At Miles Chevrolet in Decatur, IL, we're here to help you stay on top of your battery health and give you the peace of mind that your Chevy will start every time you need it.

Regular battery care is essential for keeping it in good shape. Our Chevy-certified technicians are trained to check for signs of corrosion, ensure your battery is holding a proper charge, and apply protectant to guard against wear. Here are a few extra steps you can take to help extend your battery's life:

• Double-check lights are off before exiting your vehicle.
• Unplug chargers and adapters when not in use.
• Drive regularly to keep your battery charged.
• Plan longer trips when possible, so the battery recharges fully.
• Protect your vehicle from temperature extremes by parking in shady spots during summer and using a garage in winter.

By following these steps and visiting us for routine battery service in Decatur, you can expect your Chevy battery to last around three to five years.
