2014 Dodge Journey Scheduled Maintenance

Take care of your Dodge Journey and it'll take care of you. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Journey. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Journey, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2014 Dodge Journey!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Journey perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2014 Dodge Journey problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2014 Dodge Journey for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Journey's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2014 Dodge Journey? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Journey may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Dodge Journey battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Journey stranded. Your Dodge Journey won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2014 Dodge Journey engine. See Dodge's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2014 Journey in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 2014 Dodge Journey.

Maintaining your Dodge Journey steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, perform Dodge Journey suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Prevent damage or premature wear and tear on your Dodge Journey's steering system with regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine Dodge Journey maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Dodge Journey cooling, heating, and climate control system. Need a new Dodge Journey radiator? We can take care of that. A/C smelling musty? We’re here to fix that, too. Firestone Complete Auto Care is the place to go for 2014 Dodge Journey maintenance.

So visit us regularly, or visit us urgently. Many locations are open on weekends and in the evening.
