Has your ride become rough, or have the engine, gearbox, and brakes become less responsive? Without regular preventative maintenance, any vehicle will gradually deteriorate. You’ll avoid this and keep your car or truck performing smoothly and reliably with the following Chevy maintenance schedule at our dealership.
Brake Inspections
Your brakes need to be inspected every six months or so. Brake pads and rotors must be replaced when they wear thin. During an inspection, our technicians can also check the brake fluid and lines, flushing old fluid or repairing damaged lines when required.
Motor Oil Changes
Your engine will last longer with routine oil changes, which need to be carried out twice a year for most drivers. Oil service typically includes replacing the oil filter. It’s wise to keep a close eye on your oil and refresh it as soon as you notice signs of degradation.
Wheel Alignments
You’ll keep your Chevy’s wheels straight and steering precise with a wheel alignment every six months. If you regularly drive off-road, you may need more frequent alignments than this.
Tire Rotations
As all car tires tend to wear unevenly, it’s essential to schedule regular tire rotations. If you have your tires swapped around twice a year, they’ll last longer and continue to grip the road firmly.
Paintwork Waxing
You’ll keep your Chevy’s gleaming exterior in great shape by waxing it twice each year. High-quality wax protects against corrosion and damage from the UV rays in sunlight.
Battery Tests
Your car battery should be tested twice a year and replaced as soon as it starts to weaken. Once a car passes three years of age, it’s advisable to have it tested twice as often.
Engine Tune Ups
Your engine’s spark plugs and ignition coils will need to be replaced periodically. Also, your fuel injectors require routine cleaning. A yearly tune-up of the engine and fuel system gives our technicians a chance to maintain these parts while optimizing the engine’s performance and fixing small faults early on.
Cooling System Inspection
Also, once a year, have your car’s cooling system thoroughly examined. We can pressure-test the radiator and check the coolant, which will need to be flushed every two or three years.
Transmission Checks
Healthy transmission fluid is vital for a smooth-shifting gearbox. Keep a close eye on this fluid and have your transmission inspected once a year as well.
Suspension Inspections
It’s also a good idea to have your entire suspension system inspected once a year. The earlier you catch small signs of wear in the shocks, struts, bushings, control arms, and ball joints, the easier they’ll be to repair and the smoother your car will drive.
