In Alamogordo, we’re used to desert living. We’re sitting comfortably on the northern edge of the Chihuahuan Desert with White Sands right next door. While the quality vehicles we sell from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram can handle what our climate dishes out, the CDJR experts in our service department have some tips to keep your favorite vehicle in top shape for years to come. more Tires The higher average temperatures during the summer months in Alamogordo can impact your tire pressure. Lots of heat can cause a loss of pressure, which will lead to a degradation of your vehicle’s handling, and, perhaps even more importantly, hurt your fuel economy. Improperly inflated tires will cost you more at the pump, and that’s a big deal these days. Fluids Make sure your fluids are topped off. Coolant is key, of course, to keeping your engine humming in hot weather, but others are just as important. Oil keeps your engine lubricated and that reduces heat build-up and keeps your engine running longer, which is especially important in the Alamogordo heat. We can recommend the right oil to maximize your engine’s performance in hotter temperatures. Filters No doubt about it, you’re familiar with dust here in Alamogordo. Well, dust can be an even bigger issue when you’re commuting up and down 54 every day. Air filters help keep your engine running cleanly and should be checked regularly to ensure they’re in good working order. Our service department can check and replace your filters with CDJR-approved parts if they need to be. Battery Higher average temperatures can shorten the life of any battery, so regular checks are recommended, particularly in Alamogordo’s extended summer months. The Casa CDJR service department can test your battery to ensure it’s in great shape for the road ahead. If it needs to be replaced, we can handle it. For all your vehicle maintenance and repair needs in Alamogordo, visit us at Casa Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. It’s easy to schedule a pre-summer check-up appointment online. Casa CDJR is your destination in Alamogordo and all over Otero County for a new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram, as well as a great selection of used cars!
