OEM Chevy Replacement Parts
We stock a large variety of OEM Chevy parts and accessories. Our inventory includes parts that need to be replaced regularly, such as brake pads. It also includes headlights, seat covers, floor mats, and anything else you might need. If we don't have the part you need in stock, we can special-order it for you.
Using OEM replacement parts for all your Chevy repairs is essential because only OEM parts are of the same quality as the original parts. OEM parts are designed to work with your model and are guaranteed to fit. OEM parts also come with a warranty. If you don't want to risk voiding the warranty on your vehicle, using genuine Chevy parts is the best option.
Routine Oil Changes for Your Chevy
Routine oil changes prevent excessive wear and tear on your car and protect the engine against corrosion. The oil helps cool the engine components and prevents friction. When the engine oil gets old or dirty, it doesn't keep the engine as clean as it should be.
Scheduling regular oil changes can improve your gas mileage and even extend the life of your engine. It's one way to reduce costly repairs down the road. While older vehicles require an oil change every 3,000 miles, that's not necessarily the case with newer cars.
Newer models have built-in sensors that monitor your car's oil levels and condition. These sensors will alert you when it's time for an oil change, which is convenient for you and reduces oil waste. If you drive an older model, our Chevy technicians can help you determine how often you need to schedule an oil change.
Keep Your Brakes Serviced
Brake pads wear down over time. Fortunately, the brake pads themselves alert you when it's time for a replacement. If you notice any whistling, chirping, or grinding sounds when you brake, it indicates you need your brakes serviced. Worn brake pads are usually the cause, but there might also be a problem with your Chevy vehicle's rotors.
We recommend including an inspection of your brakes as part of regular maintenance for your vehicle. You should also have your brakes checked before going on an extended trip.
Tire Maintenance
It is best to inspect your tires regularly to ensure you replace them before your vehicle becomes unsafe to drive. If you have a 2/32-inch tire tread depth or lower, you will see the tread wear indicators on the tire. Other warning signs include bulges, splits, or cracks in the tire.
One thing you can do to make your tires last longer is to keep the tire pressure at optimal levels. Under- and over-inflated tires can cause irregular wear and tear and make it more difficult to handle your car. You also risk damaging your tires, which may even lead to a tire blowout. Most vehicles have tire pressure sensors that alert you to tire pressure changes, especially with changes in outside temperature.
If you need to inflate one of your tires more than once within a few days or weeks, you probably have a slow leak. If that's the case, it's time to take your Chevy in and get the tire repaired or replaced. During your maintenance appointment, we can also help you rotate your tires to ensure even wear on all your tires.
Car Battery Replacement
Car batteries can last for several years. When they go out, it's usually at the most inconvenient times. Our technicians will check your battery during routine maintenance appointments to ensure it's in good shape. When it's time for a new battery, we can help you find the best replacement for your vehicle.
Schedule Your Chevy Maintenance Soon
Regular maintenance appointments are vital to keeping your car running smoothly. Consistent oil changes and inspections also help you maintain the value of your vehicle and keep you safe. Keeping records of your maintenance appointments keeps any existing warranties valid and benefits your car's resale value.
