If you are driving around with dirty oil or driving around with not enough oil, this can drastically shorten the life of your engine. If you think you require an extra look at your oil, schedule an appointment with our service center today. Each member of our team is trained to pay attention to the nitty-gritty details of your car's oil intake.

You may be asking yourself, Why do I need to change my oil so often? That's a great question! It's also a question that could save you from an emergency trip to our shop. Since engines are made up of so many moving parts, those parts must be properly lubricated to avoid any damage.

Here are a few reasons why changing your oil can help give your Chevy vehicle the boost it needs:

• It cools engine components. Sustaining a healthy amount of oil helps prevent too much friction from potentially overheating the engine.
• Your gas mileage improves. Without proper engine lubrication, your gas mileage could dip as much as 1-2% per year. Go further on the roads!
• It removes sludge and engine wear particles. Dirt particles are hazardous to your motor because they can create cause corrosion and decrease the lifespan of your performance.
• It maintains motor lubrication. When properly lubricated, the many moving parts in the motor work in conjunction without missing a beat.
• Your vehicle will last longer. Ultimately, when your engine is working in tip-top shape, the rest of your car's capabilities follow suit.

Stopping power is crucial to a safe and successful driving service. Your daily commute relies on them to get you from point A to point B. That's why our Chevrolet service center emphasizes the importance of maintaining brake safety. Our experts can recommend new quality brakes, and they'll let you know the best route forward.

There are several signs to keep an eye on as you drive to determine if your brakes are aging or if they need to be looked at. Some of these signs include:

• Squeaking or grinding noise. If you hear any sort of squealing sounds as you step on the brake pedal, your brake pads are likely worn.
• Delayed response in braking. When your brake pads are too worn out, they will struggle to slow down as promptly as before.
• Burning smell while driving. Anytime you experience a sharp or pungent smell emitting from your car after braking, pull over and let your brakes cool down.

Your vehicle's battery provides energy to start the engine, and it also supplies power to accessories when the engine is not running. The cold of winter and the heat of summer can also affect your auto battery. Therefore, it's important to always keep a keen eye on your battery's performance.

Visit us to check up on your battery any time of the year. Sometimes, batteries simply age faster than expected, leaving you in a precarious position in the event your engine doesn't want to turn over. Other times, all you might need is a battery test to see the condition of your Chevrolet's battery. Either way, our service center here at Maguire Chevrolet of Ithaca is here to provide help!
