Summer Maintenance Tips at Stephanie Morris Chevrolet

Our Top Eight Tips for Preparing Your Chevrolet for the Summer

1. A/C System Inspection: The hotter it gets, the more you need your A/C to give you its all during the summer. We’ll look over the A/C system and find anything that needs attention.
2. Headlight, Taillight, and High Beam Inspection: External lights are a feature that helps us see in the nighttime and signal to other vehicles at all times, so it’s best to make sure they’re in good shape for when you’re driving more in the summer.
3. Battery Inspection: This service is especially good for road trips, as you want to ensure that your battery will work over a long time. We’ll find any problems with your battery’s externals and tell you what needs to be addressed.
4. Battery Testing: Another good way to know that your battery will be there for you is to test it and make sure it’s got the life left in it that you need. Our technicians will check the battery’s ability to receive, give, and store charge.
5. Engine Performance Check: When it comes to your engine’s performance, the intake and outtake are vital determinants of your engine’s power. That’s why we check the air filters (intake) and the PCV valve (outtake) of your engine.
6. Tire Tread Inspection: Your tire treads can get dangerously thin after driving through spring rains, and we’re here to check and make sure your tires will last through the summer safely.
7. Tire Pressure Inspection: Tire pressure is important to the health of your tires, so we’ll add or release air as necessary.
8. Cooling System Inspection: Your engine needs to stay cool during the summer as well, so we’ll look over your hoses, radiator, and coolant pump so that you know it can do its job in the summer heat.
