Your vehicle maintenance journey begins the moment you drive your new vehicle off of the lot. Part of maintenance is knowing what Chevy parts need replacing and when. To help you figure all of this out, we’ve assembled this quick guide of the top five most important part replacements you should know about!
5. Spark Plugs
Your engine won’t be able to get you very far without any combustion! Your spark plugs keep your car in motion, so why wouldn’t you want them in proper working order? To keep them all in working order, we recommend getting them replaced every 30,000 miles.
4. Brake Pads
Your vehicle’s brakes are your first line of defense against collisions on the road. They are instrumental in keeping you and your passengers safe, and thus should be replaced every 10,000 to 20,000 miles to keep your brakes from wearing down too fast.
3. Air Filters
Just as you need to change the filters on the AC unit in your home, you need to change the filters of the AC unit in your vehicle. To keep your vehicle’s air fresh and clean, it is recommended that you get your air filters replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles.
2. Drive Belt
From the moment you turn your vehicle on, to the moment you park and lock your car, the drive belt is in constant motion. While this is one of the sturdier components of your engine, it still wears down over time, and thus should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.
1. Oil Filters
You knew it was coming, the part where we remind you to replace your oil filters. Don’t brush it off, your vehicle’s health may depend on it! Just as your vehicle requires oil changes, the oil filters must be changed every other oil change, so roughly every 10,000 to 15,000 miles!
So now that you know, could it be time for one of these parts to be replaced? Schedule your appointment and make your way down to Valley Chevrolet of Hastings today to have your vehicle checked out!
