Daily use, auto accidents, and other unforeseen circumstances can cause car parts to wear out, become damaged, or malfunction.

When you have OEM components installed in your car, they will integrate seamlessly with the other systems, ensuring 100% functionality and compatibility.

Driver assistance features are abundant on today's cars, including on all the new cars that you'll find at your Chevy dealership. These car safety features get better and more intuitive with each year that passes and will benefit every driver even on the shortest of trips. more 1. Forward Collision Alert Things can happen in a heartbeat when you're driving. Sometimes you just won't notice a hazard in your path and need a little alert from your car to tell you about it. If the car ahead of you stops suddenly and it seems like you're going to hit it, then your Chevy will make you aware of it. You'll also receive an alert if there's a pedestrian or bicyclist in your path with some Chevy models. Your Chevy can also apply the brakes to prevent collisions if you don't have time to respond to the alert. When it comes to potential collisions, you've basically got a second set of eyes on the road at all times. 2. Lane Keep Assist Sometimes you may end up drifting a little too close to the next lane. Your Chevy is always on the lookout for that happening, and the car can let you know when you seem to be drifting unintentionally out of your lane. The car corrects your steering to get you back into the center of the correct lane if necessary. 3. Following Distance Indicator Knowing more about how closely you're following the car ahead of you is always a good thing. The following distance indicator built into many Chevy vehicles estimates how many seconds it would take you to crash into the car ahead if that car were to stop. This can help you adjust how closely you're following the vehicle in front of you if you need to. 4. Surround Vision and Rear Vision Cameras The surround-vision camera view lets you see what's going on around the car in all directions. This helps with parking and avoiding hazards while driving in tight areas. Meanwhile, the rear vision camera gives you a direct feed of what's going on right behind you. This is most helpful when you're reversing into a parking space. 5. Rear Cross Traffic Alert Sometimes somebody may drive out behind you while you're reversing, and you won't always notice right away because this can happen fast. Your car can send you an alert when somebody's driving up behind you from the left or right while you're backing up. Are you looking for a car with the features we talked about above? Come to Sax Motor Co. to take a look at your options.

​​​​​​​​Engine problems can develop over time due to a lack of maintenance and servicing. If a problem starts, it will get worse until it's repaired. Fortunately, your Chevy dealer is here to help. Our expert technicians can repair any possible problem for you. These are some of the issues that we can fix. more Damaged Oil Pump Oil is vital for your engine. The oil pump pumps it through the engine and lubricates all the moving parts. Lubrication is essential for your engine, as many of its components depend on friction to work effectively. If these components are continually lubricated, they can suffer friction damage or size up. If the oil pump fails, your engine temperature will rise, as the oil movement helps to reduce the engine temperature. You'll hear strange noises like grinding or squeaking, and your engine will feel rough and less responsive. The oilcan-shaped light on your dash will light up in response to this problem. We'll examine the oil pump and repair or replace it to fix this problem. Poor Compression Compression is part of the combustion process. This process uses fuel and air, which must be mixed in a precise ratio. This mixing takes place in the intake manifold, and the fuel-air mixture is then drawn into the cylinders. Once inside the cylinders, the piston in each cylinder rises at high speed and compresses the mixture. Once the mixture is sufficiently compressed, it is ignited by the spark plug connected to the cylinder. Compression requires an airtight environment to generate the required pressure. Over time, the stresses and pressure of combustion can lead to damaged valve seals, holes in the cylinders, and damaged piston heads. Each of these problems allows air into the cylinders, which reduces compression. Starting Problems Your Chevy engine should start within seconds of pushing the start button. If your engine is cranking slowly, clicking, or experiencing any other starting issue, you have a problem. Most starting issues are caused by a problem with the starter, the alternator, or the battery. The battery provides the initial electrical charge to the starter, which then cranks your engine. The alternator is responsible for ensuring that your battery is always fully charged. The battery could fail due to age, loose connectors that prevent it from recharging, or a worn alternator that isn't sufficiently recharging the battery. An alternator could fail due to a damaged battery, worn components, or a blown fuse. The starter could also fail due to age, but it's more likely that its solenoid could fail and need replacement. Our technicians will investigate and fix the problem for you. If you have any problem with your Chevy, call our service department right away at Sax Motor Co.
