​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​On a hot summer's day, we all depend on our car's AC to give us the necessary cooling air. Your AC system, unfortunately, can develop problems over time. This could result in your car AC not working. As your Chevy dealer in Anderson, IN, we'd like you to know some signs you need to visit us for an AC repair. more Leaking Refrigerant Refrigerant is a colorless, odorless gas that is essential for your AC. Refrigerant changes between gaseous and liquid states as it chills the air for your AC. These changes require the AC system to operate under high pressure, and over time, this pressure and external damage can result in a leak. The first indication of a leak is that your AC will start to produce steadily warmer air as the air in the AC is no longer being chilled. Our technicians will solve this problem by running a UV dye through the system. They use a special UV monitor to trace the refrigerant and locate the hole. Once we've located the leak, we'll seal it permanently and refill the refrigerant. Damaged Compressor Clutch The compressor is the center of your AC system. The compressor compresses and circulates the refrigerant through your AC. During this process, the compressor will switch on and off. The compressor's operation is controlled by the compressor clutch, which starts and stops the compressor at the appropriate times. In time, the compressor clutch can become jammed. If the clutch jams off, the compressor won't operate, and your AC won't work. If the clutch is jammed on, the compressor will continue to run, gradually overheat, and then burn out. If you don't hear a slight click when you turn on your AC, call us right away, so we can check your AC and fix the clutch. Air Isn't Cold If you switch your AC to the max, your cabin should rapidly get very cold. If the air feels cool but not cold, you most likely have an AC problem. The three main causes of this are a refrigerant leak, a worn compressor, or a damaged condenser. We've already seen the effects of a refrigerant leak above, so let's look at the other two issues. If the compressor isn't working, your AC won't run correctly. As the compressor struggles, likely, it won't chill the air sufficiently. The condenser takes liquid refrigerant, removes the heat, and turns it back into a gas. If your condenser is failing, your AC won't supply cold air. We'll need to examine your AC to diagnose the problem, then repair it. Don't let AC problems spoil your summer driving. Call our service department today at Ed Martin Chevy.

Getting an extended warranty at the Chevy dealer comes with numerous benefits. Firstly, it provides extended coverage beyond the manufacturer's warranty, protecting you from unexpected repair costs. Additionally, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that certified technicians will handle any repairs or replacements. more Backed by General Motors and endorsed by Chevrolet, this warranty offers comprehensive coverage with three options: Powertrain, Silver, and Platinum. You can customize contract terms and deductibles to suit your needs. The protection plan runs concurrently with applicable manufacturer warranties, providing extended coverage. You can add a vehicle service contract at the time of purchase or within 8 years or 100,000 miles, transfer it if you sell the vehicle, or cancel it at any time. To learn more about the coverage, pricing, and additional details, speak to us at the dealership. EV Protection The EV protection plan is exclusively designed for Chevy electric vehicles, and it offers coverage for new, pre-owned, or leased EVs. When setting up your plan, you can choose from different deductible options and take advantage of rental car coverage and reimbursement for breakdowns away from home. With the Platinum option, you can enjoy up to 8 years or 100,000 miles of coverage, ensuring peace of mind for the long haul. The plan also includes 24-hour roadside assistance, covering towing reimbursement and enhanced benefits like flat tire assistance. Return to our dealership whenever you need covered services, as we have the expertise to handle your EV needs. The protection plan is the best way to safeguard your electric vehicle. Tire and Wheel Protection Tire and wheel protection is insurance-like coverage that provides assistance for repairs or replacements related to tire and wheel damage. It typically covers tire punctures, sidewall damage, blowouts, and wheel damage caused by road hazards. Chevrolet's Tire and Wheel Protection Plus also includes cosmetic wheel damage repair, such as sanding, painting, or refinishing the wheel. This protection plan has a limit on the number of cosmetic wheel repairs allowed during the agreement period, typically up to eight individual wheel repairs. Additional Options Chevrolet offers several additional types of coverage that further reduce your risk. Gap coverage offers financial protection in the event of a total loss of your vehicle. It can waive the difference between what you owe on your vehicle finance agreement and the amount your insurance pays, including your deductible. Pre-paid maintenance covers scheduled oil and filter changes and tire rotations within the specified period. This service ensures your vehicle receives essential maintenance, and you benefit from the expertise of Chevrolet Certified Service technicians who have in-depth knowledge of your vehicle. Although the best time to get a protection plan is typically at the time of your vehicle purchase, you can get an extended Chevrolet warranty even if you've had your car for several years. Call us at Ed Martin Chevrolet and schedule your consultation with our warranty experts.

