Spring Car Care Tips

Salt Lake City is warming up and spring time is officially here! Harsh winter weather can often be tough on a vehicle, so this is the time to reward your car for taking such good care of you by making sure you do some basic spring car maintenance. Use the following spring car care tips to get your vehicle ready for warmer weather!

• Check Your Battery, Plugs and Wires: Winter cold can significantly decrease your car battery's performance. Have a Certified Technician assess the strength of your batter to ensure you don't get stranded out on the road.
• Check Your Tires: Colder air can decrease air pressure in your tires which can cause them to wear more quickly and unevenly. Check your tires using a tire pressure gauge and inflate them to the appropriate levels as necessary. Check your tire pressure often, as it is not uncommon for pressure to change frequently. 
• Check Your Fluid Levels: It's always a good idea to make sure your vehicle is topped off on all fluids--including your oil levels! Your Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray Technicians will do this automatically when you come in for an oil change.
• Check Your Windshield Wipers: Winter can leave wiper blades stiff and cracked, resulting in poor visibility during times of wet weather. Get them changed out on your next service visit. You'll be glad you did! 
• Check the Engine Air Filter: All of the beautiful spring blossoms also fill the air with pollens and dusts that you'll want to be sure get caught in your air filter. Have your Certified Technician examine your filters to be sure that your vehicle is ready for everything spring throws at you. 

Your team here at Larry H. Miller Chevrolet in Murray can help you identify other areas in need to help you vehicle run optimally for spring and summer. Schedule an appointment online, or give us a call at 866-789-1427.

Car Loans and Bad Credit

Purchasing a car can seem like an impossible thing to do if you have bad credit or are currently trying to rebuild your situation. Many people commonly feel like their options are greatly limited because of their situation, and some are even embarrassed because of it. Fortunately, these are all misconceptions. Buying a vehicle, used or new, is very possible, and our Utah Car Credit team specializes in just that. We want to help you rebuild your credit profile and help you get into a reliable car that meets your needs and makes you feel good.

Here are a few more common misconceptions about buying a car with bad credit:

·      “I can’t buy a car if I’ve declared bankruptcy.” – Breathe deep, because this is absolutely not true! Our specialty is bad credit, and we can help you navigate your current situation to find a great situation for you—even if that’s bankruptcy!

·      “I’ll be stuck in an old car with a high interest rate.” – Again, this doesn’t have to be the case. In many circumstances we are able to get our customers into a brand new car at a great rate that help them rebuild their credit situation. 

·      “My options are limited.” – This is perhaps the greatest misconception of all.  You do have options, and we can help you figure out exactly what they are.  Our experienced, low-pressure team are experts at this and can help you understand your options and find a situation that you’re comfortable with.

If you have questions about what the possibilities might be with your current situation, come and see us. We’d love to sit down with you and give you an honest assessment.  Whatever you do, don’t let your credit situation keep you from owning a reliable car that you enjoy.

What To Do After A Car Accident

Getting in a car accident is a stressful and often times scary event. There is a lot to think about immediately after an accident, and it's easy to get overwhelmed or flustered and forget some important things. You might also ask yourself; what do I do now? What information do I need? What do I need to tell my insurance company? Hopefully you never get into an accident, but if you do, here are some helpful tips to make sure you and your vehicle are taken care of.

Things to remember:

• Stop your vehicle immediately and write down the license plate number of the other vehicle involved.
• Show your driver's license and registration to the other driver and any police officer.
• If anyone is seriously injured, call 911 or the local authorities immediately. 
• Write down a complete description of the accident as soon as possible. This will help keep the details of the accident fresh in your mind. 
• Notify your insurance company, even if the claim appears small and there are no apparent injuries. Settling the claim yourself is risky.
• You are the person who is responsible for having your car repaired to your satisfaction. Choosing a quality repair shop is important and you should not be rushed into a decision. 
• Make sure every detail has been attended to and repaired to your satisfaction before signing any insurance company release. 
• Make sure you read and understand all papers before you sign them. 

After the accident, one of your next steps will be to have the damage on your vehicle repaired. Making sure that your repairs are done correctly, safely and professionally is extremely important. Your Collision Center team at Larry H. Miller Chevrolet in Murray can help guide you through this process, and ensure you a worry free experience. Choosing a dealership Collision Center will give you peace of mind knowing that the work has been done correctly by OEM Certified Technicians who are trained to work on any make and model.

Holiday Road Trip Tips

With the holidays rapidly approaching, many families will be loading up the car, filling up the tank and embarking on a journey on the open road to visit family and friends.  If you’re planning on doing something similar, one of the last things you want to encounter while traveling is car trouble of any kind. Luckily, there are some things you can do to help prevent problems that could put a damper on your holiday spirit. Whether you’re driving just a few hours or a few days, here are a few road trip tips that everyone should check off before making the trek.

·      Check your tires- Remember, your tires are the only parts of the vehicle that touch the ground. Make sure that you check the tread on your tires to ensure that they’ll stand up to any wet or cold weather that you might pass through. Also, be sure to check the inflation levels on your tires, including your spare. Overinflated or underinflated tires can wear more quickly and unevenly, and can also adversely affect your gas mileage.

·      Get your oil changed- One of the best ways to prevent engine trouble is to change your oil regularly. If you’re headed on a road trip where you’ll be racking up some miles, be sure to bring your car into us and let us help.

·      Top off your fluids- Just like changing your vehicle’s oil, making sure your other fluids such as power steering, wiper fluid, coolant, etc. are adequate is important. Again, all this can be done right here at your dealership.

·      Load up on snacks- It’s not all about the car, right? Make sure you fill your glove box with your favorite treats to keep your stomach full, your mind alert and the kids happy.

·      Bring a basic repair/tool kit- You never know what you might encounter out on the road. Being prepared with a basic kit of tools and repair essentials will come in handy just in case something does go wrong. Items like a tire iron, chains, a flashlight, first aid kit, gloves, etc. are important. For more suggestions and help with your kit, just ask us and we would be happy to help.

Wherever you’re going this holiday season, be sure to drive safely and have fun. If you have any questions regarding your vehicle and ways to prepare it for an upcoming road trip, come in to Larry H. Miller Chevrolet in Murray where our team is ready to assist you and give you the peace of mind you want before your trip. www.larryhmillerchevrolet.com

Chevy Small Business Tax Credits

Miller Chevrolet in Murray can help you learn more and take advantage.

The GM Business Choice Program is an incentive program designed to help business owners who use their vehicles for work-related purposes. Whether you’re buying or leasing, Business Choice can help you get the most out of your money and work vehicle.

• Are you a business owner?
• Is the vehicle you desire going to be used in the day-to-day operation of your business and not solely for transportation purposes?
