Summer in Texas means wide-open highways, lakeside escapes, and spontaneous detours. But before you hit the road, make sure your vehicle is as ready for adventure as you are. At Spur Chevrolet GMC in Gatesville, TX, we know that proper car care can make or break your summer road trip. So we’ve put together a practical, expert-backed checklist to help you prep your ride for the miles ahead.
1. Refresh Your Motor Oil
Your engine works overtime in the summer heat. Fresh motor oil helps it stay cool, clean, and lubricated. If it’s been more than 5,000 miles—or three months—since your last oil change, it’s time to schedule one. Our certified technicians at Spur Chevrolet GMC use GM-approved oil and filters to keep your engine running smoothly.
2. Inspect All Fluids
Your vehicle relies on six essential fluids: engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Low or dirty fluids can lead to overheating, poor braking, or even engine damage. We’ll check and top off each one—or flush and replace them if needed—to ensure peak performance.
3. Check Tire Pressure and Condition
Texas roads can be unpredictable, and your tires need to be ready. Use your owner’s manual or the driver-side door sticker to find the correct PSI. We recommend checking tire pressure when the tires are cool. Also, inspect tread depth and look for cracks or bulges. If needed, we’ll rotate and align your tires for even wear and better fuel efficiency.

At Spur Chevrolet GMC, we specialize in providing high-quality used vehicles that are not only affordable but also reliable. If you’re considering purchasing a pre-owned car, here are the top reasons why buying a used car from our dealership is the smart choice.
1. Lower Prices and Better Value
One of the most obvious reasons to buy a used car is the lower price. When you choose a used car in Gatesville, you’ll typically save thousands of dollars compared to buying a new one. At Spur Chevrolet GMC, we offer a wide range of pre-owned vehicles, including Chevy and GMC models, so you can find something that fits your budget without sacrificing quality. Used cars often provide better value for your money as they’ve already experienced their initial depreciation, meaning you won’t lose as much value when you drive off the lot.
2. Wide Selection of Vehicles
Whether you’re looking for a Chevy Silverado, a GMC Sierra, or something else entirely, our used car inventory in Gatesville offers a variety of options to fit your needs. With a broad selection of makes, models, and price ranges, you’re sure to find the perfect vehicle that suits your lifestyle and budget.

At Spur Chevrolet GMC, we take pride in the quality of our used vehicles. Our pre-owned cars undergo thorough inspections by our experienced technicians to ensure they meet high standards. We also provide a detailed history report for every vehicle, so you can be confident in your purchase. With proper care and maintenance, many used cars can provide years of reliable service.
4. Lower Insurance Costs
Another advantage of purchasing a used car in Gatesville, TX is lower insurance premiums. Since used cars generally cost less to replace, your insurance rates will typically be lower than those for new vehicles. This can lead to significant savings over time, making a used car an even more affordable option.
5. Less Depreciation
New cars lose value the moment they are driven off the lot. However, used cars have already experienced their most significant depreciation. This means that the value of your used vehicle will not drop as quickly, allowing you to retain more of your investment in the long run.
