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.

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.

Chevy SUV

Whether you’re driving one of our new electric vehicles or you’re putting your Chevy truck to the test every day on the worksite, one thing is always true. Keeping up on Chevrolet service is critically important if you want your vehicle to last a long time. Fortunately, the trained Chevrolet technicians here at Wilkinson Automotive can help you with all of your car care needs.

Here’s why sticking to your routine maintenance schedule is a top priority.

You Avoid Bigger Problems


One great thing about routine maintenance is that it can help you avoid larger and more complex mechanical problems down the line. Keep up with oil changes and you can avoid engine damage. Get a wheel alignment when needed and you’ll have a better chance of avoiding suspension issues in the future. These are just a couple of examples, but we assure you that there are many more problems that could arise when you ignore your car’s maintenance needs.

You Save Money


Those bigger mechanical problems also cost a lot more money to fix. If you skip those quick and inexpensive maintenance tasks, your wallet is likely to pay for it later.
It can be tempting to put off visits to the mechanic when you know that the trip is going to cost you money. Just know that putting off those trips can cost you a lot more money in the long run.

Your Car is Safer


Keeping up with Chevrolet maintenance can also make your vehicle safer. Your routine maintenance appointments allow us to check up on the tires, brakes, and other crucial parts of your car. We can spot any safety issues and make the necessary repairs before you get back out on the road.

If you need repairs or new Chevy parts, don’t delay. Make an appointment at our Chevy service center in Sanford, NC, and talk to our expert mechanics as soon as possible. We look forward to helping you!
