Seasonal care keeps your Chevy ready year-round-and safe in whatever weather comes.

**Winter preparation:** Cold temperatures are hard on batteries, oil, and tires. Our team checks battery health, switches to winter-grade oil if needed, inspects tire tread and pressure (cold air reduces pressure), top off windshield washer fluid, test heating and defroster, and check wipers and brakes.

**Summer readiness:** Heat stresses cooling systems and tires. We'll inspect your radiator and coolant, check A/C performance, verify tire alignment and condition, top off fluids, and inspect belts and hoses for cracks or wear.

**Year-round:** Regardless of season, rotate tires regularly, monitor fluid levels, and replace air filters as needed.

Castle Chevrolet of Villa Park technicians know exactly what your specific model needs. They'll advise which services are due and help you prioritize.

**Ready to prepare?** Call **(630) 279-5200** to schedule seasonal maintenance and drive with confidence.
