PREP YOUR CHEVROLET OR BUICK VEHICLE FOR SPRING

May 29th, 2024 by

Spring is in bloom, making now a good time to get your Chevrolet or Buick vehicle ready for the warmer temperatures. At Richardson Chevrolet Buick in Standish, MI, we highly recommend scheduling a spring maintenance appointment to ensure your Chevrolet or Buick vehicle is running safely and efficiently.

THOROUGHLY CHECK ALL FLUIDS

One of the most important maintenance services our expert technicians will perform is comprehensively checking and replacing fluids as needed. Over the cold winter months, vital automotive fluids can become contaminated or break down, leading to reduced performance and potential damage to your Chevrolet truck, car, or SUV. Our service team will meticulously check all your vehicle’s fluid levels, including oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, windshield washer fluid, and more. We’ll thoroughly top off any low fluids and recommend a complete flush if needed to help your Chevy or Buick SUV continue running around the Midland, MI area.

CLOSELY INSPECT BELTS AND HOSES

The belts and hoses under the hood of your Buick or Chevrolet model work exceptionally hard all year round and can become cracked, dried out, or worn. Our expert technicians will give them an extremely thorough inspection and carefully look for any signs of damage or deterioration. Preventative replacement of belts and hoses can help avoid breakdowns and expensive repairs.

TEST BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM

Batteries work extra hard during cold winter months to keep your Buick or Chevy vehicle starting and running. We’ll thoroughly test your battery’s charge and overall condition to see if it’s time for a replacement. We’ll also meticulously inspect the charging system components, including the alternator and voltage regulator, to confirm they are functioning properly for optimal battery life and performance.

COMPREHENSIVE BRAKE INSPECTION

Safe braking is absolutely crucial every time you drive your SUV, truck, or sedan around Saginaw. Our comprehensive brake inspections look at brake pad thickness, rotors, calipers, brake fluid, and brake lines. We’ll make sure your brakes are in good working order and recommend any repairs needed for safe, reliable stopping power.

CHECK TIRE CONDITION

Proper tire maintenance promotes safe handling and extends tire life for your car. We’ll thoroughly check the tread depth, inflation pressure, and overall tire condition. Rotating your tires helps them wear evenly. We’ll also make sure your spare tire is properly inflated and ready to use if ever needed while out on the road.

REPLACE AIR, CABIN, AND FUEL FILTERS

Replacing your engine air filter, cabin air filter, and fuel filter at recommended intervals helps keep your vehicle running at peak efficiency. Old, dirty filters can restrict airflow and lead to reduced performance. Our expert technicians will replace your filters with genuine factory parts to keep your car’s engine and cabin air clean.

PERFORM A MULTI-POINT INSPECTION

In addition to thoroughly checking the components above, our certified technicians will perform an extremely comprehensive multi-point inspection of your entire Chevrolet or Buick vehicle. We’ll closely assess the condition of your engine, transmission, suspension, exhaust, wipers, lights, and much more. Our bumper-to-bumper inspection helps spot small issues before they have a chance to become big headaches down the road.
