Whether your Jeep is a daily driver, weekend trail vehicle, or tow-capable SUV, we focus on fixing the issue correctly and protecting long-term reliability.

Why Diagnostics Matter for Jeep Vehicles
Modern Jeeps rely heavily on electronic control modules and integrated systems. A single warning light can be triggered by multiple causes—especially in vehicles that see off-road use, towing, or stop-and-go driving.
Replacing parts without testing often leads to unresolved issues and repeat failures.
Our Jeep diagnostic process includes:
Reading and interpreting fault codes and live data
Electrical testing and voltage verification
Mechanical inspection of related systems
Manufacturer service procedures and specifications
This approach allows us to address the root cause, not just the symptom.

Jeep-Related FAQs
How do I check the fluid levels in my Jeep?
To check your Jeep’s fluid levels, ensure the engine is off and cool for oil and coolant checks. Use the dipstick to check the oil level, wiping it first, then reinserting to read the correct level. The coolant should be checked at the reservoir, never opening the radiator cap when hot. Brake fluid is visible through the reservoir’s markings. For transmission fluid, automatics require the engine running and the car in neutral; manuals often need a mechanic to check under the vehicle. Always consult your owner’s manual for accurate procedures and fluid types. If levels are low or you’re unsure, see a Jeep mechanic.
How often should I change the oil in my Jeep?
The frequency of oil changes for your Jeep can vary depending on the model and year, as well as your driving conditions. Generally, it’s recommended to change the oil every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. However, if you have a newer model with a diesel engine, the interval may be longer, such as 10,000 miles or 12 months. Always check your Jeep’s owner’s manual for the most accurate information and remember that severe driving conditions might require more frequent oil changes. If your Jeep has an oil change indicator, it’s also a good practice to follow its prompts while not exceeding the maximum recommended interval.
Can I replace my Jeep's headlights with aftermarket LED bulbs?
Yes, you can replace your Jeep’s headlights with aftermarket LED bulbs to improve visibility and aesthetics. However, ensure that the LED bulbs are compatible with your Jeep model and meet regulatory requirements for brightness and beam pattern. Installation of aftermarket LED bulbs may require modifications to the headlight housing or wiring, so consult a qualified technician for proper installation and alignment to prevent glare and ensure optimal performance.
Is it normal for my Jeep's engine to make a ticking noise?
A ticking noise from the engine of your Jeep could be caused by various factors, including valve train issues, low oil level, or worn-out components. It’s essential to have the engine inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose the source of the noise and address any underlying issues promptly.
