check engine light

Check Engine Light Diagnostic

If your check engine light is on, don't wait. Our diagnostic tools can quickly identify the issue and prevent a minor problem from turning into a costly summer repair.

brakes

Brake Inspection

Your brakes are critical for safe driving-especially in wet or high-traffic summer conditions. If you notice squeaking, soft pedals, or slower stops, let us inspect your brake pads and rotors.

battery

Battery Test

Extreme heat can stress your car's battery, especially if it's weak from winter. Our technicians will test its strength, check for corrosion, and replace it if needed. A quick check now helps avoid getting stranded.

Tire Check

Check Your Tires

Tire tread and pressure are key to summer safety. Temperature changes can cause pressure fluctuations. Stop by Bertera Chevrolet for a tire check or explore our current [tire specials].

alignment

Suspension, Steering & Alignment

Before you hit the road for summer trips, make sure your ride is smooth and safe. We'll check your steering components, shocks, struts, and alignment for any issues caused by winter roads.

Don't Overlook These Easy Fixes

💡 Lights & Bulbs

Walk around your car at dusk and check that all lights are working-headlights, brake lights, flashers, and turn signals. We'll replace any burned-out bulbs and make sure you're seen on the road.

❄️ A/C, Heater & Ventilation

Make sure your air conditioning system is blowing cold air and your heater and defrosters are still working properly. We'll check your climate controls and vents to keep you cool and comfortable.

🌧️ Windshield Wipers & Washer Fluid

If your wipers are streaking or skipping, now's the time to replace them. We'll also top off your washer fluid and inspect your windshield for chips or cracks.

🌀 Cabin Air Filter

A clean cabin air filter helps improve airflow and air quality inside your vehicle. It also helps your A/C work more efficiently-something you'll appreciate during a heatwave!
