​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Your RAM is sturdy, tough, and built to last. It’s also packed full of high-tech equipment to make driving safer, easier, and more enjoyable. All that said, keeping your RAM working at its best requires regular services. As your RAM dealer, we want to tell you more about some of the types of RAM service we can provide for your vehicle.

Brake Service

The brakes on your RAM are designed to bring your wheels to a stop in seconds. Over time, parts can wear out or become damaged. In addition, components like the brake fluid and brake pads need to be regularly replaced so your brakes will continue to work effectively.

In a brake service, our highly trained technicians thoroughly check your braking system. We check the quality of the brake fluid and then replace it to ensure that it always generates the necessary hydraulic power. The calipers, rotors, and all other components are also tested to confirm they’re working correctly. Getting a brake service with us gives you peace of mind that your brakes are in perfect working condition.

Oil Changes

Oil is vital for your engine, as it lubricates all the components. This lubrication protects moving components against friction damage and allows them to move smoothly. As the oil passes through your engine, it has a cooling effect and helps to reduce the overall engine temperature. In addition, additives in modern oils protect against rust and break down engine deposits.

Engine oil is gradually consumed as it circulates through your engine, and it also ages. Older oil is less effective at preventing friction damage or engine blockages. During an oil change, we test the oil and then drain it. If the oil is in poor condition, traces of it may remain behind. We will fix this by flushing your engine to remove the old oil. We then check the sump seal is in good condition, and we refill your oil.

Tire Rotations

A regular tire rotation schedule saves you time and money. Your tires slowly were down due to friction with the surface, and they also suffer wear and tear from climatic conditions and balance or alignment issues. In addition, a tire suffers increased wear on certain sections depending on its position on your car. Repeated damage to the same section will eventually cause a leak or blowout.

In a tire rotation, we remove your tires and shift them to different positions. The exact positions they move to are determined by your vehicle’s drivetrain. Moving your tires spreads the wear equally, so your tires will wear down at a relatively even rate. Reducing wear damage prevents early tire replacement, which saves you money.

We have many other types of services available. To find out more, call our service center today at Snethkamp CDJR in Redford, MI.
