The summer is a great time to hit the road in your vehicle. Before you take off on that big summer road trip, make sure that your vehicle is ready to go. To help you get started, we have provided this handy summer maintenance vehicle checklist to ensure that you don’t miss a thing. Also, if you are located in Perry, Stillwater, Enid, Covington, or Morrison, OK, visit us at Seth Wadley Chevrolet of Perry for a quick and convenient vehicle inspection and service.
You may be wondering what needs to be checked before you head out on the road. Here’s a look at six critical areas that should not be ignored before you go on your next summer drive.
Since your vehicle’s tires have consistent contact with the road, make sure that your vehicle’s tires have the proper pressure on them. Also, check for any signs of punctures or excessive wear. Finally, check for any cracks on the sidewalls.
Make sure that your vehicle’s battery is in top shape. You can check for symptoms of an old battery by looking for signs of corrosion on the battery and battery connectors. Also, check to see if the lights of your vehicle are as bright as usual. If not, that is a sure sign of an old or a dying battery.
You also want to make sure that all of your vehicle’s external lights are in proper shape. Be sure to check the headlights, taillights, and fog lamps. We can offer fast and affordable light replacement service with our OEM parts.
You don’t want to spend the summer in a vehicle with less than ideal air conditioning. Check each vent to ensure that the A/C system is providing proper airflow. We offer top A/C service on all Buick, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles.
Inspect the vehicle’s essential engine components.
Be sure to check your vehicle’s cabin and engine filters. If they appear dirty, then they need to be changed right away. Also, be sure to check your engine’s PCV valve for any signs of excessive wear.
Finally, check for any signs of coolant leaks under your vehicle. Coolant leaks appear as orange or lime green puddles. Also, see if your coolant fluid needs to be changed.

Just purchased a brand new 2021 Ford F-150 from Vance Country Ford. The entire process went fantastic from start to finish. A special thanks to our incredible salesperson, Diana Martinez. She really went above and beyond to satisfy our ever need. Make sure you ask for her if you’re in the market for a new vehicle.

We began looking for a vehicle and had a LIST of things we wanted! I called and spoke with Storm Ganzer and I made a plan to be there the next day. The next day, I bought a Tahoe from Storm. He was helpful and courteous! He treated my 6-year-old son like HE was the one buying the car – which made it fun for all of us! My son loved the experience and LOVES our new car. Storm did EXACTLY what he said he would do and earned our trust and our business. I was drawn into Vance Auto Group by their Lifetime PowerTrain Guarantee on Pre-Owned Vehicles. Storm got us everything we wanted in our Tahoe and most importantly, he was honest and genuine. Thank you, Storm! We appreciate you!

I have been dealing with John Vance Dodge in Guthrie OK for a little over a year now. EVERY department from sales, body shop, and service (yes, I have needed them all) have been over the top. Sales – Not pushy, just really try to help with your needs. Body Shop – Mike, Van, and the team are the best. Work hard to make sure you are satisfied. Service – Gabe Scheer and his team bend over backwards to help. I just had an emergency that needed fixed now. DONE! Thank you all. It is really refreshing to find a place where service means something and the people you serve matter. Go see them!

Chris Giberson was incredibly helpful in buying a used car from out of state. It was the easiest car buying experience I’ve had despite traveling 600+ miles!
