Bennington Chevrolet’s Guide To Changing Your Battery:
- First, make sure your vehicle is in park with the engine turned off. Next pop open the hood and locate the battery. If you were previously driving the vehicle, be sure to give your vehicle enough time to cool down before working on anything under the hood. Then, detach the negative cable (black) from the battery. Loosen the nut with a wrench, twist the end of the cable with your hand and pull the cable away from the battery terminal. Repeat with the positive cable (red).
- Next unclamp the battery hold-down clamp from the battery– you may need to use a wrench or a socket and ratchet. Once the clamp is off, remove the battery from the holding tray. Be aware that while compact, batteries are heavy, so lift with your legs!
- Clean the holding tray, cables, and nuts/ bolts of dirt, debris, and buildup using a battery cleaning solution. You want to use an anti-corrosive cleaning solution and you want to pay extra attention to any spots with corrosion, this could cause problems down the road if not addressed. After cleaning, be sure the parts are completely dry before inserting the new battery.
- Insert the new battery and secureit in place with the hold-down clamp. Apply an anti-corrosive solution to both terminal ends. Once this is completed, attach the positive battery cable first and then the negative cable. Make sure you tighten both terminals to ensure you have a tight and secure connection.
- Check the security of the battery, your battery should not be able to wiggle or move once inside the holding tray. If your battery is able to move, tighten the clamp and be sure the cables are tight and secure, as well. Before closing up, try starting your vehicle to ensure that everything is working properly. Then you should be good to go!

With National Dog Day tomorrow you might have plans to travel to the beach, hiking trail, or the local dog park to celebrate! Lucky for you, this week Bennington Chevrolet is laying out some helpful tips for traveling with your pup below! So, take a peek to make your travels a little less RUFF! And if you haven’t serviced your ride in a while, be sure to schedule a service appointment today and skip the line later!
Bennington Chevrolet’s Pet Travel Checklist:
Lead, Collar, Leash, and ID tag:
- The last thing you want to happen is your dog to run off in a place they don’t know. So, make sure you keep your dog on their leash unless you’re in a leashless allowed area with an identification tag that has your phone number on it just in case!
Food, water, bowls:
- Pups need to stay hydrated too! Especially if you’re both going out to do lots of activities!
Doggy baggies:
- Bring waste disposable bags and be responsible for your pets “droppings”.
Crates and restraints:
- Even if your dog is usually a happy traveler, it isn’t safe for them to roam freely throughout the car, in the case of an accident.
Toys!!!:
- Always bring along a ball or tug of war toy to really get out all that extra energy your pup may have so that they’ll be ready to crash and relax later!
Inflation has led to an increase in prices across various sectors, and fuel costs are no different. Considering daily commutes, school drop-offs, and upcoming late-summer journeys, we understand the essential nature of gasoline. Thus, we invite you to carefully consider the suggestions provided below. If you’re interested in driving a Chevrolet model with better fuel efficiency, take the opportunity to explore Bennington Chevrolet’s new inventory through our user-friendly online platform today!
Bennington Chevrolet’s Fuel Saving Tips:
Keep Track Of Your Mileage
- Knowing what mileage you’re getting in real time compared to what you got last time you were out and about. Most newer vehicles have this function and allow you to view it in your virtual cockpit and you can compare your driving performance to the EPA estimated MPG.
Try And Avoid Unnecessary Braking
- Be aware of your surroundings and diligently obey speed limits. This will help keep you from having to brake quickly to avoid obstacles and will hopefully keep you in rhythm with the rest of traffic so you won’t have to speed up or slow down too often.
Drive Using Momentum
- When you’re headed uphill, it takes a lot more effort to maintain speed than it does going down, so give the car a break and let yourself lose a few mph on the way up. Your car burns the most gas when it’s forced into high-load situations, so give it a break if you can.
Map Out Your Route Beforehand
- Take the path with fewer stoplights, not as much traffic and, yes, lower speed limits. Even if you save 0.1 gallons of gas each day, you’ll save more than over a hundred dollars per year!
