Back to School with Hulett!

-
School has officially started this week around Lake of the Ozarks, so the big questions is, “Is your car well-maintained and ready for the wear and tear that the school year brings on?” Now is the perfect time for back to school car maintenance to make sure everything is working properly. 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!

Top Off Fluids

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. If any other fluids are low, discolored or smell burnt, you should have it looked at by a professional at our Certified Service Department in Camdenton, MO.

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. Don’t let a dead battery leave you stranded.


Prepare for a safe school year by using this list of items to check. Being proactive with your car maintenance keeps you and your car happy and off the side of the road. Stop by our Certified Service Department in Camdenton, MO for all your car service needs. Our trained and certified staff here at Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC will always keep your car running smoothly and safely! If it’s time for a new or preowned car, we have the best selection of cars for sale at Lake of the Ozarks. Our laid back, friendly, and knowledgeable sales staff will be here to help you find the right vehicle for you!

5 Reasons Your Check Engine Light Is On

It may be a little nerve wracking when your check engine light comes on. Nobody likes to see that their car is deteriorating. Usually, there is no warning or explanation for why the check engine light comes on. When you see this light come on, it means there is a trip to the best auto service department at the Lake of the Ozarks . There are many reasons why a vehicle's check engine light can come on, however, these are the five most common reasons. 1. Gas Cap Is Loose, Damaged or Missing You wouldn't think a gas cap would be that important, but it is. When a gas cap becomes loose or is broken, it can leak out fuel vapors, which can throw the whole fuel system off. If your check engine light comes on, but your car isn't feeling jerky or strange, the first thing you should check is the gas cap. 2. Catalytic Converter Needs Replacing Catalytic converters are another common item that drivers face. The catalytic converter works to reduce exhaust gasses. This is primar...
