Getting Your Car Ready For Winter
Living in northeast Ohio has its benefits, such as a lower cost of living, enjoying all four seasons, and being predominantly safe from most severe weather conditions. The biggest downfall is that it gets really cold and snows a lot. With the roads taking the brunt of the snow, ice and salt, another asset tackling winter weather head-on is our vehicles. Here at Greenwood’s Hubbard Chevrolet, we’re providing you with a to-do list and some items to get you and your vehicle ready for winter.
Prepare Early
With the rapid temperature swings from warm to cold and back again, you should start getting your vehicle prepared now by making sure your car is clean inside and out. Wash the vehicle thoroughly, including the undercarriage, removing dirt and grime so there’s no build-up when snow and ice arrive. Clean the vehicle’s interior and make sure you have plenty of room to store important items and keep those items protected from the cold. Everyone should have a survival kit or container filled with essentials in case of an emergency including, a warm blanket, gloves, hat, jumper cables, phone charger, first aid kit, bag of road salt, collapsible shovel, flashlight, and defroster spray for windows. These items can help you in an emergency situation. Keeping these items in the trunk is beneficial, and they won’t take up much space. You may also want to invest in some weather-proof rubber mats to prevent damage and wear and tear. They’re easier to clean and help protect the floor underneath.
Test Your Battery and Other Precautions
You should also get your battery tested to make sure it’s not going bad and will be able to start your car in freezing temperatures. For those unable to keep their vehicle in a garage or covered area protected from the harsh weather, you should make sure your window tracks are lubricated. This can be done with a dry, teflon spray to prevent the window from freezing shut which causes damage. We also recommend checking your tire pressure, tread depth, and the overall condition of the tires. Windshield wipers are another often overlooked, but very important wintertime car accessory. You should make sure they’re clean and replace them if they have cracks or look worn out.
Get Under the Hood
It’s also important to look under the hood. Check your oil level and add more if it’s needed. You should also top-off the antifreeze, windshield wiper fluid, coolant, and remember to keep your gas tank over half a tank at all times. You shouldn’t let it get too low or close to empty because it can cause the fuel line to freeze up.
Ice, snow, and the cold temperatures are some of our vehicles’ worst enemies during winter months. Follow these tips to prepare your car for the worst and keep you and your passengers safe!
How to Make the Most Out of Your Trade
Deciding whether to trade in your vehicle or sell it yourself can be difficult. There are advantages and disadvantages to both options, but trading in your vehicle at a dealership is much easier to deal with. At Hubbard Chevrolet, we are focused on getting what’s best for you, so today we will lay out the benefits of trading in your vehicle rather than selling it yourself. This is the simplest way to get your used car out of your hands and get you behind the wheel of a brand new car.
Off Your Hands
One of the best reasons to trade-in your vehicle instead of selling it yourself is that it’s hassle-free. The vehicle will be off of your hands immediately and you won’t have to worry about listing it, contacting potential buyers, setting meetups, and having to deal with the entire buying process. We will handle all of that for you, making things much simpler for you.
Legal Implications
Dealing with buyers remorse and complications that may come with buying a used car can also be difficult when you sell a car independently. Someone may come back to you and expect you to pay and threaten legal action. We take vehicles “as is,” so you won’t have to worry about this happening when you trade-in a vehicle. The dealer trade process is very straightforward, so you’ll never have to worry about any legal implications.
Focusing on the next vehicle
If you trade in your vehicle with a dealership, the payment you receive can automatically be put towards your new vehicle. This may not seem like a lot, but it is so much more convenient to just have the money ready to put down on the new vehicle. The other benefit of putting the money directly towards your new vehicle is a tax break. You will only be charged sales tax on the difference between the trade-in value and the new car price. If you were to sell the vehicle yourself, you would be taxed on the income of your old vehicle and pay sales tax for the new vehicle as well. This can save you a lot of money up front.
Trading in your vehicle is a simple process through Hubbard Chevrolet and we will make sure you get the most out of it. We want all of our customers to be satisfied with their experience here, and trade-ins are no exception. Stop in today with your used vehicle to find out what we can do for you!
