Every SUV or truck needs regular maintenance to keep performing at its peak. Knowing when to take your SUV or truck in for service can save you money, time, and headaches in the future. But how can you tell your SUV or truck needs a tune-up? Here are a few signs indicating it’s time to have your Jeep serviced by an experienced technician at Krystal Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT.
One of the most evident signs that your SUV or truck is due for a tune-up is that you are experiencing trouble starting the vehicle. A hard start may be due to an issue with your spark plugs, fuel injector, air filter, or battery. When this occurs, you must take your SUV or truck to our service center immediately.
Stalling occurs when the engine suddenly stops running, causing the vehicle to come to a halt. It is normal to experience stalling once in a while if you are just learning how to drive or have a manual transmission. But if you are an experienced driver or own an automatic transmission, stalling can indicate something is wrong with your SUV or truck.
Did you hear any weird noises when driving? If yes, your SUV or truck may need a tune-up. Unusual noises can be a sign of a mechanical problem. For instance, a squealing noise is often due to worn-out brake pads or belts, while a chugging noise can indicate a flawed exhaust system. So, having your SUV or truck serviced ASAP is good if you hear an unfamiliar noise while driving.
If you notice you are spending more at the gas station, it may be time to take your SUV or truck in for a tune-up. Several issues can decrease your vehicle’s fuel economy, such as clogged fuel filters, low transmission fluid, bad wheel alignment, etc. A tune-up can help determine the root cause of the problem, allowing you to get more miles out of every gallon.
Is your vehicle taking longer to react when you step on the accelerator? Do you find it difficult to maintain speed or accelerate when climbing uphill? Your SUV or truck may be due for a tune-up. Poor acceleration can indicate something wrong with the engine, transmission, ignition, or fuel system.
Most new SUVs and trucks have a check engine light that comes on when there’s a problem with the engine or emission system. If the check engine light is on, take your SUV or truck to a repair shop for a thorough check-up and service.
