Time for New Tires? Visit Your Chrysler Dealer

Rotating your Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Charger, Jeep Cherokee, or RAM tires involves switching the front and rear tires to different positions. When you get a regular tire rotation at your Chrysler dealer, it will help maintain even weight distribution and minimize uneven tread wear across all four tires, extending the life of your tires and saving you money. more Irregular Wear on a Front Tire If one side of your front tire has less tread than the other, it's a sign of irregular wear. Don't ignore irregular wear. A timely rotation can help to prevent severe wear. However, if the wear is already severe, replacing the tire is best. Uneven Wear Between Front Tires If you notice that the wear of your vehicle's front tires is uneven, with one tire being more worn than the other, ask your technician to swap your tires. If the wear is extreme, having your technician inspect the tire is highly recommended to see if a replacement is necessary to ensure your safety on the road. Uneven Wear Between Front and Rear Tires Another sign that your tires need switching is when the front tires are wearing down faster or seem more worn than the rear tires on your vehicle. Ask your technician to swap the front and rear tires as soon as possible to ensure all four tires wear more evenly. Vibrations Through the Steering Wheel Feeling vibrations through your steering wheel when driving at speeds over 45 miles an hour could be a sign of uneven tread wear. Ask your technician to switch your vehicle's tires, but to be safe, get them balanced as well. Loss of Air Pressure If one tire loses air slowly yet faster than the others, it could mean it bears more of your vehicle's weight than the other tires. In this case, asking your technician to take a closer look, rotate, and balance your tires would be a good idea to prevent tire damage. Recommended Rotation Intervals To avoid uneven tread wear and prolong the life of your tires, rotate them regularly. Typically, tires are repositioned 5,000 to 8,000 miles or when you take your vehicle for an oil change. However, different models have their own rotation guidelines based on time or mileage. Check your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended rotation intervals, or speak to your technician for more information.Pay attention to the warning signs to avoid further damage to your tires that could result in you having to replace the entire set. Regularly swapping your tires will improve your vehicle's performance with the added advantage of saving you money. Stop at Thornton Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today, and the certified technicians will rotate your vehicle's tires to ensure even tread wear, longer tire life, and safety on the road.

When you explore car financing at your Chrysler dealer, you'll discover a process that can streamline your journey towards owning a vehicle. Financing is a serious step, so let's review some of the concrete reasons to consider going the dealer route. more 1. Tailored Financial Solutions When you step into a dealership, you're not just another number. A bank is only concerned about the loan; a dealership actually wants to get you into a car, and their financing professionals understand each person has a financial situation and work diligently to create tailored solutions. Our goal is to present options that fit into your budget and lifestyle. 2. Convenience Imagine taking a test drive, falling in love with a car, and handling your financing—all at the same location. It's not only practical but also time-efficient. Instead of juggling your limited free time between lenders and the dealership, everything is consolidated, making your experience smooth and hassle-free. 3. Competitive Rates Dealerships have robust relationships with various financial institutions, and, as a result, you can access competitive interest rates that might be challenging to find elsewhere. Plus, dealers regularly offer promotional financing rates, especially during special sale events. Again, our goal is to get you into a car, not make money off your loan, as is the case with a financial institution. 4. Flexibility Maybe you're considering a longer-term loan to reduce monthly payments, or perhaps you're inclined towards a shorter term, so you can become debt-free faster. Whatever your preference, we offer the flexibility you need to meet your goals. 5. Genuine Product Knowledge Who better to explain the features of your chosen car and align it with a financial plan that works for you than those who live and breathe Chrysler vehicles? Our representatives are well-versed in every model, ensuring you're not just making a financial decision, but also one rooted in genuine appreciation for a vehicle's value and how it's going to meet your specific needs. 6. Trade-in Opportunities At your dealer, we offer trade-in options. This means you can use the value of your current car as a down payment for the new one, effectively managing costs and eliminating all the hassle and risk of selling your vehicle independently. From personalized solutions and competitive rates to unmatched product knowledge and trade-in opportunities, the advantages all work for you. If you're ready to get your next Chrysler, contact our financing department at Thornton Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram right away. We've got a car, and a ​loan, that will work for you.
