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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Call us, and our service advisors will be happy to schedule Chevy service that is convenient for you. Our

is the most qualified to maintain your rarely driven car.

Even the most robust

has its limits. If you have a heavy load to carry, choose a vehicle with high hauling and towing capacities, and always be mindful of how much weight you add. Heres what you need to know about your vehicles towing capacity and how Lester Glenn Chevrolet can help you find a powerful truck that meets your needs.

Overloading your truck can pose severe hazards on the road. Adding excessive weight forces every system in your vehicle to work harder than average. This can cause the engine to overheat as it struggles to compensate. It also results in increased wear and tear on other vital components of the suspension system, such as tire rods, steering arms, and brakes. Finally, overloading your Chevy truck can make your tires more likely to blow out, sending your vehicle out of control.

Before you load up your Chevy truck, its a good idea to check the vehicles maximum towing capacity to make sure youre within safe parameters. Since its a complex formula, save time using a VIN finder that gives you your vehicles GCWR, tow rating, and other vital statistics. You can also find these numbers (and other helpful information) printed on a sticker inside the drivers-side door jamb.

If you often have heavy loads to tow, you need a Chevy truck capable of handling them. Thats where we come in. At

Fall means shorter days, colder temperatures, and hazardous weather. Changing seasons can present a new set of dangers for drivers to be aware of. Here are three potential issues to watch out for this fall, and Lester Glenn Chevrolet can help with expert

!

The fall season marks the end of daylight savings time in New Jersey, and the sun will set earlier and rise later. This means you might have to be prepared to commute in the dark daily. Your cars head and taillights should be in working order all year round, but this becomes especially important as the days get shorter.

You might have had the A/C on all summer, but now is an excellent time to ensure the heat works appropriately in your car. You should also keep a careful eye on your tires, as they may experience significant drops in pressure as the air cools. Later in the season, we may see the first signs of frost. Be ready to scrape the ice off your windshield, and always drive cautiously on icy roads.

Everyone loves beautiful fall foliage, and falling leaves are one of the most iconic signs of autumn, but they can also mean unfavorable road conditions and less visibility. Ensure your tires are ready for the reduced traction of autumn dampness and fallen leaves.

Lester Glenn Chevrolet will assist with all your service needs this fall. Our expert technicians specialize in Chevrolet service and can help you prepare your car for safe fall driving. We can also provide genuine OEM

that were made to fit your vehicle. Schedule an appointment online to visit our Chevrolet Service Center in Toms River, NJ!

!

Healthy, operational brakes are nonnegotiable for safe and consistent driving, but brake hardware will degrade and become less reliable over time. Thats why having brake parts serviced or replaced regularly by professionals is integral to Chevy maintenance.

Common brake problems include:

Worn and cracked brake pads or rotors

Loosing-fitting brake pads

Uneven torque variation

Jammed caliper pistons

Air or contaminants in brake lines

If you suspect your vehicle is experiencing issues, schedule service with a professional to avoid a severe safety hazard. Sometimes its obvious theres a problem with your brakes, but other times the signs are subtle. Here are three signs your brakes need service right away:

The brake warning indicator should light up when the brakes are engaged. If the light remains on after you disengage the brake, it may mean that the brake pads are worn down or cannot release fully.

When brakes are engaged, unusual noises such as whirring, grinding, or squealing are symptoms of various hardware problems. A Chevy service professional can help you diagnose and repair these problems.

Loss of brake fluid is a sign of a leak, which is a serious safety hazard. If you notice this sign, schedule service immediately and avoid driving until the problem is fixed.

If youre concerned about your vehicles brakes, the best thing to do is to schedule an appointment at the

service center in Toms River, NJ. Our experienced professionals will ensure that every drive is safe, smooth, and fun!

No matter where youre going, theres nothing better than having your best friend by your side, especially during road trips. If you plan on going on an adventure with your pet, taking steps to keep both of you safe is essential. Here are four tips for driving safely with pets, courtesy of

.

If your pets arent used to riding in the car often, they may be anxious about doing so. Before you have them accompany you on a long-distance road trip, consider taking them on some shorter journeys so they can get used to the ride.

The backseat is the safest place for a pet. Its where they will be most secure in the event of an accident, and they wont be able to interfere with your driving.

Remember that our parts department carries and can special order

tailored to travel with pets. Since conventional seatbelts dont work for animals, consider investing in a safety harness seatbelt, carrier, or car seat designed for your pet. These will keep them safe at all times.

On longer trips, you may need something to keep your pets entertained along the way. More importantly, youll need to provide them with food and water. Bring any toys, blankets, or other items that will make your pet more comfortable, and stock up on treats, food, and water.

You should never leave your pets alone in the vehicle, even for short periods. Without you to watch them, they could escape, injure themselves, or cause damage. They may also overheat or become too cold if you are not there to regulate the temperature.

At Lester Glenn Chevrolet, we love animals, so were pleased to offer a selection of great accessories and vehicles for pet owners. For plenty of pet-friendly

Buying an electric vehicle like the

could be a great idea. Not only do EVs play a considerable role in reducing carbon emissions, but they can also help you save money and travel more efficiently. Before you hurry to Lester Glenn Chevrolet to buy a new car, here are three tips to prepare you for your first EV.

Before you drive your new EV home, knowing where you can charge it is essential. If you plan to rely on public charging stations, map out the ones in your area that will be most convenient for you.

The myChevrolet Mobile App can show you charging stations at grocery stores, gas stations, or even your workplace. Planning your trip in advance can do a lot to limit range anxiety so you can enjoy your trip, and you can install a charger at home so every voyage begins with a full battery.

When choosing an electric vehicle, you must determine whether its range will meet your needs. Pay attention to the miles you travel daily and ask yourself what you will need from an EV. If you drive a lot, you may want a vehicle with a higher driving range, such as the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV.

Both the federal government and many U.S. states are offering tax incentives for EV drivers, and its worth your while to find out which ones will be available to you to help save money.

There are many benefits to electric vehicles like the

, including helping you save on fuel and reducing your carbon footprint, but did you know they also have some significant tax benefits? Heres a breakdown of how EV tax credits work at New Jersey Chevy dealerships like Lester Glenn Chevrolet.

The federal government and the state of New Jersey currently offer non-refundable tax credits on the purchase of electric vehicles. This means you can significantly reduce the sales tax you owe on a new car by choosing an electric vehicle.

The federal government offers credits of up to $7,500 on qualifying vehicles. If the car youre purchasing meets the governments critical mineral or battery requirements, youll receive a tax credit of $3,750. Cars like the 2023 Chevy Bolt EV, which meet both requirements, are awarded a $7,500 tax credit.

An initiative called ChargeUp New Jersey allowed qualifying EV buyers to earn a state tax credit of $25 per mile of EPA-rated all-electric range up to $4,000. This program is temporarily paused and isnt expected to come back into effect until fiscal year 2024. However, things can and do change, and if that happens, your Chevy dealer will ensure you get every credit for which you qualify.

You can receive EV tax credits on any electric vehicle that meets the governments requirements. However, there are other prerequisites. You must purchase the car for your own use, intending to use it primarily in the US, and its MSRP must be below $55,000.

Some limits are also placed on your modified adjusted gross income (AGI). For instance, couples filing jointly with an AGI of over $300,000 cant receive these credits.

Lester Glenn Chevrolet proudly participates in the EV tax credit program by offering qualifying vehicles like the Chevy Bolt EV. Visit us today for
