Recommended Automotive Services
Keeping your Jeep Renegade running smoothly and looking good requires regular maintenance, which extends the life of your vehicle and can prevent more costly repairs down the line. Below is a short list of standard care you should consider to help your Renegade last longer.
Regular Oil Changes – Without frequent oil changes, the engine could suffer from a buildup of dirt, sludge, and metal particles that can cause wear and tear on the components. Generally, Jeep recommends changing standard oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles and synthetic oil every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. In addition, we recommend reviewing your owner’s manual to ensure proper care when changing the oil.
Air Filter Replacement – It helps to ensure that the air entering your engine is clean and free of debris, which helps to keep your engine running smoothly. In addition, a dirty air filter can cause your Jeep to burn more fuel, so you need to get gas more frequently. You should replace the air filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles, but harsh driving environments may require changing it more often. Most oil change facilities will check and replace the filter if needed.
Check and Replace Belts & Hoses – Belts, such as the drive belt and timing belt, are responsible for powering components such as the alternator, water pump, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. At the same time, the hoses are accountable for carrying fluids throughout the engine’s cooling system. Unfortunately, belts and hoses are prone to wear and tear, especially from exposure to extreme temperatures, such as hot summers or cold winters. Find an honest mechanic and have them check these items every six months, then replace them if needed to prevent possibly getting stranded.
Engine Coolant Flush & Refill – This procedure involves draining the old, contaminated engine coolant from the cooling system of an automobile’s internal combustion engine and replacing it with fresh, clean coolant. Failure to perform this simple but vital service can lead to problems such as cracked cylinder heads or engine failure. Therefore, it is recommended that Renegades have a coolant flush and refill performed every 30,000 miles or as recommended in your owner’s manual.
Tire Rotations – Tire rotation involves switching the position of each tire and wheel on a vehicle helping distribute the wear and tear on each tire at a more even rate. It also helps ensure that all four tires maintain optimal contact with the road surface and provide consistent grip and traction during braking, cornering, and acceleration. For Jeep Renegade owners, it is recommended to have their tires rotated every six months or 5,000 miles. Scheduling this service while you get the oil change is a great way to ensure you have it done on time.
Transmission Flush and Filter Replacement – This service helps to prevent significant transmission issues by removing any dirt, debris, or contaminants that could cause damage to critical components. Check out our article on the timing and costs of a transmission flush to learn more.
Brake System Inspection & Maintenance – Regular brake system inspections and maintenance include a review of the brakes, rotors, and calipers for wear or damage, as well as a check of the brake fluid levels and condition. If you’re unsure how to tell if the brakes are bad, check out our article, “2 Signs Your Brakes Are Bad“.
A Little Jeep Renegade History
In 2015, Jeep released the first Renegade as a subcompact crossover SUV, produced and marketed jointly by the Jeep division of Chrysler Automobiles and the Italian carmaker Fiat. It was built on the Small Wide 4×4 architecture platform that it shared with other models from both automakers. Below are improvements between generations introduced over the years. Check out AutoEvolution for a complete timeline of the engine sizes each generation of the Renegade offered.
The 1st Generation: 2015-2018 – This version of the Jeep Renegade offered a modern look, with features such as LED daytime running lights, body-colored fascias, and blacked-out grilles. It also introduced the My Sky removable roof panels that let you enjoy open-air driving.
The 2nd Generation: 2018-2020- This version of the Jeep Renegade saw an updated interior and exterior, a new infotainment system, and a driver assistance package. The 2020 Jeep Renegade also received new LED headlamps, taillights, and improved off-road capability.
The 3rd Generation: 2020-present – This is the latest Jeep Renegade version with advanced tech features such as an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto compatibility, plus advanced safety systems such as blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control.
FAQ
Does replacing a windshield devalue a car? Generally speaking, replacing a windshield will not significantly devalue a car, but it may have some impact. For example, if you replace the windshield in an older model Jeep Renegade with an aftermarket part that is not up to OEM standards, it could affect the resale value.
Are Jeep Renegades expensive to fix? Jeep Renegades are generally considered to be reliable vehicles, but like any car, they can require repairs and maintenance over time. The cost of fixing a Jeep Renegade will depend on the type of repair needed and the parts required. Some common repairs for Jeep Renegades include brakes, suspension, engine work, and windshield replacement.
Is it safe to drive a Jeep with a cracked windshield? A cracked windshield can impair the driver’s vision and increase the risk of an accident which isn’t very safe. Additionally, a cracked windshield can weaken the structural integrity of the vehicle during accidents involving a rollover. Repairing chips and cracks can restore the integrity of the glass and prevent the need for a replacement.
Does the Jeep warranty cover a cracked windshield? No, Jeep does not cover cracked windshields under their warranty. The cost of replacing a cracked windshield on a Jeep Renegade will depend on multiple factors we discussed earlier in this article.
Will filing a comprehensive insurance claim pay for my windshield replacement? When it comes to replacing the windshield on your Jeep Renegade, filing a comprehensive insurance claim may help cover some or all of the cost. Comprehensive coverage is designed to protect you from damages that are not caused by a collision, such as vandalism, theft, and weather-related damage. If your windshield was damaged due to any of these causes, then filing a comprehensive insurance claim would only require you to pay the insurance deductible for the job.
Is it better to bring my car to the shop or use mobile auto glass services? Shops are great when the weather is bad, and you need to control the environment. However, if the weather isn’t a factor, mobile appointments are time efficient and prevent the need to schedule time out of your busy day.
Key Takeaways:
- On average, the Jeep Renegade windshield replacement costs between $400 and $850.
- Avoid cheap windshield replacements under $100 as they may not meet advanced safety features.
- Remember that a windshield repair is a viable option over replacement, but consult the glass installer to ensure you’re a candidate for an auto glass repair instead of replacement.
