.
Battery Health Check
Batteries aren't big fans of the cold weather, either – and the last thing you want is to be without power when you need it most. La Porte Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is happy to inspect your battery and replace it with a genuine part so you can have added peace of mind throughout the winter.
Brake Servicing for Our Chesterton, IN, Area Customers
Slowing down can be just as important as getting traction when driving in inclement weather. We'll inspect your brake rotors, calipers, and pads, verifying that your vehicle is safe and ready for occasionally dicey outdoor driving. There's no substitute for using genuine parts regarding brakes and safety systems, so rest easy knowing we're using the best available.
