Winterize Your Car with Chevrolet Service
It’s always best to be prepared for the winter months, but if you didn’t schedule Chevrolet service before the cold hit, it’s not too late. By scheduling a routine maintenance appointment or asking for specialized winter service, your Chevrolet car will be ready before the weather turns worse. Winterize your vehicle by visiting the service center at Team Chevrolet GMC.
Heating and Air Conditioning
The last thing any driver or passenger wants is for the heating system to break down during the winter. That’s why you should inspect your heat and air conditioner for proper heating and air delivery. You’ll be thankful you did once the bitter cold hits or on those unexpected days when the temperature swings back into the 70s.
Antifreeze
You’ll want to check your coolant levels and fill up on antifreeze if necessary. This fluid keeps your engine working correctly in colder temperatures. You’ll also want a spare bottle on standby in case you need to top it off.
Tires
Your tires will naturally deflate during the winter as the air pressure decreases with the drop in temperature. You should test your tires and inflate them to the proper pressure. If you plan to drive a lot in snow and ice, this is the time to install winter tires on your car.
Windshield Wipers
Snow can be a significant cap on visibility during the winter, so you’ll want to replace any malfunctioning or worn-down wiper blades. With fresh wipers on your vehicle, you can keep your windshield free from snow and ice buildup.
Oil Change
Finally, it’s always best to have clean oil in your tank. That’s especially true in the winter, as it will keep your engine lubricated and running at the proper temperature.

The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette is On Top

Routine auto service and car care are essential for vehicle safety, comfort, and longevity. That’s why Team Chevrolet, GMC is so dedicated to providing service and care you can rely on. Learn more about best practices for scheduling vehicle service and the many benefits of referencing your owner’s manual at our dealership.
It Tells You When to Schedule Service
One of the essential things your owner’s manual can tell you is when to schedule vehicle service. It breaks down what parts and systems need service, what kind of service they need, and when to schedule it. This will help you properly maintain your vehicle and ensure your parts and systems continue running correctly for as long as possible.
It Decodes Dashboard Lights and Symbols
There are many different lights on our dashboards, most of which only turn on if there is a problem with the vehicle. While some may be relatively easy to decode, the more obscure alerts might not be so obvious. If you see a light you don’t recognize on the dashboard, you’ll be able to reference the alert in your owner’s manual so you know what to tell your service team.
It Helps Diagnose Problems
Beyond the dashboard lights, your owner’s manual can help you to determine what’s wrong with your vehicle if it starts driving unusually, making sounds, or emitting new smells. When you reference the manual in advance of service, you’ll be better able to articulate your vehicle’s needs, which means quicker, less costly care for your car.
Here at Team Chevrolet, GMC, our service team has your back. Reference your owner’s manual to know when to schedule your next service appointment, or just call our dealership, and we’ll keep you on track. Don’t forget to check our GM service specials ahead of your visit!
How GM Vehicles Keep New Drivers Safe
GM vehicles are built to keep drivers safe. Case in point, the 2023 Chevy Traverse is engineered so that you can be comfortable handing the keys to your family’s newest driver. Team Chevrolet, GMC is here to educate you on the GM vehicles we carry and their excellent safety features.
Chevy Safety Assist®
Available on most new Chevy models, the Chevy Traverse included Chevy Safety Assist® bundles driver-assist features that keep drivers of all experience levels safer. It includes:
· Adaptive Cruise Control reduces constant brake-and-accelerate stress by maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you.
· Rear Vision Camera lets you see and avoid obstacles when parking or reversing your vehicle.
· High-Definition Surround Vision digitally renders your surroundings so you can avoid hazards on all sides.
· Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert visually and audibly notifies you if a vehicle is detected in your side blind spot.
· Rear Cross Traffic Alert keeps an eye on oncoming traffic when backing up, keeping you safe in an area where rearward visibility is less than ideal.
Teen Driver Feature
A growing number of new cars feature the active safety features discussed above. One feature, however, will only be found in GM vehicles: the Teen Driver feature. It lets parents set limits on stereo volume and speed, minimize distractions, and even track new drivers’ driving habits, giving much-needed peace of mind.
Other standard, optional, and subscription-based features are available at our Chevy dealership, including the respected OnStar® system. To experience them in person, we invite you to Team Chevrolet, GMC, where you can get everything from information and Chevy financing to your test drive.
Installing an EV Home Charging Station
Gas prices are on the rise, and that means we’re seeing more and more interest in hybrid and electric Chevrolet cars, trucks, and SUVs. But many drivers are still unsure, especially when it comes to installing an electric vehicle charging station at home. Luckily, it’s easier than many drivers realize!
Chevy EV Charging Station
Installing a home charging station for your Chevrolet electric vehicle shouldn’t be a barrier to investing in a more fuel-efficient vehicle!
• Level Two Charging Station: This is the type of charging station most common for home charging. This offers a faster charge than is possible through a regular outlet, and it uses a 240-volt circuit. Most electricians can run a circuit into the garage, and you can set up your charger there. But now, it’s easier than ever thanks to Chevrolet home charger installation, which comes complimentary with an eligible purchase or lease.
• Covered Home Installation Promotion: When you purchase or lease a 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV or EV, standard installation costs — including permit fees — are covered. And thanks to a partnership with Qmerit, you won’t even have to find an electrician or get a permit. Here’s how it works:
o After you lease or purchase your 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV or EV, you’ll receive an e-mail from the Chevrolet company with an EV Install Form.
o Once you complete and turn in the form, Qmerit will help match you with a qualified electrician in your area.
o The electrician will take care of getting a permit and schedule a convenient time for installing your outlet.
o Once the installation is completed, you can start charging.

