This has been a rough winter for many and the warmer sunny days of Spring are a welcome sight. With those warmer days come a change with your vehicle maintenance. We at Larry H Miller Automotive Dealerships want you to be prepared for your vehicle maintenance so we have listed 5 things to prepare your vehicle for Spring:
Fluids: Winter weather can deplete your vehicle fluids. Be sure to check the oil, wiper, brake, and antifreeze fluids to make sure they are topped off.
Tires: Take a full look at your tire tread for any wear and tear. Check for bald spots or any bulges that may have occurred. Check with
your owner’s manual for the proper tire pressure.
Wipers: In winter, wipers get a lot of use in the colder months so invest in quality wipers to
keep your sight clear on the roads.
Battery:
Check your battery cables for proper use. Don’t be stuck with a dead battery
and no cables for yourself or a neighbor.
Head
and Brake lights: Do a safety check to make sure your lights are not dim or
dead.
"Buying in bulk is nothing new. That's the logic behind a Total Care Auto Prepaid Maintenance Plan; pay for necessary maintenance upfront and save money. Regularly maintained vehicles are safer, more reliable, and can make the difference between you being the person stranded on the side of the road and the person that stops to help them. If you sell your car, you can cancel your remaining plan, or better yet, transfer it to the new owner because a car that comes with prepaid maintenance can sell faster and for more money. When it comes to the maintenance of your vehicle, a dollar of prevention is truly worth a hundred dollars of cure. That's the value of Total Care Auto Prepaid Maintenance. "
The time has come to buy another vehicle. Whether you have a growing family, a new teen driver, or just need an upgrade, we all face some decisions when stepping on the lot.
One of the first decisions is whether to Lease or Buy a new vehicle. We know this can be a big decision for the shopper so we have broken down the basics of purchase and leasing each for you. [tweet this].
Benefits of Leasing
Smaller (or no) down payment - Getting a great payment is essential to making a car affordable.
A new car every few years - Since leases are structured to utilize the most productive period of a vehicle, you will rarely have to worry about maintenance or components of the vehicle failing, warranting costly repairs.
No long-term commitment - Leasing give you the opportunity to restart another agreement on a vehicle you want to drive.
Benefits of Purchasing
Full ownership of the vehicle at the end of the loan - If you decide to finance your purchase with a loan, when you make the last payment on the loan, you'll own your car and can choose to sell it or continue driving it.
No limit on mileage - Leasing gives you a small payment... which means a restriction on mileage. Mile overage charges can be quite costly.
Less worry about dents and dings/condition - When you own your vehicle, it is your property. You will not have to worry about turning in the vehicle in perfect condition.
