External Tire Damage

Clear signs of damage to tires should never be ignored. While inspecting your tires, always check for cuts, gashes, embedded objects, or excessive cracks in the sidewalls. Any of these problems can make a tire unsafe and should be brought to the attention of a trusted technician. 

Bulges and blusters are another sign of potentially significant damage. A bulge on the outer layer of rubber often means that internal layers of rubber have ruptured or detached. This kind of internal damage almost always makes a tire dangerous to use.

New vehicle battery replacement and assessment

A healthy battery is essential for your Chrysler, as it provides the initial electrical charge that starts your engine. As time passes, your battery will wear out and you’ll need a replacement. As your Chrysler dealer, we’d like you to know some signs that it’s time to visit us for a new car battery.

Swollen Battery

Most car batteries are rectangular, but square ones are also available. If you pop the hood and your battery looks swollen or distorted, you have a battery problem. The swelling is due to a buildup of hydrogen gas inside the case. Hydrogen gas​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ is a byproduct of the battery’s chemical processes, and it forms as the sulfuric acid in the battery breaks down. 
 
The swelling can also be caused by very hot or cold conditions. Extreme temperatures will cause the battery chemicals to expand. These chemicals can’t escape the battery, so internal pressure will distort the battery case. A distorted battery can’t be repaired, and its condition will quickly worsen. We can quickly replace a swollen battery with a new one.
