For many southern California drivers, summer is a time for road trips, driving the kids and their friends around town, and cruising down the highway in a Chevy convertible. Summer has arrived here in the Van Nuys area, but it is not too late to get your Chevy car ready for the season. Here at the Chevy service center at Keyes Chevrolet, our team of friendly Chevy mechanics is ready to get your car in top condition for summer. Here are some services that we’ll perform during your checkup.
Summer Car Care Tips
As you likely already know, summer in Van Nuys is hot, sunny, and dry. These conditions all take a toll on your Chevy car’s essential operating systems. By getting the following services performed, your car will run smoothly and safely throughout the summer and fall.
- Oil and filter change: Intense weather conditions of any kind can put extra demands on your oil and oil filter. A clean filter means more harmful debris and dirt is getting picked up, which leads to a smoother running engine.
- Fluid level top-off: Whether you’re driving a Chevy Blazer or other Chevy vehicle, seasonal changes can lead to low transmission fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, and even windshield wiper fluid. Coolant is especially important during the summer, as it keeps your engine from overheating.
- Alignment check: If your car pulls to one side, your steering wheel vibrates, or your steering wheel isn’t centered when you’re driving straight, it’s time for alignment services. Proper alignment can help extend the life of your tires, make for a smoother ride, and help you save at the pump.
