Service
Your Chevrolet dealer knows your vehicle best and
wants you to be happy with it. We hope you'll go to
your dealer for all your service needs. You'll get
genuine GM parts and GM-trained and supported
service people.
We hope you'll want to keep your GM vehicle all GM.
Genuine GM parts have one of these marks:

Doing Your Own Service Work
If you want to do some of your own service work, you'll
want to get the proper Chevrolet Service Manual. It tells
you much more about how to service your Chevrolet
than this manual can. To order the proper service
manual, see "Service and Owner Publications" in
the Index.
Your vehicle has an air bag system. Before attempting to
do your own service work, see "Servicing Your Air
Bag-Equipped Chevrolet" in the Index.
You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date of any service work you
perform. See "Maintenance Record" in the Index.
You can be injured and your vehicle could be
damaged if you try to do service work on a
vehicle without knowing enough about it.
Be sure you have sufficient knowledge,
experience, the proper replacement parts
and tools before you attempt any vehicle
maintenance task.
Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts and
other fasteners. 44English" and "metric"
fasteners can be easily confused. If you use
the wrong fasteners, parts can later break
or fall off. You could be hurt.
