Is it time for a new car battery? There are a few ways to tell when it's time to head to your Chevy dealer for a replacement. There are also a few things you can do to maximize your battery's lifespan. How Do You Know When You Need a New Car Battery From Your Chevy Dealer? Battery Damage A damaged battery may be swollen or have bulges on its surface. If your battery leaks regularly, then it's also damaged and should be replaced. Leaky batteries create a foul smell similar to rotten eggs that's immediately noticeable when you open the hood. You may also notice some corrosion on the metal parts of the battery. more Dead Battery When your battery dies once, it's often a sign of things to come. It's going to die more and more frequently until you're no longer able to jumpstart it back to life. You should head to the dealer to have the battery checked out any time it dies. Malfunctioning Accessories Some of your accessories will slow down when your battery is getting older and weaker. You may notice dimming and flickering with your headlights, and functions such as the heated seats or phone charging pads may stop working. How to Make Your Car Battery Last As Long As Possible You'll usually start noticing the problems above once your battery reaches 3 to 5 years old. How long your battery lasts can vary, and there are a few ways to help yours last a little longer. Take Long Trips Your battery can't charge up fully when you exclusively take shorter car rides. Try to take longer trips at least once a week so the battery can get fully juiced up. If this is impossible for you, then we recommend getting a portable battery charger so you can jumpstart your battery if it dies while you're out somewhere. Keep Your Battery Clean Regularly check for corrosion on your battery's terminals (the metal parts) and clean it off when you notice it. A solution of baking soda and water will easily scrub the corrosion away. Make sure you have your battery inspected if you regularly notice corrosion on it, as it could be a sign your battery is leaking and damaged. Don't Use Electronics Too Much Try to only use electronics while your car is moving. So, if you're going to be parked in one place for a while, then we suggest avoiding using features such as the interior lights, heated seats, and other functions that are powered by your battery. Visit Peppers Chevrolet GMC to get your battery replaced as often as necessary. If your battery seems to be underperforming, then stop by so we can check its health for you.

Most drivers can sense when something's wrong with their car's tires. You might sense a momentary loss of traction, feel excessive road vibrations, or find visible damage to a tire's exterior. If you ever suspect that your tires need to be replaced, don't hesitate to visit your closest Chevrolet dealership for new tires. Here are the most common warning signs to look out for. Time for New Tires? Visit Your Chevrolet Dealership Today Reduced Traction While driving on a wet road surface, if you sense a momentary loss of traction, pay close attention to your tires. If this disconcerting experience repeats itself, it's advisable to have a technician check your tires, which might have a problem. Every driver should feel absolute confidence in the traction of their tires at all times. more Bulging Tire Rubber While checking your tires, make sure there are no bulges or blisters in the external tire rubber. A bulge in the sidewall often indicates serious internal damage, perhaps caused by an impact with a pothole or curb. A tire damaged in this way might blow out at any time. Deep Cuts or Cracks Tire treads are expected to pick up a few tiny cuts over time. Likewise, sidewalls tend to develop hairline cracks. A few small cuts or cracks may be harmless to an otherwise sturdy tire. However, if you ever find a deep cut or extensive cracks, consider having the tire examined by a professional. It might be time for a replacement. Shallow Tread Depths Tires require some degree of tread depth in order to grip road surfaces. When the treads of your tires wear down too far, you'll eventually need to replace them. During summer, the minimum safe tread depth is generally considered to be 2/32 of an inch. During winter, tread depths should generally be deeper than this at all times. Falling Air Pressure Most tire punctures are obvious, leaving no doubt that the tire needs to be repaired or replaced. But sometimes punctures can be subtle and concealed, only releasing air very slowly. These kinds of hidden punctures can still lead to blowouts and need to be dealt with promptly. If you have a hidden puncture, the air pressure in one of your tires is likely to slowly diminish over time. Excess Vibrations or Noise When tires become damaged or uneven, you may notice an increase in vibrations and road noise. The overall quality of your car's handling might also decrease. So if you're experiencing too much vibration and road noise when you drive, check the condition of your tires. You might need to have them rotated or replaced. Have your tires inspected and replaced by qualified professionals today at Peppers Chevrolet Buick GMC. We're a locally trusted full-service dealership, providing a one-stop shop for all your vehicle-related needs.

It's not uncommon for brake problems to occur unexpectedly, and you must visit your Chevy dealer service center as soon as you observe any issues. Your local Chevy technician can assess your vehicle and determine whether brake repair or replacement is needed. Does Your Chevy Need a Brake Repair from Your Chevy Dealer? Burning Odor When Using the Brakes If you smell a burning odor every time you apply the brakes, this could be a sign they are overheated, which can lead to more problems quickly.

There may be additional problems contributing to your brake system's issues, which can be assessed during your service center visit. Vibration and Shaking When Steering and Braking If you notice that your steering wheel begins to shake or vibrate when you apply the brakes or pulses at the same time, this can indicate uneven rotors.

Spongy Brake Pedal When your brake pedal feels soft or spongy when used or needs to be pressed all the way down, reaching the floor, to work correctly, this can be a sign of moisture build-up in your car's brake system.
