For the majority of the year, driving conditions are pretty tepid. But the true test of your integrity as a car owner, and the quality of your car comes during the winter months. This is when you can truly get punished for not taking care of your car unless you take care of the necessary winter car prep. Between harsh winter weather and the toll the cold, ice, snow, and salt can take, you really have to step up your winter car care game to get your vehicle winter ready. 

Winter Car Care Checklist

We don’t want to see you or your car on the side of the road this winter season. The best way to avoid any issues is to make sure your car is ready to take on whatever the next few months have in store. So before things get really rough, here are 5 simple winter car care tips that will help you and your car be ready for the colder months ahead. 

Juice Up Your Battery

Having to wait for a jump in the middle of the cold and possibly snow is up there with the worst things to happen in winter. If you don’t check your battery before the cold weather sets in, you’re really taking a gamble. The extreme cold that we tend to see can make it difficult for your battery to operate. And the last thing you want is to come back to your car left in a cold parking lot and find it dead leaving you with no heat. The best advice you’ll get today is to get a volt test on your battery now. This will tell you what the health of your battery looks like and whether or not you should invest in a new battery. 

Maintain Your Tires

When it comes to driving in winter, the quality of your tires is paramount. But it’s not just about what kind of tires you have but keeping an eye on your tire pressure as well. Investing in winter tires or all-season tires is a great idea and one we highly recommend. You want something that you can rely on for snow, rain, mud, and anything else you may encounter this year. However, something that gets overlooked often is tire pressure. As the air gets colder, tire pressure can drop up to one pound per square inch with every 10-degree drop. Keep an eye on your tire pressure and make sure you fill them if they are looking low. 

Check Your Fluids

Every fluid in your car is going to help it perform the best it can during the colder months. For this reason, it’s very important that all of your fluid levels are good and fresh. Change your oil and filters if it’s coming near time, flush and refill your coolant/antifreeze, and fill your windshield wiper fluid. Doing all of these now will ensure that your car works the way it should even when temperatures drop. 

Wash Your Car

This may seem like a weird thing to do, but it’s surprisingly important. However, this is something that you should do throughout the winter months. As more snow hits the roads, the county will salt those roads in an effort to keep them as clear as possible. But that salt will also end up on your car, especially all over your undercarriage. While the salt really helps the roads, it can wreak havoc on your car and cause rust. That is unless you give it a good wash after a big snow. Both an automatic and manual wash will work, as long as you can hit your undercarriage well. 

Pack an Emergency Kit

Everything is all fun and games until your car dies in the middle of a snowstorm. Whether you slid on ice or something happened with your engine, or maybe even ran out of gas, having an emergency kit may just save your life. Depending on the weather and where you are, you definitely need to be prepared for anything. Here are some things you should have packed: 

• First-aid kit
• Jumper cables
• Snow brush and ice scraper
• Flares
• Multi-tool with a knife
• Portable charger
• Air pump
• Shovel
• Cat litter or sand
• Candle and lighter
• Thermal blanket
• Snacks and water

Stay Safe Out There

Winter can be a crazy time, but making your vehicle winter ready ahead of time can go a long way. These are just a couple of things you can do, but there’s always more. Do your research and talk with our fantastic service technicians about what you should have done before the colder months are on top of us. Be smart and stay safe this holiday season!

Fall is finally here! The weather’s getting cooler, leaves are changing color, all signs that winter is not far behind. And while we may not be able to get you mentally ready for the change of the seasons, we can certainly help you prepare your car for fall and winter! Welcome to Fall Car Care Month at Rhythm Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat!

The Quintessential Fall Car Care Month Checklist

Fall is the perfect time to start checking up on your car. The weather isn’t entirely too cold yet, the Holidays are still a ways off, and you aren’t facing any severe weather conditions. The autumn season is prime for getting out in the garage or bringing your car to our service centers to get everything checked out before the real test of your car’s performance comes. 

Now you may be asking yourself, why is it important to check up on your car before winter? Well, dealing with car problems when it’s cold out is just not a great time. And we want you to always have a good time driving your Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat. And while these tips may seem like common sense, you’d be surprised just how often these can fly under the radar and end up causing much more serious problems down the line. 

15 Tips to Prepare Your Car For Winter

• Checking and Refilling Fluids: All of your fluids play a crucial role in keeping your Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat performing at its absolute best, and during the cooler months you don’t need anything less. Taking a look at your oil, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and transmission fluid and refilling or changing any needed is a great way to prepare your car for the winter months ahead. Also, checking your antifreeze/coolant is an absolute must, as that will keep your engine from getting too cold should the temps drop.  

