EVERY 5,000 MILES
Chevrolet Recommended Service
- Oil Change & Tire Rotation
For an average car owner, the oil should be changed every 5,000 miles. This general estimate is what Chevrolet recommends for factory servicing of its vehicles, but results may vary from owner to owner depending on vehicle driving habits, with more regularly scheduled maintenance being required for severe use applications such as hauling heavy loads on a regular basis.
A Chevrolet oil change at JK Chevrolet includes a complete draining and refilling of the oil in your vehicle, replacing the oil filter, and an optional tire rotation service. We recommend rotating your tires on a regular basis to ensure that you can get the most life out of your tires in addition to making sure that they are in good shape before you leave our Chevrolet Service Center.

When it comes to doing your first big service on your vehicle, 15,000 miles is when we recommend servicing more than just the oil being changed and the tires rotated. During this visit to the Chevrolet Service Center near you, our Chevrolet Certified Service experts recommend taking a look at 2 crucial components of your carās systems that keep you going down the road.
The first thing that will be checked and one of the most important components of a car are the brakes. As you well know, the brakes are what ensure that you can safely stop when needed, and neglecting them can lead to an annoying squeak or the inability to stop as soon as needed to avoid a potential disaster. During this 15k service visit, our technicians will check the braking system on your vehicle to ensure that everything is in order.
While your car is suspended in the air in our Chevrolet Service Department, our mechanics will also verify that your Chevroletās transmission fluid is in good shape and filled to an adequate level to ensure smooth operation. In the event that it is low on fluid or discolored, our Service Advisors will speak about how to remedy the situation so that you can leave satisfied knowing that your transmission is in good shape.

At your 30,000-mile service appointment, the Chevrolet Service Team at JK Chevrolet will be giving your Chevrolet a more comprehensive inspection to make sure that everything on your vehicle in is working order.
In addition to the services that are included in your 15k service interval, your Chevrolet maintenance technician will be checking the battery on your car, truck, or SUV. Routine inspection of a vehicle's battery is crucial to ensuring that it is healthy and able to start your vehicle reliably. Most modern batteries last an average of 3 to 5 years depending on use, which roughly equates to 30,000-50,000 miles for an average driver.
As outlined in the 15k service visit, the brakes on your vehicle are one of the most important pieces of your vehicleās safety systems, and keeping them in good shape is a must. During the 30k service appointment, your brakes will receive a more thorough inspection that includes taking a look at the brake fluid, measuring the thickness of your brake pads, and examining the surface of your brake rotors to ensure they arenāt warped.
Last but not least, we will also inspect all of the belts and hoses on your vehicle to make sure that there are no leaks or damage that has occurred during the last 30k miles of being driven. These include the drive belts, coolant hoses, power steering lines, brake lines, and several other parts on your Chevrolet.

As always, the Chevy Dealership Service Experts at JK Chevrolet are here to help you keep your truck, car, or SUV maintained and trouble-free for years to come!
Like the other major service intervals that we have covered, the 60k service on your vehicle is similar to the service that was performed at 30k miles with a few extra maintenance items scheduled to be taken care of when you come into your local Chevrolet repair shop here at JK Chevrolet.
At 60k miles Chevrolet recommends having both your transmission and cooling system serviced. What this means for you is that our Chevrolet Service technicians will be performing a drain and fill on both your transmission and radiator to make sure that the fluid in each system is flesh and ready for another 60k miles of wear and tear.
Failing to service these two systems can ultimately lead to a very costly repair in the form of a transmission that needs to be repaired or replaced and an engine that overheated due to lack of maintenance on the cooling system.
In addition to the transmission and cooling system service, we will also inspect and generally recommend replacing your wiper blades at this point in time if they havenāt already been replaced. We will also top off your windshield washer fluid to make sure you can keep your windshield clear of dirt and debris.
We will also do an exterior light check to make sure that all exterior lights are in working order so that you can see and be seen by other drivers as you drive your car on a daily basis.

A worn set of spark plugs can lead to a loss of power, poor gas mileage, and engine damage in rare instances.
During this service appointment, it may be time to replace some of the drive belts on your vehicle such as the serpentine belt that helps to drive several systems in your vehicles such as the air conditioner, power steering, and many other components. The drive belts on your vehicle wear over time as they stretch and start to crack so we recommend replacing them before they slip or break and damage vital engine parts!
Our Chevrolet Service experts will also go through all of your vehicleās safety features with a fine-toothed comb to ensure that they are in working order. Whether it be your airbag system, emergency braking feature, or backup cameras, we will ensure that everything is working as it should before you hit the road again in your Chevrolet!
