Prepare Your Chevrolet for Summer Travel in Lisle, IL
Road trips beckon, so answer the call to adventure this summer! There are many ways to prepare your vehicle for the season, so learn more in this overview. Then, visit Bill Kay Chevrolet’s Service Department to get maintenance for your car.
A/C Check
When summer arrives, temperatures rise quickly here in Lisle. For that reason, you should be sure that your car’s air conditioning system is functioning at full capacity. Fortunately, we at Bill Kay Chevrolet have a well-equipped service team who can inspect the cooling setup in your Chevy Trax, Silverado 1500, or Trailblazer. Visit us as soon as you can if you notice that your car doesn’t produce the cold air you desire or if the breeze from the vents has ceased. We’ll first check the cabin filter for obstructions, as this can stop any air from making it through. Then, we can measure the refrigerant in the system to see if it has become depleted or has a leak. You can then resume your I-88 adventures with a cool cabin.
Windshield Wipers
Summer weather brings with it sudden storms and rain showers. That makes quality windshield wipers as important as ever, so get a new set from the Parts Department at our location. We have a wide variety of types and sizes to fit your car. Our team recommends getting replacement wiper blades if your current ones don’t fully clear rain or dirt from the front glass. If you notice an area being skipped or hear a scraping noise as they operate, drop by as soon as you can. It’s also possible to perform a quick visual inspection by looking for chips and peeling rubber. Be sure that you aren’t using winter wipers in the summer, since they aren’t designed for hot temperatures.
Tire Inspection
Traffic can arise at any time near Chicago, so it’s a good idea to be prepared to stop at a moment’s notice. To that end, having a set of reliable tires is essential. They typically last for about four to five years, but this can vary depending on your driving habits. If the tread has worn down too much, it will impair your ability to slow down, so have our team inspect them when you visit our nearby location. We can also perform tire rotations if you want your current set to last longer. If you’ve experienced a flat tire, we may be able to repair the damage if it’s small enough. Check out our Tire Center if you want to get performance tires for your next road trip!
