The Importance of Routine Maintenance in Valparaiso, IN
Whether you drive a Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, or Ram vehicle, you’ll need to complete routine maintenance to ensure the model stays in optimal condition for your drives around Valparaiso. Our experienced technicians here at Grieger’s Motor Sales can help with these tasks!
What Is Routine Maintenance?
If you’re new to car ownership, you may be wondering what sort of tasks are involved with routine maintenance. In general, there are few service appointments you’ll need to make regardless of which brand and model you drive, though you should check your Owner’s Manual for the recommended timeline. For example, your vehicle will definitely need to undergo oil changes every so often, usually between 7,500 to 10,000, though this varies depending on your driving habits on Route 30 and the type of oil used. Tire rotations are another critical task needed to ensure even wear. Brake tests should also be done regularly, as the brake fluids and pads will need to be replaced eventually.
The Benefits of Routine Maintenance
So, why get routine maintenance? The short answer is that these tasks keep your vehicle up and running, as well as prolongs its lifespan. These regular appointments at our Service Center helps you to get ahead of issues before they become a costly problem later down the road. This helps you save money in the long run and ensures you can safely get to and from Rogers Lakewood Park. We would also like to point out that it helps your vehicle hold its value. So that when you go to resell it in the future, you’ll be able to get more money for it.
Warning Signs
Say, you forget to complete routine maintenance on your car. What happens then? Over time, you’ll start to notice warning signs that various aspects of your vehicle are under strain. For example, if you notice uneven tread wear on the tires, it’s time to take in your Chrysler Pacifica or Jeep Compass for a tire rotation. Rising engine temperature is another indicator that something is amiss. We recommend that you take your vehicle in for an oil change immediately if this is the case. Strange noises, smells, a change in performance are all causes for concern, and may be the result of a lack of maintenance. That’s why it’s important to schedule a service appointment in a timely manner.

My next vehicle will be at Grieger's if Phil is my sales person.
“ I recently purchased a vehicle from Grieger's in Valparaiso. I searched many vehicles from many local and some not so local dealerships. I have purchased many vehicles throughout my life, so I not only seek out the vehicle I like, but an honest and transparent sales associate as well. Phil Johnston is as such. Phil was extremely helpful, open and honest about everything the vehicle had. Including a flaw that I didn't even realize the vehicle had. He took a picture of the flaw and is setting up a time when it will be repaired. I will follow-up on that as well. Nonetheless, as of this moment, I am well pleased with the vehicle and especially Phil, who in my opinion, went well above and beyond what one would expect in a car salesman. Very professional and honest... That's a great quality in a sales associate. My next vehicle will be at Grieger's if Phil is my sales person. ”
