Oil and Filter Changes

An oil and filter change is one of the most common maintenance services you will need to schedule when you own a vehicle. Your oil plays a vital role in how your vehicle operates, providing the lubrication necessary for all of the moving parts of your engine to perform properly. You see, these moving components create a lot of heat and friction under your vehicle's hood, and if they're not properly lubricated, you run the risk of your engine overheating, causing a variety of problems. When your oil isn't changed regularly, your vehicle doesn't perform as it should; you may also notice that you're refueling at the pump more often, as this also affects fuel efficiency.

In worst-case scenarios, your engine could overheat so greatly it becomes inoperable, and its replacement would be a massive expense. This can be avoided simply by regularly changing your oil, but that's not all. Your filter will also need to be changed, as it plays an integral role in your vehicle's operations. Your oil filter is responsible for filtering out dust and debris from the road so that it doesn't end up in your engine oil, clogging up your engine's moving parts. This is imperative as a vehicle owner, and when you partner with a service center, it's an easy aspect of regular maintenance that allows you to travel with maximum assurance.

Tire Services

Your tires are what anchor your vehicle to the ground; if they are in need of service or repair, then you are driving an unsafe car. It's only natural that your tires will collect their fair share of wear and tear over the miles they're driven, but one way you can prolong their lifespan is with regular tire rotations. This service is simple, as a technician will rotate your tires accordingly so that there's an equal amount of wear amassing from front to back, and no two tires are degrading faster than the others.

There will come a time, however, when you're in need of new tires. You may notice the telltale signs of this on your own, as your vehicle may have a difficult time gripping the road, you may start to feel a vibration while you drive, or you may see visual signs like a low tread, cracks, and bulging; these are all symptoms of bad tires, and it's important that you get this taken care of right away. After all, you don't want to jeopardize your safety or that of your passengers and fellow travelers around you.

Brakes, Batteries, and More

Equally as important as your oil and tires are your brakes, as they, too, undergo their fair share of wear and tear over the years. McCluskey Chevrolet performs top-notch brake services for our customers, analyzing your brake system and diagnosing any problems that may be evident. From brake pads to rotors, we can help you remain safe and controlled on the road. If you notice that your brakes are beginning to squeak or squeal or have a tougher time coming to a full stop, it's time to bring your car in for service. You may also notice your brake indicator illuminated on your instrument panel or a burning odor while driving, which are other signs that something may be amiss with your brakes.

We also see many customers for their batteries. As you're probably aware, this is another part of your vehicle that will eventually need replacement—although far less often than your oil and filter. Batteries, on average, last about three to five years, but this is heavily dependent on where you frequently travel, what type of climate you're traveling in, and your driving habits. If you notice that your vehicle is having a hard time starting, your lights are dimming regularly, your battery light is on, or your battery connectors are corroded when you open up the hood, it's time for a new one. McCluskey Chevrolet also offers many other car services to help you move forward safely; from electrical systems to lighting elements, wheel alignments to belt and hose replacement, our staff can help you with all aspects of your vehicle's maintenance needs.

How Do You Know It's Time to Service Your Vehicle? How Can We Help?

We recommend all our customers keep up with regular service; they would thus be less likely to find themselves in an inconvenient situation. Oil changes and tire rotation intervals depend on the type of vehicle you drive and your driving habits. For example, those driving an older vehicle or those who frequently traverse uneven terrain will need oil changes and tire rotations more often. If you're unsure, you can consult your owner's manual, but we also recommend chatting with our team of service professionals; they'll design a service schedule based on your individual needs so that you can take care of your vehicle as best as possible.

McCluskey Chevrolet can help in a variety of ways. For one, we're staffed with factory-trained technicians who are knowledgeable about working on a great number of makes and models.
