This inspection ensures that the Chevy CPO car does not have existing mechanical problems. During a Chevy CPO inspection, you’ll want to ask to go over the inspection checklist, if there is a CARFAX® vehicle history report, and what maintenance has been performed. All these details will make you well-informed on the vehicle's condition and history. Know Who Certified the Chevy CPO Vehicle in Question A CPO, or Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, is one of the best options for those who want to purchase a reliable used car.

Genuine Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned vehicles need to meet strict requirements to guarantee that they’ll live up to your expectations.

Oil change maintenance is an important part of servicing your Chevrolet car. James Martin Chevrolet makes it easy to knock an oil change off your to-do list. But how do you know when it’s time to schedule this service? We have three signs to look out for. more 1.   Illuminated Dashboard Light Most modern cars are now equipped with maintenance lights or a dedicated oil change light that lets you know when you need to change your oil. The lights are triggered by a computer that keeps track of how many miles you’ve driven since the light was last reset. 2.   Dark Engine Oil If you’re the type to go poking around the hood of your car to top off windshield wiper fluid, you may have also checked your engine oil. When the engine oil that comes off the dipstick is dark and dirty looking, it's time for an oil change. Engine oil is more of an amber color when it's in good condition. 3.   Engine Knocking Noises Engine oil is a lubricant for the internal engine parts, in order to prevent metal-on-metal grinding. When that oil is lacking or if it gets too old, it won't be able to do its job properly. The knocking noise you may hear is a sign that your vehicle is in need of immediate servicing.
