Getting fluid changes, replacing wear-and-tear parts, and making sure all the systems in your car run smoothly all help your used vehicle last longer. Let's take a look at some of the most important Chevy services that'll keep your car working for many years to come. Oil Change Motor oil keeps your car running well, but the oil gets dirty over time and needs to be replaced. You need to get an oil change approximately twice a year or after every 5,000 to 7,500 miles you drive. Depending on the age of your model and what oil it uses, you may need to get oil changes more or less frequently. more Braking System Care Although modern vehicles have numerous tech-based safety features, your brakes remain the number one safety component in your car. That's why taking care of them is essential. Signs of faulty brakes include: Squealing and grinding brakes Spongy brake pedal Decreased brake performance Getting your braking system inspected regularly will help you find and fix those issues fast. Tire Care Having deep enough tire tread is a must, so check the tread depth at home or get the tread checked regularly by a professional. Get a new set of tires once you have too little tread to drive safely. You need at least 1/16 of an inch of tread at all times. Your tread also needs to wear down evenly. Getting regular wheel balancing and tire rotations leads to more even tread wear. It's wise to get a tire rotation every time you get an oil change. Fluid Checks Regularly check your car's fluid levels or have the levels checked by a professional. Brake fluid and transmission fluid levels should be checked every six months. Engine oil, power steering fluid, and coolant should be checked more regularly. Get the fluid levels topped up as needed. Preventative Maintenance Parts of your car can wear out and need to be replaced regularly. The air filter, fuel filter, belts, windshield wipers, spark plugs, and various other components should be replaced regularly. Filters can get clogged if they're not changed, while other parts can wear out and stop working properly. A damaged alternator belt or broken spark plugs may even prevent your car from starting.
