Heading into Winter? Why Now is the Time for a Free Multi-Point Inspection at Kunes CDJR of Sterling

As the days grow shorter and temperatures begin to dip in northeast Illinois and southern Wisconsin, your vehicle is about to enter one of the most demanding seasons it will face all year. At Kunes Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM of Sterling, we’re offering a FREE Multi-Point Inspection (see our service specials page) to help you transition safely into winter driving with confidence.

Winter weather is approaching fast

The icy roads, early frosts, freezing rain and snow of winter will put extra strain on everything from your battery to your tires to your heating system. Getting ahead of it now means less risk of a breakdown when you need your vehicle most.

You’ll beat the rush

Once winter hits in full force, service bays fill up and appointment times lengthen. By scheduling your inspection in November, you’ll get priority access and more flexibility.

Protect your investment

Whether you drive a new Jeep, Dodge, RAM or Chrysler — or a vehicle from another brand — dusting off any hidden wear and tear now means you’ll avoid unexpected problems later.

Maximize safety for you and your loved ones

Conditions change fast as winter settles in: darker mornings, slicker roads, fog, snowdrifts, and hidden hazards. A comprehensive inspection keeps your car, truck or SUV ready.

At Kunes CDJR of Sterling, our inspection covers these key items (and more):

• Tire pressure & condition (including tread depth)
• Windshield wipers & washer system
• Exterior lighting (headlights, tail lights, turn signals)
• Cooling system inspection for mixture/leaks
• Fluid levels and condition (engine oil, coolant, brake, etc.)

Since the inspection is free, you only pay if the technician recommends additional work. That means you can catch issues early — before they turn into costly repairs or leave you stranded.

• Battery & electrical load: Cold weather makes batteries work harder; accessories like defrosters, heated seats and lights draw more power.
• Tires & traction: Lower temps mean reduced grip; proper tread and correct pressure are more critical than ever.
• Brakes & stability systems: Icy surfaces and low-friction conditions demand brakes and ABS systems in tip-top shape.
• Heater/defrost performance: A clear windshield is your first defense on a frost-covered or snowy morning.
• Cooling/antifreeze system: You don’t want a frozen engine or coolant leak when the temperature dips.
• Lights & visibility: With earlier sunsets and snowfall, visibility is reduced — all lights must function perfectly.

• A trusted local service team experienced with winter-road readiness.
• Convenient location in Sterling, Illinois with easy scheduling and fast turnaround.
• Genuine OEM parts and service tailored to your vehicle’s make and model.
• Transparent communication: you’ll know what needs attention, why, and how much (before you agree).
• Our FREE Multi-Point Inspection special ensures you’re not committing to anything until you're comfortable.
