​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Your battery's most important task is to supply the power to start your engine. Any battery will wear out over time and need to be replaced. A battery failure can often seem to appear out of nowhere. Fortunately, there are always signs that something is going wrong, and it's time to visit your Chrysler dealer for a new car battery. These are a few signs you may need a battery replacement fairly soon. Signs You Need a New Car Battery From Your Chrysler Dealer Corroded Terminals The positive and negative terminals on the battery are its connection points to the electrical system. The battery connectors are tightly clamped onto the terminals, and electricity passes through them into and out of the battery. The connectors must be attached securely, as electricity can't pass through a gap. Corrosion is more common on older batteries, and it takes the form of a white, green, or gray salt-like substance that collects around the terminals. It will slowly eat through the terminals and eventually destroy them. Before this happens, the corrosion will cause a variety of battery issues, as its presence blocks the flow of electricity into and out of the battery. Corrosion can't be repaired, but we can install a new battery for you. Starting Difficulties As a battery gets older, its ability to recharge becomes more difficult. The battery's reduced storage capacity will become a problem, as it supplies the power to crank and start your engine. Cranking requires a fixed amount of electricity, and eventually, the battery can't store enough power to start the engine. In this situation, you'll hear your engine struggling to crank. A weak alternator can cause starting problems. The electricity used by the battery is replenished by the alternator, which is a mini electrical generator in your engine. The alternator can become worn or damaged, which reduces its ability to recharge the battery. Our technicians will need to check your battery and the alternator to find and fix the cause of this problem. Old Battery Time affects all engine components, and they will wear out. The battery has a short lifespan of three to five years, on average. Its life can be further reduced by extreme weather or other engine issues. Its short life is due to the way a battery stores electricity. The chemicals inside the battery that enable it to store and supply electricity slowly break down and weaken the battery. Our technicians will connect your battery to our battery tester. This machine can identify any weaknesses in the battery and estimate its potential remaining life. We have stock of the correct battery for your car, so we can easily replace the battery if necessary. If you experience any of these signs of trouble, visit us right away at Peppers CDJR of Paris, TN.

There is nothing quite like driving a new, shiny Chrysler off the dealer's lot and reveling in that new car smell. But before you get there, you have to deal with the car financing process. Getting financing from your Chrysler dealer is a simple and seamless process that offers numerous benefits over other financing options. 5 Benefits of Getting Car Financing at Your Chrysler Dealer 1. Fast and Hassle-Free Financing The biggest frustration with bank financing is the lengthy approval process that keeps you from driving your new Chrysler home. Working directly with the dealership streamlines the entire application and approval process. Once you fill out an application, the dealer will submit it to their network of lenders. Thanks to the dealer's relationships with lenders, you can get a response within hours or a few days of applying for financing. The dealer's team handles all the paperwork, leaving you with ample time to shop around and test-drive the latest Chrysler models. 2. Negotiate the Best Terms for Your Budget Unlike banks, dealers allow you to negotiate the best terms for your needs and budget. You can adjust the loan terms up to 72 or even 84 months to lower the monthly payments. A longer term also allows you to choose a better Chrysler, like a higher trim or custom features, without worrying about huge monthly payments. You also have complete control over the down payment. You can put down more money or trade in your current car to reduce the loan amount. The dealer's team will facilitate the trade-in process and channel the money toward your new car purchase. 3. Receive Better Interest Rates Dealer financing allows you to access multiple offers in one place. When lenders know their offers are being compared side-by-side, they tend to put their best rates forward to earn business. This directly benefits you when reviewing your options at the dealership. You get to choose the lowest interest rate from the available offers and negotiate further for an even better rate. 4. Access Exclusive Discounts and Promotions Dealers work directly with Chrysler to offer exclusive discounts, cash-back offers, promotional interest rates, and other incentives. These offers are only available if you get financing through the dealer. For example, you may qualify for zero down payment or 0% APR financing for the first year. These incentives can generate substantial interest savings over the life of the loan. 5. Get Approved With Credit Challenges Unlike bank financing, dealership financing isn't preserved for buyers with excellent credit. Dealers work closely with lenders who are willing to overlook credit challenges when reviewing an application. Dealerships also offer in-house financing to buyers who have poor credit and are willing to make timely payments to improve their credit rating. Instead of dreading the vehicle financing process, take advantage of these benefits available at your local dealership. Stop by Peppers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM to explore our vehicle inventory and discuss financing with our team.

