Spring Service and Maintenance in Lisle, IL
When spring arrives in the Lisle area, you’ll want to come to our nearby dealership, Bill Kay Chevrolet, so that our technicians can prepare your vehicle for the upcoming seasons! For more details about this, we’ve created this brief overview below for you to partake in!
Cabin Air Filter
Something many take notice of during the springtime is the increased amount of allergens in the air. Plants will be coming out of hibernation to propagate pollen, which can pose a significant issue for those susceptible to these factors. For that reason, it’s always important to make sure your cabin air filter is ready to take on these factors. This component should be replaced once every two years, or 30,000 miles. When you stop by our dealership, you’ll even find various types, such as the standard particulate filter, the carbon-activated variant, and even an anti-microbial version. Speak with our team to learn which will be best suited for your future endeavors across I-355.
Tire Rotation
During the winter season, it’s likely that your tires have taken quite a beating. Salt, mud, and other rubble on the ground can wear away at their surfaces, especially the front set, since they carry the weight of the engine. So when spring finally comes around, we recommend getting a tire rotation at our Service Department. We generally recommend doing so once every 7,500 miles, though you may want to consult your Owner’s Manual before doing so. Did you switch to a set of winter tires in the few months prior? In that case, you will want to consider getting summer tires instead, as they will provide more stable handling as well as increased efficiency.
Windshield Wipers and Fluid Checks
Since they’ve likely had to deal with clearing away snow and debris in the winter, it’s likely that the rubber atop your windshield wipers has begun to wear. If they are showing cracks and you hear scraping sounds while they are in use, it may be time to have them replaced. We also recommend checking on the various fluids your model uses in order to keep the engine cool, namely oil and coolant. It’s also a good idea to have the quality of the brake fluid verified, as any unwelcome air bubbles can significantly reduce the effectiveness of this model’s stopping force. Schedule a service appointment so that your rides to Gelwicks Park remain without worry!
