Keeping your Chevy in great shape requires regular maintenance, as even Chevy components will eventually wear out and need replacement. As your Chevy dealership, we want to tell you about some of the Chevy maintenance we provide to keep your vehicle working as perfectly as the day you bought it.
Battery Testing
A car battery weakens over time as the chemicals that allow it to store and supply electricity break down. This breakdown reduces the battery’s electricity storage capacity, making starting problems more frequent. The loss of storage capacity is hastened by extreme weather conditions or undiagnosed issues with your electrical system.
We can test your battery to determine its remaining life. Our technicians will hook your battery up to our computerized battery tester which subjects the battery to various stress tests. If your battery is healthy, we advise retesting it in a year. If your battery is weak or damaged, we can install a replacement while you wait.
Fluid Checks
Your Chevy contains numerous fluids. These fluids control the engine temperature, ensure the brakes work, allow the steering wheel to turn easily, and perform many other vital tasks. The most important of these fluids are power steering fluid, engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, and transmission fluid. Fluids gradually degrade, becoming less effective and reducing vehicle performance.
A fluid check involves one of our Chevy-trained technicians testing all the fluids to ensure they’re still in good condition. Some older fluids, like coolant, become corrosive and damage essential systems if not replaced. In addition, some fluids use filters to capture dirt and debris, and the filters are also checked and replaced as necessary.
Brake Servicing
Your Chevy’s brakes are designed to quickly and smoothly stop your vehicle. The braking system depends on pressure and friction to work effectively, which causes wear and tear over time. Worn or damaged brake components reduce braking effectiveness and increase your stopping distance, which makes accidents more likely.
We test all the brake system components and check them for damage. Some braking components, like the rotors, calipers, and brake lines, are exposed to water and mud, which can cause rust damage. In addition, leaks can develop due to worn seals or brake hoses, causing brake fluid loss and potential brake failure. Once our experts have serviced your brakes, you’ll drive away knowing they’ll work perfectly.
These are just a few of the many services we offer. In addition, we only use Chevy-approved replacement parts in all our work to ensure the highest quality and safety standards. If you’d like to know more about our services or to book a service, contact us today at Trapp Chevrolet in Houma, LA.
