TAKE CARE OF YOUR RIDE!

You depend on your vehicle everyday! Whether it’s for work, errands, or simply for a road trip, you need to be able to depend on your vehicle each time you start it up. Hulett Chevrolet’s vehicle service department at the Lake of the Ozarks understands how important it is to keep your vehicle running at its best and keeping your family safe. There are some very simple routine maintenance routines you can do to ensure your vehicle lasts as long as you own it and remains in top working condition.



Wax On Wax Off

Keeping your vehicle exterior clean will not only make your car look great, but it can also keep you safe as well. Buildup from road treatments, gravel roads, and road construction can not only damage paint over time but can make headlights and turn signals harder for other drivers to see. Consider a quick stop at the car wash or if you prefer to do it yourself, a good handwash and wax can really do wonders and allow you to enjoy some sunny weather as well. Getting a professional detail is always a good decision too.

Check That Dip Stick

This is a big one! Checking your oil and ensuring it has the proper level is imperative to how well your engine is performing. Oil keeps your engine lubricated and reduces friction on the moving components. Get in the habit of checking your oil on a regular basis by getting the oil changed regularty and not driving past the recommend mileage per oil change. Hulett’s Service Department is here to help you remember to schedule your routine maintenance.

Tires, Tires, Tires, Oh My!

Engine maintenance keeps your car running well, but what about making sure it handles well? While the tire pressure should be checked regularly, it's especially important with the change of seasons. Going from cold weather to hot weather can affect your tire pressure, which can lead to poor handling. If you do need to add some air, make sure not to overinflate your tires, which can be just as dangerous and hard to control as an underinflated tire. Get in the habit of checking the tread on your tires, too. Remember they are your only points of contact with the road, so be sure you have enough tread to hang on!

You Can See Clearly Now

This is one that gets overlooked quite a bit. Whether it’s a wintery mix or April showers in the forecast, it’s a good idea to check your windshield wipers before it hits! Look at the rubber blade (where the wiper meets the window) and check for signs of wear like cracks, holes, and deterioration. Worn or damaged wipers can create streaks across your windshield, making it harder to see through. Replacing your windshield wipers is an easy and inexpensive vehicle maintenance task that can make driving in inclement weather much easier.
