  • Vehicle Location – Locating your vehicle is as easy as one, two, three. Just use the app to find your parking spot in the Buffalo Bills parking garage or pinpoint a vehicle that’s been stolen. You can even set geographic boundaries with automatic alerts.

  • Vehicle Status Checks – Use the app to check your remaining fuel range or oil life, or get your tire pressure readings before you set out on an adventure near Cheektowaga! It’s never been easier to plan ahead.
  • App-based Service Scheduling – Save your favorite local service center, and schedule your next oil change or tire rotation with the press of a button.
  • Wi-Fi® Hotspot Management – Set your password, manage restrictions, or purchase a new data plan without ever placing a phone call.
  • Family Sharing – Add up to eight family members to share functions like remote commands without having to all share the same account.
  • Trailering – Test trailer lights, calculate trailer load, and access a helpful glossary of trailering terminology and acronyms, all to better make certain that you won’t run into avoidable problems out on the road.

Chevrolet Owner Resources

  • myChevrolet Rewards – As you use the app, you’ll earn myChevrolet Rewards points that you can use to redeem prizes. You could save on service visits, Chevy accessories, or even a new vehicle!

  • Send-To Navigation – Enter a destination on the myChevrolet app, and hit send. It will automatically appear in your vehicle’s navigation system, so you can start the car and get right on the road.

EV Features

  • Vehicle Status – Vehicle status is a little different for an electric vehicle, so EV owners will find a slightly different version of this function. It lets you check battery charge status, energy assist notifications, and plug-in reminders.
  • Find A Charge – Find nearby charging stations, and even use your phone as a payment method. You can also get notification when your home or other preferred charging stations are out of range.
  • Plan Your Route – The myChevrolet app can give you an “energy bubble” visualization of the distance you can travel on a single charge, or help you plan a longer trip along a route with easily accessible charging stations.
