As your Chevy dealer, we offer a complete range of services to ensure your vehicle always works at its best. Servicing improves your Chevy’s performance and reduces future repairs. We want to tell you about a few of the types of Chevy service we provide.
3 Types of Chevy Service Available at Your Chevy Dealer
Radiator Servicing
The radiator is the heart of your Chevy’s cooling system. Engine heat is absorbed by liquid coolant and transported to the radiator when the heat is removed by airflow through the radiator grille. A radiator operates at high temperatures and pressure, and over time, this causes parts to wear out or get damaged. A service restores the radiator’s health and allows it to continue to work efficiently.
During a service, we examine and test all the cooling system’s components, ranging from the thermostat to the water pump. The system, including the radiator hoses, is tested for leaks to ensure that it remains airtight to keep the coolant pressurized. We drain the old coolant and replace it, and we also ensure the radiator is clean, debris-free, and working smoothly.
Tire Rotations
The tires are one of the hardest working parts on your Chevy. They’re subject to continuous wear and tear due to surface friction. In addition, they are gradually weakened by exposure to water, mud, and UV rays. Each tire suffers additional wear on certain areas depending on the tire’s position on your vehicle.
A tire rotation helps to reduce wear damage by shifting each tire to a new position. The new positions the tires move to depend on the type of drivetrain you have. This equalizes wearing and helps all your tires to wear down at a relatively uniform rate. Reducing tire damage allows your tires to last longer, giving you more time to prepare for their eventual replacement.
Fluid Checks
Your Chevy has a wide range of fluids that keep the engine clean, control its temperature, and allow the transmission and brakes to work effectively. All fluids lose their effectiveness over time, and some older fluids can even cause engine damage if they’re not replaced. The most important fluids in your Chevy, after the fuel, are engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, and brake fluid.
Our technicians will check all your fluid levels and top them up if necessary. If a fluid needs replacement, we’ll drain the old fluid and refill it. Some fluids, like transmission fluid and engine oil, have filters, and we replace their filters when we replace the fluid. Fresh fluids allow your vehicle’s systems to operate more efficiently, reducing wear and tear and extending your Chevy’s life.
