What can I tow in a Chrysler?

Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is.

How often does my 300 transmission fluid need to be checked?

Caring for your Chrysler 300’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.

What’s the Importance of Your 2020 300’s Transmission?

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Chrysler 300 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Chrysler 300 transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your 300’s not even driveable.
