HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR CHEVY

If you own a Chevy, then you understand that this is a vehicle that has a reputation for durability, reliability, and power. You probably want your Chevy to run as long as possible, which is why you have to take care of it. At Buchanan Automotive, we are always available to help our drivers get as much use out of their vehicles as possible. It would be our pleasure to do the same for you. Take a look at some of the most important if you need to follow if you want to take care of your Chevy.

1. Stick To the Maintenance Schedule
First, you need to make sure that you stick to the recommended maintenance schedule if you want your Chevy to run for as long as possible. Every model is a bit different, so it is important for you to take a look at the documents that came with your vehicle. If you have questions about whether your vehicle is due for a maintenance check, give us a call to speak to our team. We would be happy to look up your model, take a look at the maintenance history of your car, and make sure you know exactly when to bring it back for another maintenance check.

2. Get the Car Detailed
When people think about car maintenance, they usually think about the engine, the oil, and the tires. Even though these are all very important parts of your car, you need to take care of the interior as well. Think about the wear and tear your car takes over the course of the year. If you want your car to maintain its value, you need to make sure that you take care of the interior. For example, you may need to get the leather upholstery touched up. Or, you may need a team that can help you get rid of some of the stains in the back of your car. If there is a strange odor coming from your car, the maintenance team can help you with that as well. Let us take care of the interior of your car.

3. Pay Attention to the Oil Changes and Tire Rotations
One of the most common maintenance tasks that you need to complete is an oil change and a tire rotation. You need to change the oil regularly because it is responsible for protecting your engine and preventing it from overheating. If you do not change the oil on time, you will place a lot of additional stress on your engine, which will make it hard for your car to run smoothly. You also need to rotate your tires. This is important for making sure they wear evenly. Rotating your tires will allow you to get as many years of use out of your tires as possible. You need to get the oil changed and tires rotated once per year or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes first.

4. Be Mindful of the Brakes
Finally, you need to be mindful of the brakes as well. If you want your car to stop as quickly as possible when you slam on the brakes, you need to take care of them. This means that you need to prevent the brake rotors from wearing down, change the brake pads on time, and make sure your brake fluid is at an appropriate level. If you have questions about how to take care of your brakes, the team from Buchanan Automotive would be happy to assist you.
