Maintaining Your Chevy: Ultimate Service Checklist

Chevrolet produces some of America’s most durable and reliable vehicles, but all cars need proper upkeep. If you follow the essential service checklist below, your Chevy will keep running smoothly for its longest possible lifespan. The experts at your local Chevy dealership can carry out each service, tuning up your car, fixing faults early on, and maximizing your long-run driving pleasure.

Maintaining Your Chevy: Ultimate Service Checklist

Brake Inspections

Your brakes must be kept firm with biannual inspections by a professional. Whenever a brake pad, brake rotor, or brake line, shows signs of extensive wear, have it replaced.

Tire Rotations

Tires wear down unevenly over time. Our technicians can rotate your tires to prevent them from growing too uneven. We can also replace your tires once the treads wear too thin.

Motor Oil Changes

When lubricated with high-quality motor oil, your car’s engine will perform optimally and stay in prime condition. To achieve this, motor oil must be changed twice a year or more frequently. 

Fluid Top-Ups

Learn the appropriate checking and flushing schedule for each of your car’s vital fluids. This will typically include the coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluids, differential fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield wiper fluid. Your owner’s manual will provide the necessary details.

Air Filter Replacements

Your car’s engine is also protected by the air filter. This filter keeps debris out of the engine but gradually gets clogged. You’ll usually need to replace both your engine and cabin air filters once a year. 

Windshield Wiper Renewals

New windshield wipers usually need to be installed before and after winter. Durable winter wipers are better suited to the cold; following winter, they’re often worn down enough to require replacements. 

Battery Installations

Car batteries also suffer during winter, so check your battery’s condition before the coldest months set in. Most car batteries are no longer useful after about three to six years.

Spark Plug Changes

Different types of spark plugs have differing useful lifespans. Check the type and expected duration of your plugs and replace them as required. If your engine starts misfiring, it’s often time for new spark plugs. 

Belt Replacements 

The timing belt and serpentine belt are essential for the performance of the engine, alternator, air conditioner, and other important components. Keep an eye on these belts and renew them when they show signs of age.
