Routine maintenance reduces repair costs by preventing minor issues from turning into major problems. As your Chevy dealer, we want to tell you about some of the types of Chevy maintenance we provide.
Failed Water Pump
The water pump’s job is to push coolant through your engine to control the temperature. Coolant is a mixture of water and antifreeze, and it absorbs heat from the engine and then transports it to the radiator, where the heat is removed by heat exchange. The pump starts when the coolant is released and continues to run until the engine temperature drops below a preset level.
A pump can wear out naturally or fail due to a blown fuse or electrical fault. If the pump isn’t working, coolant will still be released but won’t move through the system. Your engine will rapidly overheat and could suffer serious damage. If your engine temperature rises for no apparent reason, contact us right away. We’ll repair or replace the pump, and your engine temperature will drop to normal again.
Air Filter Replacement
Your Chevy has two air filters, the engine and cabin air filters. The cabin air filter traps pollen and dirt to prevent these contaminants from entering the cabin and causing allergic reactions or other issues. The engine air filter removes leaves, dirt, and other debris to ensure only clean air enters the engine. Like all filters, they will eventually become blocked and need replacement.
A clogged engine air filter reduces engine performance, as air is essential for combustion. Without air, the fuel-air mixture required for combustion will become fuel-rich. Your engine uses more fuel and suffers increased wear. A blocked cabin air filter will make the cabin air smell stale and can cause allergic reactions. We can replace blocked filters in minutes, and these problems will disappear.
Transmission Servicing
The transmission works with your engine to move your Chevy. It takes the engine’s energy and directs it to the wheels, allowing them to move at the required speed. A service rejuvenates your transmission by replacing any worn parts and ensuring all its components work as effectively as possible. On average, a service should be performed every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, but this can vary depending on your Chevy model.
Our technicians check all components to make sure they’re in good condition. They drain the old transmission fluid and replace the filter. The transmission seals are checked for leaks, resealed, and then refilled with fluid. The casing is then cleaned to prevent dirt or debris from potentially entering the transmission and causing damage.
