Your brakes are designed to activate almost instantly once you hit the brake pedal, and they should bring your vehicle to an almost instant stop. In time, brake components will get damaged or worn, and you'll need a brake repair. We'd like you to know a few signs you need to visit us for Chevy brake maintenance. more Brake Fluid Leak Brake fluid is stored in the brake fluid reservoir and provides the hydraulic power that forces the braking system to work. Pressurized brake fluid is forced through the hoses to the calipers when you hit the brakes. The fluid pushes the pins out of the calipers, and they close against the rotors. Brake pads inside the calipers generate friction, which brings the wheels to a halt. As time passes, the brake hoses can become damaged, or worn seals can fail, and the fluid will leak. As fluid is lost, the pedal's resistance drops when you push on it. Low brake fluid is dangerous, as a lack of fluid can prevent the brakes from working, causing an accident. We'll find and repair the leak, refill the fluid, and the brakes will work correctly again. Pulling to One Side As we saw above, the calipers close on the rotors when you apply the brakes. All four calipers engage simultaneously to bring your Chevy to a smooth stop. If your vehicle pulls to one side when you brake, and one of the wheels continues to move until brought to a stop by the others, you have a brake problem. Pulling to one side is caused by either a blockage on the brake hose leading to a particular caliper or the affected caliper could be damaged. The caliper's positions mean they can become damaged by stones or other hard objects thrown up from the surface. They can also develop rust, which eventually prevents them from moving. A blockage in the hose prevents the fluid from reaching the caliper and forcing it to close. We find and fix the problem. Overheating Brakes Braking generates heat, and the more often you brake, the hotter the fluid becomes as it doesn't get the chance to cool down. This is a particular problem if your brake fluid isn't regularly changed, as older brake fluid absorbs water. As the brake fluid gets hotter, the water heats and can eventually boil. The boiling water creates air bubbles that block the brake hoses, preventing the brakes from engaging. If your brakes overheat, you'll smell a strong chemical odor. We advise you to pull over ASAP and allow the brakes to cool. We'll drain and replace the fluid to fix this issue. If you have a brake problem, contact our service department at Blue Ribbon Chevrolet in Sallisaw, OK.

Combining Chevy's small-block V8 and a high-performance electric motor brought to life the 2025 Chevy Corvette E-Ray, the quickest Corvette ever. The hybrid supercar features a balanced chassis, explosive acceleration, a silent all-electric mode, and a host of revolutionary technologies. more Powerful Hybrid System Carrying on the Corvette's small-block tradition, the E-Ray's primary source of power is its beastly 6.2L LT2 V8, which produces 490 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque in its base configuration. It drives the supercar's rear wheels and is engineered for track performance, featuring eight equal-length intake runners and a dry-sump oil scavenge system. With the available Performance Exhaust, included in the Z51 Performance Package, the engine's output reaches an ear-splitting 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. The V8 works alongside a single electric motor that churns out 160 hp and 125 lb-ft of torque to create an electrified all-wheel drive (e-AWD) system. The system's net output reaches a staggering 655 hp and 595 lb-ft of torque, allowing the hybrid supercar to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and finish the quarter-mile run in 10.5 seconds.

Come see us at Blue Ribbon Chevrolet in Sallisaw, OK to test drive the Chevy Corvette E-Ray and learn more about its capabilities.

When figuring out the best maintenance plan for your car, always check the owner's manual for guidance. It's also a good idea to consult with one of our technicians, who can take your regular driving habits into account. As an outline for proper Chevy maintenance, here are some key guidelines. You can arrange an optimal car servicing schedule, including timely reminders, at your local Chevy dealer. more Every Six Months: Oil, Tires, and Brakes Twice a year, have your motor oil changed to keep your engine healthy. At the same time, you can have your tires rotated, which prevents uneven tire wear from creating a skid hazard. A biannual interval is also ideal for brake inspections; here, our technicians will remove the wheels, calipers, rotors, and brake pads to inspect each component for signs of wear and tear. The brake lines and fluid will also be examined. Refresh All Vehicle Fluids as Required Each fluid in your car serves a crucial function and should never be allowed to diminish or degrade. The coolant prevents the engine from overheating; the transmission fluid lubricates the gears and clutch; the differential fluid plays a similar lubricating role; and the windshield wiper fluid helps ensure clear visibility in sudden bad weather. Each fluid must be inspected regularly and periodically flushed. Check your owner's manual for the optimal schedule for each fluid. Keep Your Tires Properly Inflated, Even, and Aligned Your tires are vital for road safety. Using your owner's manual, find out the recommended PSI for each tire, then check your tire pressure once or twice a month, adjusting the air when necessary. It's also important to have your tires rotated two or more times per year. At the same time, have their alignment tested; if any of your tires are out of alignment, we can correct them with specialist machinery. Change Your Air Filters Once a Year Your air filters keep airborne contaminants from entering the engine and cabin. However, these filters fill up with dust and grime until they begin to clog the airways. Unless you drive in particularly dusty conditions, you'll probably need to replace your air filters yearly. Book These Services and More at Your Chevy Dealer There are further important maintenance tasks to have carried out. To make sure you cover everything, schedule routine services with us. Our seasoned mechanics can keep your car in fantastic shape and fully safe on the road. Vehicle maintenance becomes so much easier with the help of the pros.

Modern tires are made from high-quality rubber and other materials, but even they will wear down or become damaged over time. As your Chevy dealer, we'd like you to know a few signs you need to visit us for tire maintenance. more Sidewall Damage The sidewalls are the tire sections perpendicular to the surface. They're made from softer, more flexible rubber than the tread. This flexibility helps absorb shocks from driving over uneven surfaces and keeps your vehicle on the road. Unfortunately, the softer rubber is more easily damaged by sharp or hard objects, which makes leaks more likely. If part of the sidewall is pinched against a hard object, like the curb, it can form a bubble. The air inside a tire heats as you drive, and since the area around a bubble is stretched thinner than it should be, the bubble can easily burst, and your tire will blow out. We can't repair a bubble, as that section of the tire has broken down, but we can replace it to prevent a serious accident. Cracked Tires Rubber is the perfect material for tires, combining strength and flexibility. As time passes, even the highest quality rubber loses flexibility due to heat, cold, mud, water, and sunlight exposure. As a tire loses flexibility, cracks develop and will expand and deepen as the tires heat up when driving and cool when your Chevy is stationary. If the cracks reach deep enough into the rubber, this can cause a leak. Our technicians will examine your tires, and we can repair minor leaks, but the more extensive the cracks, the greater the chance the tire can't be repaired. If you have a severely cracked tire, we'll install a replacement and balance it for you. Bald Tire The tread is the raised section of the tire in contact with the surface. It appears as raised sections separated by grooves that help push mud, water, or snow away so it doesn't build up under the tire. This section usually suffers more wear and tear than other tire sections as it's directly in contact with the surface, and this causes friction damage as you drive. As the tread thickness drops, you'll notice vehicle handling becomes difficult, your braking distance increases, and fuel economy will fall. The minimum safe tread depth is 2/32", but a bald tire has almost no tread. This makes it very dangerous, as the lack of tread can easily cause a skid. We can replace a bald tire in minutes, and you'll be able to drive safely again. If you have a tire problem, contact our service department right away at Blue Ribbon Chevrolet in Sallisaw, OK.
