Top Maintenance Tips for Your Used Chevrolet Vehicle

One of the easiest ways to ensure that your engine stays running at peak performance also happens to be one of the most important steps you can take to protect your vehicle. Routine engine oil and engine oil filter changes are essential for internal protection against harmful heat and friction, both of which can cause extensive damage without the lubrication provided by engine oil. Changing your oil as recommended by the manufacturer, typically recommended every 5,000-7,500 miles, is a simple step you can take to keep your engine protected. A quick visit to any of our Schumacher service centers can have you in and out in a timely fashion!

As the only thing separating you from the road surface, your tires play a huge role in how well your vehicle performs on a daily basis along with how safe you stay behind the wheel. Since they’re such an important part of your vehicle, it’s important to take the time to ensure they stay in good condition for as long as possible. Tire rotations are an easy step to ensure proper tire wear and maximum performance in all types of weather conditions. Usually recommended with each oil change, a tire rotation is a simple and cost-effective way to save money on tires while staying safe in the long run. 

Having fresh air inside your vehicle is something you’ll always appreciate, especially in the summer or winter months when driving with the windows up. In case you were unaware, the vast majority of modern Chevrolet vehicles come equipped with an onboard cabin air filter. This filter is responsible for keeping contaminants and debris out of your vehicle’s HVAC system and air vents. Over time and as the miles add up, this filter can become clogged or contaminated and require replacement. Fortunately, replacements are typically fairly inexpensive and the replacement itself only takes a matter of minutes without the need for any special tools. You can take care of this simple replacement yourself or let our team of factory-trained technicians handle the job for you. 

There’s no better feeling than driving a vehicle that’s been freshly washed and vacuumed. In addition to that rewarding feeling, making an effort to clean the exterior and interior of your vehicle is a great way to preserve your investment for years to come. Especially here in New Jersey, the exterior of your vehicle can take a beating from sun exposure, road grime, road salt, environmental contaminants, and more. Left uncleaned, this can dull your paint and cause corrosion. Similarly, leaving stains or grime on the upholstery of the interior of your vehicle can cause long-term damage and premature wear. Whether you perform this job in your own driveway or you prefer to let our team of detailing professionals handle the work – keeping your used Chevrolet clean is something that both you and your vehicle will reap the benefits of.
