Tire Rotation - Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

Tire Rotation Made Easy at Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

Tire rotation is an important service to make sure you are consistently handling on your Jeep. There are a variety of reasons why routine tire rotation is a vital component of maintaining peak overall vehicle health. Not only can you make sure that you keep your current set of tires as evenly worn as possible, but you also prevent long-term wear and tear on other areas of your Jeep such as the frame and the shocks. Schedule an appointment today with the Service Center at Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to have our knowledgeable technicians get your tires properly rotated. 

Tire Rotation Information

How Many Miles or Months Between Tire Rotation Services? –

Depending on how you prefer to measure your service timeframes, we have recommendations for mileage and months between tire rotations. Mileage-wise, it is advised to have your tires rotated between 5,000 and 7,500 miles after your last rotation. In terms of time, this roughly translates to between six and eight months depending on how much you drive. If you have a Jeep equipped with the 4WD platform, we recommend having this service done more frequently. 

Why is Tire Rotation So Important for Your Jeep? –

When our Service Center technicians rotate the tires on your Jeep, we are placing tires with more wear on them to the spots that have less and vice-versa. Depending on the drivetrain your Jeep is fitted with, each tire is subjected to varying levels of force during daily operation. This quickly causes uneven tire wear if left unchecked for a long time. Uneven tire wear leads to less handling performance and can start causing long-term damage to the frame of your Jeep. By committing to a routine tire rotation schedule, you’ll not only get to experience top handling consistency, but you’ll also get to spend more time on your current set of tires without needing to replace them.

Preparing Your Chrysler for Enjoyable Spring Driving Experiences

Spring has arrived in the Central Michigan region, and this means more enjoyable driving conditions are promised to everyone in the area. After the tougher weather that we have had to contend with during winter, your Chrysler could use some extra care to help it confidently transition to the warmer days we are starting to experience. Let Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Bay City, MI, help you prepare your vehicle for Spring at our expert Service Center. We want to make sure that when you set out on the road for your daily trips across the Great Lakes Bay Region, you and your family feel fantastic while cruising in your family Chrysler. 

How Can You Get Your Chrysler Ready for Spring in Michigan?

Have Your Vehicle’s HVAC System Serviced & Filters Replaced – 

As we transition out of winter and into spring, one thing that we all will have to start considering is the increase of pollen and other airborne irritants that can make your drive less enjoyable. As such, having fresh cabin and engine air filters will improve the overall ride you get through improved performance and fresher air quality. Take the time to have our team do a thorough HVAC service to get everything operating properly and make sure your refrigerant levels are sufficient to quickly cool you off when the temperatures start to rise. 

Change Your Tires, Especially if You Have Winter Tires Equipped –

If you are someone who has a quality set of winter tires equipped to your Chrysler throughout the season, then make sure you have a set of all-season tires to fit onto your vehicle. If you don’t own a set of winter tires and just want to make sure your current set of all-season tires is ready for the new season, let our team do a tire check. They can make sure that your tires are ready to go, including doing a tire rotation and balancing if required.

Get Your Fluids Topped Off and/or Replaced –

Fresh fluids such as engine oil, brake fluid, and transmission fluid allow you to be confident that your vehicle is performing at its peak and with top efficiency. If you haven’t had them checked since before winter, now is a great time to have our team work on your vehicle. We not only will make sure everything is properly topped off but only use brand-recommended fluids to achieve superior performance retention and vehicle longevity.

Vehicle Finance at Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Bay City, MI

Finance or Lease Your Next Vehicle with Thelen in Bay City, MI

Looking to get behind the wheel of a new Ram truck in 2024? Are you uncertain about whether or not you should finance or lease it? The team at Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Bay City is here to help you determine which option is best for you. There are merits to both financing and leasing your next truck in mid-Michigan, and we are here to explain why each method is advisable. No matter which you wind up choosing for your financial needs, we are confident that you’ll love every moment you spend behind the wheel of your new Ram truck in Central Michigan

Financing vs. Leasing Your Next Ram Vehicle in Mid-Michigan

Financing Benefits – 

If you are looking to own your next Ram for a long time after you purchase it, financing is the option for you. When you finance your truck, you own the vehicle after your final payment is complete. As such, you’re allowed to do whatever personal alterations to the truck that you’d like. This is also the option to choose if you eventually plan on passing it down to your children as their first truck after your time with it is over. Thanks to the longevity of a modern Ram, we love this reason as an option to consider purchasing your new vehicle. 

Leasing Benefits –

When compared to financing, leasing has its own array of benefits that we recommend you consider. For example, leasing offers better monthly payments on average when compared to financing. As such, this allows you to get behind the wheel of a better-equipped truck for the same price as if you were financing. Leasing also offers you the opportunity to continually drive the latest in performance and technology as you can always get behind the wheel of a new model year Ram after your current lease period expires. Finally, you also get to drive your truck during the least likely time for repairs throughout your lease.  However, the vehicle can not be altered or personalized because it is returned to the company at the end of your lease time unless you choose to purchase it at that point.
