Your Chevrolet, Buick, or GMC vehicle is important to you. We understand how important it is that it serve you reliably every time you turn that key. Battery health is a huge part of that reliability, and a failing battery always seems to cause an issue at the most inconvenient time. Here's when to come to your Chevrolet dealership for a new car battery. Image obtained from Shutterstock Frequent Jump Starts If you find yourself frequently needing jump starts for your Chevrolet, Buick, or GMC vehicle, this is a clear sign that your battery is struggling. Batteries lose their charge over time, so if you're regularly requiring a boost to get going, it's likely that your battery's life is coming to an end. The moment will come when the jumps won't work anymore: don't wait until some dark night for that to happen. Low Battery Fluid Level In some car batteries, you can check the fluid level through a transparent part of the casing. If the fluid level is below the lead plates inside, it's time to have the battery and charging system tested. Low battery fluid levels are often a precursor to other battery health issues. If you're not sure or can't check your battery like this, come to see us. Note that if your battery says "maintenance free" on it, it just needs to be replaced when it starts to perform poorly. Corroded Connectors Noticeable corrosion on the battery terminals (the metal connectors on the top of the battery) is a sign of a potential battery or charging system issue. Corrosion can lead to poor conductivity and reduce the effectiveness of your battery, leading to starting problems and other electrical issues in your vehicle. Odd Smell A damaged or leaking battery can sometimes emit a rotten egg smell (sulfur odor). If you notice this smell around your Chevy, Buick, or GMC vehicle, it's crucial to have your battery checked immediately, as it could be a sign of a serious issue that needs immediate attention, whether or not the battery is to blame. Age and History of the Battery The age of your battery plays a significant role in its performance. A typical battery life is about 3–5 years, but this can vary based on driving habits and climate. If your battery is nearing the end of this range, or if you're unsure of its history (such as in a used vehicle), it's wise to have it inspected. If you're experiencing any of these signs, don't hesitate to bring your vehicle Allen Tillery Auto. Our skilled technicians are equipped to provide thorough battery inspections, repairs, and replacements, ensuring you enjoy uninterrupted performance and reliability.

Cruising around in your GM vehicle brings a sense of pride and joy. These cars are about more than getting from A to B: they're about comfort, performance, and safety. A key factor in ensuring these qualities is the condition of your tires. Tires are the unsung heroes of your vehicle, often overlooked until they start showing signs of wear. Is it time for you to head to the GMC dealership for new tires? Let's find out. Image obtained from Shutterstock Tread Depth is Running Low The tread on your tires is vital for providing the necessary grip as you drive on the road, especially if things are getting wet or slippery. An easy way to check the tread depth is with a penny. Insert the penny into your tire tread with Abraham Lincoln's head facing down. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, get some more tires. Uneven Tread Wear Notice one side of your tire wearing down faster than the other? Or perhaps random patches of wear? These can be symptoms of alignment issues, improper inflation, or problems with the suspension of your car. Uneven wear can reduce the lifespan of your tires and reduce the performance and safety of your vehicle. Regular tire rotation can help your tires wear down more evenly, avoiding this issue in the future. Tire Pressure Drops Frequently Are you topping up the air in your tires more often than usual? Consistently low tire pressure can be a sign of a slow leak, possibly from a puncture or a damaged valve stem. Besides being a hassle, low tire pressure can affect your vehicle's handling and reduce your fuel efficiency. Some leaky tires can be patched, but if the issue is bad enough they will need to be replaced. Cracks, Cuts, or Bulges on the Sidewall When was the last time you looked at the sidewall of your tires? Cracks, cuts, or bulges can be serious red flags. Damage like this weakens the structure of your tire, potentially leading to a blowout while driving. Any visible damage to your sidewalls should be taken seriously, and the tires should be replaced at once. Visit Your GMC Dealership for New Tires Your vehicle deserves the best care to keep it running at its peak. ​If you notice any of these signs, it's always best to visit your local dealership for professional help. ​We can help you ​choose the perfect set of tires for your car, and make sure they are installed ​correctly so you and your vehicle can get back ​on the road.

