Winterize Your Car with Chevrolet Service

It’s always best to be prepared for the winter months, but if you didn’t schedule Chevrolet service before the cold hit, it’s not too late. By scheduling a routine maintenance appointment or asking for specialized winter service, your Chevrolet car will be ready before the weather turns worse. Winterize your vehicle by visiting the service center at Team Chevrolet GMC. Heating and Air Conditioning The last thing any driver or passenger wants is for the heating system to break down during the winter. That’s why you should inspect your heat and air conditioner for proper heating and air delivery. You’ll be thankful you did once the bitter cold hits or on those unexpected days when the temperature swings back into the 70s. Antifreeze You’ll want to check your coolant levels and fill up on antifreeze if necessary. This fluid keeps your engine working correctly in colder temperatures. You’ll also want a spare bottle on standby in case you need to top it off. Tires Your tires will naturally deflate during the winter as the air pressure decreases with the drop in temperature. You should test your tires and inflate them to the proper pressure. If you plan to drive a lot in snow and ice, this is the time to install winter tires on your car. Windshield Wipers Snow can be a significant cap on visibility during the winter, so you’ll want to replace any malfunctioning or worn-down wiper blades. With fresh wipers on your vehicle, you can keep your windshield free from snow and ice buildup. Oil Change Finally, it’s always best to have clean oil in your tank. That’s especially true in the winter, as it will keep your engine lubricated and running at the proper temperature. Book a Winter Chevrolet Service Appointment in Huntingdon, PA We hope you’re well-prepared for safe winter driving. Make sure your vehicle is as well by contacting Team Chevrolet GMC. We’ll get you prepped for the cold with essential Chevrolet service.

Service and Driving Tips to Save on Fuel

It’s the question on everyone’s mind these days — how can I improve my vehicle’s mileage and save on fuel? Whether you’re driving a Chevy Malibu or , Chevrolet, GMC service technicians have some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of every gallon and help you save money at the pump. Gas-Saving Driving Tips These are just a few ways you can improve mileage in your Chevrolet SUV. 1. Check Your Tires. Visit our service center for a tire rotation to make sure your tires are wearing evenly, since uneven wear can lead to increased fuel usage. And check your tire pressure regularly to make sure you’re getting the optimal inflation, which improves mileage. Make sure you keep a tire pressure gauge in your glove compartment, just in case. 2. Get Aerodynamic. The drag from things like roof racks or open windows at high speeds can mean your vehicle has to work harder to maintain its speed, which uses more fuel, so take advantage of the already aerodynamic designs on GMC, and Chevy vehicles for better mileage. 3. Go Easy. Whether you’re getting up to speed or getting ready for a stop, going slow and easy on acceleration and braking helps your vehicle use less gas, so take your time. 4. Take a Load Off. The more weight your vehicle is carrying, the more fuel it will need to keep moving, so take some time to clean out your car, truck, or SUV and make sure you’re only carrying what you need. In addition to these tips, regular service is a good way to make sure you’re getting the most out of every tank of gas.

How to Clean the Bed of Your Chevy Silverado 1500

One of the reasons drivers love the Chevy Silverado 1500 is that they can use this tough pickup for work as well as for every day driving. But as our Huntingdon Chevy service technicians know, hard work can lead to big messes, especially in the bed of your truck. Today they’ve got their top tips for cleaning your Chevy Silverado bed, and their suggestions for protecting your truck bed. Chevy Silverado Bed Cleaning Tips The type of mess in your Chevy truck bed might affect what’s needed, but here are the basics for a good clean-up! Start with a sweep. Even if the mess is mostly mud or grease, cleaning will go more smoothly if you sweep out dust, dirt, and debris first. High pressure spray. If you don’t have a pressure washer a powerful hose will do, but the more powerful the spray the deeper you’ll get into the grime, and the easier the next step will be. Scrub your bed. A basic car soap should do the trick, combined with a stiff brush. Be sure to rinse and let your truck bed thoroughly dry (so pick a sunny day!) when you are done. Protecting Your Truck Bed Now that it’s clean, you’re going to want to protect the bed of your truck moving forward! Chevrolet accessories are the best way to do this. From a durable, easy-to-install bedliner to covers to better ways to organize, you can use Chevy accessories to get the most out of your pickup bed.

Chevy Parts 101: Battery

Even though new Chevy vehicles at Team Chevrolet, GMC are built to last, there are certain parts of the vehicles that aren’t. That includes your Chevy battery. Here are some tips to keep in mind when it comes to caring for your battery and knowing when to replace it. How Long Does a Battery Last? While all car batteries have a limited lifespan, it can be difficult to predict exactly how long yours will last. A car battery will typically last between three to five years, although some can stretch out even longer. And, of course, some last even less. It truly depends on your battery and how it is used. Can I Increase My Battery’s Lifespan? There are lots of factors that influence your battery’s lifespan and lots of ways you can help prolong it. Make sure all lights and accessories are off in your cabin before exiting. Don’t use electronics while idling. Limit short rides so the battery has time to charge. Keep your battery clean and tightly fastened. How Do I Know if I Need a Replacement? The last thing you want to do is drive around with an unreliable battery. That’s why it’s important to check your battery regularly and have it inspected if you notice any warning signs. Your vehicle struggles to start. Your battery light or check engine light is illuminated. Your battery fluid level is low. Your battery is leaking. While you can certainly take steps to prolong the life of your battery, it’s still important to have it inspected regularly, particularly if it over three years old. Visit the service professionals at our Chevy dealership in Huntingdon, PA for both battery service and replacements. We’re happy to help!
