Chevrolet Winter Maintenance Tips

Recommended Winter Maintenance Services

• Tire Inspection: Winter maintenance should include a tire inspection. Certified Chevrolet tire inspections include an irregular treadwear evaluation, valve stem, sidewall damage check, air pressure adjustment, and tread depth measurement.
• Battery Inspection and Testing: Extreme heat causes rapid battery decline, but your battery needs to be at peak performance when ambient temperatures approach and drop below freezing. Ensure that your battery is at its best with a battery inspection and electrical test. Replace batteries with physical defects or a failed electrical test.
• Brake Inspection: Chevrolet recommends a four-wheel brake system inspection, including a brake pad measurement to ensure safety.
• Wiper Blades Inspection and Replacement: Be sure to check the windshield wiper blades, and replace them if they are over a year old, leave heavy film/streaks, or have any kind of rubber damage.
• HVAC Inspection: You need a sound heating system when it gets cold, so winter maintenance should include a quick check of the A/C, heater, defroster, seat warmers, and steering wheel warmers.
• Coolant/Antifreeze Inspection and Exchange: Chevrolet recommends checking the coolant/antifreeze, topping it off as needed, and exchanging if contaminated or at the recommended interval.
• Roadside Safety Kit: Always have a roadside safety kit prepared. Contact us if you need assistance securing a GM-certified roadside safety kit from the accessories department.
• Check for Maintenance Interval: Drivers should check their vehicles’ maintenance schedule and odometer and schedule service if recommended maintenance is due.
