Spring Car Maintenance Tips for Chevrolet Owners

Spring is the perfect time to give your Chevrolet a once-over and address any issues after the long winter months. To help you out, we’ve put together a complete guide of key spring maintenance for your Chevrolet to keep things running smoothly.

Your Step-By-Step Guide

1. Wash the Undercarriage

Winter roads leave salt and grime stuck to your vehicle’s underside. Over time, this can lead to rust and corrosion. Use a hose with decent pressure to wash away the salt, paying particular attention to the areas around the wheels and underneath your Chevrolet.

2. Check and Change Wiper Blades

Cold weather and ice can damage your wiper blades, wearing down the rubber, making them less effective and potentially scratching your windshield. Inspect your wipers for any cracks, tears, or loose rubber, and have them replaced if needed. You’ll be glad you did when the next spring rainstorm hits. 

3. Inspect Tires and Adjust Pressure

Temperature changes impact tire pressure. Throughout the winter months, weather fluctuations will likely have done a number on the air in your tires. To avoid trouble on the road, ensure all your tires, including the spare, have the correct amount of air, as recommended by your manufacturer. While you’re at it, check your tire tread for uneven wear or damage. 

4. Test the Battery

Cold weather can be hard on batteries. An essential part of Chevrolet maintenance is testing your battery to ensure it’s holding a good charge. Clean off any corrosion on the terminals and ensure the connections are tight. 

5. Top Up and Replace Fluids

Check and maintain all the important fluids in your Chevrolet, including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Top them up if they’re low and have them replaced if they look dirty or old.

6. Inspect Brakes 

When you’re out driving your Chevrolet, listen for any unusual noises when you brake, such as squealing or grinding. These sounds could mean your brake pads are worn, or that there is another issue. Have a professional check your brakes to ensure they’re working properly. 

7. Examine Belts and Hoses

Cold temperatures can cause belts and hoses under the hood of your vehicle to become brittle or crack. As a part of your Chevy maintenance routine, inspect them for any signs of wear, including fraying or leaking, and replace any that look damaged.  

8. Change Air Filters 

Over time, your air filters can get clogged with dust and debris, reducing your vehicle’s efficiency. Replacing both the cabin air filter and the engine filter can help increase airflow and maintain good engine performance in your Chevrolet.

9. Clean the Inside and Outside 

Remove any clutter from inside your car—that includes lingering dirt and mud, forgotten garbage, and those items you didn’t feel like carrying in on the cold days. Once the interior is clear, give the carpets a good vacuum and wipe down all the surfaces. Finally, wash the exterior to get rid of any remaining salt and consider applying a coat of wax to help protect the paint.

Spring Maintenance Made Easy at Shaganappi GM  

Giving your vehicle some extra love as spring rolls in will pay off in the long run. Keep your Chevrolet running its best with regular checkups and maintenance. Save yourself the trouble, and contact the experts at Shaganappi GM. We’ll take care of all your Chevrolet’s maintenance so you can enjoy a smooth ride this spring.

Comparing Full-Size SUVs: 2024 GMC Yukon vs. 2024 Ford Expedition

The 2024 GMC Yukon and the 2024 Ford Expedition are both impressive full-size SUVs, but the Yukon stands out with its luxurious refinements and superior performance. While both of these vehicles have similar capabilities in terms of space, capacity, towing, and fuel efficiency, the Yukon’s enhanced driving experience and attention to detail put it at the head of its class.

In this comparative overview, we’ll delve into the specifics of each SUV’s performance, technology, and safety features. You’ll see how the Yukon’s powerful engine options, luxury interior, and cutting-edge technology create a driving experience that surpasses the Expedition.

Performance

When it comes to performance, the Yukon and Expedition both deliver impressive power, but the 2024 GMC Yukon offers a wider range of options to suit individual preferences. The Expeditions twin-turbocharged V6 provides ample power for most driving situations, with a notable boost in Limited models.

However, the Yukon’s trio of engine choices truly shines. Whether you prefer the balanced power of the 5.3-litre V8, the high-level performance of the 6.2-litre V8, or the impressive torque and efficiency of the 3.0-litre inline-six, the Yukon has an engine to match your driving style. Each of these engines in the 2024 GMC Yukon is paired with a smooth 10speed automatic transmission, as well as optional all-wheel or rear-wheel drive for added control and customization.

Technology

Both the Expedition and Yukon offer impressive infotainment systems, but the Yukon’s user-friendly interface gives it a distinct advantage. The Expedition’s standard 12.0-inch touchscreen with Ford’s Sync 4 software is undoubtedly a strong contender, offering wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a convenient Wi-Fi hotspot.

