Image via Pixabay So, you're cruising along in your trusty Chevrolet, enjoying a podcast or belting out some classics, when suddenly – thud! Your car feels wobbly, and you know what's happened even before you see the dashboard light up. It's a flat tire. But you don't have to sweat it. With some easy tips from your Chevy dealership, you can go from 'oh no' to 'all fixed' in no time. more Safety First, Always! Before we dive into the repair, remember your well-being is the top priority. Once you realize you have a flat, you need to signal, slow down without any sudden braking, and find a safe spot to pull over. Think wide shoulders, parking lots, or side streets. Avoid stopping in the middle of a busy road. Turn on your hazard lights. This alerts other drivers that something's up, especially in low light or foggy conditions. Assemble Your Superhero Toolkit It's always wise to keep a basic tire repair kit in the trunk of your car. This should include a spare tire (also called a "donut"), a jack, and a lug wrench. It might be smart to keep a flashlight and a pair of gloves in there, too. The Great Flat Tire Swap Then it's time to roll up those sleeves and get down to business. Start by slightly loosening each lug nut with the wrench. You're not taking them off yet, just a slight turn will do. Then, position the jack under the car frame near the flat. If you're unsure where to put it, check your Chevy's manual. Raise the car slowly until the tire that's gone flat is off the ground. Now, fully remove those lug nuts and set them aside so that you won't lose them. Slide the flat off. Get your spare tire and align it with the wheel bolts. Then, push it in place. Screw each lug nut back on by hand. They should be snug, but not fully tight just yet. Taking Things Down a Notch Lower your car slowly with the jack until it's back on the ground. Now, using the lug wrench, tighten those lug nuts in a crisscross pattern to apply even pressure. Put all your tools back where they came from, and put the flat in the trunk. You're good to go! Get the Flat Fixed at Your Chevy Dealership Finally, head to the dealership to get your flat repaired or replaced. With help from the professional technicians at your local service center, you and your car will be back on the road quickly. It's never fun when things go wrong, but knowing what to do can turn a potential disaster into a simple pit stop. Remember to periodically check your tires for wear and tear and maintain proper inflation to reduce your chances of tire trouble on the road. If a problem sneaks up on you, give Bommarito Chevrolet South County a call to get back on the road in no time!

Image via Shutterstock The combustion process inside your car's engine requires a constant inflow of fresh oxygen to mix with the fuel. Your car air filter prevents dust and contaminants from entering the engine, but a clogged air filter can restrict the airflow, which is bad news for the engine. If you notice the following warning signs, you may need to visit your nearest Chevy dealership promptly to have your air filter replaced. more Your Engine Starts Misfiring When the fuel-air mixture inside your engine's combustion chambers gets thrown out of balance by a clogged air filter, an excess of fuel begins to build up. This excess of unburned fuel can foul the spark plugs, causing them to misfire. This will make your car jolt and make strange coughing and sputtering sounds. Misfiring usually becomes more obvious when you slow down or pause with the engine idling. Your Engine Loses Power As the cylinders become oxygen-starved by a clogged air filter, the combustion process worsens and the engine loses power. You may find it harder to accelerate when you need to cross a busy intersection or speed up when coming out of a curve. Your Fuel Efficiency Falls Without sufficient air to mix with the fuel and combust optimally, the car's fuel efficiency will also decline. As a result, you'll find yourself driving fewer and fewer miles on each full tank of gas. Your Engine's Slow To Start An engine with a clogged air filter may also have trouble starting in the morning. As unburned fuel leaves a sooty residue on the spark plugs, the unreliable sparking process struggles to deliver the strong voltage needed to start up the engine. Smoke Pours From Your Tailpipe When an engine starts misfiring, unburned fuel can eventually begin to leak back into the exhaust system. Once there, the fuel can partially ignite as it runs back through the exhaust pipes. This would result in black smoke pouring out from the tailpipe. Your Check Engine Light Turns On The variety of engine problems caused by a clogged air filter will soon be picked up by the car's sensors. You'll then see the check engine light come to life on your dashboard. Your Chevy Dealership Suggests a New Filter During your regular vehicle checkups at your local dealership, the technician will inspect the condition of your air filter. When they notice the filter dirtying to the point where it might soon cause engine problems, they'll recommend installing a new one. Have your car's air filter examined and replaced today at Bommarito Chevrolet South County. We have an extensive inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles and experienced, knowledgeable sales staff and technicians who can help resolve any vehicle-related needs you have.

