Winter Chevy Service Preparation
Subzero temperatures and slippery roads put vehicles to the test during Illinois winters. That's why Arnie Bauer Chevrolet GMC has developed a winter auto service routine that covers your car's most vulnerable systems. Here is what we suggest focusing your maintenance efforts on this winter:
- Start with a car battery test and buy an OEM GM battery replacement if needed, as cold temperatures can dramatically decrease electrical power.
- Inspect your tires, check tread depth and monitor for irregular wear, and ask us about winter and other new Chevy tire options.
- Evaluate heating systems and defrosters so that you stay warm and your windows stay clear even on the coldest commutes.
Spring Chevy Maintenance Services
As winter thaws, spring is the time to address cold-weather wear and prepare for changing conditions. Our spring car maintenance services at Arnie Bauer Chevrolet GMC target systems most affected by Illinois winters. We'll do all the following when you bring us your car as the days lengthen and the weather improves:
- Check and top off all essential fluids -- engine oil, brake, transmission and washer fluids -- for smooth spring driving.
- Perform a Chevy brake inspection that assesses pads, rotors and brake lines for safety.
- Inspect cabin filters and engine air cleaning elements, replacing with OEM GM parts if necessary.
Summer Chevy Maintenance
Illinois summers bring humidity and heat -- factors that can strain your car's systems. Our summer car care services are crafted for dependable hot-weather driving. Here's what we suggest if you're booking summer auto maintenance:
- A Chevy air conditioning system inspection in Wilmington that checks the refrigerant, compressors and belts.
- Vehicle cooling system maintenance so that your vehicle's radiator, water pump, hoses and coolant levels can beat the heat without worry.
- Tire pressure and wear checks to ensure your tires are ready for summer adventures.
Fall Chevy Service Solutions
Just before temperatures drop, our fall Chevy maintenance checklist gears you and your vehicle up for colder months. Here are our recommendations for fall auto service:
- A Chevy oil change in Wilmington keeps your engine protected with the right lubricants.
- A Wiper blade service and washer system inspection ensures you're ready for fall rainstorms and early frost.
- A cabin heating system check looks for potential problems before winter temperatures hit in full force.
