Chevy Service FAQs

Why are Chevy oil changes so important?

Oil changes are probably among the most basic maintenance items on your car's recommended service schedule. They also count among the most important. Why? Oil is responsible for keeping your engine lubricated and cool. It serves to reduce friction, which also reduces heat and wear and tear. When it's dirty, it can't do its job as efficiently. In fact, driving with old, dirty oil can actually do more harm to your engine than good.

When should I get an oil change?

The good news is that the 3,000-mile oil change interval is largely a thing of the past for most cars. Nowadays, the typical vehicle requires an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. If you don't drive much, you should still schedule oil changes every six months or so because oil degrades over time, whether you drive or not.

How do I know when I need to replace my brakes?

If your brakes need service, you are likely to notice some warning signs. Brakes that need attention are often noisy, drawing attention to themselves with screeching, squealing, or grinding noises. You might also notice that your brake pedal feels a bit spongy when you press down on it. The user signs that your brakes need service, so please don't wait to reach out to us for a service appointment. There is no exact mileage interval regarding when to replace your brakes because the condition of your brakes depends so heavily on your driving habits. So, it's important to keep an eye out for common warning signs and bring your car in for regular brake inspections.

How can I tell if my Chevy needs a wheel alignment?

One of the most common signs that indicate that your Chevy has a wheel alignment issue is uneven tire wear. If your wheels are out of alignment, your tires are likely to sport wear patterns that are a little off-kilter. Your wheels can gradually fall out of alignment over time as you drive, but hitting the curb or driving over potholes can create a more immediate shift that can cause bigger problems. Fortunately, our service center here at our Chevy dealership has the tools and equipment needed to adjust your wheel alignment back to factory specifications.