The Yukon’s infotainment system takes it a step further. All Yukon models come equipped with GMC’s latest, intuitive interface, boasting a large display that’s easy to navigate. SLE, SLT, and AT4 models feature a prominent display that commands attention in the center of the dashboard. The real showstopper, though, is the Denali model’s display. It’s elegantly integrated into the dashboard, surrounded by gleaming chrome accents that exude luxury and refinement. This design not only elevates the Yukon’s interior aesthetic but also enhances the overall user experience.

Safety

While both the Yukon and Expedition come with plenty of safety features, the Yukon’s emphasis on standard technology and robust build quality prioritize comprehensive protection over niche features.

The Expedition comes with Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free driving feature in its Platinum model, which appeals to tech-savvy drivers seeking cutting-edge automation. However, the Yukon takes a more holistic approach to safety, including a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features at ever trim level. This includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning.

Test Drive the 2024 GMC Yukon in Calgary at Shaganappi GM

The 2024 GMC Yukon is the ultimate full-size SUV for families and adventure enthusiasts alike. It offers comfort, style, and high-level performance, outshining the competition in every category.

SUV Showdown: Pitting the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox Against the 2024 RAV4

The 2024 Chevrolet Equinox and the Toyota RAV4 are both strong contenders in the SUV market, each with its own set of strengths. The Equinox offers affordability, a smooth ride, and impressive infotainment, while the RAV4 excels in practicality and its rugged aesthetic. While both SUVs offer impressive performance metrics and versatility for a variety of drivers, the 2024 Equinox stands out in several areas, especially when it comes to daily driving.

Performance

While both the Chevrolet Equinox and Toyota RAV4 deliver satisfactory performance, the 2024 Chevy Equinox edges out its competitor in key areas. Its turbocharged engine offers a responsive driving experience and excellent fuel efficiency, making it an ideal choice for daily commutes and road trips alike. The Chevy Equinox’s optional all-wheel-drive system adds to its appeal, providing enhanced traction and control in various weather conditions.

The RAV4, with its naturally aspirated engine, may offer slightly more power, but it lacks the peppy acceleration and impressive fuel economy of the Equinox. Additionally, the RAV4’s standard front-wheel-drive configuration might not appeal to drivers who prioritize all-weather capability. While the RAV4 provides a solid driving experience, the Equinox’s overall performance and efficiency make it a more compelling choice for discerning drivers.

Interior

When it comes to interiors, the 2024 Chevy Equinox takes the lead with its refined, family-friendly design. It boasts a spacious cabin with high-quality materials and a user-friendly infotainment system, making it the ideal vehicle for long family road trips or daily commutes around town. Whether it’s keeping the kids entertained or ensuring a comfortable ride for all, the Equinox’s interior does not disappoint.

While the RAV4 offers a decent amount of cargo space and standard driver-assistance features, its interior falls short when compared to the Equinox’s premium feel. The RAV4’s cabin, while functional, lacks the same level of refinement and comfort that the equinox provides. For Calgary drivers seeking a well-rounded SUV with a comfortable, stylish interior, the Chevrolet Equinox is the clear winner.

Test Drive the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox in Calgary at Shaganappi GM

When comparing the benefits of the 2024 Chevy Equinox and the Toyota RAV4, the Equinox stands out as the better choice for Calgary drivers. Its combination of budget-friendly pricing, infotainment features, comfort, and drivability put it at the forefront of the compact SUV market.

To test drive the 2024 Equinox in Calgary, visit us at Shaganappi GM at 4720 Crowchild Trail NW or contact our sales department today.

The 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer: How Does it Stack Up Against the Mazda CX-30?

The compact SUV arena is fiercely competitive, but the Chevrolet Trailblazer consistently stands out, even against strong contenders like the Mazda CX-30. The Trailblazer emerges as the clear winner for buyers seeking a perfect blend of style, performance, and value. Let’s get into the details
and see why it outshines its rival.

View Chevrolet Trailblazer inventory at Shaganappi GM in Calgary.

Design Aesthetics: Bold and Adventurous

2024 Chevy Trailblazer

The Trailblazer’s design language is a breath of fresh air. Its sharp lines, bold grille, and available two-tone paint schemes create a rugged and adventurous aura that commands attention on the road. It’s a head-turner that exudes confidence and capability.

