Essential Chevy Maintenance for Autumn

Believe it or not, autumn is just around the corner. The changing seasons represent an excellent opportunity to take stock of your Chevrolet vehicle and ensure that everything is in top condition. Here at Scott Chevrolet, the mechanics at our Chevy service center are ready to get your vehicle prepared for autumn.

Fluid Check

The various fluids in your Chevy car lubricate, cool, and perform other vital functions that allow it to run smoothly and safely. Our mechanics will make sure that the following fluids are at their adequate levels:

• Coolant
• Engine oil
• Brake fluid
• Automatic transmission fluid
• Power steering fluid
• Transmission fluid

With winter coming sooner than you think, it’s also an excellent time to consider switching to a cold-weather formulation of wiper fluid from our Chevy parts department.

Tire Inspection

Autumn temperature fluctuations can cause your tire pressure to fluctuate. Our mechanics will ensure that your tire pressure is adequate, as well as make sure that they have the proper tread depth.

Light Inspection

Because the sun sets earlier in the autumn, you’ll be using your car’s lights more often. A non-functional light usually indicates a burnt-out bulb. Check your vehicle’s interior and exterior lights, replacing them as needed.

Make Sure the Heater is Working

If you’re like most drivers, you didn’t turn on your car’s heater at all during the summer. Soon, the weather will cool down, and you’ll be reaching for the heat dial. Our mechanics will ensure that your heater is ready to handle autumn temperatures.

We’ve only begun to cover the types of maintenance our mechanics will perform during your autumn service appointment. Schedule Chevy service today at Scott Chevrolet.
