Scheduling regular service is one of the most important things you can do to keep your vehicle running smoothly, safely and reliably for years to come. At the service center at Healey Chevrolet in Poughkeepsie, our factory-trained technicians are here to provide all the seasonal maintenance your car, truck or SUV needs to perform its best.

Oil Changes: The Foundation of Preventive Maintenance

Of all the various service tasks, regular oil and filter changes are the most critical. Motor oil lubricates and cools your engine, while the oil filter screens out contaminants. Over time, oil breaks down and the filter becomes clogged, which is why it's so important to change them at the mileage intervals recommended in your owner's manual.

Neglecting oil changes can lead to increased engine wear and even severe damage. But when you get your oil changed on schedule at Healey Chevrolet, you can rest assured your engine will continue to run smoothly and deliver the performance and efficiency you expect. Our technicians will also do a multi-point inspection to spot any developing issues that need attention.

Additional Seasonal Service Tasks

While oil changes should be done regularly year-round, there are other important maintenance items that are often seasonal in nature. For example, spring is a good time to check your air conditioning system to make sure it's ready to keep you cool all summer. It's also smart to check your brakes, as winter weather can cause corrosion.

As summer turns to fall, having your battery tested is a wise idea so you can replace it if needed before cold weather hits. Checking your tire pressure and tread depth is also key for maintaining traction and handling in wet or snowy driving conditions. And don't forget about your windshield wipers - replacing them ensures clear visibility in inclement weather.
