Ilderton Mobile Services at High Point University
Last week a team from Ilderton DCJR serviced inspected and made recommendations to over 300 High Point University Students before their drive home for the holidays. Ilderton Mobile Service is equipped to provide brake, battery, bulb and tire checks as well as topping off fluids, inspecting wiper blades and even an air compressor to add air to under inflated tires. Our team worked tirelessly to ensure the students would be safe to drive their vehicles, whether they were driving 30 minutes or 8 hours home. The demand was unknown but after the first day it was clear that many students needed the service. 5 days and 16 hours later we wrapped up our first HPU vehicle inspection week. We cannot wait to be back on campus once again in the spring!

Winterize Your Vehicle for Safe and Smooth Travels
Winter is just around the corner, and with it comes the challenges of navigating icy roads, snowy conditions, and freezing temperatures. To ensure your safety and maintain the performance of your vehicle during the winter months, it’s essential to take the time to winterize your vehicle. Ilderton Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram is here to provide you with a comprehensive guide on how to prepare your car for winter, so you can enjoy safe and trouble-free journeys throughout the season.
- Check Your Tires
Your tires are your car’s only point of contact with the road, making them a critical factor in winter driving safety. Here’s what you should do:
a. Install Winter Tires: Winter tires have a different rubber compound and tread pattern designed for improved traction on icy and snowy surfaces. Consider switching to winter tires for the season.
b. Check Tire Pressure: Cold weather can cause tire pressure to drop. Keep your tires properly inflated to ensure better handling and fuel efficiency.
c. Inspect Tread Depth: Make sure your tires have adequate tread depth. The more tread, the better grip your tires will provide.
- Change Your Oil
Using the right oil during winter is crucial. Consider switching to a thinner oil, such as 5W-30, to ensure proper lubrication in cold weather.
- Maintain Your Battery
Cold temperatures can put extra strain on your car’s battery. Make sure your battery is in good condition, and if it’s older than three years, consider getting it tested or replaced.
- Check the Antifreeze
Antifreeze, also known as coolant, is essential for preventing your engine from freezing. Ensure that the antifreeze in your vehicle is at the appropriate level and that it’s a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water.
- Replace Windshield Wipers and Fluid
Visibility is a top priority during winter driving. Replace your windshield wipers if they are worn and use winter-specific washer fluid that won’t freeze on your windshield.
- Prepare an Emergency Kit
Always be prepared for unexpected situations. Assemble an emergency kit for your vehicle, including items such as a blanket, flashlight, extra clothing, non-perishable food, and a first-aid kit.
- Test Your Heater and Defroster
Make sure your car’s heating system is working properly. In addition, test your defroster to ensure you can quickly clear frost or condensation from your windows.
- Inspect Your Brakes
Safe stopping is essential. Have your brakes inspected to ensure they’re in good condition.
- Clean and Wax Your Vehicle
Applying a fresh coat of wax not only protects your car’s paint but also makes it easier to remove snow and ice. Keeping your vehicle clean is a small step that can have a big impact during winter.
- Plan for Regular Maintenance
Regular maintenance can help prevent unexpected breakdowns during the winter months. Make sure your vehicle is up to date with it service schedule.
Winterizing your vehicle is an investment in safety and reliability during the colder months. By following these tips, you can ensure that your car is ready to tackle winter’s challenges, from icy roads to frigid temperatures. Taking the time to prepare your vehicle now will not only protect you and your passengers but also extend the life of your vehicle, and Ilderton DCJR is prepared to take care of servicing your vehicle!

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR CAR WON’T START
Few things are more frustrating than being stranded on the side of the highway with a car that won’t start. It can be stressful and even dangerous if you find yourself in this situation. So here are some steps to take if your car won’t start, especially on a highway.
1) Stay Calm and Safe
The first and most important thing to do if your car won’t start on the side of a highway is to stay calm and safe. Turn on your hazard lights, and move your vehicle as far off the road as possible. Try to park on a level surface, as this can help prevent damage to your car. Once you’ve moved your vehicle to a safe location, turn off the engine and remain inside with your seatbelt on.
2) Try to Diagnose the Issue
If your car won’t start, diagnosing the problem is essential. Start by checking your battery. Is it old or corroded? If so, it may need to be replaced. Next, check your starter motor to see if your battery is new or in good condition. Is it making any noise or clicking sounds? If so, it may be malfunctioning. You can also check your fuel pump, alternator, and ignition system.
3) Call for Assistance
If you cannot diagnose or fix the problem yourself, it’s time to call for assistance. First, contact a trusted auto mechanic shop, like Ilderton Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram, for help. You can send a tow truck to their location to diagnose and fix the problem. It’s essential to stay with your car until help arrives, as leaving it unattended on the side of the highway can be dangerous.
4) Consider Safety Precautions
While you wait for assistance, consider taking safety precautions to protect yourself and your car. For example, turn off your engine and open your hood to let your car cool down. If it’s cold outside, consider turning on your car’s heater to stay warm. You can also place flares or reflective triangles behind your vehicle to alert other drivers to your presence.
5) Take Steps to Prevent Future Issues
Once your car is up and running again, it’s essential to prevent future issues. This includes maintaining your vehicle, checking your battery and other components regularly, and having your car inspected by a professional mechanic. Taking proactive steps to keep your vehicle can help prevent breakdowns and ensure you can always get where you need to go.

What to Expect From the Upcoming Ram Dakota
According to reports, Ram Truck is preparing to introduce the highly anticipated 2024 Ram Dakota, a vehicle that’s poised to make a significant impact on its segment. This upcoming release is bound to put other pickup trucks on notice, and if the leaked images accurately depict the final product, it’s safe to say that thrilling times lie ahead for both the segment and prospective buyers eagerly anticipating its arrival.
The upcoming Dakota will assume the role of the younger sibling to the iconic Ram 1500, a position that holds immense promise. In a fiercely competitive pickup truck segment, Ram aims to make a resounding impact with its latest offerings, hoping to surpass its rivals in every aspect. As we anticipate the rumored launch of the Ram Dakota, here are some key features and expectations enthusiasts have for this highly anticipated midsize truck.
One of the notable aspects that make Ram trucks highly appealing is their availability in multiple trims. Ram understands that a one-size-fits-all approach may not cater to everyone’s preferences, and that’s why they offer a diverse range of trims. A similar approach is likely for the 2024 Dakota, ensuring that prospective customers have the opportunity to select from a variety of trims to suit their individual needs and desires. Ram is committed to delivering a competitive base model while ensuring that the higher-tier trims offer distinct features and enhancements.
This progressive upgrading will be reflected in the corresponding price points, allowing customers to choose the trim that perfectly aligns with their requirements and budget. With this approach, Ram aims to provide a personalized and tailored experience for each buyer, ensuring that they find the Dakota that truly meets their expectations. Additionally, Ram has gained acclaim for its ability to craft visually appealing trucks, seamlessly blending modern design elements with traditional truck chassis to create captivating models. It’s safe to assume that the same approach will be taken with the highly-anticipated 2024 Ram Dakota, positioning it as a standout in a segment that includes notable competitors such as the Ford Ranger.
With ample time to study the design of its rivals, Ram Truck has likely taken meticulous care to ensure that the Dakota possesses a distinctive appearance unlike anything seen before. The anticipation is high, as we can expect a truck that exudes an even more exotic allure than its counterpart, the Ram 1500. The introduction of the Dakota is bound to raise the aesthetic standards within the midsize pickup truck segment, urging competitors to step up their game to match Ram’s appeal.