Older cars generally had a maintenance schedule that included an oil change every 3,000 miles or so, but newer technology and synthetic oil blends have extended the time between service appointments. Here's what you need to know about when you should contact your local Chevrolet, Buick, or GMC dealer to get your car scheduled for routine maintenance. Image obtained from Shutterstock How Often Should You Change Your Oil? There are a number of factors that influence how quickly your vehicle needs to get in for routine maintenance. Driving in very hot or very cold climates will use more oil to keep your engine running. Pulling heavy loads or driving on mountain roads tends to work your engine harder and increase how often you'll need to change your oil. With typical commuting and highway driving, most vehicles can go 7,500 to 10,000 miles between maintenance appointments. Mountain roads or extreme climates tend to lower that estimate to around 5,000 to 7,500 miles, and pulling extreme loads and going offroad may reduce it to as few as 3,000 miles between appointments. The harder you work your engine, the sooner it will need a little TLC. Monitoring Your Oil Life Span Most newer Chevrolet, Buick, or GMC vehicles come with the Oil Life System included in the computer diagnostic system. The system monitors how you drive and what conditions you're driving in to calculate how long your oil will be able to protect your engine. It will tell you approximately how many miles you have left before you need to get your car in for maintenance. Your Oil Life System will notify you when your engine oil life is getting low and will give you an urgent message if you don't get it in soon enough. Get the Best Service from your Chevrolet, Buick, or GMC Dealer Your local dealer service center will have highly trained technicians with access to factory parts that are finely tuned to fit your specific vehicle perfectly and work seamlessly with all the other systems. They will have the most up-to-date computer systems to read any potential flags in your system that might require your attention to avoid larger problems that might be hiding. Your dealer's multipoint inspection is an important part of keeping your car operating at peak performance. Checking the parts that wear out, such as tires, can help reduce waste at the gas pump and keep your money in your wallet. Fixing small problems early will also save you money in the long run. Stop by Allen Tillery Auto in Hot Springs, AR today to set up a service appointment for your Buick, GMC, or Chevrolet vehicle to keep it going strong on the road for you.

While you're driving, the radiator draws heat from the coolant as it flows through your engine, cooling everything down. Without a fully functioning radiator, your engine becomes at risk of overheating. With this in mind, the following symptoms of a radiator fault should prompt you to visit your nearest Chevrolet dealer right away for radiator repair. Image obtained from Shutterstock Your Engine's Getting Too Hot Overheating can rapidly cause devastating damage to a car's engine. If you ever see the temperature gauge on your dashboard rising, pull over as soon as you can. Your radiator may have malfunctioned and stopped the coolant from doing its job. You Spot a Coolant Leak Coolant can sometimes leak from a radiator's cap, connections, or hoses. Also, sometimes rust can eat a hole through the radiator, letting the coolant leak out. If you notice a brightly colored, sweet-smelling fluid leaking under your car, ask a technician to check your radiator for leaks. Your Coolant Looks Discolored If you check the coolant's reservoir and see that the coolant has become a discolored brown, your radiator may have developed internal rust. This can sometimes happen if the coolant gets too old and loses its anti-rust properties. A technician can often clean away interior rust by flushing and refreshing the coolant a few times. You Find Rust on the Radiator Rust can also build up on the outside of a radiator, particularly if the car sits unused for a long time. If you spot signs of rust on your radiator, try to clean it with a good anti-rust product. Extensive rust, however, may mean the radiator has to go. Your Radiator's Fins Are Damaged A car's radiator has many slender fins, through which coolant flows. If these fins become damaged and bent out of shape, the cooling system won't function properly. If radiator fins become externally clogged, it may also stop heat from escaping and hinder the cooling process. Your Cabin's Heater Stops Working When you turn your cabin's heater on during winter, the heat blowing into the cabin usually comes directly from the radiator, which uses the heat that's drawn out of the coolant. For this reason, if your cabin's heater ever stops working, your radiator might be the culprit. Your Chevrolet Dealer Finds a Radiator Fault It's a good idea to have an experienced technician regularly check and service various aspects of your vehicle. While inspecting and pressure testing the cooling system, a technician can spot minor faults and repair them before they develop into anything more serious. Have your car's radiator checked and repaired today at Allen Tillery Auto. Since 1967, we've been diligently providing top-notch cars and customer service to the drivers of Hot Springs and the surrounding area.

