When Do I Change My Windshield Wipers?
Windshield wiper blades are almost always the last thing on your mind, but they can become a big problem if they’re not working properly. Keeping your windshield clear and dry is a vital job, though, so it’s best not to ignore worn or broken wiper blades. The good news is that they’re super easy to source and install, and you won’t need fancy tools. Count on replacing your wiper blades every year, but it’s best to replace the blades once you notice that they aren’t performing as well as they used to. When coming into the dealership in High Point for service, we will do a multipoint inspection, and your wiper blades are one on those points. We will recommend if they need replacing and provide you with a quote for a new set.
The 2023 Jeep Compass has a new engine, transmission, and driveline to improve performance. For 2022, Jeep gave its Compass SUV a mild refresh, but the new turbocharged engine and drivetrain for the 2023 models bodes well with the new Compass’ on-road and off-road prowess.
What’s New for 2023:
According to Autoblog, the 2023 Compass has gotten rid of the 2.4-liter naturally-aspirated four-cylinder of the previous model to make room for a new turbocharged powerplant. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter turbo engine that generates 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft. of torque, an upgrade from the previous Compass. With the new engine upgrade, the 2023 Jeep Compass is significantly more powerful than the Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain – two rivals.
The 2023 Compass also gains more standard safety features this year. Newly standard features include drowsy driver detection, a rear seat reminder alert, and a security alarm. Automatic high beams now come standard on all but the Sport trim.
Additional Standard and Available Safety Features:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go (standard on Limited and Trailhawk; available on Latitude and Latitude LUX)
- Active Lane Management
- LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist
- Rear Cross Path Detection
- Advanced Brake Assist
- Pedestrian/Cyclist Automatic Emergency Braking
“We’ve received tremendous customer feedback on the Jeep Compass’ new interior and all the high-tech features, and now we have the opportunity to showcase the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine standard on all Compass models for the 2023 model year,” said Jim Morrison, senior vice president and head of Jeep brand North America. “I can’t wait for customers to take it for a spin, because not only is it more powerful, it’s also really fun to drive.”
Jeep’s 2023 Compass is available in five different trims: Sport, Latitude, Latitude LUX, Limited and the rugged Trail Rated Trailhawk. .
Chrysler launched a new multimedia advertising campaign highlighting its Chrysler Pacifica and Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid models. The ad, titled “Vanlightenment,” comically hones in on the chaotic lives of families, while showcasing just how effective the Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid are in bringing harmony while on the road. Features such as the van’s Stow ‘n Go seating, Stow ‘n Vac, infotainment which includes access to Amazon FireTV, excellent fuel economy, and unprecedented plug-in range are all part of the automaker’s solutions to help parents reach “Vanlightenment.”
“With this campaign, we wanted to bring a bit of light-heartedness to the daily chaos that our Chrysler Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid owners may experience. ‘Valightenment’ recognizes that while raising a family is a beautiful event, it often can be challenging and in need of having the right tool or in this case, the right vehicle, that can deliver a sense of peace and order,” said Marissa Hunter, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Stellantis–North America.
As part of the “Vanlightenment” campaign, Chrysler also premiered a 30-second television spot, “Courage,” which highlights a universal scenario–traveling long distances can be stressful and chaotic, especially when in the wrong vehicle. Parents are encouraged to find “Vanlightenment” behind the wheel of a Chrysler Pacifica or Pacifica Hybrid, giving them the courage and peace of mind that a Pacifica can not only go further when compared to other minivans, but it can help keep children calm and entertained thanks to its premium interior and Amazon FireTV.
2023 Chrysler Pacifica
While the Chrysler Pacifica may never get the credit it deserves for maintaining its family-friendly style in the age of SUVs, it remains atop its segment due to its utility, available features, practicality and more. Available in either front-wheel or all-wheel drive, as well as a plug-in hybrid variant, the 2023 Pacifica isn’t in the business of cutting corners. A standard 287 horsepower V6 engine rests under the hood –a modified Atkinson Cycle version powers the hybrid, but all are mated to the same nine-speed automatic transmission. The combination is a good one as the Pacifica strikes the perfect fuel efficiency balance even while on the highway.
