3 DIY Chevy Car Maintenance Tips

Keeping up with Chevy car maintenance is crucial to keeping your favorite model on the road for as long as possible. Between service appointments, there are things you can do in your own driveway or garage to treat your vehicle well. Here are a few DIY tips from the experts at Casey Chevrolet. 

Keep Your Tires Healthy

There are a few ways to keep your tires healthy, including:

• Maintain good tire pressure (the ideal pressure is listed in your owner’s manual)
• Check the tread depth so you ensure maximum road grip
• Clean the tires to prevent rocks and debris from entering the wheels or brakes
• Inspect the sidewalls for signs of bulging, cracking, or other damage
• Don’t forget to check – and replace – your spare periodically, too

Change Your Wipers and Wiper Fluid

Wipers are easy to overlook, but they need changes every now and then. Ensure your wipers are tight against your windshield and back window, and don’t leave streaks. Check your wiper fluid every few months and top it off when necessary so you’ll never run low. Our Chevy parts department is a great place to stock up.

Clean Your Car Regularly

A clean vehicle is a healthy vehicle. Give your car an occasional exterior wash to prevent dirt, salt, and other grime from damaging the paint job and undercarriage—even a tiny spot can lead to a rusting problem. Additionally, vacuum your interior so your seats and finishes stay as spotless as the day you first drove your auto home.
