Your brand-new Chevrolet needs proper care to maintain its outstanding performance, efficiency, and reliability. That's why we recommend staying on top of essential maintenance services. Here are the crucial services you should get at your local Chevy dealership. Maintaining Your 2024 Chevrolet: Essential Maintenance Services From Your Chevy Dealership Oil Service Regular oil and filter changes keep your Chevy's engine running smoothly for years. Oil lubricates the engine, cools down moving components, and removes dirt and contaminants. You should get timely oil changes using the recommended type of oil in your owner's manual. We can also perform regular engine flushes to thoroughly clean the engine for optimal performance. Air Filter Replacement Your Chevy relies on two air filters to operate smoothly: the engine air and cabin air filters. The engine air filter cleans the air that mixes with fuel in the combustion chambers. The cabin air filter removes dust, exhaust smoke, and allergens from the air flowing into your cabin. You should change these two filters regularly to optimize engine performance and maintain the air quality in your cabin. Tire Maintenance Proper tire maintenance helps maintain smooth handling, safety, and ride comfort. We perform regular tire rotations, balancing, and alignments to promote even tread wear and proper handling. These services also optimize fuel efficiency and increase the lifespan of your tires. If you need new tires, we stock high-quality ones from leading manufacturers. During a tire service, we can also inspect your Chevy's tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) if it's not detecting low tire pressure. Brake Service Brakes require proper care because they are among your Chevy's most crucial safety components. After miles of use, brake components like the pads and rotors wear out due to friction. This reduces braking power, increases stopping distance, and exposes you to the risk of accidents. Schedule regular brake inspections with our technicians to keep your brakes in excellent condition. We will replace worn components with genuine OEM ones to maintain optimal braking performance. If you get the ABS or brake warning light on the dashboard, schedule a brake service immediately. Check Engine Light Diagnosis A check engine light can be caused by engine issues like faulty sensors, spark plugs, sensors, and emission components. If you get this warning light, bring your Chevy to the dealership for a professional diagnosis. Our technicians use a scanner to read error codes from your Chevy's on-board computer. Once we identify the defective components, we will replace them with OEM ones to restore your engine's performance. Stay on top of regular maintenance to maintain that new-car feel and performance in your Chevy. Contact Park Hills Chevrolet in Park Hills, MO to schedule routine service with our certified technicians.
