If you’d like to keep your vehicle in the best condition you can, then you should be visiting the Chevy dealer at least twice a year. There are certain services you need every few months, while others are required less frequently. Let’s take a look at some of the most common forms of maintenance that your car needs and see where they fit in on your Chevy maintenance schedule.
Oil Changes
Modern vehicles can go a long time between oil changes depending on the type of oil they use. It’s very common to need an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, which usually means you’ll be getting an oil change twice a year at minimum. Oil changes are one of the most important services to get, as keeping fresh motor oil running through your engine is essential to keeping the engine running efficiently and prolonging its lifespan.
Tire Rotations
Like oil changes, tire rotations are often performed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. If you’re driving an all-wheel-drive vehicle, the service is necessary every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. This makes it convenient to visit the dealership for an oil change, tire rotation, filter changes, and some essential vehicle checks at the same time. Requesting basic or interim service is a good idea when it’s time for a tire rotation and oil change.
Battery Service
Your battery should be inspected once or twice a year. If you visit for basic service approximately every six months, then it can be checked on frequently. One of your annual service appointments should be for a full service instead of a basic service. Your battery can be checked more thoroughly during a full service. Your battery also needs to be replaced every three to five years to prevent breakdowns.
Brake Service
It’s wise to get your brakes checked every time you stop by the dealer, even if your brakes seem fine. The front, rear, and parking brakes will always be checked during a full service. You should also get major service every two years, as it includes more comprehensive brake maintenance. Your brake pads and discs will likely be replaced every two years during major service, as will many other parts in your car that are a little worn out.