Even if you don’t qualify for the current home charging installation promotion, you can still learn more about home charging when you talk to one of our friendly professionals. Huntingdon, PA drivers can start their hybrid or electric vehicle journey at Team Chevrolet Buick GMC!
Service and Driving Tips to Save on Fuel
It’s the question on everyone’s mind these days — how can I improve my vehicle’s mileage and save on fuel? Whether you’re driving a Chevy Malibu or , Chevrolet, GMC service technicians have some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of every gallon and help you save money at the pump.
Gas-Saving Driving Tips
These are just a few ways you can improve mileage in your Chevrolet SUV.
- 1. Check Your Tires. Visit our service center for a tire rotation to make sure your tires are wearing evenly, since uneven wear can lead to increased fuel usage. And check your tire pressure regularly to make sure you’re getting the optimal inflation, which improves mileage. Make sure you keep a tire pressure gauge in your glove compartment, just in case.
- 2. Get Aerodynamic. The drag from things like roof racks or open windows at high speeds can mean your vehicle has to work harder to maintain its speed, which uses more fuel, so take advantage of the already aerodynamic designs on GMC, and Chevy vehicles for better mileage.
- 3. Go Easy. Whether you’re getting up to speed or getting ready for a stop, going slow and easy on acceleration and braking helps your vehicle use less gas, so take your time.
- 4. Take a Load Off. The more weight your vehicle is carrying, the more fuel it will need to keep moving, so take some time to clean out your car, truck, or SUV and make sure you’re only carrying what you need.
In addition to these tips, regular service is a good way to make sure you’re getting the most out of every tank of gas. Call Team Chevrolet, GMC today to schedule a service visit or talk to one of our friendly associates!
How to Clean the Bed of Your Chevy Silverado 1500
One of the reasons drivers love the Chevy Silverado 1500 is that they can use this tough pickup for work as well as for every day driving. But as our Huntingdon Chevy service technicians know, hard work can lead to big messes, especially in the bed of your truck. Today they’ve got their top tips for cleaning your Chevy Silverado bed, and their suggestions for protecting your truck bed.
Chevy Silverado Bed Cleaning Tips
The type of mess in your Chevy truck bed might affect what’s needed, but here are the basics for a good clean-up!
- Start with a sweep. Even if the mess is mostly mud or grease, cleaning will go more smoothly if you sweep out dust, dirt, and debris first.
- High pressure spray. If you don’t have a pressure washer a powerful hose will do, but the more powerful the spray the deeper you’ll get into the grime, and the easier the next step will be.
- Scrub your bed. A basic car soap should do the trick, combined with a stiff brush. Be sure to rinse and let your truck bed thoroughly dry (so pick a sunny day!) when you are done.
Protecting Your Truck Bed
Now that it’s clean, you’re going to want to protect the bed of your truck moving forward! Chevrolet accessories are the best way to do this. From a durable, easy-to-install bedliner to covers to better ways to organize, you can use Chevy accessories to get the most out of your pickup bed.

Avoid collisions with side-mirror visual alerts and blind zone alerts while changing lanes. Rear-park assist detects objects behind you when you reverse at low speeds, and rear cross-traffic alerts monitor approaching vehicles from behind.

How to Get the Most Money When Selling Your Used Car
There comes a time when we must rethink our relationship with our vehicle. Team Chevrolet, GMC can help you decide the best course for selling your used cars. While we understand you’ll want to keep your options open, we also offer a trade-in appraisal for used cars.
Here’s a list of factors to keep in mind to get the most when selling your used car.
Know Your Car’s Worth
So many things can impact a used car’s overall value: mileage, level of care and maintenance, model, make, and year. There are several ways to determine your car’s current value, with Kelley Blue Book being perhaps the most well-known.
Private Party or Dealer?
Once you have a baseline idea of what your car is worth, you can create an eye-catching advertisement yourself and try to sell it to a private party. Or, to take some of the hassle out of the process, you can approach a dealer like Team Chevrolet, GMC and negotiate a solid agreement.
Condition Disclosures & Level of Care
Any used vehicle is bound to develop some mechanical issues over time. Consider the cost of needed repairs or overdue service against your asking price. Do you get it fixed yourself or lower your price? A needed repair might turn off prospective buyers.
Dealers might not be scared off, however. Consider your options and try both sales routes to determine the level of interest.
Don’t Be Afraid to Negotiate
Don’t take the first offer. It’s your car, your time, and your money. Determine what’s most important: to free up space in your life for another car or try to profit from the sale. Know what your time and car are worth and stay focused.
Contact us here at Team Chevrolet, GMC for tips and advice on the best way to sell your used car!
