Some TLC for Your Vehicle Electrical System in Salem

January 15th, 2024

If you don't drive an electric vehicle, and you don't really focus on the specifics inside your ride all that often, you might pass over the idea of your vehicle's electrical system needing maintenance and repairs until there's a reason to focus on it. Just like all the other working parts in your vehicle, the electrical system undergoes wear and tear and over time will need service to keep it running in excellent condition. We want to help you keep tabs on the health of your vehicle, including all the electrical components so you don't get stranded without a ride because your battery died one day or your alternator isn't working. It can be a lot to focus on and remember around your day to day life. That's why our experts are here to help keep your vehicle going strong here at Capitol Chevrolet.

Your electric system plays a crucial role inside your vehicle. Over time systems and electrical parts will wear out and die like your battery,  and you'll need to get that replaced ASAP to keep your ride cruising down the road. A good way to avoid surprises like a dead battery or issues with other components like your starter and alternator is to have regular electrical system services that let the technicians take a look at the health of each electrical part inside your ride to see if everything is in good shape. Keeping tabs on the different components inside your vehicle, including the ignition, can really help you avoid costly repairs if the issue can be resolved before it's a big problem.

Electrical System Services at Capitol Chevrolet

Having your electrical system serviced isn't something you need to fret about doing all the time. This is an easy service to have done every once in a while when you stop in for a quick oil change, and you can ask a technician if now is a good time to have the system checked. Our experts are here to help and will let you know if something looks like it's going to cause you issues. Luckily most electrical systems in your ride have a long lifespan, such as your battery. In most cases, a battery will survive roughly four years or so especially in newer models. If there are issues with other components like your alternator and starter, this can affect the overall life of your battery. To keep up to speed with what your vehicle needs we recommend having this service performed once a year to see if anything is getting close to needing repairs or replacements. If you're concerned about something electrical inside your Chevrolet, we highly recommend bringing your vehicle in and scheduling an appointment so one of our technicians can help you out.

If the service is performed and it turns out you do need a new battery, replacement alternator, or anything else on the list, our convenient parts department has many replacement parts to make the job easy. If we don't happen to have it onhand our technicians can order the parts and let you know when they are available for service to take the stress off your shoulders.
