While Chevrolet cars are known for their reliability and long lifespan, how you drive can significantly impact how often you need Chevrolet service. Follow these driving tips and come in for regular check-ups at Phelps Chevrolet to keep your car running for years to come.
Brake Repair
Your brakes perform a high-stress job and so naturally wear out over time, but how you drive can reduce your issues—or increase them. When you slam on the brakes, your brake pads have to work harder to bring you to a stop, increasing the amount of wear and tear. Driving carefully, keeping your brake fluid topped up, and regularly replacing brake pads can all help reduce issues.
Tire Replacement
Tires undergo even more regular wear and tear than brakes, but again, you can limit how often they need to be replaced. Pay attention to the changing weather and regularly test and adjust your tire pressure to make sure you’re not running on overinflated tires during the hot summer months. Don’t skip regular tire rotation, either, as it will distribute wear more evenly and keep your tires running longer.
Engine Issues
If you’re not keeping up with your fluid levels, you are forcing your engine to work harder and putting more strain on the moving parts. Come in for all regularly scheduled oil changes to keep your engine oil clean and functional. Engine coolant, transmission fluid, and power-steering fluid should also be regularly checked to keep your engine working its best.
