Chevrolet Multi-Point Inspection
The #1 recommendation for summer maintenance is getting a multi-point inspection because it covers so much ground. A multi-point vehicle inspection covers all primary systems, vital components, and safety devices/controls, including tires, battery, engine, transmission, suspension, lights, and turn signals. Getting a certified Chevrolet multi-point inspection is equally wise because it will be completed by an experienced technician accurately using the certified inspection form.
Battery
The battery is at risk after a freezing winter and hot summer temperatures right around the corner. It is a wise decision for summer maintenance to include a battery inspection, load testing, and replacement if needed.
A/C Service & Repair
Summer maintenance tends to include A/C service and repair because drivers find out that the system isn’t performing properly. An A/C inspection is needed when drivers notice that the air exiting the vents isn’t conditioned or the air seems restricted. A repair will be in order depending upon what the inspection finds. Common A/C services include refrigerant recharge, compressor, condenser, and evaporator repairs.
Windshield Wiper Blades
Every Chevrolet owner in Michigan should check the windshield wiper blades after a freezing winter with icy conditions and before summer with heavy rain likely and peak visibility needed for safety. Replace the windshield wiper blades if the rubber is damaged, perform poorly by leaving streaks/film, or over one year old.
Minor & Major Maintenance Intervals ServiceMinor & Major Maintenance Intervals Service
Summer maintenance should include a vehicle mileage check and comparison to the routine maintenance schedule found in the owner’s manual. Newer Chevy models might need a routine synthetic oil change and tire rotation every 10,000 miles. You might also be approaching a major maintenance interval with more services recommended to get the best results.
