Why Your Car Battery is Important

When to Replace Your Car Battery

Even with high-quality batteries approved by Chevrolet, there is no definitive answer to how long your car battery will last. How long your battery lasts can depend on a lot of factors including climate, daily driving conditions, and individual daily driving habits. We recommend having your battery inspected anytime you stop by our service center, especially if your battery’s warranty is coming to an end or if it is more than 3 years old.

Additionally, you should schedule service if you are experiencing any of the following issues:

• Lights are running dimmer than usual
• Corrosion on battery terminals
• Bloated battery case
• Vehicle taking longer to crank
• Warning lights on dashboard
