2013 Chevrolet Spark Reliability Auburn Cars

Here at Art Gamblin Motors, your Auburn Car Dealer, we are excited to offer the all new 2013 Chevrolet Spark. The Spark offers extreme value, quality, reliability and durability. The Spark is based on an all-new front-wheel drive architecture that incorporates a series of structural enhancements, acoustical refinements, purposeful technologies and attention to detail to deliver consistent quality and appeal.

Ride Quality

The Spark has been designed with applications to reduce vibration and contribute to impressive wind noise performance. The Spar’s stiff structure combined with acoustical applications makes it easier to negate powertrain, road and wind noise to create a smooth and comfortable ride experience. The following details some of the design elements that contribute to the Sparks smooth, quiet and enjoyable drive experience.

• Body Frame Integral (BFI) structure enables a more mass efficient and stiffer structure.

• Incorporation of thicker window glass.

• Front of dash mats reduce noise transfer.

• Multiple air/noise barrier applications in the floor, instrument panel and inner body panels.

• Overall torsional stiffness is among the best in the Mini Car segment.

• A 4-point mounted engine cradle–a segment rarity–contributes to outstanding body stiffness.

• Robustly designed chassis-to-body structure interfaces, i.e. suspension brackets or cradle attachments, designed to ensure stiffness at those points. The result is excellent isolation and durability.

• Single-piece body side stampings provide a stiffer, more rigid side structure.

• An acoustic headliner includes a 3-layer polyethylene/felt substrate for superior sound isolation.

• Extensive sealing including dual door seals.

• Tuned air intake and tuned exhaust.

• Additional spot welding enhances long-term rigidity and durability.

• Gap and flush relationships are among the best-in-class.

• Engine features deep-skirt cylinder bloc

Built-in Durability

Spark’s built-in durability includes these features:

• 1.2L engine features a timing chain that never requires any scheduled maintenance.

• Long-life spark plugs contribute to a 100,000-mile tune-up interval.

• Transmissions are filled for life and do not require fluid changes for normal driving conditions.

• Coil-on-plug ignition system eliminates spark plug wires for greater reliability and lower maintenance costs.

• An Oil Life Monitor alerts the driver to the need for an oil change before oil becomes degraded.

• Electronic Power Steering system does not require any fluid checks or top-offs.

• OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics provide automatic email updates with the results of hundreds of checks on engine, transmission, antilock brakes and more.

Warranty Coverage

Chevrolet continues to provide excellent warranty coverage and peace of mind the competition can’t match. Chevrolet’s premium warranty protection includes:

• 3-year/36,000-mile comprehensive warranty coverage.

• 5-year/100,000-mile transferable limited powertrain warranty.
