Chevrolet's legendary line of sports cars breaks new ground with the 2024 Chevy Corvette Stingray. Its blistering speed delivers massive surges of adrenaline on both tracks and Fort Smith roads. more Explosive Speed The Stingray has few rivals on the track, with its 6.2L V8 generating an earsplitting 490 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque.

Taking advantage of launch control, this fully equipped sports car reaches 60 mph from a standstill in just 2.9 seconds, crosses the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds, and achieves a top speed of 194 mph. Excellent Handling What sets the Stingray apart from typical dragsters is its insane handling prowess. Primarily attributed to its mid-engine layout and perfect weight 50:50 weight distribution, the new generation of Corvette corners with a fierce grip. Control in high-speed situations is further enhanced by the electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD) and the available Magnetic Ride Control with performance-oriented suspension. The suspension system adapts to new road conditions in 10-15 milliseconds and uses a metal-particle fluid that stiffens when cornering.

The widened grille and two flanking vents, the specialized air intakes at the back, and the signature side air intakes cool the mid-mounted V8. The sports car rides on 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels for an aggressive rake stance that cuts through drag.

If your AC isn't working correctly, your Chevy dealer is here to help. Our Chevy-trained technicians can speedily fix any issue, and cold air will billow from your AC again in no time. These are some signs you need us for AC maintenance. more No Airflow If no air blows through the vents and the AC is running, you could have a blocked air intake or a blockage in the vents. The air intake is located just below your windshield, and the air is drawn in through it, then chilled and blown into the cabin. This vent can become blocked by dirt, leaves, or other debris, preventing air from reaching the AC. The air that enters the AC can contain dirt, leaves, and other substances. This debris can block the ducts, preventing air from blowing into the cabin. If this has happened, you'll usually hear rattling or rusting when the AC is running as the debris moves around. We'll quickly remove any debris from the intake vent and clear any duct blockage, and airflow into your cabin will return to normal. The Compressor Isn't Working The compressor is the most important part of your AC system, as it controls the movement of air and refrigerant through the AC. It can fail due to age or be damaged by stones or other hard objects thrown up from the ground. Without a working compressor, your AC system can't operate. Fortunately, a damaged compressor clutch is one of the most common reasons for a failed AC. The clutch switches the compressor on and off as air and refrigerant move through the system. A worn compressor clutch can jam closed, and your AC system won't work. If clutch failure is the cause of the problem, our technicians can install a new clutch, and the compressor will work again. Leaking Refrigerant Refrigerant is the gas that chills the air before it's blown into your cabin. It's odorless and colorless and evaporates in contact with the outside air. The refrigerant is pushed through the AC system under pressure that reaches 200 PSI. Time and pressure can weaken the seals or other vulnerable parts of the AC system, and refrigerant can escape. If your AC air doesn't get as cold as it previously did, you could have a refrigerant leak. We check for leaks in the AC by adding a UV dye to the system and then monitoring the refrigerant's passage through the AC using a UV viewer. We'll fix the leak as soon as we locate the source, then refill your refrigerant. Contact our service department today at Orr Chevrolet of Fort Smith in Fort Smith, AR.

Maintaining your Chevy Equinox isn't just about making sure it looks good. It also makes sure that it keeps running as efficiently as it should, for as long as it can. One of the key maintenance steps you can take is to arrange a regular oil change with your Chevy dealer. This simple task can have a big impact on ensuring your vehicle is kept in its best condition. more You can think of your Chevy's engine as its heart and the oil as its blood. Engine oil lubricates the moving parts of the engine, reducing friction. This prevents overheating and damage as the parts rub against each other. Over time, however, engine oil will become contaminated with substances like dirt, debris, and even metal particles. These substances cause increased friction, which can cause overheating and eventually engine damage. Changing the engine's oil ensures that it is running using fresh, clean, and uncontaminated oil. Protecting the Engine's Longevity The wear and tear created by the engine running using contaminated oil will eventually lead to damaged internal components. This could mean costly repairs and replacements for you down the line. In the worst-case scenario, the damage could trigger the engine to seize, which could result in a full engine replacement becoming necessary. A regular schedule for oil changes will reduce the chances of your engine being damaged. How often you need to change your oil will depend on how you use your vehicle, your driving style, the road and environmental conditions, and the type of oil you use. Performance Enhancements Changing your Chevy's oil regularly doesn't just protect it from damage. It can also help to improve its performance. This is because an engine running on clean oil will be more efficient and doesn't have to work as hard to perform. You can expect reduced engine noise, improved fuel efficiency, and better responsiveness. A smoother, quieter ride is definitely a big plus, but so are the savings. Not only will you save money on fuel but also on less frequent repairs and replacements. Oil changes are a worthwhile and cost-effective investment for any vehicle owner. Trust The Experts At Your Chevy Dealer It is always better to have your oil changed by certified technicians. Using high-quality oil and filters, we will ensure that your engine is protected and is performing at its best. Our technicians will also keep a keen eye on any emerging issues with your engine so that they can be addressed sooner rather than later. A small investment in your car's health can have a big payoff in the long run. Contact us today at Orr Chevrolet of Fort Smith in Fort Smith, AR so we can keep your Chevy Equinox's engine running smoothly.

The 2024 Chevy Volt is a stunning fully electric vehicle that can eliminate your personal carbon emissions and save you lots of money on fuel. If you want to keep your Volt in tip-top performance shape, you will need to schedule routine Chevy Volt maintenance for your battery at your Chevy dealer. more While it may seem a bit counterintuitive, your EV battery will last much longer if you avoid over-charging it. Chevy recommends only recharging your battery to about 80% since this helps the drive battery last longer and even supports your vehicle's regenerative braking system. Chevy makes it simple to avoid overcharging your battery by allowing you to set a maximum charge level with the vehicle's computer or with your myChevy app. As for the type of charger you should use, it's typically best to use a Level 1 or a Level 2 charger to protect your battery. While DC fast charging is fine if you're at a roadside charging station, the use of a Level 3 charger should be sparse. It's typically best to charge your EV overnight to prepare for all of your daily driving needs. Watch the Weather Just like a combustion engine, your EV's electric drive battery is also vulnerable to extreme weather. Very hot or very cold weather can reduce your EV's driving range by a significant amount. It's best to store your EV in a garage to reduce extreme weather exposure. Ask Your Chevy Dealer: How Often Do You Need Chevy Volt Maintenance? In general, your Volt will require less maintenance overall simply because an electric car has fewer components than a gas model. However, you will still need to schedule routine service for essential parts at least twice a year or every 7,500 miles. The most common maintenance tasks for your EV include changing air filters, inflating the tires, rotating the tires, and replacing windshield wipers. After owning your EV for a few years, you will likely need to schedule a service appointment to check the level of brake fluid in your vehicle and change your brake pads. Factors like how frequently you drive your car and how heavily you rely on your brakes can determine how often brake pads need to be replaced. A Chevy mechanic should also check your regenerative brake system and the health of your battery at least once a year. Whether it's your vehicle's drive battery or your brake system, you will need to keep up with routine maintenance appointments at your local dealership to ensure your Volt is always ready for the road. Book your battery service appointment at Orr Chevrolet of Fort Smith in Fort Smith, AR.
