Your brakes are absolutely essential to the safe operation of your vehicle. If you don't bring your vehicle in for maintenance every 18,000 miles, there is a very good chance that your brakes will fall into disrepair and need to be worked on. Today, we're looking at the most common signs that your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM is in need of a brake repair at your Indianapolis, IN Chrysler dealer. Your Car Makes Funny Sounds One of the most common signs that your brakes are in disrepair is funny sounds that occur when you slow or stop your vehicle or release your brakes. For example, you may hear a clicking sound if the components that hold your brake pads against your brake rotors are warped due to excessive heat exposure. For instance, the clips, bolts, or pins that are responsible for holding your brake pads together may become damaged. more You also may hear squealing as your brake system falls into disrepair. Squealing occurs when the metal of your brake rotor grinds against the metal indicator strip that lies beneath the brake pad. When your brake pads are so worn that the metal indicator is exposed, your brake system is in such disrepair that your stopping distance will be increased drastically. This is particularly dangerous when the roads are wet and a short stopping distance is crucial. Your Brake Pedal Vibrates There is also a chance that your brakes need to be repaired if your brake pedal vibrates when you depress or release your brake pedal. A vibrating brake pedal is caused by prolonged excessive heat exposure unevenly melting the adhesive that helps to keep your brake rotor together. When your brake rotor is not exposed to excessive heat, the adhesive melts and spreads evenly. Your Brake Fluid Is Leaking Another common sign that you need to have your brakes repaired is an indication that you have a brake fluid leak. To tell that your brake fluid is leaking, check your brake fluid level monthly. If your brake fluid level is low, you need to schedule a service appointment right away. However, you may have a slow leak and need to check your brake fluid level consistently over the course of several months to detect a leak. You also can tell that you have a brake fluid leak by its distinct smell of fishy oil. It is extremely difficult to tell whether you have a brake fluid leak by seeing fluid beneath your vehicle because brake fluid comes in so many colors depending on the brand. There are several signs that you may be in need of a brake job, including funny sounds, a vibrating brake pedal, and signs of a brake fluid leak. If you have noticed any of the aforementioned signs of brakes in disrepair, contact us today at Tom O'Brien Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram - Indianapolis on E 96th St to schedule a service appointment.

Your truck doesn't get the gas mileage it used to, and you're at a loss trying to determine the cause. You're not towing or hauling heavier loads than you usually do. You're not spending more time stuck in school traffic. The cause of the extra time you're spending at the pump may be your motor isn't getting enough oxygen to combust the fuel in your tank. Here's how you can tell it is time for your RAM oil change. You Can't Remember the Last Time You Brought Your Truck in for an Oil Change If you can't remember the last time you brought your truck in for an oil change, the time is now to schedule an appointment. After your oil change, make a note in your phone of the mileage and keep in mind that oil changes performed with synthetic motor oil should occur every 12,500 miles. Oil changes performed with conventional motor oil should occur every 5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first. Also, you should keep in mind that you should get an oil change at least once annually if you opt for synthetic motor oil and do not drive 12,500 miles in 12 months. more Your Fuel Efficiency Isn't What It Used to Be Another sign it is time to bring your truck in for an oil change is you are fueling up more often than you should be fueling up. Depending on whether you have a diesel- or gasoline-fueled motor, your motor needs 14.5 or 14.7 kg of air to combust one kg of fuel. If you go too long without an oil change, there is too much sludge in your fuel and efficient fuel combustion does not occur. This results in spending too much time at the fuel pump. Your Truck Is Accelerating Slowly If your truck is accelerating more slowly than you think it should, particularly if you're not towing or hauling a heavy load, it is time to bring your truck in for a professional oil change. Over time, deposits form in your motor oil. As more time passes, these deposits turn into sludge. This sludge circulates throughout your motor and decreases its power, decreasing acceleration. You Smell Something Funny If you smell something oily, you may have an oil leak. If you smell something burning, that may be burning motor oil, and your engine may overheat. If you smell something sweet or reminiscent of fish oil, you may have a different kind of fluid leak. Your local certified RAM technician can identify the source of the leak and fix it before serious damage is done to your vehicle. There are several signs it is time to bring your truck in for an oil change, including fuel inefficiency and not remembering the last time your oil change was performed by a certified RAM technician. If you can't remember the last time you had your motor oil changed by a professional, contact us today at Tom O'Brien Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram to schedule a service appointment.
