Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Dealer Near West Lebanon NH
A Short Drive South for Drivers from West Lebanon
West Lebanon sits about 25 miles up the Connecticut River from us, which makes Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Claremont a reasonable trip for Upper Valley drivers who want a real CDJR dealership without driving to Concord or Manchester. We see plenty of customers who make the drive down Route 12A regularly, particularly Jeep and Ram owners who appreciate having a factory-trained service department closer to home.
What we do here is pretty straightforward: we sell new and used Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles, we service them, and we stock the parts to keep them running. The team is small enough that you tend to deal with the same people across visits, which matters when you are buying a vehicle you plan to own for a decade.

New and pre-owned Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles, weighted toward the 4WD trucks and SUVs Upper Valley drivers actually want for winter and rural roads.
Small Team That Knows Its Inventory
Our sales staff is small enough that anyone you talk to has actually walked the lot recently and can tell you what is in stock without checking a screen first.
Repeat-Customer Approach
Most of our business comes from customers we have worked with before and people they referred. That shapes how we handle every transaction.
What Buying from Us Actually Looks Like
Car shopping should not require a coping strategy. At Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Claremont, we walk through the inventory, answer the questions you have, and tell you what we know about the vehicles you are considering. If a vehicle has something in its history worth knowing, you hear it before you sign anything. If a different vehicle on the lot would fit your situation better, we say that too.
For drivers coming from West Lebanon, Hanover, or White River Junction, we try to make the visit worth the trip. That means having the vehicle ready when you arrive, having the trade-in conversation organized, and not springing surprises in the finance office. Schedule a test drive ahead of time and we will have the keys ready when you walk in.

Our finance team works with multiple lenders, including credit unions that are common in the Upper Valley and the manufacturer captives. That gives us room to find a workable rate across most credit profiles, including buyers rebuilding credit and first-time buyers without much history.

Online Pre-Approval
Trade-In Built In
If you have a current vehicle to put toward the purchase, our trade-in tool gives you a working estimate before you make the drive down. The number gets firmed up in person once we look at the vehicle, but the online estimate is usually within range. Worth checking the current vehicle specials while you are at it, since manufacturer incentives shift quarter to quarter and stack with financing differently each time.

Service and Parts for Your Mopar
Our service department handles routine maintenance, warranty work, and bigger repairs across the full Mopar lineup. Factory-trained technicians, the diagnostic equipment that ties into FCA's systems, and Mopar parts in stock through our parts department.
For Upper Valley drivers, we cover the items that actually matter in this climate: brake inspections after winter (salt eats rotors), suspension and alignment after the worst of mud season, battery testing before the cold sets in, and the seasonal tire swaps that anyone running dedicated winter tires already plans for. Look at the current service specials if you have a maintenance item coming due.

- Genuine OEM parts in stock or available next-day
- Diesel service for Cummins-equipped Ram trucks
Online scheduling is the fastest way to set an appointment, particularly during the seasonal rush periods (winter tire season, spring inspections). If you need a part for a DIY job, you can order parts online and pick them up at the counter.

Frequently Asked Questions for Visitors from West Lebanon, NH
What types of vehicles does Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Claremont carry?
New and pre-owned Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram, with the lineup weighted toward the 4WD trucks and SUVs that move best in this region. We also carry pre-owned vehicles from other manufacturers when they come through trade-ins, which means our used lot is broader than just Mopar.
Is the trip from West Lebanon worth it?
Honest answer: it depends on what you are shopping for. For a CDJR-specific vehicle, factory-trained service, or warranty work, yes. For a generic used commuter car, you have closer options. Most of our West Lebanon customers come down because they want a specific Jeep, Ram, or Chrysler model that is harder to find at non-CDJR dealers.
Can I do most of the buying process online before I drive down?
Yes. You can browse new inventory, value your trade, apply for financing, and schedule a test drive all online. By the time you make the drive down, the paperwork side is largely sorted and we just verify the vehicle in person.
What service does the dealership handle?
Routine maintenance (oil changes, tire rotations, brakes), Mopar warranty work, recall campaigns, diagnostic work, and bigger repairs. Cummins diesel service for Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Our technicians have manufacturer training, and we use Mopar OEM parts as the default.
How does the trade-in process work for out-of-town buyers?
Use the online trade-in tool to get a starting estimate. We confirm the number when you bring the vehicle in. If you would rather get a firm number before driving down, send photos and the VIN through our contact form and we can work toward a tighter range over email.
Is the dealership easy to find from Route 12A?
Yes. We are at 5 River Road in Claremont, which is just off the main commercial corridor in town. Once you reach Claremont on Route 12A, you are a few minutes from the lot. The Google Maps embed above shows the routing in detail.
Do you have used vehicles?
Yes. Our pre-owned inventory includes Mopar trade-ins as well as other makes that came through. Every used vehicle goes through a multi-point inspection in our service bays before listing. We disclose anything significant in the vehicle's history up front.
What are the service department hours?
Service runs Monday through Friday during standard business hours. Hours occasionally shift around holidays. Check the service department page or call ahead before making the trip down. Online scheduling is available outside business hours.
Can I lease a new vehicle from your lot?
Yes, leasing is available on most new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram models. Lease versus finance is a real conversation that depends on your annual mileage, how long you plan to keep the vehicle, and current incentive structures. Our finance team can run both scenarios so you see the actual numbers.
Why drive down from West Lebanon when there are closer dealers?
Most West Lebanon drivers come to us specifically because they want a Mopar product. CDJR dealers are not on every corner up here. If you want factory-trained Jeep or Ram service, dealer-direct parts, or specific new model availability, we are the closest option for a meaningful stretch of the Upper Valley.
