You may have heard us go on and on about the importance of Dodge service here at Brunswick Auto Mart, but we're really not kidding! Sticking to a routine maintenance schedule and getting the service you need when you need it is beneficial, but skipping service or putting it off can cause issues. Consequences of putting off service include:
Bigger Repair Bills
If you're keeping to a routine maintenance schedule, you're seeing our mechanics more often. If you don't delay service when you notice an issue, like strange sounds or the check engine light turning on, you're making it easier to spot mechanical problems before they become bigger issues.
If you neglect maintenance or put off service, you can end up causing additional damage to your vehicle. An inexpensive oil change becomes a pricey engine repair bill. A skipped tire rotation means you need to shell out for four new tires sooner than expected. Putting off Dodge service is bad for your car and your wallet.
A Shorter Vehicle Life
As we mentioned, putting off service can result in more damage to your vehicle. Some of this damage can be fixed, for a price, but other types of damage can end up shortening the life of your vehicle. Whether you plan to drive your new Dodge car until the wheels fall off or trade it in a few years from now, this is a problem. Proper maintenance can help you avoid it.
Safety Hazards
Putting off Dodge service can also make your vehicle less safe to operate. If there's an issue with your brakes or your lights and you ignore it, you might be more likely to get into an accident. Proper maintenance can ensure that your car is as responsive as it should be when you need it the most.
So now that you understand how important Dodge service is, be sure to schedule an appointment whenever you suspect that you need maintenance or new Dodge parts. Our Dodge mechanics in Cleveland are ready to assist you!