If you frequently transport a lot of cargo, then you're going to need one of the best vehicles on the market for the job. Next time you visit your Chevy dealership, check out the three Chevy vehicles with the most cargo capacity. more The Chevy Suburban The Chevy Suburban can fit the most cargo out of any SUV in Chevy's 2023 lineup. It has a best-in-class maximum capacity of 145 cubic feet for cargo. You can achieve this capacity with the second and third-row seats folded down. It's not the least bit surprising that the Suburban is so capable when it comes to transporting cargo, as its interior has been designed to maximize its ability to transport both passengers and gear. You can even add a third seat in the front to increase the Suburban's passenger capacity to 9. That'll be very useful if you want to travel with 3–6 passengers while also folding down the second and/or third row to maximize cargo space. The Chevy Tahoe The Chevy Tahoe has a cargo management system that's standard on all of its trims. A collapsible cargo area organizer is also available for every trim. That should be helpful when helping you transport up to 123 cubic feet of cargo with the second and third rows flat. The low and flat load floor makes it easy for you to pack all your gear in. The rear independent suspension really helps a lot with maximizing the ease of loading your stuff into the cargo area, and it also helps add stability when you're driving with a cabin packed full. The Chevy Traverse Just like the Suburban, the Chevy Traverse offers best-in-class capacity. You can fit up to 98.2 cubic feet of cargo in the mid-size SUV if you lay the second and third rows flat. Power folding ability is available for the third row, making it even easier for you to lay the seats down. The third row also has a 60/40 split to allow you a little extra room for cargo while also bringing passengers along for the ride. Even if you want to lay down the entire third row, you can still fit four or five passengers in the Traverse, depending on your seating configuration. Which Vehicle Is the Best? If transporting the most cargo possible matters most to you, then the Chevy Suburban wins hands down. However, each Chevy above is packed with an incredible amount of desirable features and has seating for at least 8, so it's really a matter of personal preference if cargo volume isn't the sole decider for you. Stop by Ed Martin Chevrolet if you need a vehicle with an incredible capacity for cargo.

Not only do authorized dealers offer quality vehicles and top-notch service, but they also allow you to customize the features of your new vehicle. From exterior enhancements to interior upgrades, here are some of the ways you can customize features on a new Chevy order. more 1. Select Your Drive Train Certain Chevy models provide the flexibility of choosing between front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) systems. This flexibility allows drivers to cater to their specific driving needs, whether it's enhanced traction and stability with AWD or efficient handling with FWD. Note that in some models, the engine choice is tied to the drive train selection, meaning certain engine options are only available with specific drive train configurations. This level of customization ensures that you build a vehicle that delivers a comfortable and responsive ride and impressive performance. 2. Add Safety and Convenience Packages There are many packages you can add to your new Chevy order to enhance your safety and convenience on the road. Here are some examples of these packages: Cargo Package This package includes features such as a cargo net and retractable cargo shade to securely store and protect your belongings during transportation.

Poorly maintained brakes can lengthen the distance your vehicle takes to stop or, in rare cases, fail completely. Unfortunately, you may not notice your braking system starting to deteriorate. Scheduling regular maintenance with your Chevy dealer ensures the safe operation of all your vehicle's components, including its brake pads. Between service appointments, be mindful of the following guidelines, and don't ignore any potential safety issues. more Number of Miles on the Vehicle Pads may last 35,000 miles on the low end or up to 80,000 miles on the high end. Driving more kilometers might mean changing your vehicle's pads more often, but not always. Driving habits and conditions also affect the lifespan of your car's braking system. If you usually drive in an urban area with stop-and-go traffic, you'll be engaging your brakes, and wearing down the pads, more often. In contrast, highway driving with light traffic typically requires you to use your brakes less often, so your vehicle's brakes may last longer. Number of Inches on the Pads You can visually inspect your car's pads and measure the friction material remaining on them. If the friction lining has less than 0.25 inches, book an appointment with your dealership. A service technician is better qualified to look for other signs of wear and tear, and they can advise you whether it's time to replace them. Lining less than 0.10 inches thick requires immediate attention. Number of Months Since a Chevy Dealer Inspected the Pads Preventative maintenance is an easy solution to avoid an unexpected mishap. Ask your service technician to inspect the pads when rotating the tires or changing the oil. Noticing unusual noises or problems with your vehicle's operation between scheduled service appointments is also a reason to contact your dealership. Pads that are failing may make a squealing or grinding sound, which indicates the pads have worn so thin that they're scraping against the brake rotors. Feeling your vehicle pull to one side when you brake may mean the pads are coated with grease, dirt, or dust. Routine brake cleaning may prevent this problem, so ask your dealership if it's the right choice for your vehicle. Your pads create friction that slows or stops your vehicle, making them essential to your car's safe and proper functioning. However, the friction causes them to become thinner and less effective over time. Ignoring your vehicle's pads can compromise your safety on the road and the safety of others. Schedule a service appointment at Ed Martin Chevrolet today, and be confident that your vehicle will be road ready for your daily commute and weekend adventures.