• Change the Oil and Filters: While we’re on the topic of fluids, your oil is a big one that you should be up to date on. Ignoring an oil change, especially in winter is not a great idea. Old oil in your system greatly increases the risk of your engine overheating, severely damaging the engine. Check when your Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat is due for its next oil change and make sure you get the filters changed as well. That way your brand-new oil stays new for as long as possible! 

• Test the Heating/HVAC: Yes, your AC system may seem like an afterthought when it comes to having to prepare your car for winter and Fall car care. However, your HVAC is also responsible for filtering the air, dehumidifying your windshield, and heating your car. So making sure everything there is in working order before the weather gets too cold is probably a good idea. 

• Tighten Your Hoses: Making sure your antifreeze and fluids are all topped off is great, but it won’t do you any good if it can’t reach your engine. If your hoses have any leaks or breaks, there’s a good chance you’ll overheat your engine when the cold weather hits and your engine has to work overtime to keep it warm. Be sure to give your hoses a good look over and tighten any that seem loose. 

• Look at Your Belts: This actually goes hand in hand with your hoses. Hot summer months can severely degrade the belts in your engine. When checking under the hood, you should look for any signs of excessive wear, fraying, cracks, or looseness. If you do notice any of these, bring your Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat over to Rhythm Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat and we’ll set you up with a new belt. 

• Test Your Exhaust: Checking your exhaust system as part of your fall car care checklist could actually save your life. If there’s a leak in your exhaust, carbon monoxide could seep into your car. Not only that, but a damaged exhaust system can also result in lower mileage. Keep on the lookout for weird noises, smells, a vibrating gas pedal, or a rumble when your car is sitting still. All are signs that your exhaust system is damaged. Our Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat-certified technicians will look for rust, holes, leaks, and other damage that may be present during our inspection. 

• Check Your Brakes: You want to be able to stop when you need to stop right? Especially if the weather is giving you trouble, you don’t want your brakes to be something else to worry about. Bring your Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat over to Rhythm Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat and our service team will make sure your brake system is in good working order. Replacing your brake pads and rotors is an essential part of your Fall car care and winter prep. 

• Inspect All 4 Tires: The quality of your tires is just as important as that of your brakes. If your tires are worn down, they’re not going to do you much good in snow or rain. Make sure to not only check the tread but also their pressure. Tires lose pressure when the temperature drops and changing a flat in 30-degree weather isn’t fun. If you really want to future-proof yourself, getting a good set of snow tires or all-season tires will be greatly beneficial. 

• Pay Attention to Steering and Suspension: You want to be in complete control of your Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat in the event of bad weather. Making sure your power steering and suspension are up to par is the best way to remain in control at all times. If you’re worried, our team can take a look at your shock absorbers, struts, and chassis to see if anything needs adjusting or replacing.

• Test The Battery: Bering able to rely on your battery during the winter months can be a huge weight off your shoulders. So be sure to check the charge and quality of your current battery. If it’s been more than three years, it may be time to replace the battery completely. Visit our service center and we’ll be able to set you up with a brand-new battery just in time for Winter. 

• Replace Your Wipers: Did you know that the quality of your windshield wipers actually factors into your yearly inspection? That’s because if your wipers are leaving heavy streaks on your windshield, you will not have very good visibility. And visibility is essential in any type of winter weather.

• Wash Your Car: This may definitely seem unnecessary, but hear us out for a second. Cleaning your car of all the summer mildew and dirt can help prepare it for what’s coming. Waxing your car can also protect it from snow, ice, and salt. Furthermore, it’s a good idea to regularly clean your car after it snows. Icemelt and salt can accumulate and erode certain components of your undercarriage if left on for extended periods of time. While not as immediately important as other tips on your Fall car care list, it won’t hurt. 

• Clean Your Headlights: Between dead bulbs and cloudy headlight covers, there’s enough to check to warrant this being on your Fall car care list. Your headlights do two things out on the road. They help you see what’s in front of you, and they help other drivers see you. Check your bulbs and clean your headlight covers and ensure both of these functions are unimpeded. 

• Pack Roadside Kit: If the unfortunate happens and you have car issues or slide on ice or snow, having a pack of supplies to fall back on is a great idea. Some things that should be in your roadside kit include an ice scraper, jumper cables, a flashlight, blankets, bottled water, non-perishable food, and a first aid kit. You can never be too careful. 

• Get AAA/Roadside Assistance: No Fall car care list would be complete without roadside assistance. These guys can be literal life savers and save you from having to sit out in the cold waiting on a tow company and praying that they’re open. Companies like AAA offer 24/7 support and assistance so they’re always there when you need them. 

