Here are the parts that need checking:
Replacing belts and hoses on a regular basis helps to avoid a breakdown or engine damage. Replacing the fuel filter will make sure that your engine is running properly and will maximize your fuel economy.
Check the air pressure for all of your tires. That includes the spare. If the pressure is off, that can lead to premature ware. That, in turn, leads to decreasing your fuel mileage.
Brakes are used frequently throughout a single day. Every time the brakes are applied, a thin layer of the pad disintegrates. Make sure you inspect and replace those pads to ensure proper performance.
Make sure your engine oil level is checked often and changed and refilled on a regular basis. If the oil is dirty or too low, you can experience engine problems. Not something you want happening to you in New York summers.
Replacing a dirty filter will help protect your engine from airborne contaminants. The car will get better air flow. That helps decrease on fuel consumption.
Dirty fluids have an impact on the performance of your vehicle and can lead to breakdowns. Make sure you’re checking that everything is filled to the proper levels and on a regular interval.
It’s been a rough winter and that meant some rough cold-morning starts. Make sure there’s no corroded terminals or cracks on the case. It’s never fun to have a battery fail in the middle of the city.
A rough winter also hurts the city streets, filling them with numerous pot-holes. Make sure you have a smoother ride by seeing if those bumps caused any damage.
Spring brings with it plenty of storms. Don’t get caught in the rain with broken wipers. You never want to have to fight to see through a downpour.
Always make sure your lights are in proper working order to avoid two things, accidents and the cops pulling you over for a citation.
Bring your vehicle into our service department and we’ll give it the look over to ensure it’s ready to face the on-coming weather. Best to get it out of the way before your vehicle develops problems on a road-side and your great vacation out of state has turned into a few hours waiting for the tow truck.

It is an odd thing to have a car story that revolves around an accident, but Fiat-Chrysler featured a story on their blog that highlights a survivor’s story of a Jeep Wrangler saving someone’s live in an accident.
Safety in always a major talking point of every vehicle. What isn’t talked about as often is how those safety features save people’s lives in real-world accidents. Case in point is the case of Todd Garrison and his son Elijah in Cincinnati. Todd Garrison is a Jeep fan and insisted that his son use a 2003 Jeep Wrangler. Turns out, it was one of the best decisions he could make for his son.
“Elijah was driving to work Saturday morning [on Dec.5] when his (passenger) side tire got off the road and he over corrected. When his driver side tire hit the grass, it struck a tree stump, causing his passenger side bumper to dig into the ground. That flipped him over, twisting to the passenger side rear bumper and exploded the hard top.”
“His Wrangler then flipped over again over the passenger side and windshield portion of the roll cage where it went airborne. It landed on all four tires facing the opposite direction that he was traveling in someone’s driveway.”
Even with that vicious description, the incredible thing is that Elijah emerged from the crash with only a mild concussion. Judging from the photo included in the blog, it’s incredible to see that he was able to walk away. As the title says, it’s unbelievable he was alright. Something to bear in mind when shopping just how important safety is. And that it is a good selling point for a Jeep.

The 2014 Chrysler 300 has earned a reason to be excited. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rating has been given and the 300 earned top marks. The 2014 Chrysler 300 has earned a five-star overall safety rating.
This five-star rating is for the front-wheel and all-wheel drive versions of the 300. The rating is for the test results for front and side impact tests and rollover crash tests. For the front and side tests, the 300 received five stars and four stars for the rollover crash test.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety had already rated the 2014 Chrysler 300, giving the sedan “good” ratings in all of their tests.
Safety is always a major concern for auto makers and the 2014 Chrysler 300 is no slacker in this department as the tests already have verified. This is thanks to each 300 being equipped with front multistage airbags that deploy with the appropriate force based on the impact. For the protection of everyone in the sedan, the 300 also is equipped with side-curtain airbags as well as a driver inflatable knee blocker. The 300 also achieves a high level of safety by coming with an available all-wheel drive system to help maintain control in nearly all conditions.

A custom 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara, upgraded with Mopar parts, will be given away to a lucky winner in a special fundraising sweepstakes to benefit the March of Dimes.
The Wrangler was donated by a Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership in suburban Chicago, and proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit an Illinois chapter of the charity. Some of the parts added for the custom upgrade include front and rear off-road bumpers, rock rails, steel body corner guards, interior accents using the March of Dimes’ signature color purple, and much more.
Back in February, the Mopar customized Jeep Wrangler was featured at the Chicago Auto Show, right after the sweepstakes opened to the public. The sweepstakes will officially close at 11:59:59 PM PT on May 1, 2014, so there is still over a week to get an entry in for the sweepstakes. For the full rules of the eBay Giving Works March of Dimes Sweepstakes, click here.
The limited-edition of the Mopar 2014 Dodge Challenger has sold out in less than 24 hours after going on sale.
Only 100 vehicles were available for purchase, making the Mopar 2014 Dodge Challenger the rarest limited-production Challenger ever offered by Dodge. The lucky buyers who managed to snatch up one of the Challengers will be receiving a 2014 Dodge Challenger that has already been given a full Mopar upgrade, including a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine as well as a choice of two exterior color options and three Mopar Blue stripe options. A little more than half of the Mopar Challengers ordered came with the Pitch Black paint while the rest chose Bright White.
Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, spoke about the limited-edition Challenger and the winning combination of Mopar and popular Dodge vehicles, stating, “The very high demand for the Mopar ’14 Challenger spotlights the success of our limited-edition Mopar-modified vehicles, and also clearly demonstrates the passion our customers have for personalizing their rides. Whether during or after the ordering process, Mopar is there to help put a personal touch on customers’ rides.”
Buyers who missed their chance at the Mopar 2014 Challenger can still purchase a 2014 Dodge Challenger and upgrade it with Mopar parts and accessories, but those Challengers will not come directly from the factory with the upgrades already in place.

Dodge was in Irvine, California last weekend for the LX Spring Fest 9, showing off the LX, LC, and LD platforms.
In a video for Dodge’s YouTube channel, Steve Magnante gave a tour of the Dodge models and explained the distinction of LX. Rear-wheel drive vehicles from the 2005 model year were called the LX cars. The Dodge Charger also has rear-wheel drive, but it is different enough to earn its own distinction as part of the LD series. The Dodge Challenger R/T is a two-door vehicle and is four-inches shorter than the other four-door counterparts, so it is distinguished as an LC series.
All of these vehicles come with the HEMI engine and rear-wheel drive, tying them all together under the Dodge brand and as varieties on a platform.
Check out the full video explanation below.

Mopar is marking the 50th anniversary of the 426 HEMI racing engine with a photo shoot with Pro Stock drivers Jeg Coughlin Jr., Allen Johnson, the new Dodge Dart, and an elephant.
For year, the nickname for the 426 HEMI has been “The Elephant.” It was given this nickname for three reasons. First, it is a large engine. At the time the 426 HEMI was first produced, it was the largest racing engine available and could only be used in bigger vehicles.
Second, it is a powerful engine. At the 1964 Daytona 500, these engines were producing around 750 horsepower, and Jeg Coughlin Jr. and Allen Johnson’s NHRA Pro Stock cars can get approximately 1,500 horsepower.
Third, the 426 HEMI is a hefty engine, weighing up to 700 pounds. It didn’t earn the nickname of “The Elephant” for being dainty.
For the photo shoot, Mopar went to Two Tails Ranch, a safe haven for a variety of animals including four Asian elephants. An elephant named Luke was selected for the photo shoot and gave the photographer plenty of great poses.
