Your Chevy battery will need a replacement battery every three to five years. Battery health can be affected by external conditions and issues with other car systems, and your battery could fail when you least expect it to. As your Chevy dealer, we'd like to give you some tips on how to get the longest use out of your battery. more From Your Chevy Dealer: 3 Tips To Protect Your Chevy Battery Reduce Small Trips Frequent short trips of only a few miles can damage your battery's long-term health. To understand this, we need to look at how a battery recharges. Starting your engine requires a large portion of a battery's electricity reserves, and this electricity must be replaced. Once your engine is running, a mini generator in your engine called the alternator begins the recharging process. The alternator recharges the battery at full power for ten minutes and then charges​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ at 10% of battery capacity until the battery's electricity reserves are replenished. Driving short distances doesn't allow the alternator sufficient time to recharge the battery, and your battery will gradually weaken and fail. You can prevent this failure by driving for at least two uninterrupted hours per week. Check Your Battery Connections The battery is connected to the electrical system by two cables, one attached to the positive terminal and the other to the negative terminal. These connectors are tightly screwed onto the terminals to ensure the battery and supply and receive electricity. As time passes, these cables can slightly loosen and sever the connection between the battery and the rest of the electrical system. Corrosion can also develop on the terminals or battery connectors over time and block the flow of electricity to and from the battery. If you suspect a problem with your connectors, our expert technicians will examine it for you. We can easily re-tighten the connectors and determine the source of corrosion. If the corrosion is due to the battery, the battery is wearing out and will need replacement. Beware Extreme Weather A battery works most efficiently at moderate temperatures. A regular battery contains copper plates, sulfuric acid, an electrolyte solution, and other substances. The electrolyte solution enables the chemical relations that store and supply electricity to take place. Very hot or cold conditions over an extended period can affect the condition of the electrolyte. Extremely hot conditions will cause the electrolyte solution to boil, and the battery will suffer serious damage as the solution drops. In contrast, extremely cold conditions cause the electrolyte to freeze and expand, and this can damage the battery casing. This damage is more likely if your battery is three or more years old. We can test your battery and advise if it needs to be replaced. If you'd like more tips on protecting your battery, contact us today at Bommarito Chevrolet South County in St. Louis, MO.

Most of us don't notice our suspension system until something goes wrong and the ride doesn't feel smooth and clean like it's supposed to. If that's happening to you, or if you want to prevent problems like that from happening at all, it's time for suspension service at your Chevy dealer. more How It Works The suspension system in your Chevy consists of shocks or struts, springs, control arms, bushings, and sway bars. These components work together to absorb and dampen road shocks, maintain tire contact with the road, and provide stability and control while driving. Over time, these components can wear out or become damaged, leading to a decline in ride quality and handling performance. Regular suspension service helps to identify and address these issues before they become major problems. Signs Your Suspension Needs Service If you notice that your ride has become increasingly rough or bumpy, it could be a sign that your shocks or struts are worn out. If your vehicle pulls to one side or drifts while driving, it could indicate an alignment issue or worn suspension components. Uneven tire wear can also be a sign of suspension problems, such as worn-out shocks or struts, which can affect tire contact with the road. If your vehicle bounces excessively after hitting a bump, it's likely that your shocks or struts need to be replaced, and clunking or squeaking noises while driving over bumps or turning can indicate worn or damaged suspension components. What Suspension Service at Your Chevy Dealer Is All About Safety A properly functioning suspension system allows you to maintain control and stability while driving, especially during sudden maneuvers or on rough roads. Comfort A well-maintained suspension system ensures a smooth and comfortable ride by absorbing road shocks and vibrations. Tire Longevity Proper suspension maintenance helps to ensure even tire wear, which extends the life of your tires and improves your fuel efficiency. Comprehensive Protection When you bring your Chevy in for suspension service, the technician will perform a thorough inspection of the suspension system components. First, they will visually inspect the shocks or struts, springs, control arms, bushings, and sway bars for signs of wear or damage. Measuring the vehicle's ride height helps to identify any sagging springs or uneven suspension. The bounce test involves pushing down on each corner of the vehicle to check for excessive bouncing, which can indicate worn shocks or struts, and then, they'll typically check the wheel alignment to be sure the suspension components are correctly adjusted, A well-maintained suspension system enhances your driving experience and contributes to the overall longevity and reliability of your vehicle. If it's been a while since yours was serviced, or if you're noticing some of the issues above, come see us at Bommarito Chevrolet South County in St. Louis, MO for help.
