Healthy brakes are your Chevy's most important safety device, as they allow you to control your speed anytime. If your brakes show signs of wear, it's essential to get them checked ASAP, as brake failure can result in an accident. In Pataskala, OH, your Chevy dealer can repair your brakes for you. These are some signs that you'll need a brake repair very soon. Your Car Is Pulling to the Side When you hit the brakes, each brake should engage at the same time. If you brake and your car pulls to one side, this is usually a sign that one of your brakes isn't working correctly. This type of problem usually displays a slight pull when it begins, but the pull will become more pronounced if the problem isn't fixed. The failing brake on one side is caused by either a damaged brake caliper or a blockage in the brake hose connected to that brake. The brake hose carries the pressurized brake fluid, which forces the caliper against the rotor to stop the wheel. If the caliper is damaged, it won't engage the brake. Your car will continue to move towards the side until the braking of the other wheels stops your car. We'll examine the affected brake and fix the problem. more Hard Brake Pedal Your brake pedal should always provide resistance when you step on it. This resistance increases as you push harder. The resistance is provided by the pressurized brake fluid that enables the brake system to operate. If you step on the pedal and it barely moves, you need a repair ASAP. If the pedal doesn't respond correctly, your braking system won't work when you need it. A hard brake pedal is usually caused by a brake pedal booster failure. This booster provides additional power to force the brake fluid to move through the system. The booster uses a vacuum to generate 10x human strength to overcome the resistance from the brake fluid. Any damage to the booster could compromise the vacuum, and the booster won't work. Grinding Noises Under normal conditions, your braking system shouldn't make any sounds. If you start hearing a grinding noise each time you use the brakes, your brakes are being damaged. The noise could be due to a stone lodged in a brake caliper, which grinds against the metal when the caliper activates. Worn brake pads can also make a grinding sound. When the friction material covering has worn off, the metal pads will grind against the rotor surface and damage it. Our technicians will find the cause of the noise and fix it. If your brakes show signs of wear, call us at Coughlin Chevrolet of Pataskala.

Pile everyone in a roomy Chevrolet Blazer, Tahoe, or Suburban, and head down the road to experience all the winter fun and excitement of ice fishing, flying kites, sledding, and admiring the magical winter scenery. 1. Celebrate National Kite Flying Day Every year on February 8, between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m., everyone for miles around flock to Infirmary Mound Park at 4351 Lancaster Road in Granville, just over 11 miles away from Pataskala, for National Kite Flying Day. Watch the colorful kites in the sky over the Arena area, and if you want to fly a kite and don't own one, they'll help you make one and keep you warm with steaming cups of coffee and hot chocolate. more 2. Ice Fish on Buckeye Lake Buckeye Lake offers some of the best ice fishing in central Ohio when temperatures fall to single digits. The lake holds a good selection of fish, from bluegill, saugeye, and crappie to walleye and perch. Those in the know say there are many great spots where the ice is seven to ten inches thick, making it safe to drop a hook. Anglers pull out 8-inch bluegills and 15 to 20-inch saugeye throughout the winter. Buckeye Lake State Park at 2905 Leibs Island Road NE in Millersport, 14.8 miles from Heath, has several points for easy access to the best ice fishing spots on the lake, and you can get everything you need at the bait shops and sports shops around the lake. 3. Go Sledding Load the family in the car and take a 9.6-mile drive to Blacklick Woods at 6975 East Livingston Avenue in Reynoldsburg to sled down the moderate hill on the golf course. If you drive 14.2 miles to Heath, you can slide down the slope in John C. Gellar Park at 580 Cynthia Street. A line of trees down the hill creates two areas ideal for sledding. Choose the best side and spend an exciting afternoon flying through the snow down the best sledding hill in the area. 4. Admire Breathtaking Winter Scenery Bundle up warmly and drive to the North Shore Boat Ramp at 69 Mill Street in Buckeye Lake, 15.2 miles from Pataskala, to walk along the path and admire the breathtaking winter scenery. The 3,100-acre Buckeye Lake is surprisingly shallow and freezes fast when the weather turns icy. You'll be rewarded with spectacular views if you're on the path at sunrise or sunset.

Your Chevy's alternator generates the electrical power for all your car's systems. It works continually while your engine is running to supply power. In time, your alternator can get damaged, and you'll need an alternator repair. As your Chevy dealer in Pataskala, OH, we can fix that alternator problem for you. These are some of the types of problems we can fix. Blown Alternator Fuse All the electrical systems in your car have fuses, including the alternator. These fuses protect the component they're attached to from electrical damage. In the event of an electrical problem, the fuse will automatically blow out to isolate its component from harm. The failed fuse can easily be replaced, and the component will work normally again. If the alternator fuse blows, the alternator will automatically shut down. Lack of power from the alternator will cause your car's systems to draw power from the battery instead. The battery isn't designed to supply all your car's electrical needs, and this drain will cause the battery to fail in less than an hour. Once we replace the fuse, your alternator will work again. more Damaged Wiring The power generated by your alternator has to reach the components and systems that need it. Your Chevy has large amounts of cables and wiring that run through it. These wires and cables have to be protected from heat and dirt, and they're covered with thick plastic and rubber insulation. Wiring, unfortunately, can still get damaged due to age and other problems. A broken wire will cut off the supply of electricity to one or more components. Your alternator will continue to supply power through the damaged wire, which causes it to heat up. The heat this generates can get hot enough to burn the insulation. If you smell burning plastic or rubber, call us right away so we can fix the problem. Dead Battery A dead battery can be a sign of a failing alternator. As your alternator ages, its electrical production drops. This is caused by wear and tear on the alternator. As the available power supply drops, your car will experience a variety of electrical problems. One of the alternator's duties is to recharge your battery. A worn alternator won't be able to completely recharge your battery. This means the battery will steadily weaken and eventually die. We can test your alternator and replace it if it failed. We'll also test your battery and recharge it or replace it if it's been damaged. If your alternator is showing signs that it's failing, call us right away at Coughlin Chevrolet of Pataskala. Our experts will fix the problem for you.
