Chevrolet Car Maintenance Tips for Summer

Summer is a great time to get on top of your Chevrolet car maintenance. With the warmer months ready to put your vehicle through its paces, you’ll want everything to be running its best. Here are some service tips that can help you ensure that your car is happy and healthy all summer long.

Keep Tabs on Your Car’s Health

While most maintenance should be performed by our team of service professionals, it is helpful to test out your performance at home to catch any issues early. Turn on your air conditioning and keep an eye out for any unusual sounds, smells, or smoke, and make sure it starts producing cold air quickly. Taking your car around the block a few times, paying attention to any unusual feedback when braking or accelerating, can also help our team find issues quicker.

Come In for a Tune-Up

Summer is a great time to come in for a complete tune-up. Your oil needs to be changed if you switched to one with a lighter weight for winter, and it may be time to change it regardless. Batteries go dead in the summer just as easily as in the winter, so have us make sure your voltage is where it should be.

If you’ve noticed any other performance issues, make sure to mention them to our service team.

Get a Good Wash

Giving your car a good wash isn’t just about aesthetics — it also prevents decay and rust. Salt, dirt, and other particulates kicked up from the road during the winter months stick to the paint, ultimately causing unsightly holes. If you’re washing manually, give the undercarriage some attention, too.