Most transmission problems are caused by low or degraded transmission fluid. If you experience any of the symptoms below, always check your transmission fluid first. A technician at your local Chevrolet service department can top the fluid up or diagnose and repair any more serious underlying transmission problems for you. Here are ten common signs that a car needs prompt transmission repair. Image obtained from Shutterstock Burning Smell When transmission fluid becomes too old and starts to degrade, it gradually loses its lubricating qualities. This causes friction and heat to rise inside the transmission. The increasing heat can start to burn the transmission fluid, which you may smell from inside the cabin. Puddling Fluid If your transmission fluid leaks, you may see a puddle of reddish liquid under your car when parked. Leaks can stem from the transmission pan, gasket, drain plug, seals, or fluid lines. It's important to have a leak fixed promptly before the transmission overheats. Grinding Sounds If you hear consistent grinding sounds when shifting, your transmission needs to be checked. If the fluid isn't low, grinding could be caused by problems with the gear system or torque converter. Whining Sounds Automatic transmissions may emit a whining sound when there's a problem. Whining might be caused by a clogged fluid line or filter, or any number of other mechanical or electrical issues. Noises in Neutral When transmission fluid gets too low or the wrong type of fluid is used, you may hear banging noises from the transmission when in neutral. A technician will need to top up or flush your fluid to resolve it. Slipping Gears One of the more disconcerting transmission problems is slipping gears. If your car ever changes gears on its own or pops into neutral while you're driving, you should have it repaired right away. Slipping gears may point to damaged gears, a faulty sensor, a torque converter malfunction, or something else. Delayed Shifting Various mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical gearbox problems may result in delayed or hesitant shifting. At its worst, your gears may refuse to shift at all. Dragging Clutch In manual transmission vehicles, the clutch needs to engage and disengage the flywheel smoothly. If your clutch ever fails to disengage fully, you have a dragging clutch, and you'll struggle to shift gears until it's repaired. Flush Fluid Frequently at Your Chevrolet Dealer Keeping your transmission fluid fresh will stave off most gearbox problems. You should have transmission fluid flushed every 60,000 to 100,000 miles with an automatic transmission and every 30,000 to 60,000 miles with a manual transmission. To know the optimal interval for your particular model, check your owner's manual and also ask the professionals at your local dealership. Visit Allen Tillery Auto today to have your transmission trouble promptly repaired by experienced technicians. We've been delivering top-notch vehicles and treating our customers like family with excellent deals and vehicle servicing since 1967.

Your car's brakes work effectively to allow you to control your speed and stop when you need to. Time, environmental conditions, and wear and tear can damage your brakes. As your Chevrolet dealer, we want you to enjoy your time on the road in safety. These are a few signs that you could have brake trouble and it's time to visit us for a brake repair. Soft Brake Pedal When you press down on the brake pedal, you'll feel resistance from the brake fluid. This highly pressurized fluid allows your braking system to work effectively. The brake fluid forces the calipers to close against the wheel rotors as soon as you mash the brake pedal. The calipers contain brake pads that produce friction against the rotors and bring your car to a stop. A soft brake pedal is a situation where the brake pedal supplies low resistance when you step on it. The lack of resistance can be caused by a blockage in the brake hoses, a brake fluid leak, or a mechanical issue. Regardless of the cause, a soft brake pedal makes applying the brakes slower and less effective. Our technicians will examine your braking system to find the cause of the problem and repair it. Hard Brake Pedal This situation is the opposite of the one above. In this case, your brake pedal provides far more resistance than it should. Stepping on the brakes will also slow your braking response, as you have to exert more pressure to force the brakes to engage. This particular problem is usually caused by the failure of the brake pedal booster. The booster is connected to the braking system. It uses a vacuum system to increase the pressure you exert on the brake pedal. This reduces the effort needed to engage the brakes. The booster is a robust component, but it can wear out. If the vacuum inside the booster is compromised, the booster won't work. We'll check the booster and replace it if it's failed. Grinding Noises A harsh grinding sound when you brake can be caused by several issues. One potential cause of the problem is a stone or other hard object that is trapped in one of the calipers. Each time the brake fluid forces the caliper to close, the stone will generate a grinding noise against the metal. Another possible cause of the noise is rusted brake components. The calipers are exposed to water, mud, and snow. Over time, this can cause rust and rusted parts will make grinding or squealing sounds as they work. Our technicians will investigate the issue and fix the problem. If you experience an issue with your brakes, call us immediately at Allen Tilley Auto Chevrolet Buick GMC.
