Keep Your Electrified Drives Exciting—Even Years from Now

Have you ever wondered how to optimally schedule Chevrolet EV maintenance? After all, your service now works slightly differently than a gas vehicle—especially since you no longer need to worry about scheduling oil changes. But are some services better than others? No need to panic, as today, we’ll help walk you through our top six tips to help your electric vehicle cruise in peak condition. Get started today by scheduling Chevrolet service at Spitzer Chevy North Canton near Alliance, OH.

    1. A Clean Car Isn’t Just for Looks

Our first tip is a service you can perform at home—and it involves cleaning your car. Sure, there’s plenty to love about the sleek look of your Chevrolet electric vehicle—but you also want to make sure you’re rinsing off debris under your car, like road salts that can eat away at your frame and eventually cause damage to your systems.

    1. Take a Brake—and Inspect Your Brakes

When you’re on the road, are you noticing extra sliding or a loud screeching sound when you try to stop? If so, schedule a brake pad inspection, as it’s likely time for a replacement. Also, keep in mind you won’t usually need to schedule brake service as often as in a gas car thanks to regenerative braking—but it’s still necessary.

    1. Get a Grip (Literally): How Are Your Tires?

Is it time for a new set of tires? The trick to knowing only costs one cent—so, pull out a penny and insert the coin head first in a tread groove—do you see the top of Honest Abe’s head? Then your tread is wearing too low, and you’ll want to schedule tire service to help you better stop, grip, and launch with finesse.

    1. No Oil…But Your Car Still Has Fluids—Top them Off

Smooth rides require the proper fluids—so have our technicians check your brake, washer, and coolant fluids and top off when necessary to assist in helping keep your powertrain running in peak condition while further helping you stop where you plan and cleaning off your windshield.

    1. Charge Up…But Not Too Much

One of the unique features of owning an EV involves charging your vehicle—but did you know charging too much is rough on your battery, and can even prematurely damage your power source? So, to play it safe, try to cut off your charge at 80% to help remove the risk of overcharging.

  1. Pick Your Trusted Chevrolet Dealership for Service

You want your EV to perform at its best—so why leave your ride in the hands of a sketchy third-party garage? Instead, trust us as your local Chevrolet service center and dealership to handle your maintenance needs, as we even hire certified experts to make repairs for speed and precision. When you’re ready to start, schedule your maintenance at Spitzer Chevy North Canton near Canal Fulton, OH. Our team is also eager to help you in any way possible, from answering questions about the specific service the Blazer EV demands to assisting you in judging when to get a tire rotation—and that’s barely the beginning of how we step up for you.
