Chevrolet Winter Maintenance near Naperville, IL
As most drivers already know, winter brings a slew of conditions that can make it difficult to comfortably navigate Naperville. Because of this, our team at Bill Kay Chevrolet are eager to offer your vehicle the services it needs to help it ride confidently throughout town.
Outer Shell
Your tires are your direct connection with the ground below. Because of this, it’s all the more important that you pay attention to the condition of these components. Whenever the front pair begins to wear to a certain point, you should have them rotated at our location. This should be done around every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for a Chevrolet model. And if your vehicle is equipped with summer tires, then it’s important you swap these out for all-season or winter tires, depending on your specific needs. Don’t forget to get your windshield wipers checked on so that you can continue enjoying a clear view ahead as you cruise down Route 30.
Under the Hood
There are numerous components found under the hood that our Service Department recommends you have regularly checked on, especially in the winter. For instance, coolant is responsible for keeping your vehicle at a low enough temperature to prevent overheating, yet warm enough to continue functioning. This delicate temperature regulation can become imbalanced whenever your coolant is in bad condition, so be sure to have it replaced around every 30,000. In the same vein, your engine’s oil also helps keep it cooled, but this can be disrupted by the cold. That’s why you should have a fresh supply installed around every 7,000 to 10,000 miles.
Cabin
Ensuring that you are comfortable in your vehicle throughout the year, it is important that you have systems such as the air conditioning regularly checked on. That way, you can keep warm in the face of dropping temperatures. Be sure to address this configuration every one to two years. Having a quality supply of air is also important, so replace your cabin air filter every 15,000 miles. There are multiple types of this component, so consider speaking with our team to learn which best suits your needs.