2024 Mazda CX-30

While the CX-30 boasts Mazda’s Kodo design philosophy, it results in a somewhat generic and predictable look. The curves, though elegant, lack the Trailblazer’s distinctiveness. It blends into the urban landscape rather than standing out.

Verdict

The Trailblazer’s striking design sets it apart. It’s a statement of individuality and a reflection of an active lifestyle.

Driving Dynamics: Engaging and Spirited

2024 Chevy Trailblazer

The Trailblazer delivers a comfortable and exhilarating driving experience. Its well-tuned suspension absorbs bumps with ease, while the available turbocharged engine provides a surge of power that makes every drive exciting. It handles corners with confidence and inspires a sense of
control.

2024 Mazda CX-30

Though the CX-30 offers decent handling, it falls short of the Trailblazer’s dynamic prowess. Its ride can feel a bit harsh on rough roads, and the engine, even with the turbo option, lacks the Trailblazer’s punch. It’s competent but not as engaging.

Verdict

The Trailblazer’s balanced performance and responsive handling make it a joy to drive in any situation. It’s the perfect companion for both daily commutes and weekend adventures.

Ready to experience the Trailblazer for yourself? View Chevrolet Trailblazer Inventory at Shaganappi GM in Calgary.

The Trailblazer’s Undeniable Appeal

The 2024 Chevrolet Trailblazer continues to lead the compact SUV segment. Its bold design, spirited performance, and unbeatable value make it ideal for drivers who crave style, excitement, and practicality. While the CX-30 has its merits, it simply can’t match the Trailblazer’s all-around
excellence.

The Ultimate Showdown: Pitting the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Against the Ford F-150

Competition in the full-sized pickup truck market is fierce, and two giants are at the head of the pack: the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the Ford F-150. If you’re in the market for a new vehicle and trying to choose between these two powerful trucks, we’re here to make the decision a little
easier. In this article, we’re pitting the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 against the Ford F-150.

Under the Hood

The 2024 Ford F-150 features a variety of engine options, each integrating Ford’s EcoBoost® technology. On the lower end, the 2.7-litre, V-6 turbo engine features 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. The F-150’s top engine option is the Raptor R supercharged 5.2-litre V-8 engine, which
features 700 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque. Each of these engines has a 10-speed automatic transmission with several trim options, including four-wheel drive as a standard feature.

Conversely, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 offers four engine options, each assigned to a different trim level. These are:

  • 2.7-litre four-cylinder turbo engine with 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque
  • 5.3-litre V-8 engine with 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque
  • 6.2-litre V-8 engine with 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque
  • 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo diesel engine with 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque

While the Silverado’s four-cylinder engine comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission, other options include a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Safety Features

Safety is paramount in the design of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, which comes standard with features such as pre-collision assist, post-collision braking, and lane departure warning. The same can be said for the Ford F-150. In higher trim levels, drivers can take advantage of advanced safety
features such as lane-keep assist, blind spot alert, and evasive steering. Additionally, Chevrolet has included its Super Cruise hands-free system on the High Country trim, which uses cameras and sensors to keep the vehicle centred in the lane while driving hands-free.

Cargo Space

Both the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the Ford F-150 are available in three cab sizes and bed lengths. While Chevrolet offers 5.7-foot, 6.5-foot, and 8-foot beds, Ford offers 5.5-foot, 6.5-foot, and 8.5-foot beds.

Interior Comfort & Infotainment

Each of these trucks seats five or six passengers, depending on the cab size. While lower trim levels in the F-150 come with cloth upholstery, leather-trimmed upholstery comes standard with the Lariat and higher trim levels. The Silverado offers the choice of vinyl, cloth, or perforated
leather upholstery, with vinyl being standard in its lowest trim option.

When it comes to technology, the Silverado features a 3.5-inch driver information display in lower trim levels and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment display. In higher trim levels, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display is included alongside a 13.4-inch touchscreen infotainment display. The
Ford F-150 includes a standard 12-inch digital instrument display and the Sync 4 infotainment system in all trim levels. Both trucks’ infotainment systems include integrated Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Price

The 2024 Ford F-150’s base pricing ranges from $50,300 to $108,895, depending largely on model and trim. The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is slightly more affordable, with a lower starting MSRP of $47,925 and the top-end starting at $86,699.

2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 or Ford F-150: Which is Better?

While each of these trucks has its merits and benefits, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is the clear winner with advantages such as a larger truck bed in its base model, a better range of options under the hood, and a vast list of safety features, which includes the Chevrolet Super Cruise
hands-free driving system.
