When it comes to transmission problems, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Modern automatic transmissions are enormously complex, especially the internal workings of the planetary gear system. So once a transmission problem has been allowed to develop, it can be pretty costly to fix. But with routine transmission service at your local Chevy dealer, you're far less likely to ever face the bill for a serious transmission repair job. more How Often Should You Get Routine Transmission Service at Your Local Chevy Dealer? As the name suggests, transmissions serve the function of transmitting power from your engine to the wheels. This put the transmission under a great deal of continuous heat and pressure. To keep functioning under all this force, the gear system requires fresh, high-quality transmission fluid. This remarkably sophisticated fluid lubricates the gears, cleans debris and metal fragments away from them, maintains necessary hydraulic pressure, and combats corrosion all at once. What Transmission Servicing Entails If the quality and quantity of your transmission fluid are maintained, you'll avoid most of the common transmission trouble drivers run into. The key to this is regular servicing visits. Along with checking and flushing your transmission fluid, full servicing usually involves cleaning or replacing the fluid filter, cleaning out the sump pump and pan, and replacing the pan gasket. The primary purposes of a service visit are to ensure the fluid is good, there's no sign of a leak, and debris isn't building up inside the transmission. Service Automatic Transmissions Every 60,000 to 100,000 Miles As 96% of drivers now have automatic transmissions, most drivers only need full transmission servicing every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. But to always ensure maximum performance, transmission fluid levels should ideally be checked once a month. Service Manual Transmissions Every 30,000 to 60,000 Miles Manual transmissions tend to have a little more wear and tear in the internal gears and bearings. This releases more metal shavings and debris into the transmission fluid, causing the fluid to lose function faster. As a result, manual transmissions should be fully serviced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. But fluid levels should also be checked every month. Tougher Driving Conditions There's a range with these transmission servicing intervals because some driving conditions put transmissions under more pressure. If you're frequently driving short distances of under five miles, for example, you should have your vehicle's gearbox serviced more often. Heavy traffic, steep roads, heavy loads, and very cold temperatures also take an additional toll on transmissions. So, if your regular driving conditions include any of these factors, consider having your transmission looked over by a technician more often. Visit Randy Wise Chevrolet today to have your transmission examined and repaired by experienced technicians. We're a local award-winning dealership that always puts the customer first.

Headlights are essential for your driving safety, as they allow you to see and be seen at night or in other low-light conditions. Your headlight bulbs can fail or get damaged, and you'll need new headlights from your Chevy dealer. These are some of the signs you need a headlight repair or replacement. more Signs You Need New Headlights at Your Chevy Dealer The Headlights Are Dim Dim headlights are usually a sign that the bulbs are failing. Headlight bulbs, like a lightbulb in your home, will eventually burn out and need replacement. They can also be affected by electrical problems or a cracked lens. These issues will reduce your headlight illumination, making your car more difficult to see at night. As headlight bulbs wear out, they will either dim or flicker. These are both signs that the bulb will need replacement soon. If this is the problem, we can easily replace the bulbs. It's advisable to replace both bulbs, even if only one bulb is dim. Bulbs are installed in pairs, and if one has failed, the other will probably fail in a few days. Replacing them together removes the need to come back to have the other bulb replaced. White Spots on the Lens Each headlight has a clear plastic lens that covers it. The lens has an air-tight seal and protects the bulb and its socket from dirt, debris, and water. A lens can get scratched or cracked as time passes. A small stone thrown up from the street could easily damage the plastic. A cracked lens will allow water to enter the headlight cavity. Headlight bulbs generate heat, especially in the close confines of the headlight cavity. Water that enters the cavity will quickly dry in the heat and leave behind tell-tale white dots inside the lens. If you see these dots, your cover needs replacement. Over time, water can rust the bulb socket or damage the electrical system. We can easily replace a lens to fix this problem. High Beams Don't Work Your headlights can be adjusted between low beam and high beam the high beam is particularly useful in the dark when there are no other vehicles. This beam is angled to shine directly ahead, which gives you a clear view of the road in front of you. These beams shouldn't be used when there are other cars on the streets. The beam's angle can temporarily blind an oncoming driver and cause an accident. A switch on your dash controls high and low beams. This switch activates an electrical relay that adjusts the beam's angle. A damaged relay prevents the angle from changing from a low to a high beam. We can test the relay and fit a new one so your headlights will work correctly. Call us today at Randy Wise Chevrolet if you have a headlight problem.