Stay On Top of Your Fall Car Care

It may seem like a lot to keep track of, but if you follow this Fall car care checklist, you’ll be more than prepared for when the colder months roll around. And if there’s anything you need to replace or you can’t check out yourself, you can always make Rhythm Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat a part of your winter car prep by scheduling an appointment with our service center in Nashville. Make sure you prepare your car for winter right with Rhythm Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat!

Getting out to Nashville can be great, but dealing with the parking situation is another beast entirely. Garages and parking lots are almost impossible to find space in, not to mention expensive, which leaves street parking as the most logical choice. 

As a Nashville resident, you know that parking downtown can be hard to come by, especially on weekends. With street parking as one of only a few options available to you, it’s simply an unavoidable part of your life behind the wheel. So, if you have to park on the street, you may as well stay safe doing it. Below are some basic things every Rhythm driver can do to ensure the safety of their vehicle when parking on the street.

Life Hacks For Safe Street Parking in Nashville

Keeping your car safe is one thing, but actually parking it is another. How comfortable are you with parallel parking? More importantly, can you parallel park? Because if the answer to either of these questions is no, you may want to just pony up the twenty-or-so bucks required to gain access to an oversaturated parking garage. However, if you have the mettle to take on the tall task of parallel parking on a busy city street, keep reading. Whether it’s a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, or Fiat, parallel parking is a must. 

Easy Hacks for Safe Parking!

• Read the street signs: A common joke among big-city drivers, street signs are something that should be simple to interpret but, oftentimes, are not. With differing messages, time restraints, and symbols all coexisting on the same small rectangular sign, parking legally on the street can require some focus and mental fortitude. Take your time, read the signs and ensure that you won’t be returning to a freshly booted vehicle.
• Park under street lights, not tree branches: If possible, it’s always a good idea to park your car in a well-lit area. In general, the more visible your car is, the safer it will be. Parking under trees, on the other hand, should be avoided whenever possible. Trees shed debris with rain and wind and, on occasion, come down completely in severe weather. Not to mention bird poop is rather annoying, especially with a convertible.
• Fold in side mirrors: One of the easiest ways to protect your car when parking on the street is by simply folding in your driver-side side mirror. This prevents an irresponsible driver from passing too close to your parked car, clipping off your mirror, and continuing on with their day, leaving you with the bill for repairs.
• Take or hide your things and lock up: On average, over 80,000 unlocked cars are stolen each year. That’s right, unlocked cars. So, while this may seem like an obvious tip, it is an important one. Lock your car, take your keys with you and be sure that no valuables are visible to people passing by and peeking in. Make sure potential thieves have no reason to be interested in your car or anything inside it.
• Remember your location: People are forgetful. We forget our keys, our phones, our wallets. Heck, sometimes we forget whether or not our kids are in the backseat. We also, on occasion, forget where we park. Prevent this issue by dropping a pin on your maps app before you leave your ride behind. Then, when you’re ready to return, simply pull up the pin and find your ride in no time.

Future Proof Your Car

• Car wash: Getting your car washed about every two weeks is a great way to make sure your car looks presentable. Beyond that, it shows would-be thieves that you pay attention to your vehicle. Oftentimes, car thieves target vehicles that look neglected. The idea here is that they will have more time after the theft to do with the car what they want before the owner even notices it’s gone. So, protect your car’s exterior appearance and show people you care about your ride with frequent washes. 
• Snow cover: A snow cover or car blanket protects your car from all elements. Whether that’s snow, hail, tree debris, or bird droppings, a cover is a great way to protect your ride and prevent passersby from seeing what’s inside.
• Sunshade: Over time, constant exposure to the sunlight will cause fading and cracks on your dash and other areas of your interior. A sunshade is a great way to protect your car’s interior and prevent potential thieves from seeing something worth stealing in your car.
• Catalytic converter shield: This may sound like an unnecessary precaution, but when you consider the fact that an experienced thief can steal a catalytic converter in about two minutes, that $350 shield is looking a lot better than a $2,000+ converter.

Stay Safe Out There!

With more and more people moving to major metropolitan areas each year, parking in areas like Dayton is getting harder and harder to find, while inventory for car thieves has never been higher. However, if you follow these steps, you can rest easy knowing that you’ve done all you can to protect your car while it’s parked on the street.

How To Make The Most Of Your Test Drive?

