Chevrolet Service 101: How Do You Maintain a Rarely Driven Car?

Regularly driven cars need maintenance, but even a classic car that spends most of its time in a garage still needs TLC.

Chevrolet service

is just as crucial for a rarely driven car. Lester Glenn Chevrolet provides certified Chevrolet service and advice on caring for your collector car.

Change the Oil

Follow the policy of whichever comes first. If the suggested service interval is every 5,000 miles or every six months, you should follow the every six months rule. Fluids in your car, such as oil, can degrade over time, so it is best to keep them fresh.

Let it Run

Engines are made to run, not to sit. Turn the car on periodically and let it run for a bit, or better still take it for a highway tune-up. This allows the circulation of fluids to keep your car lubricated and perform optimally with a full battery charge when you take it for a spin.

Replace Tires on Schedule

Your tires may have excellent tread depth, but time degrades them as surely as travel. If theyre more than five or six years old including the spare consider replacing them.

Keep a Full Tank

Try to keep your car filled with gasoline. If your gas tank is not full, it can cause the inside of the fuel tank to rust, causing severe problems in the long run.

Check for Unwanted Guests

A car that sits for long periods is an excellent place for unwanted passengers like rodents. Inspect the trunk, cabin (especially the cabin filter, commonly used to build nests), and under seats, looking for torn paper scraps or pieces of seat cushion filling that are a dead giveaway for unwelcome inhabitants.
