Regular maintenance enables your Chevy to perform at its best and prevents most engine problems, which are usually caused by worn or damaged parts. As your Chevy dealer, we offer a complete range of services tailored to your model. These are some of the types of Chevy maintenance we provide.
Fluid Checks
There are many types of fluids in your Chevy, and each has an essential role that contributes to your Chevy’s performance. The most important fluids are brake fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, oil, and power steering fluid. These fluids become less effective as they age, and oil is also slowly consumed as it lubricates the engine components.
Transmission fluid, for example, supplies less hydraulic power to shift the gears, which increases wear and tear on transmission components. Coolant slowly turns corrosive, damaging the cooling system and contributing to engine overheating. We test each fluid, then drain it and replace it. We also replace the filters in any system that uses them, like the oil and transmission filters.
Battery Replacement
The battery’s main purpose is to supply the electrical charge that starts your engine. Its secondary role is to supply power to the electrical system when the engine is switched off. The battery chemicals gradually break down over time, and since the chemicals don’t recombine, the battery gradually looks capacity and recharging becomes slower and more difficult.
On average, a new battery will work effectively for up to five years before it needs replacement. This timeframe can be reduced due to extreme weather conditions, electrical problems, or other engine issues. Our technicians can test your battery to determine its health and potential longevity. If your battery is damaged or failing, we’ll install a replacement in minutes.
Brake Pad Replacement
The brake pads fit into the brake calipers and friction is generated when the pads are forced against the moving wheel rotors. This friction slows and rotors, which brings your wheels to a halt. The material covering a pad is 1/2″ thick when it is new, but it gradually wears down each time you hit the brakes. A worn pad is less effective at stopping a wheel rotor, and your braking distance will increase.
Brake pads should be examined every 10,000 miles and replaced after 30,000 miles, although these requirements may differ for your Chevy model. The recommended replacement time is listed in your car manual. The pads may also need replacement if you hear screeching or squeaking noises. We’ll examine your pads and replace them if necessary.
