Your AWD equipped vehicle is able to adjust quickly on rough road surfaces, hug corners with precision, and deliver confident handling. To help your AWD vehicle perform at its peak, you need to service it regularly. And, there's no better place or no better team than Carr Chevrolet to help keep your vehicle running at its best.
Regular alignment and tire rotation
Your vehicle's AWD system is capable of sending varying levels of power to each tire as needed to enhance your traction. However, this also results in uneven tire wear over time. Uneven tires can seriously compromise your AWD system's performance and your vehicle's overall condition, so it's especially important to prevent this by following the recommended schedule for wheel alignments and tire rotations in your owner's manual.
Fluid replacements and flushes
Your AWD vehicle works hard, and it needs adequate fluid to keep components running smoothly. In addition to regular oil changes and brake fluid replacements as well as topping off coolant, power steering, and wiper fluids, you must address transfer case and differential fluid flushes. You can find the recommended guideline for flush intervals in your owner's manual. However, if you are pushing your vehicle hard with heavy towing or adventuring off-road, you may need to decrease the time between flushes.
Corrosion and damage review
If you enjoy taking your AWD vehicle off paved roads into unchartered or just challenging territories, you are exposing it to added danger. Sure, your vehicle can handle it, but you need to be cognizant of any damage it may incur from rocks, debris, or even salted surfaces. By spotting small spots of rust, you can prevent corrosion from taking over and ruining the look and function of your vehicle. It is important to examine every inch of your vehicle, including the exterior paint and undercarriage, especially after harsh weather or off-roading. An application of anti-corrosion spray to vital components can also support your protective efforts.