“The Chrysler brand is committed to delivering harmony in our customers’ driving and ownership experiences that makes their lives easier with innovative high-tech features, award-winning interior design, comfort and safety technology. The Chrysler Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid are specially designed as the ultimate family vehicles that simplifies and streamlines everyday life, offering innovative and premium seating and storage to carry everything, screens for every child and seamlessly connected infotainment and safety features,” said Chris Feuell, Chrysler Brand CEO–Stellantis.

When Should I Replace The Tires On My Car?
Welcome To The Service Center At Ilderton Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram
Welcome to the Service Center at Ilderton DCJR, where our factory-trained and certified technicians use the latest technology to keep your Dodge Chrysler, Jeep, or Ram running safely and smoothly.
When you visit our service center, our friendly and knowledgeable service advisors track your service experiences and upcoming needs. We include a multi-point inspection with every service visit, so our technicians and service advisors can help you determine when you should replace your car tires.
When Your Vehicle Needs New Tires
The keys to knowing when you need tire replacement services are in the treads and sidewalls. When the treads wear out, your tires can no longer make a safe connection to the road. If the sidewalls become damaged, your tires could have a blowout. With our tire inspection services, you know exactly when it’s a good idea to start the tire buying process.
Another important consideration for tire replacement is mileage. Most vehicles need new tires every 25,000 to 50,000 miles, as the time spent on the roads wears down the treads. As your tires age, the service technicians at Ilderton DCJR will include tread depth measurements at every oil change or tire rotation.
Our technicians use a precise tool to measure tread depth, and you can help track wear and tear with the penny test. Grab a penny and stick Lincoln’s head into a tread groove. If you can see the top of his head, then it’s time to replace your tires.
Maintaining And Replacing DCJR Tires
When you bring your Mopar vehicle into Ilderton DCJR for oil changes and routine maintenance, our service technicians check your tire treads. They also check tire pressure and fill them to the manufacturer’s recommendations. You can help extend the life of your tires by scheduling routine tire rotations. Our service advisors can help you arrange rotation service, or you can schedule it through our convenient online scheduling service.
Tire and vehicle manufacturers recommend replacing the full set of tires rather than one at a time. When you replace the entire set, the treads stay the same, especially when you get routine tire rotations. Replacing one or two tires can affect the balance, performance, and suspension. Of course, there are times when vehicles need one new tire, especially if the tire has damage from a puncture or blowout.
Why Choose Ilderton DCJR for Tire Service
When it’s time for new tires or tire service, we invite you to visit the tire department in the service center at Ilderton DCJR. Our service technicians can help you with inspections, wheel alignment service, and spare tires, while our service advisors can help you track the services and check the manufacturer’s recommendations for replacements and repairs. For added convenience and affordable vehicle service, we offer tire service specials, rebates, and warranties. Right now through April we are offering BUY 3 Get 1 FREE! We have a variety of tires starting as low as $75 each.
Last Call Dodge Muscle Cars
If you love a gasoline-powered Dodge muscle car, there isn’t that much more time left to get one. That’s because they’re being replaced by electric muscle cars very soon. We’ve been impressed by what electrification can do for models like the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, but if you like the Dodge Challenger or Dodge Charger in their current forms, you’ll have to purchase them soon at Ilderton Dodge.
What’s Happening to the Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger?
The Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger are fun cars, but they’re not exactly fuel-efficient or eco-friendly. Due to changing emissions rules, continuing to produce them in their current form would result in hefty fees for Dodge.
Right now, you can buy a 2022 version of either model and 2023 models are coming to our dealership soon. After that, the Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger are going to be replaced with electric models. The names might come back, but powerful, gas-guzzling features like the gasoline-powered Hellcat engine will not.
What Current Dodge Muscle Cars Have to Offer
The 2022 Dodge Charger is a four-door muscle car that offers a huge variety of options, including a unique widebody style. The 2022 Dodge Challenger is also available in plenty of different trim levels and with different potent engine options, but it really sets itself apart with an all-wheel drive option and best-in-class passenger room.
Both models are available with the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® High-Output SRT® V8 engine. This has an output of 797 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque in the Dodge Charger and produces an extra 10 horsepower in the Dodge Challenger. You’re going to have a hard time finding more power elsewhere.
So if you’re interested in purchasing one of these models before they get replaced by greener sports cars, visit our website http://www.ilderton.com in High Point, NC. We can help you build a new Dodge Challenger or Dodge Charger that offers the driving thrills you’ve been searching for.
