The best way to keep your Chevy in great shape is with regular servicing and maintenance. As your Chevy dealer, we provide the complete range of maintenance for your model, performed by Chevy-trained experts. We want to give you a few Chevrolet service tips that extend vehicle longevity and allow it to work at peak performance.
Regular Battery Testing
The battery is one of your vehicle’s most essential components, providing the electrical charge that starts your Chevy. As time passes, the chemicals that enable the battery to store and supply electricity gradually break down. This process is naturally occurring and results in the battery losing storage capacity until it can’t retain enough power to start the engine.
Battery testing helps prevent the stress of a dead battery. The average battery lifespan is three to five years, so we advise testing your battery when it reaches its third year. We connect your battery to our computerized battery tester, and this machine subjects it to several stress tests. If your battery is healthy, we’ll retest it in a year. If the battery is failing, we can replace it while you wait.
Brake Servicing
Healthy brakes are vital for driving safety, enabling you to control your speed and stop whenever needed. They depend on force and pressure to slow and stop the wheels. These conditions generate heat that causes additional wear and tear. Worn brake components increase stopping distance and responsiveness, and this can cause an accident.
Brake servicing allows our technicians to replace worn or damaged parts, keeping the brakes working efficiently. Our technicians also check and test all system components, and they will identify minor issues that can be repaired before they become potentially dangerous problems. During a service, we also replace the brake fluid, as older fluid can overheat and cause brake failure.
Oil Replacement
Oil is vital for protecting your engine. It lubricates all engine components, wrapping them in a protective coating so they work efficiently and suffer less friction damage. The fast-moving oil also helps cool the engine, allowing it to work efficiently. In addition, oil contains various additives that keep the engine clean, prevent rust, and break down potentially harmful engine deposits.
The oil is slowly consumed as it works, and it will thicken as it ages and move slower. Old, slow-moving oil increases wear and tear on the engine components, leading to increased repair bills. We’ll drain and replace the old oil and install a new oil filter, so the oil will flow freely.
