Larry Green Chevrolet remains ready to prepare your vehicle for the change of season in Sedona. In fact, our certified and factory-trained team of technicians has identified those specific vehicle systems that are most susceptible to cooler weather that will undoubtedly settle into Prescott Valley soon enough.

Fall Maintenance – a Seasonal Rite

Every season makes their demands on certain vehicle systems and those parts included. Everything from fluid checks to tire care should be applied along with more detailed aspects of preventative maintenance. This approach serves to underpin values of safety and performance as we lead into winter outside Cottonwood.

So, whether you’re shopping our new Chevy inventory or used-vehicle collection, bear in mind that fall maintenance should be considered a seasonal rite. It’s almost akin to securing the most weighty turkey along with all the trimmings before that last Thursday in November.

Transmission Check

Your Chevrolet Silverado transmission is a complicated array of intricate parts. And it’s a system that relies upon a fresh supply of fluid for optimal gear shifting as well as system vitality. Though over time, fluid breaks down to a level that will show flakes and other particulates mostly from system heat. Without fresh fluid introduced, you may open the potential for serious and costly damage. You never want to experience a situation that sees your engine revving beyond normal limits without ever a gear shifted.

Brake System Inspected

Your vehicle’s brake system endured excessive use during the summer. So, at this time, it’s best to have each part comprising inspected for any issues that might be underlying or inhibiting. The consequence of not doing so might hinder stopping power at a Camp Verde intersection. To this, our team will examine the surfacing of rotors and pads. Also inspected will be each brake caliper for issues with rust or corrosion.

Power Steering System

Power steering is another system that is fluid-based. So, any remaining fluid should be clean and free of flakes or minute particles of debris. With any steering wheel that’s too difficult to maneuver or doesn’t respond to your handling while turning, it’s most probably a fluid issue. There might be a low level in the fluid reservoir or a supply that’s contaminated altogether. Here, safety is a paramount concern for driver, passengers and others on a Sedona street.

Oil Change

Simply put, an oil change produces a wealth of benefits. Timed to the changing of seasons along the calendar, a fresh supply of motor oil serves to improve fuel efficiency. This value stems from intricate powertrain parts working in harmony due to the lubricating nature of synthetic oil. There’s also the benefit of overall system temperature regulated for the ups and downs of operation in Prescott Valley. The more frequent that fresh oil is introduced provides for system longevity and premise of vehicle health over years of ownership.

Wiper Blades Replaced

With time and use, wiper blades are affected to a degree that serves no viable purpose. The material composition of the blade in-question could become so worn that it splits. Or, there might be an issue with rigidity where the blade won’t conform to the slight angle of a windscreen. No matter the issue, it’s best to have a new set of wiper blades installed before snow begins to fall or ice builds up in Sedona.