A tire rotation involves switching your Chrysler 300 or Pacifica tires to different positions to ensure all four tires wear evenly. With regular rotations from the certified technicians at your Chrysler dealer, you will enjoy significant benefits, including increased performance, safety, longer tire life, and keeping more of your hard-earned money in your pocket. 6 Benefits of Getting a Tire Rotation for Your Chrysler From Your Chrysler Dealer 1. Your Tires Will Wear Evenly and Last Longer The tires on the front of a front-wheel drive car tend to wear faster than the rear axle tires. To ensure even wear, which will extend the lifespan of your tires, switch them to different positions regularly. Swapping tires every six months while getting an oil change will maximize the lifespan of your current set. 2. You'll Save Money on Tires You know how much tires cost, and to save money, ask your Chrysler technician to perform regular rotations. When your tires wear evenly, they last longer, and you won't have to replace them as often, saving you a lot of money in the long run. 3. You'll Improve Your Car's Gas Mileage One of the top benefits of regular rotations is improved fuel economy. Unevenly worn tires increase rolling resistance, forcing your engine to work harder, which causes it to burn more fuel. Regularly swapping your tires will reduce rolling resistance and friction, causing you to spend less on gas. 4. You'll Increase Your Car's Handling Performance Uneven and worn tires can impact your car's handling performance. Regular rotations ensure proper handling and increase traction, even in harsh weather. Ask your Chrysler technician to rotate your tires during every oil change to maintain complete control over your vehicle, regardless of the weather conditions. 5. You'll Be Safer on the Road Uneven and worn-out tires reduce the contact between the tire and the road, leading to decreased grip, instability, and a higher risk of blowouts and loss of control. However, regular rotations will enhance your vehicle's performance, and you'll experience improved braking and cornering ability, causing you to be safer behind the wheel. 6. You'll Enjoy a Smoother Ride Your Chrysler is built to provide a comfortable and smooth ride. However, when your tires are worn unevenly, it could cause vibrations that you will feel through your steering wheel. Eventually, the vibrations will affect the wheel alignment and even damage parts. Regular rotations will limit vibrations and improve your driving experience, ensuring that your Chrysler is always a pleasure to drive. Regular rotations at your dealer come with a whole lot of great benefits, from enhanced performance to safety, and even provide significant savings on gas and tires. Swing by Peppers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM today and ask for a rotation to get the most out of your tires and the best out of every mile.

Your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM is a precision machine, where every piece plays its role. Like all machines, though, wear and tear can compromise performance, especially when it comes to the transmission, which is one of the hardest working and most fundamental components. Here are a few signs that you need to head to your Chrysler dealer for a transmission repair. 5 Signs Your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or RAM Needs a Transmission Repair from Your Chrysler Dealer Unusual Noises While in Neutral A well-functioning transmission will be relatively quiet, especially when in neutral. When problems start arising, one of the first indicators can be an array of noises. These aren't just the everyday sounds your car makes. Grinding sounds might suggest problems with the transmission's gears. Consistent humming or whirring noises can indicate bearing issues or even problems with worn-out parts within the transmission. Delay or Hesitation When Shifting When you're out on the road, the last thing you want is a vehicle that refuses to obey your commands promptly. Both manual and automatic transmissions should shift gears smoothly and without delay. But when internal components start wearing out or when there's a miscommunication between your vehicle's computer and the transmission, you might experience hesitations or an outright refusals to shift. Warning Lights and Error Messages Modern vehicles are smart, and they're equipped with an array of sensors to monitor for irregularities and failures. If your dashboard lights up with a transmission warning, or if you receive an error message, it's a clear call for immediate attention. Fluid Leaks and Discoloration The lifeblood of your transmission is the fluid, which ensures everything runs smoothly and coolly. Regularly checking underneath your vehicle for any leaks is a good habit, but beyond that, occasionally taking a closer look at the fluid itself will help. A healthy transmission fluid has a distinctive reddish tint. Dark fluid can indicate contamination, and a burnt smell from the fluid is a red flag signalling that the fluid isn't performing its cooling and lubricating functions optimally. Unexpected Gear Changes Imagine cruising down the highway, and suddenly your vehicle decides to change gears on its own. Not only is this jarring, but it's also a considerable safety risk. Gears "slipping" or the transmission shifting without your input means you have a malfunction that needs immediate addressing. By being observant and recognizing these signs of transmission distress, you can ensure your vehicle lives a long life and performs the way it should the whole time. If any of the above symptoms seem familiar to you, it's time to act. Contact the professionals at our Peppers Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM service center to assess and address your vehicle's needs.
