As the leaves begin to change and the air becomes crisper, it’s time to prepare your Chevy vehicle for the upcoming autumn season. Ensuring your vehicle is ready for the challenges of cooler weather and potential inclement conditions is essential. Here are five fall service tasks to consider for your next Chevy service appointment at James Martin Chevrolet.

Tire Inspection and Maintenance

Autumn brings wetter roads and occasionally frosty mornings. Ensuring your tires are in good condition, properly inflated, and have adequate tread depth is crucial for maintaining traction and control. Consider switching to winter tires for optimal performance.

Brake Check

Falling leaves and rain can make the roads slippery. A brake inspection ensures your vehicle’s stopping power is at its best. It’s also an opportunity to check the condition of brake pads and rotors for any necessary replacements.

Fluid Check and Replacement

Cooler temperatures can affect various fluids, such as engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant. Regular fluid checks and replacements are essential to keep your vehicle running smoothly and prevent any cold-weather issues.

Battery Inspection

Autumn’s chill can strain your vehicle’s battery. A battery inspection and, if needed, a replacement, can help you avoid unexpected breakdowns during those colder Michigan months.

HVAC System Maintenance

As the temperatures drop, your heating and ventilation system becomes vital. Ensure it’s working optimally by checking the HVAC system, including the heater, defroster, and cabin air filter. A properly functioning HVAC system is essential for your comfort and safety during autumn’s unpredictable weather.
