Chevy Summer Maintenance Tips
Brought to you by Victory Layne Chevrolet
When it comes to owning a Chevy model, we all know that these are vehicles that are capable for hanging around for years in the future. This is not a brand you commit to and end up having to go back on your word with. You will find that this is even more true when you spend the time maintaining your vehicle to ensure that the proper precautions have taken place to give it the best chance to succeed. We are very serious when it comes to preventive maintenance, which is why, as the weather starts to get even warmer this summer, you will want to take a few extra steps to make sure that your Chevy has all of the advantages it can get. We know, it’s Florida, it’s always warm, but summer in Florida is much different than the winter months. Keep reading down below to see how you can make sure that your Chevy is ready when the serious Florida heat arrives.
Check battery
While some people in the northern states might say that they have the most issues when it comes to car batteries, we can tell you without question that heat can be just as damaging. The weather in Florida can be punishing, and it’s a great idea to have an expert check out your battery to see if it can still hold its charge. Beyond that, you will also want to look over the connections and wires to see if there is any corrosion that is happening. Most of this can simply be cleaned up to avoid any incidents.
Change wiper blades
With the heat comes the inevitable, and well-known storms. Florida is just as well known for Disney as it is for the classic thunderstorm or even hurricane. You simply never want to be driving a Chevy that has wiper blades that leave streaks behind, impairing your vision. Wiper blades should be changed around every 6 months to make sure that they are giving you the best visibility imaginable. Switch out yours today, and you’ll notice the best driving experience you have ever had while owning a vehicle.
Monitor fluid levels
Something that every vehicle needs to be checked for is the fluid levels for all of the different fluids that help to keep your Chevy functioning the way it should be. Whether it’s transmission, windshield wiper fluid, motor oil, or anything else in-between, these different fluids need to be monitored and topped off if they start to run low. We are especially looking at coolant, which works hard to keep your engine cool, no matter the temperature that it is outside.
Proper tire inflation
Another unsung hero with every vehicle are the tires. This is what gives you traction, ensuring that no matter where you go, your vehicle will keep you safe at all times. Be sure to check the tire inflation to see if the tires of this vehicle are under or over inflated, both of which can cause problems.
