How the Ownership Shift Affects Local Drivers and Existing Customers

Commuters looking to manage fuel costs often compare conventional powertrains with newer alternatives on their daily drives. The shift to our new ownership group brings an expanded network of resources, allowing us to offer a wider selection of pre-owned models and advanced fuel-efficient options. For example, towing a trailer to the Columbia County Fairgrounds in Bloomsburg is a common weekend task that highlights the need for capable towing vehicles. To help you find the right balance of efficiency and capability, we maintain a diverse hybrid inventory selection that features modern plug-in and mild-hybrid systems.

In addition to our new models, we have expanded our pre-owned department to ensure that every driver can find a vehicle that fits their lifestyle. Our team carefully inspects every trade-in and pre-owned vehicle to guarantee quality and reliability. You can easily browse our featured pre-owned vehicles online to see our latest arrivals. This expanded inventory ensures that our customers have access to a broader range of options than ever before, backed by the same local care they have always trusted.

Your Kaiser Brothers Warranty and Service Agreements Under the Hawkins Name

Are you wondering if your existing service contract or factory warranty remains valid now that the sign on the building has changed? When a customer visits our service desk with Kaiser Brothers paperwork in their glovebox, our service writers explain that manufacturer warranties are tied directly to the vehicle's unique VIN rather than the name on the dealership door. This means that any new vehicle limited warranty, powertrain warranty, or active Mopar vehicle protection plan remains fully active and honored at our facility.

We handle all warranty claims and administrative paperwork directly with the manufacturer, ensuring you face zero hassle or interruption in coverage. If you are currently driving a pre-owned vehicle purchased under the previous name, any existing dealer-backed warranties or service contracts will be fully transitioned and respected by our team. If you are looking to upgrade your current ride, you can browse our used inventory to see our certified pre-owned options. For those searching for a very specific make or model that is not currently on our lot, we encourage you to use our online CarFinder tool so we can locate it for you.

What to Expect from the Service Department Hours and Amenities

Maintaining a busy schedule requires a service department that offers convenient hours and comfortable accommodations while your vehicle is on the lift. Our service center is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. These extended weekday hours are designed to allow local workers to drop off their vehicles before or after their shifts, minimizing disruption to their workdays.

While our factory-trained technicians perform your maintenance, you can relax in our customer lounge area, which features comfortable seating, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary coffee. We also offer a courtesy shuttle service to help you get back to your home or office within the local area, as well as loaner vehicles for qualified major repair procedures. If you are planning a vehicle purchase alongside your service visit, you can secure pre-approval online to save time at the dealership. Our goal is to provide a stress-free, transparent experience from the moment you arrive.

Routine Maintenance and Specialized Mopar Repairs for Your Vehicle

Maintaining the performance of a modern utility vehicle or truck requires specialized diagnostic tools and certified technicians who work with original equipment manufacturer parts. Our service department specializes in routine maintenance and complex repairs for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles. Whether you need a standard oil change, tire rotation, brake pad replacement, or advanced powertrain diagnostics, our team is equipped to handle it.

To keep your vehicle running exactly as the manufacturer intended, we use genuine Mopar parts designed specifically for your model's dimensions and performance specs. For example, the 2026 Ram 1500 features a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with eTorque producing 305 hp, or an available 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six engine producing either 420 hp or 540 hp for the high-output version. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard. Properly equipped models with the standard-output Hurricane engine can tow up to 11,580 lb. Our technicians understand these complex powertrains and ensure that every repair meets factory standards.

If you are experiencing a mechanical breakdown, flat tire, or other emergency on the road, you can rely on manufacturer-backed support. The official Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Roadside Assistance: 800-521-2779 program provides 24-hour towing to the nearest authorized dealer, jump-starts, flat tire service, and fuel delivery. This service is included with your vehicle's basic manufacturer warranty period, ensuring peace of mind wherever you drive.

If you are considering a new vehicle, you can explore our extensive lineup online. We invite you to browse our complete new inventory or check out our featured new vehicles. For specific models, you can shop our new Jeep Grand Cherokee models, explore new Jeep Cherokee inventory, or check out new Jeep Compass options. We also offer specialized utility models, including new Jeep Gladiator trucks, premium new Jeep Grand Wagoneer inventory, and trail-ready new Jeep Wrangler models. If you need heavy-duty towing capability, you can view our new Ram 1500 inventory or shop our new Ram 2500 models.
