Monthly Checklist

Visit your local Chabill’s once a month to ensure your vehicle continues to operate correctly and run smoothly. You can also perform your own brief vehicle check by following a few simple recommendations for owner maintenance. A few minutes each month could save you money on repairs down the line.

• Check battery cables, clamps, and terminals
• Check the following levels, and add the recommended fluids as necessary:
• Oil level
• Engine coolant level
• Brake fluid level
• Power steering fluid level (if applicable)
• Transmission fluid
• Windshield washer fluid reservoir level
• Check belts for tension, cracks, or wear
• Check hoses for leaks, cracks, or wear
• Check the engine and under the car for any leaks
• Check tire pressure on all tires, including the spare tire, and inflate to manufacturer’s recommendations while cold.
• Check the tread depth. The tread should be at least as deep as the head on a penny. (At least 2/32" remaining tread.)
• Check tires for uneven wear or any object that could cause a puncture.
