When To Visit A Chrysler Repair Shop: Save On Service With TIRECRAFT

Your Chrysler needs routine maintenance or repairs. What do you do?

  1. Visit a dealership
  2. Do-it-yourself (DIY)
  3. Find an independent Chrysler repair shop

Each of these options comes with different pros and cons, but if you’re looking to save on service, protect your warranty coverage, and keep your Chrysler running like new, choose TIRECRAFT.

Read on to explore each of these different service solutions, or contact your local TIRECRAFT to schedule a free consultation straight away.

“Should I Visit A Chrysler Repair Shop, Dealership, Or Try To DIY?”

If you experience any mechanical issues resulting from parts defects or poor workmanship, and you’re still within the warranty period, it makes sense to visit a Chrysler dealership and cash in on your coverage.

After all, the Chrysler Warranty is one of the best in the industry, covering:

  • The adjustment, repair or replacement of any factory-installed part of your vehicle (except tires) for the first 3 years or 60,000 kilometers (3/60 Basic Warranty)
  • The adjustment, repair, or replacement of any factory-installed wiper blades, manual transmission clutch disc, breakers, and windshield/rear window, plus wheel alignments and balancing, for the first year or 20,000 kilometers
  • The repair or replacement of all powertrain components, including the gas engine, diesel engine, front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, 4-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive, for 5 years or 100,000 kilometers for non-SRT models (5/100 Powertrain Warranty)
  • The repair or replacement of any high voltage battery for 10 years or 160,000 kilometers (10/160 High Voltage Battery Warranty)

But while Chrysler will reimburse you for any part failures due to manufacturing defects and poor workmanship, they will not cover “routine maintenance, any damage to the interior or damage due to aftermarket parts, accidents, or the environment.”

So what do you do if you need routine maintenance, accident repairs, or standard part replacements? If you want to avoid paying dealership premiums, you have two options: do-it-yourself or find a qualified Chrysler repair shop.

For most drivers, the choice is obvious—visiting a professional Chrysler repair shop will be quicker, safer, more convenient, and more cost-effective. While doing it yourself might save you a marginal service fee, it could also end up costing you a lot more in the form of:

  • Time and energy to learn how to properly diagnose and fix any problems and source genuine Mopar parts
  • Start-up costs to acquire the necessary tools and diagnostic equipment
  • Disposal fees for spent oil, tires, and other auto parts
  • Damage to your vehicle, and if you’re at fault, “repairs may not be covered under your warranty” (Chrysler Warranty Information Booklet, 2020).

Moreover, DIY repairs will likely cost you your warranty coverage, as the 2020 Chrysler Warranty information booklet states that all services must be completed by “qualified service personnel with special tools and equipment to perform all service operations in an expert manner.”

Unless you’re a skilled mechanic with an impressive home shop setup, visiting a qualified Chrysler repair shop will be your best bet. And with more than 300+ TIRECRAFT locations now open across the country, finding warranty-safe service solutions is easier than ever.
