The nice thing about Chevy is that there are 2,904 dealerships in the USA. There are 11 Chevy dealerships within a 40 mile radius of my house. Even when I was driving my ambulance cross-country and got stuck in the middle of nowhere Missouri there were plenty to choose from. This is 100 miles along I-70

There used to be a Ford and a Chevy dealers here. Then the Ford closed up and left. Then the Chevy stopped being a dealership and became an independent mechanic shop and used car dealer.
Now the closest dealership is at lest 60 miles away. The funny thing is it is a combination of a Toyota and a Chevrolet right next to each other. Excuse the bathroom joke, sorry. They did upsell me a 12V battery for the Avalon as it was well over $300. But I couldn't find any place closer and didn't want to drive hundreds of miles just to get a 12V battery. None of the non-dealer parts shops can get a 12V battery for a 2013 Avalon. I know, I tried all of them.
