One vital step to keep your car in good condition is regularly scheduled oil changes. When your car, truck or SUV is operating, the oil undergoes thermal breakdown due to high temperatures. When this occurs, it creates unnecessary premature engine wear. Oil is crucial to a working vehicle, especially clean oil. When the oil is not replaced and these parts wear each other out, that's when it gets expensive. Having your vehicle's oil changed at Leith Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Aberdeen rather than an independent shop will benefit you the most and is in the best interest in the care and longevity of your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or RAM vehicle.
Most manufacturers recommend an oil change every 3,000 to 7,000 miles. This large difference comes from the effects of driving habits and the age of the engine. High-speed driving, dirt roads, frequently carrying heavy loads and stop-and-go driving all contribute to your engine needing extra lubricant more often. Additionally, older cars with high mileage need added attention as well. Our factory-trained technicians who perform oil changes are highly experienced.
At Leith Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Aberdeen, we use only genuine manufacturer parts and genuine Pennzoil Motor Oil. This benefits the life of your vehicle by increasing engine efficiency, improving fuel efficiency, offering better overall engine protection and is certified to meet the high standards of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM vehicles. All of these benefits allow your vehicle the opportunity to perform at its absolute best. During an oil change, the technician visually inspects fluids and components, checks air pressure in tires, checks brake system, steering and suspension, tops off all fluids* and changes the filter. Refer to your owner's manual for information on when to bring your vehicle in for maintenance service. It's very important to always complete scheduled service on your vehicle.
Proper brake maintenance and service is necessary in providing you peace of mind and safety on the road when driving. Our factory-certified technicians have extensive knowledge about brake services, including resurfacing of brake rotors or drums, front and rear brake service, brake pad replacement, inspection of brake system and changing brake fluid. Our factory-approved parts ensure your vehicle is operating with a brake system specifically designed for optimum performance.

Just like a house or apartment's A/C, your vehicle's unit can fail. Unlike your house or apartment, your vehicle's unit is mobile. Every pothole hit, curb bumped, gas pedal floored and collision experienced can make the sundry components to your air conditioning just a little bit weaker until one day - just another day, perhaps on a hot, humid day - they give out.
Air conditioning is also used during the winter to clear fogged windows because your defroster depends on cold air to reduce humidity. Getting your A/C in tip-top shape is essential to having clear visibility and staying safe during the cold months. Our team of experienced technicians has the manufacturer-grade tools and diagnostics to repair and optimize your air conditioning system.
Whether it's a cracked hose, deteriorated seal, leaky liquid, chipped fan or a dozen other tiny parts in your technologically advanced vehicle, A/C strength can drop off over time, sometimes dramatically, other times subtly. No one likes an escalating problem. Bring your vehicle to Leith Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM's Service Department to fix any and all problems with your air conditioning system.
Quick, answer this question: What is the heart of your car?
The engine is a good guess, but it's not the most integral component of your vehicle. Actually, the battery is what provides that crucial spark of life every time you turn your car on.

With this information in mind, it's important for you to take steps to ensure your battery's health. Our expert technicians at Leith Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Aberdeen are well equipped and highly knowledgeable.