Drive “Around” Rush Hour
- Most office buildings let out around the same hours on week days and we know you can’t just sit there till the roads are clear. Well, try alternate routes. It might add a few minutes to your commute but will save you more gas than having to deal with stop-and-go traffic!

With recent floods all around the state, it’s incredibly important to know how to drive during potential torrential downpours! The Bennington Chevy team wants to make sure you’re navigating the road as safely as possible this season. We offer several maintenance services to get your car ready for the rain, such as replacing your worn wipers, adjusting your brakes, and rotating and balancing your tires. But, even if you stay on top of maintenance, drive slowly, and avoid all puddles, we know roads can be unpredictable and scary this time of year. So, the Bennington Chevy team has prepared some tips on what to do if your car starts to hydroplane in the rain:
Take your foot off of the accelerator.
- Decelerating is your first step, and we know instincts will tell you to use your brakes to respond to hydroplaning, but sudden braking on a wet road can lead to skidding and a complete loss of control over your vehicle.
Gently turn your steering wheel in the direction your car is hydroplaning.
- Stay calm and do not jerk your steering wheel in any direction. Steering slightly into the direction you are hydroplaning will allow your tires to realign with your intended direction, getting you back on track and helping you regain steering control.
Wait until you feel your vehicle regain traction.
- All of this will happen in a matter of seconds or less and it is only when you feel your tires reconnect with the road that you should accelerate or fully brake.
Take a moment to compose yourself.
- You’ve successfully recovered from hydroplaning, but the adrenaline is still pumping and you may be a bit shaken. We suggest pulling over and taking a breather before continuing on with your journey.
We hope our team’s safety tips have helped you feel more prepared to take on the roads this season!
Now that summer is in full swing, things are really heating up! Just like us, our vehicles can take a beating from the soaring summer temperatures. To ensure that your vehicle doesn’t experience overheating or breakdowns that could cost you some serious cash, regular maintenance is required. But how do you know what you should be keeping an eye on? This week we have created the ultimate summer service checklist to help you out! Of course, we understand that some of us are not DIY people and that’s why the professionals at Bennington Chevy are more than happy to service your vehicle for you! Schedule your service appointment today and hit those summer roads with confidence!
Bennington Chevy’s Ultimate Summer Service Checklist:
Coolant: Keeping your vehicle cool is super important during the summer, not just for us but for your vehicle as well! Making sure the coolant level is correct is super important, this makes sure that your engine doesn’t overheat. Go the extra mile and check the state of the hoses and coolant reservoir, look for leaks or damage. If you find any make sure you get it fixed as soon as possible!
Engine Belts: There is usually a serpentine belt that runs between the alternator, the fan, and several other components. It can deteriorate, become loose, start to squeal, and sometimes just break for no apparent reason. It needs to be in good condition and at the right amount of tension. If you see cracks in the belt or small pieces missing, it’s time to replace the belt.
Wipers: With hot summer days, come those summer storms we love to watch…even if we don’t want to be stuck in the middle of them. Things happen though and when it does you want to make sure your wipers are working properly so you can stay safe through any type of weather.
Other Essential Fluids: Check oil, brake, power-steering and windshield-washer fluids regularly. These liquids never stop being used and consumed. Speaking of brake fluid, how do the brakes on your car feel in general? Are they lacking a bit? Feeling a bit spongy? If so, new pads and a system bleed might be required.
Air-Conditioning System: A summer essential is your car’s AC! If the system isn’t working properly, check for leaks. If the AC is leaking when on, that is not good. There are plenty of sealing products you can use to fix this issue. IF this doesn’t resolve the issue, bring your car to a mechanic to be serviced.
Air Filter: The winter’s decomposing leaves may be clogging up drainage points, windshield-washer nozzles or your car’s air filter. Now might be a good time to buy a new one or take the current one out and give it a cleaning.
Tires: Tires really need to be checked all year long. Your tire pressure needs to be correct (check the owner’s manual) in order to work properly and not cause damage to your vehicle. And since summer is the time for road trips you want your tire to be in tip-top shape!
