Chevrolet maintenance is performed by Chevy-trained technicians using only Chevy-approved replacement parts. It’s the best type of service available to ensure your Chevy receives the level of care and attention that will keep it working efficiently and extend its lifespan. As your Chevy dealer, we want to tell you about some of the types of maintenance we provide.
Shock Replacement
Shocks aren’t something that most drivers think about, but they work continually to provide a smooth ride wherever you are. The shocks absorb and dissipate the up-and-down movement caused by driving over rough surfaces or potholes. This cushioning effect protects numerous components from vibration damage and lets you enjoy a drive without bouncing up and down.
Your shocks will wear out over time and need replacement after 50,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on your model. If your shocks are worn, your front may point downward when you brake, or you may see the rear leans down when you park. Driving will become bumpier and increase wear and tear on other components like the tires and axles. We’ll examine your shocks and replace them if needed, and you’ll enjoy a more comfortable ride.
Brake Pad Replacement
Brake pads are a relatively small component, but play a vital role in your braking system. They fit into the calipers and are forced against the spinning wheel rotors when you brake. Each pad has a rough material covering that produces friction, and this friction slows and stops your wheels. The material covering gradually wears down, and worn pads reduce braking speed and increase braking distance.
If the brake pad light on your dash illuminates or you hear screeching noises when you brake, it’s time to visit us for new pads. Pad replacement is quick and can be completed while you wait. Replacing your pads makes driving safer, improves fuel efficiency, and reduces wear and tear on other components like axles and shocks.
Coolant Replacement
Coolant is pumped through your engine and absorbs heat, which is then transported to the radiator and removed by heat exchange. Heat removal is essential, as a high engine temperature can damage sensitive seals and gaskets. Older coolant is less efficient at heat removal and becomes corrosive, which can lead to engine damage.
Our technicians drain the old coolant, then add fresh coolant mixed with a conditioner to clean the cooling system. We then drain this mixture and refill your engine with fresh coolant.
