That’s why it’s so useful to be able to recognize signs of vehicle wear, and indications that your car needs service. Schedule a service appointment at Wilkinson Chevrolet GMC if you notice any of the following signs.

1. Your Check Engine Light Comes On

Modern vehicles have a series of different lights and indicators that let you know something is wrong with one of the essential systems in your vehicle. If you notice the check engine light or any other icon on your dashboard, consult your manual before driving, and then schedule service right away.

2. You Notice Strange Sounds or Smells

You always want to pay attention to any strange smells or noises coming from your vehicle. Noises often mean that parts are grinding together, causing further damage or wear. Scents may be from burning, corrosion, or leaks, and should be addressed as soon as possible.

3. There is a Drop in Fuel Efficiency

One of the most obvious indications that your vehicle needs service is fuel economy. If you notice a sudden change in vehicle efficiency, it’s often because a part or system is no longer functioning at top capacity. It may even indicate an acute issue or damage that needs immediate care.

We’re sharing everything you need to know about getting your vehicle back out on the road after an accident, and best practices for if an accident does occur. Here are the steps you’ll want to take to keep yourself safe.

Get to a Safe Place
You always want to check yourself for signs of injury before moving. If you seem safe to move, try to get the car out of traffic or yourself away from hazards. If you have a passenger, check first yourself and then them for injuries before attempting to move.

Call for Help
Once you are in a safe place, you’ll want to contact emergency services right away. Even if there are no signs of injury or damage, a police officer will write a report about the incident, which is useful for navigating the insurance process.

Exchange Information
If your collision was with another vehicle, you’ll want to make sure that you exchange insurance and personal contact information with the other driver. This will help to ensure that you can begin the repair process as quickly as possible.

Document the Scene
The more details you have about the accident, the better. Take photos, write down information, and speak to witnesses about what they saw. This will help you when it comes to communicating with the insurance company.

File a Claim
You want to file a claim as soon as you can, as the process can take some time. Some insurance companies have mobile apps now, so you can even file from the scene.

Have you been searching for a GM dealership to find the service your vehicle needs? We’re answering our frequently asked service questions at Wilkinson Automotive so you can be confident your vehicle is well cared for.

How Often Do I Need Maintenance?
This question is tough to answer because the demands are different for every vehicle. Plus, it depends on the type of driving you do and even where you drive most. We encourage you to review your owner’s manual, which will include a recommended maintenance schedule for your vehicle.

What Type of Oil Do I Need?
There are a variety of engine oil types, each with different benefits.
• Conventional oil – is the most common and affordable type. There are a variety of viscosity and quality levels available.
• Synthetic oil – the premium oil is designed to last longer. You can often go over 15,000 miles between synthetic oil changes.
• Synthetic blend oil – is better quality than conventional oil, yet more affordable than synthetic oil.
• High-mileage oil – helps protect your vehicle against common high-mileage issues such as leaks.

What’ is a Tire Rotation?
Typically, we recommend rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. This includes exchanging your tires’ positions on your vehicle. Tire rotations help to keep your tires from wearing unevenly, which can lead to excessive damage and flats.

Why is My Check Engine Light On?
Your check engine light typically illuminates when there’s an issue with your vehicle’s emissions control system. This can stem from a number of problems in your car. If your check engine light is on, it’s important to visit our service center so we can diagnose the problem.

If you want to drive your car around, it needs to pass inspection. If your car fails its inspection, you need to fix any issues as soon as you can. Fortunately, the Chevrolet service center here at Wilkinson Automotive can help you get your car back into top shape.

What Happens During an Inspection
When your car is inspected, a mechanic takes a close look at a variety of systems and parts to make sure that your car is running safely. Your tires, lights, glass, brakes, and a wide array of other Chevy components are examined to make sure that they are in good shape. Things that could cause you to fail an inspection include:
• Worn tires
• A horn that doesn’t work
• Large windshield cracks
• Missing rear- or side-view mirrors
• Cracked headlights or taillights

Your car will also be examined to ensure that it’s not producing excess amounts of exhaust and emissions.

Many of the above issues are obvious safety hazards, but remember that you can fail inspections for more surprising reasons. Some common causes of failed inspections include wiper blades that are not operational and windows that are too darkly tinted.

What to Do if You Fail Inspection
If you do fail your inspection, you should be told exactly why. Then our Chevy mechanics can help you fix the problem. Whether it’s a major issue like a problem with your brakes or something minor like a broken taillight, we have the knowledge and new Chevy parts that you need to get your vehicle back into top shape. It’s important to act quickly because you can still get ticketed for not having a current inspection sticker, even if you are working on getting your car up to state standards.

Don’t delay if you need an inspection. Visit our Chevy service center in Sanford, NC and get your car ready for the road today!
