Chevy Service vs. Quick Lube Shops: Why Scott Chevrolet is Better

May 05, 2023 · 2 min read

Chevy service is essential for protecting your vehicle, maintaining vehicle value, and reducing the need for costly repairs. But you want to be sure that you’re scheduling the highest quality service that will make a difference, and that’s where Scott Chevrolet can help. We’re sharing a closer look at why you’ll want to skip the quick lube shop for service and bring your vehicle to the experts instead.

They’re Not Certified

There’s no guarantee that the team who takes your vehicle at an express shop has any experience working on cars, especially not your make and model. You may drive away with hidden damage or incorrectly serviced parts and systems. We’ve had to perform extensive and very expensive work because a quick lube “technician” put the wrong fluid in the wrong reservoir, causing catastrophic engine damage. At Scott Chevrolet, we offer Chevrolet Certified Service, so you know your vehicle is getting proper care from a team that knows best.

They Focus on the Bottom Line

Quick-service shops are all about quick money, so you may find yourself paying for services and repairs you didn’t intend to purchase or don’t even need. Worse still, they may charge full price for cut-rate services. For example, quick lube shops often top off by adding a few ounces of fluid to a reservoir but charge you for a complete fluid change. Since it’s all about money, you can never entirely trust if your vehicle needs the service or care recommended.

They Often Use Cheap Parts

These often pad their margins by selling cheap parts and fluids at a significant markup. You may not get the same performance, and if replacement parts are involved in your service, they may be more prone to damage. At Scott Chevrolet, we’re proud to carry and use genuine Chevy parts, so you can trust that your vehicle will run at the top of its capacity for a long time to come.

Protecting Your EV Battery in Cold Weather

At Scott Chevrolet, we know that a Pennsylvania winter doesn’t pull any punches. Cold weather affects all types of vehicles, from gasoline cars to hybrids, but electric cars like the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV require particular attention because of their high-capacity batteries. Take these precautions to keep your EV running at the top of its game all winter long. Protect Your Charger You should park your EV in a covered location like a garage if you can. However, if you have to park outside, you’ll want to protect both your battery and your charging cable. These cables are designed to be waterproof, but they can be damaged by snow, ice, or sleet, so consider investing in a charger cover to avoid damage. Precondition Your Cabin When it’s cold outside, your EV will need a little time to warm up, just like a traditional engine. To avoid draining the battery, you can use the cabin preconditioning functionality of the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV, which lets you warm your car up with power from the charging cable. If you leave your car to charge overnight, you can use this feature in the morning to warm up your cabin and still enjoy a full charge. Storing Your Car If you’re going to be leaving your 2025 Chevy Equinox EV in a garage for a while this winter, protect your battery in advance. Set the charging limit to 50 percent and leave your car plugged in. This should keep both your high-capacity EV battery and traditional 12-volt battery charged, even if the temperature drops, but you can also add a trickle charger to make sure. Test-Drive the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV in Allentown, PA With an engaging drive and up to 319 miles of range, the 2025 Chevy Equinox EV is a great way to take the plunge into electric driving at Scott Chevrolet.
