Whether you drive a rugged Silverado 1500 or a family-friendly Equinox, every vehicle in Bangor needs routine maintenance to achieve reliable performance. Here are the most crucial recurring services your vehicle needs at Quirk Chevrolet of Bangor to continue running at its best.
Regular oil changes are essential for your Chevrolet vehicle’s health, longevity, and daily performance. Contaminated motor oil can cause excessive heat and friction within your vehicle’s engine, potentially leading to irreparable damage or engine failure. A properly lubricated engine with clean oil achieves better gas mileage and more power, all while pumping out less polluting fumes.
As a general rule, it’s a good idea to get your car’s oil changed every six months here in Bangor, or as directed in the owner’s manual. However, if you have a truck that you use to tow heavy equipment or a commuter sedan that makes many short trips or idles in traffic, you may need more frequent oil changes. Check your vehicle’s oil level and quality at least once per month; if it looks dark or gritty, bring it in for an oil change at Quirk Chevrolet of Bangor.
From its brakes and transmission to its radiator and power steering system, your vehicle needs clean fluids to run properly. If those fluids become dirty or too old to be effective, your vehicle’s lifespan and performance will suffer.
Be sure to check their level and condition every month. If you notice that they look dark or gritty, bring your vehicle to Quirk Chevrolet of Bangor for a fluid flush. Or, when you bring your vehicle in for other services at our dealership, ask our technicians to assess your car’s fluids to see if they need flushed.
Want better performance, a smoother ride, and improved handling — all while making your tires last longer? Getting these benefits is as easy as scheduling an appointment for balancing and alignment at Quirk Chevrolet of Bangor.
Misaligned wheels can cause shaky handling, poor traction, a tendency to veer, and excessive tire wear. Even if your vehicle isn’t showing these symptoms, it’s a good idea to have its alignment checked every six months at our Maine dealership. Similarly, imbalanced tires can cause poor fuel economy, uneven tire wear, and even a shaky steering wheel. Consider having your vehicle’s tires balanced every six months.
Low temperatures in Maine can deplete your car’s battery charge, potentially leaving you stranded out in the winter cold with a car that won’t start. Don’t let your car battery’s weak charge ruin your day; have it tested at our service center. If you need a new battery, our technicians will replace it for you in a snap. Have it checked every six months, preferably before and after winter to avoid facing a dead battery.
