With the price of gas very high right now – and possibly getting even higher – you may not be terribly happy with the car you’re driving. If it can be described as a “gas guzzler,” this may be costing you a lot of money.

For the most part, your Chevy takes pretty good care of itself. That doesn’t mean, however, that it is completely self-sufficient. It’s up to you to make sure it gets routine maintenance. And if you skip this regular Chevrolet service, the results won’t be great.

Your Car Won’t Perform Well

One of the most essential aspects of preventative maintenance is that it allows a car to remain in great health. It doesn’t take much for things to get out of whack with a car.

For instance, running over a pothole could create misalignment with the wheels. With regular service, this can be fixed, ensuring you get a smoother and more balanced ride.

You Could Be on the Hook for Something Expensive

That word “preventative” we just used is important to remember, especially where your wallet is concerned. This is because when a potential problem is spotted, you can take care of it before it turns into something big and expensive.

Even something as simple as oil changes could prevent you from having engine problems down the road.

Your Vehicle Won’t Last as Long

Finally, perhaps the most important reason for regular maintenance is that it helps ensure your car stays in good condition for as long as possible. If you don’t want to have to go buy another car anytime soon, you need to treat your current vehicle as well as possible. And by sticking to a service schedule, this is a pretty easy thing to do.

Lester Glenn Chevrolet of Freehold will make sure your car always gets the regular service it needs. Get in touch with our service center to make an appointment.

Chevy Bolt EUV

When you do a lot of driving every day, you burn a lot of gas, which means you have to keep filling up. This, however, is not an issue with the all-electric Chevy Bolt EUV. On a full charge, you can drive up to 250 miles, which should be more than enough for your daily driving.

New drivers need the right cars, which is why so many parents choose Chevy vehicles when shopping for vehicles for their teens. There are three main reasons why Chevy cars are ideal for new, inexperienced drivers, and when you visit Lester Glenn Chevy of Freehold, we can show you why our models are some of the safest vehicles on the market.

Advanced Safety Features

Chevy vehicles typically get excellent safety ratings every year. They also have numerous built-in safety features. The 2021 Chevy Equinox, for example, comes with: 

• Automatic emergency braking 
• Lane departure warning 
• Pedestrian detection 
• Forward collision warning 
• Lane keep assist 
• Rearview camera 
• Following distance indicator 
• Automatic high-beam headlights 

The Chevy Equinox also comes with the innovative Teen Driver system. This system helps parents keep an eye on the driving habits of their teens, and it also lets them put limits on how fast their teens can drive. 

Long-Lasting Fuel Efficiency

Because new drivers are generally young, they may not have a ton of money to spend on gas. When it comes to gas mileage, few carmakers can compete with Chevy.

Our sedans are some of the most fuel-efficient models out on the road, and some of them don’t even need gas. For example, the 2021 Chevy Bolt is a fully electric vehicle that can go up to 259 miles on a single charge.

Fun and Connected Driving

In addition to being fun to drive, Chevy cars also provide amusement when stuck in traffic. Many of our models come loaded with tech features, like the new Chevy Traverse, which comes standard with: 

• Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration
• Wi-Fi hot spot 
• Six USB ports 
• Seven-inch touchscreen 
• Bluetooth® connectivity

At Lester Glenn Chevrolet of Freehold, we’ve got several perfect vehicles for the new driver in your family. Come see us to check out these models or anything else in stock.

Not sure whether you should buy a new or pre-owned Chevy? If you are looking to save money, you’ll definitely want to go the pre-owned route. A pre-owned model from Lester Glenn Chevy of Freehold will help you save money in three important ways, which we can tell you all about when you visit.

Saving on Your Purchase 

Maybe this goes without saying, but a pre-owned Chevy – even if it’s just a 2019 model, for example – will most likely be thousands of dollars cheaper than a 2021 model. This lower sales price will allow you to make a smaller down payment and pay less money every month. Plus, you are still going to get many advanced features, including state-of-the-art infotainment systems and the latest safety components.

Saving on Your Insurance 

Car insurance can be extremely costly. If you decide to purchase a new car, you will quickly experience that firsthand. A pre-owned model, however, will help cut your costs. The more valuable a vehicle is, the more money the insurance company will have to pay to replace or repair it, hence larger premiums. 

Saving on Registration Fees 

Another reason to go with an older model is because it will cut your registration fees. Just like with insurance, registration fees are based on a vehicle’s value and model year. They are typically the highest in the first three years of ownership, and then they gradually shrink. That means if you buy a car that is three years old or older, you will immediately save money.
