Whether your child drives to and from school or you are carpooling extra kids to school, Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC has put together a list of items for you to check over to make sure you or your child will get through the school year in a safe, reliable car!Vehicles use multiple fluids, and it is necessary to check the fluid levels and the condition periodically. The 6 important fluids you should keep an eye out for are the engine oil, coolant or antifreeze, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Before heading out, check these fluid levels. If the washer fluid is low, go ahead and top it off.

Check/ Change Your Oil
Your engine needs oil to keep the internal parts lubricated. Based on your cars make, model and age, your oil should be changed frequently. (Check your cars owner’s manual on the suggested oil change interval.) Before school gets too busy, go ahead, and get the oil changed at Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC.Check Your Tires
Tires are the only thing between you and the road. Good tires will provide the traction you need to corner and stop in snowy or slick road conditions. Take the time to look at the tires wear pattern and tread depth. An uneven wear pattern is a sign of the car’s alignment being off, which can lead to premature tire wear and suspension parts. All tires have markers in the tread to let you know how close the tire is to reaching its life expectancy. Also, look inside the driver’s door jamb for the label with the proper tire pressures. Check and fill it, if needed. The service department at Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC has a great selection of tires for all makes and models.Check Lights and Turn Signals
Grab a helper and hit the lights! Have a friend help you make sure your headlights, brake lights, and blinkers are turning on. It is important to be sure your lights are operational – brake lights that are burned out are a ticketable offense.Test Your Batteries
Check the battery terminals and cables for corrosion -- clean them if needed. If you notice any battery issues, Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC can test your car's battery and replace it for you.
