5.  Beware the Deadly Sins Of Winter

GM Goodwrench Offers Spring Car Care Relief for Your Vehicle

Winter can be tough on lots of things, including cars and trucks. Cold temperatures, snow and ice, road salt and pothole-causing freeze-thaw cycles put car batteries, tires, brakes and suspensions to the test. Spring is the time to rid vehicles of winter’s sins in time for summer travel.

Since 1970, Americans have more than doubled their vehicle miles traveled, according to federal statistics. In summer, many of those miles are logged on driving vacations far from home, the last place motorists want to risk a breakdown.

“Regular vehicle maintenance and inspections can help improve a vehicle’s fuel efficiency, achieve peak performance and even help avoid major repairs down the road,” said Peter Lord, executive director, GM Service Operations.

Winter’s “major deadly sins” can affect just about all vehicle systems, but some are especially vulnerable. Vehicle owners can follow these tips to ensure their vehicles are ready to roll:

7.  Ask The Expert:    Should I wax my new Chevrolet?

Of course a shiny new car needs no wax to look shiny. However according to our Detailing Manager Jim Schalk, it is best to wax your vehicle twice a year; just before winter to protect from the harsh elements and road salt, and just before summer to protect from the baking heat that is tough on a finish.  Follow this advice to keep your car looking shiny and new for many years.
