Road Trip Car Maintenance Checklist

When you schedule Chevy service in Clarkston with us before your road trip, we’ll ensure your vehicle is well prepared for the journey ahead by performing the following services:

  • Check your oil and make sure it’s clean and at an ideal level.
  • Top off all fluids and check fluid levels.
  • Run a battery test to ensure it’s working adequately. If it’s not, we can repair or replace a car battery with ease.
  • Take care of any dashboard warning lights.
  • Check lights and wiper blades.
  • Test your brakes and wheel components for responsiveness and effectiveness.
  • Check your tire pressure and examine them for tire punctures. We will also make sure you have a spare tire. If you don’t, we recommend that you purchase one in case you get a flat.