The two most dreamed-of possessions that most of you had in your entire life were a car and a house. The first is a more accessible dream than the second, which most people seek at the first opportunity. After you have decided on a car model that you want to buy, the last step is the test drive. During a test drive, the customer is asked to drive the car he has bought in order to check all the mechanisms of the car, as well as the interior and exterior, in order to avoid later problems with the newly purchased car. If you’re tempted to skip your test drive when buying a car, you’re making one of the biggest mistakes that can leave you regretting your decision for the rest of your life. But here, too, it is hardly possible to understand the mechanisms of a car and its functionalities during the test drive. However, to get the most out of your test drive, here are a few points you can follow:

1. Understand the test drive drill:

The main purpose of inviting customers to take a test drive is to report whether they are satisfied with the vehicle. As you already know, buying a car is not a question of small investments. A lot of money is spent on the purchase of a vehicle of your choice. Therefore, you will not want to regret your decision later. Instead of believing that new cars are reliable, don’t leave an inch to check how reliable the car is.

1. Ensure that your opinion matters to the professionals of the automobile shop:

Before you buy a car, check online the characteristics, the performance, the current vehicle statistics, and the positive and negative customer reviews that the vehicle has received. In addition to any information, you can get online, always seek expert opinion.

1. Drive the car as you own it:

There is no specific formula to follow when test driving. The best strategy to adopt when taking your favorite car for a test drive is to think of yourself as the car’s owner. Forget all the stress and anxiety you have for life and focus on the car and its operation for now.

1. Pay attention to comfort while driving:

When you buy a new car, you naturally want it to be comfortable. Therefore, when test driving the car, choose a route that consists of smooth and rough roads. Then drive the car through rough roads and terrain to see if you enjoy the same level of comfort everywhere.

1. Get a second opinion:

Finally, it is suggested that you take someone else (maybe a friend or your partner or relative or neighbor) with you who can give you an outer perspective about the car’s performance.

There is no doubt that the name Voyager sounds like one for an adventure vehicle. The name stands for a daring minivan that has enough power, amenities, and storage space to make every trip a great experience. It offers space for seven people in three rows. Many will likely find the 2021 Chrysler Voyager as the cheapest minivan on the market.

Trims to choose from at Rhythm Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram:

Buyers will get to choose between two trims of the 2021 Chrysler Voyager- LX and L. Along with these, the LX variant is on offer for commercial fleet owners in the US.

2021 Jeep Wrangler vs. 2021 Ford Bronco

Both the Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco are compact SUVs with serious off-road credibility. So far, the Wrangler was used to walking away with all the accolades, but things are likely to change with the revival of the Bronco this year. The decision of choosing a vehicle between the two will depend on various factors such as usage pattern and appearance.

Points of Comparison:

1. Body Styles– Both vehicles are available as 2-door and 4-door. While the 4-door Bronco is larger than the 2-door and offers space for 5 adults, the 4-door Wrangler is called the Wrangler Unlimited. Customers can get all 4-door style Bronco moldings in 2021. Unlimited, the 4xE (hybrid plugin), and higher settings are the only options.
2. Special Features– Various versions of the Wrangler are available with a 1-year subscription to SiriusXM Guardian Connected Services, including automatic collision notification, remote access functions, and quick access to RSA (Roadside Assistance). A limited range of connected services is available for the Bronco. They are equipped with a WLAN access point.
3. Off-roading Prowess– The 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is a compromise to the Badlands trim and Sasquatch package of the 2021 Ford Bronco. Expect all Bronco models to receive a standard part-time 4WD setup coupled with low-range transmissions. It essentially gives the Bronco a “2 Hi” rear-drive mode where the driver manually selects 4WD when needed. Downshifting in the lower range is best on this vehicle, and regardless of the trim, all Broncos are equipped with a terrain management system that offers G.O.A.T. (Go Over Any Terrain) modes while all trim levels have slippery modes and sand, which receives the highest settings the Mud / Ruts, Baja, and Rock Crawl modes. The Sasquatch package is best. Compared to the Bronco, the Wrangler has a front stabilizer separation function, locking front and rear differentials, and a more aggressive final drive ratio. There are three different 4WD systems. available for the Wrangler 2021:
   1. Part-time 4WD
   2. Selec-Trac system with Automatic 4WD (optional)
   3. Rock-Trac system (Wrangler Rubicon)

The Selec-Trac system is suitable for meeting customer needs in winter. Rock-Trac is available in two variations: automatic 4WD and a standard part-time version.

4. Technology and Infotainment– All 2021 Ford Bronco variants will receive a standard 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with SYNC4. A 12.0-inch touchscreen can also be selected here. Lower versions of the 2021 Jeep Wrangler are expected to be available with a 5.0-inch color screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto need to be updated to 7.0 or 8.0-inch touchscreens.
5. Quality and Reliability- The Ford Bronco is a completely new offering in 2021, so it is not part of the 2021 Initial Quality Survey or the J.D. Power 2021 Vehicle Reliability Survey. On the other hand, the Wrangler is not one of the top three vehicles. Below are the warranties and RSAs for both SUVs:
