Finding Chrysler dealerships in your area
The fastest way to find a Chrysler dealership near you is to use the official Chrysler dealer locator on Chrysler's website. Enter your zip code or city, and the tool returns dealerships within a set radius, along with their hours, phone numbers, and distance from your location. This locator is maintained by Chrysler and reflects current dealer networks.
You can also search "Chrysler dealer near me" or "Chrysler dealership [your city]" in Google Maps or Apple Maps. These searches show dealership locations, customer reviews, hours of operation, and directions. Maps-based searches often include real-time information about whether a dealership is currently open.
If you know a specific dealership name, calling ahead before you visit saves time. Dealerships may have limited hours, service departments that close earlier than sales floors, or may be closed for inventory or staff reasons. A quick phone call confirms they have what you need and can answer questions about current inventory or service availability.

What to expect when you visit a dealership
Dealerships typically have separate areas for sales and service. The sales floor handles new and used vehicle purchases, financing, and trade-ins. The service department handles maintenance, repairs, recalls, and warranty work. If you are visiting for service, you may be able to drop off your vehicle without an appointment, but scheduling ahead usually means shorter wait times.
Most dealerships have a website showing their current inventory of new and used vehicles. You can browse models, pricing, and features before you visit. Some dealerships allow you to reserve a vehicle online or request a test drive appointment through their website.
Dealership services beyond vehicle sales
Chrysler dealerships provide service and maintenance for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles — brands owned by Stellantis, the parent company. This includes oil changes, tire service, battery replacement, brake work, and transmission service. Dealerships also handle recalls, which are repairs Chrysler issues for safety or defect reasons at no cost to the owner.
If your vehicle is under warranty, dealership service is often required to keep the warranty valid. Warranty work is covered by Chrysler, not by you. If your vehicle is out of warranty, you can choose to use the dealership or an independent repair shop, though dealerships use Chrysler-certified parts and technicians trained on Chrysler vehicles.
Finding used Chrysler vehicles
Dealerships sell both new and used vehicles. Used Chrysler inventory varies by location and changes frequently. Checking a dealership's website before you visit shows what used vehicles they currently have in stock. Many dealerships allow you to filter by model, year, price range, and mileage online.
You can also search used Chrysler vehicles across multiple dealerships using sites like Autotrader, Cars.com, or Edmunds. These sites show inventory from many dealerships in your area and allow you to compare prices and features. When you find a vehicle you are interested in, you can contact the dealership directly or use the site's messaging tool to ask questions.
Understanding dealership pricing and financing
Dealership prices for new vehicles are typically based on the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP), though dealers may offer discounts, incentives, or promotions. Used vehicle prices vary based on age, mileage, condition, and local market demand. Prices shown online may not include taxes, fees, or destination charges, so ask the dealership for a full breakdown before you commit.
Dealerships offer financing through their own finance departments or through partner lenders. You can also bring financing from your own bank or credit union. Comparing financing options before you visit helps you understand what rate and terms you might receive. Some dealerships offer special financing rates for may have access to buyers, particularly on new vehicles.
Visiting during peak and off-peak times
Dealership traffic varies by day and time. Weekends and late afternoons are typically busier, which means longer waits for sales staff and service appointments. Weekday mornings and early afternoons are often quieter, giving you more attention from staff and faster service. If you are planning a service visit, calling ahead to schedule an appointment is more reliable than dropping in, especially during busy seasons.
Some dealerships close on Sundays or have limited hours on certain days. Checking the dealership's hours before you visit prevents a wasted trip. Holiday schedules may also differ from regular hours, so if you are planning to visit around a holiday, confirm the dealership will be open.
What to bring when you visit
For a sales visit, bring your driver's license and proof of insurance. If you are trading in a vehicle, bring the title and keys. If you are financing, the dealership will ask for proof of income and may request a credit check.
For a service visit, bring your keys and the vehicle title or registration. If your vehicle is under warranty, bring proof of the warranty. If you have a service appointment, arriving a few minutes early allows time to check in. If you are dropping off your vehicle, the service department will give you a loaner car or arrange transportation if available.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a dealership is official and authorized by Chrysler?
Official Chrysler dealerships appear in the Chrysler dealer locator on the company's website. They display the Chrysler brand name prominently and are authorized to sell new Chrysler vehicles and perform warranty work. You can also call Chrysler's customer service line to confirm a dealership's authorization status.
Can I buy a vehicle online from a Chrysler dealership?
Some dealerships offer online purchasing or delivery options, but policies vary by location and state. Check the dealership's website or call to ask whether they offer remote buying, home delivery, or curbside pickup. Many dealerships allow you to complete paperwork online and pick up the vehicle at the dealership.
What if the dealership doesn't have the vehicle I want in stock?
Dealerships can order vehicles from Chrysler's inventory system or from other dealerships. Ask the sales staff about ordering options, lead times, and whether you can place a deposit to hold an order. Some dealerships charge a non-refundable deposit, while others do not, so confirm the terms before you commit.
Do I have to use the dealership for service after I buy a vehicle?
No. Once you own the vehicle, you can use any repair shop for maintenance and repairs. However, using the dealership for warranty work keeps your warranty valid. Out-of-warranty repairs can be done anywhere, though dealerships use Chrysler-certified parts and technicians trained on Chrysler vehicles.
How far will dealerships travel to pick up or deliver a vehicle?
Delivery and pickup distances vary by dealership. Some deliver within 50 miles, others within 100 miles or more. Ask the dealership about their delivery policy and whether there are additional fees for delivery outside a certain radius. Some dealerships offer free delivery within a set distance for new vehicle purchases.
