Fall Routine Maintenance
Leaves are falling and temperatures are dropping, which can only mean one thing, fall is coming! With the excitement of a new season, it is important now more than ever to stay on top of your vehicle’s well being.
The DeFOUW Chevrolet service center is here to guide you through routine fall maintenance to ensure the changing seasons don’t interfere with your driving plans.
Oil Maintenance
Cooler temperatures can impact the fluids in your vehicle causing it to not run properly. We encourage you to follow the routine oil change schedule to ensure your vehicle is able to run correctly. As an extra precaution, regularly check your oil levels to avoid any unexpected issues.
Check Your Battery
Being aware of what goes on under the hood of your Chevy helps you take proactive steps to maintain your vehicle. A new season is a prime opportunity to check out what’s going on with your battery, be sure to look for proper terminal connections.
No need to worry if you find corrosion. First try and clean it out to keep further build up. If that doesn’t solve the issue, DeFOUW Chevrolet will take care of all of your battery needs.
Check Your Tires
With the potential for more hazards, such as leaves or ice, on the road it is important to ensure your tires have the proper grip. To check your tire tread, put a penny head side down in your tires, if you can see the top of the head, your tread is low.
We encourage you to regularly check your tire tread and pressure, which can be impacted by cooler weather conditions.
Inspect Your Brakes
Ice, rain, snow, or leaves on the ground may require more frequent braking. Listen to your vehicle for any unusual sounds while you brake. Noises or slower braking times are indicators your vehicle needs brake maintenance.
