When the temperatures rise and the open road calls, there’s nothing worse than car trouble disrupting your summer travel plans. Before you hit Highway 101 or cruise out to Bodega Bay, make sure your Chevy is road-trip ready with expert Chevrolet service in Santa Rosa.

At Platinum Chevrolet, your trusted Santa Rosa Chevy dealership, we’re here to help you enjoy every mile this summer, safely and stress-free.

Essential Summer Service Checks for Your Chevy

Hot weather and long drives can push your vehicle’s systems to the limit. Here are the top maintenance checks our Chevy dealership service team recommends before any summer getaway:

1. Cooling System Inspection

Sonoma County summers can get toasty. If your cooling system isn’t running efficiently, it could lead to engine overheating, a common cause of breakdowns in warm weather. Our certified techs will:

  • Check coolant levels and condition
  • Inspect hoses for cracks or leaks
  • Test the radiator and thermostat performance

2. Tire & Brake Safety

Whether you’re driving up the coast or navigating city streets, your tires and brakes are your first line of defense. We’ll make sure:

  • Tire pressure and tread are road-trip ready
  • There’s no uneven wear or sidewall damage
  • Brake pads, rotors, and fluid are all in top condition

3. Battery & Oil Service

Extreme heat is a battery killer. Combine that with long hours of engine activity, and your oil can degrade faster than usual. We recommend:

  • A full battery test (and replacement if needed)
  • Oil and filter changes using GM-recommended products
  • Inspection of belts, hoses, and fluid levels