Fortunately, your local Chevy dealer offers a number of vehicles that have attractive features as well as good fuel efficiency. 4 Vehicles With Excellent Fuel Efficiency at Your Local Chevy Dealer 1.

Chevy Trailblazer If you're looking for an SUV that gets good gas mileage, check out the Chevy Trailblazer, which gets a combined 30 miles per gallon. Depending on which trim level you go for, this vehicle will have either a 1.2-liter or a 1.3-liter three-cylinder engine. The Trailblazer has an 11-inch touchscreen infotainment system that features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Sirius XM Satellite Radio. The Trailblazer is a good option for drivers who are hauling items. In addition to a generous rear cargo area and a back seat that folds down, the front passenger seat can also fold down, making it possible to transport extra-long items. 3.

Chevy Silverado 1500 Vehicles that are lighter in weight tend to get better gas mileage because it takes less power to move them. But sometimes you need a larger vehicle, and the Chevy Silverado 1500 is a workhorse that still gets a respectable 23 miles per gallon on city streets and 31 miles per gallon on the highway. The Silverado, which is powered by a 3-liter turbo-diesel engine, can tow up to 13,300 pounds when properly equipped. Chevrolet has a terrific lineup of vehicles with great gas mileage.

Image via Shutterstock Is your Chevy car overheating? An overheating engine can lead to extensive repairs if left unchecked. Luckily, your local Chevy dealer has factory-trained technicians who can accurately diagnose your vehicle and fix overheating issues. more Radiator Issues The radiator keeps the engine cool by dissipating heat from the coolant. If the radiator is damaged, clogged with debris, or has a faulty fan, it won't remove heat from the coolant. The temperature gauge will start to rise, and you may notice steam coming from under the hood. Your dealer will flush the radiator, replace the broken fan, and replace the radiator if it's damaged. Low Coolant Coolant absorbs heat from the engine and keeps the vehicle running optimally. Low coolant levels or coolant leaks reduce the amount of fluid available to cool the engine. This causes the low coolant warning and check engine lights to come on. Your Chevy technician can inspect the cooling system, fix any leaks, and top up the coolant to restore proper cooling to the system. Defective Water Pump Your Chevy has a water pump that circulates coolant through the engine to absorb heat. If the pump is broken, coolant flow will be reduced, and the engine will overheat. You may also notice coolant leaks from the pump and a loose drive belt. The solution is to replace the faulty water pump and inspect the mounting gasket, replacing it if necessary. Your dealer's technicians have the expertise to accurately diagnose water pump issues. If you need a new pump, they will order and install a factory one for you. Low Engine Oil Oil lubricates the mechanical components in the engine and cools them down. Low oil levels reduce this cooling ability, causing the moving parts to grind against one another. The friction that occurs during movement causes the parts to overheat. If you have low oil, the oil warning light will come on, and you may notice visible leaks under the car. Don't drive your car with low oil, as lack of lubrication can cause premature wear and tear to engine components. Visit your dealer so they can check the engine for oil leaks, repair damaged components, and top off the oil for optimal engine lubrication. Thermostat Failure The thermostat is a valve that controls the flow of coolant to the engine. When the engine is starting, the valve stays closed, and coolant doesn't circulate. When the engine reaches operating temperature, the valve opens to allow coolant to flow and cool down the components. If the thermostat fails, it can get stuck in the closed position, restricting coolant flow and causing the engine to overheat. Your dealer's technicians can test the thermostat for faults and replace it to allow proper coolant flow to the engine. Don't panic if you see your Chevy's temperature gauge start to climb. Contact Bommarito Chevrolet South County to schedule a comprehensive engine diagnosis and repair.
