Technician changing oil at a RAM service appointment

Ohio winters are hard on trucks. Salt, slush, and subzero temperatures take a toll on the components your RAM truck relies on most, and spring is the perfect time to address that wear with a RAM service appointment before it becomes a bigger problem. Learn what to expect and what to ask about with Brunswick Auto Mart.

Oil and Filter Change

If you've been pushing through a heavy winter with frequent short trips or cold starts, your oil has been working overtime. An oil and filter change clears out contaminants and gives your engine clean lubrication heading into warmer months. Ask your service advisor which oil type is recommended for your specific engine, whether that's the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 or the 3.0-liter Hurricane™ twin-turbo inline-six.

Brake and Suspension Inspection

Winter driving means more braking on wet and icy surfaces, and Ohio's pothole season follows close behind. Ask our technicians to inspect your brake pads, rotors, calipers, and fluid levels, along with your front suspension, tie rod ends, and steering linkage. These components take a beating during cold months, and catching worn parts early keeps your stopping power and ride quality where they should be.

Tire Rotation and Alignment Check

Uneven tire wear is one of the first signs that your alignment shifted over the winter. Stop in for a rotation and a computerized alignment check at the same appointment. Proper alignment extends tire life, improves handling, and keeps your RAM truck tracking straight whether you're hauling a trailer or commuting.

Schedule Your Spring RAM Service Appointment

A thorough spring visit covers the essentials that keep your RAM truck capable and dependable for the work ahead. The earlier you address winter wear, the less it costs you down the road. Contact the service team at Brunswick Auto Mart to book your RAM service appointment today.
