Without a fully functioning radiator, your car can't regulate its temperature so a malfunctioning radiator can lead to serious problems for your car very quickly. Because of this, it's crucial to head straight to the Chevy dealer when you need a radiator repair. If your car is overheating, then you may need to get towed to the dealer to avoid causing damage to your engine. Signs You Need a Radiator Repair ASAP The Temperature Gauge Is Rising Always check your temperature gauge a few times per journey to make sure the temperature of your car isn't steadily rising. If it's steadily rising, then one of the components of your car is overheating. If your car is running increasingly hotter, or if it starts edging toward being critically hot, then you most likely have a problem with your radiator. The Coolant Level Is Low If your coolant level is unexpectedly low, then you may have a coolant leak. Signs of a coolant leak include a pool of coolant by your vehicle and discoloration on the parts under the hood. Coolant that's pooling by your vehicle will be bright in color and have an unmistakable sweet smell. Spots of discoloration under your hood will be very small, because the discoloration is caused by coolant squirting out onto the hot parts of the engine and rapidly sizzling away. The coolant takes the paint away with it when it evaporates, leaving behind discoloration and, over time, rust. more The Engine Overheats If you don't notice your temperature gauge rising, then your engine may overheat and start to produce white smoke. This will pour out from underneath your hood while you're driving. When that happens, you need to pull over straight away to avoid your engine getting damaged by running while it's too hot. Reasons to Visit the Chevy Dealer for Your Repair We Have Advanced Diagnostic Equipment We have all the necessary equipment to diagnose problems quickly and accurately with your car. If your radiator is malfunctioning, then it won't take us very long to find out so we can get started on repairing the problem. We Have Specialized Training Technicians at dealerships are specially trained to work on specific car models. As we're a Chevrolet dealership, our technicians have specialized training that makes sure they understand Chevrolet vehicles better than any general mechanic ever could. We Use OEM Parts If we need to replace any of the parts of your car, then we'll use parts from the original equipment manufacturer. This means any component that's replaced in your vehicle is specifically made for your car and is guaranteed to work with the other components still in your vehicle, ensuring your car won't have any performance issues.

To keep your Chevy safe, its tires need to be in good condition. Here are some clear signs you need new tires from your Chevy dealer. 1. The Tread Depth is Below 2/32 of an Inch The most obvious sign that your Chevy needs a new set of tires is when the tread depth falls below 2/32 of an inch. Use a tread depth gauge to measure it. If the gauge reads 2/32 of an inch or less, replace your tires immediately. If you do not have a tread depth gauge, you can measure your tread with a penny instead. Place the penny in the tire tread groove with Abraham Lincoln upside-down. If you can see the top of his head over the tread, your tire tread is dangerously low. 2. The Tread Wear Indicator Bars are Visible Modern tires come with tread wear indicator bars. These are small raised bars at the bottom of the tread grooves. As tires wear down, the indicator bars rise to the surface. If these bars are flush with the tire's tread, it's time to replace the tire. more 3. Cracks or Cuts in the Sidewall Inspect your tires' sidewalls for cracks, cuts, or grooves. These types of damage may indicate structural problems with your tire and can lead to slow leaks or a blowout. 4. Bulges or Blisters on the Tire Surface Bulges or blisters on the surface of your tire are signs of weakened areas in the tire's structure. These weak spots can cause sudden tire failure, so if you see them you should replace your tire immediately. 5. Too Much Vibration While some vibration is normal, especially if you are driving on rough roads, excessive vibration may point to an issue with your tires. It could be due to misalignment, imbalance, or internal damage to the tire. 6. Tires Are Over 6 Years Old Even if the treads are not worn down, aging can affect a tire's performance. Rubber deteriorates over time. It is recommended to replace your tires every six years, no matter how good they look. 7. Irregular Tread Wear Irregular or uneven tread wear can be a sign of misalignment, improper inflation, or problems with your suspension. If tread wear is uneven across a tire's surface, it's advisable to get both the tires and your vehicle's alignment checked. 8. Frequent Low Tire Pressure If you find yourself needing to add air to your tires over and over, you likely have a slow leak. Some types of tire leaks can be repaired, but otherwise, the tire will need to be replaced. Visit the Chevy Dealer for Tire Inspections If your tires show any of these signs, it is essential to have them inspected as soon as possible. A professional tire inspection allows our technicians to check the condition of your tires, potentially catching any issues before they become serious safety hazards. A fresh set of tires allows your vehicle to perform better and improves fuel efficiency. Most importantly, it keeps you safe on the road. Visit Earnhardt Chevrolet and let us take a look at your tires today.

Your engine may run on gas, but it needs electricity to get it going. The battery is a vital component as it stores the power generated by the alternator, and its lifespan is usually about three to five years. Read on to find out how to know when it's time to contact your Chevy dealership about a new car battery. Caring for Your Battery Although the battery provides the initial charge for the starter motor to get your car going, the alternator will recharge it while the engine is running. Making a lot of quick, short trips will use power more quickly than it can be replaced, so it's a good idea to make regular journeys of a half-hour or more to top the battery up. The electrical systems will drain the battery when the car isn't running and may put it under more pressure as it tries to crank the car. You can also help it by making sure that the music, fans, and lights are switched off when you start your car or park up. more Checking Your Car Battery It pays to give your car battery a visual check occasionally. This is just a glance when you pop the hood to make sure that the connection points are free of corrosion or build-up, and to see that the casing is free of warping or cracks. Be careful not to touch the battery, especially if you see leaking chemicals, as these can be highly corrosive. A sulfurous smell, like rotten eggs, can also be a sign of trouble. If you notice any of these issues, schedule a replacement straight away. Staying Alert to Battery Trouble One of the most troublesome signs of a faulty battery occurs when your car won't start. If the battery is flat, you'll hear a clicking noise when you push the ignition, and you'll need a jump-start to get it going. Before this happens, you might notice that the engine is slow to crank and takes longer to start, but this will only happen once or twice before the battery gives up completely, so you'll need to act quickly. You might also notice that the electrical systems in your car are sluggish and less responsive. If the fans, seats, windows, or lights appear to be losing power, it's time for a diagnostic check. And of course, the most obvious signal that your battery is struggling comes when the battery or engine warning light appears on the dashboard. Battery replacement is an essential part of car maintenance, so don't hesitate if you notice a problem. Schedule a service appointment with Earnhardt Chevrolet and our factory-trained technicians will make you and your vehicle's health their top priority.
