Learning all about the maintenance of your vehicle is an important part of car ownership. Knowing which Chevy parts to have on hand that can be replaced yourself can not only save a trip to the service center, but can also save you money as well. Take a look at these parts you can replace all on your own!

Fluids

If you can pop your own hood, you can check your vehicle’s fluid levels! Oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield wiper fluid levels can be easily checked on your own time, and even topped off if you have them on hand. Just be sure to consult your vehicle’s manual to see which fluids are recommended.

Windshield Wiper Blades

Bad weather can have your vehicle’s windshield wipers working overtime. Extreme temperatures can have the blades drying out and cracking much faster than you may expect. However, this is an easy fix you can perform yourself! Check out your local car parts dealer for both new blades and wipers.

Spare Tire

This may seem like an obvious one, but it still catches drivers off guard every day. Having a spare tire can really save the day, but they by no means are a replacement for your regular tire. After a spare is used, it is usually a good idea to get a replacement as a spare tire is much smaller than a regular one and can take on less wear before becoming unusable.

So now that you know, make your way on down to Valley Chevrolet of Hastings’ part department to inquire about which parts are right for your vehicle, and maybe even order a replacement!
