If you’ve taken out a Chevy lease, you already know it has an expiration date. That, in turn, raises a question: when it’s over, what comes next? If you’ve fallen in love with the car, you’re not obligated to lease another; instead, turn to Scott Chevrolet for help buying out your Chevrolet lease. 

Know Your Terms and Conditions

At the beginning of a lease, most lessees’ primary concerns are the duration, mileage, and avoiding wear and tear penalties. When the lease draws to a close, you’ll want to revisit your paperwork since the price to purchase the vehicle is disclosed at inception. You can compare this to current market values and see if you have some wiggle room in which to negotiate.

Do the Math

One of the most significant benefits when you took out your lease was that you didn’t need much money down to enjoy low monthly payments. Now, however, you’ll want to give that matter some thought. Financing is different since you can lower your monthly payments by putting some money down. If you’re still early in your lease or have some time before it expires, use our payment calculator to run the numbers and see how to lower that cost.

Begin Financing

When you lease a vehicle, you’re essentially renting rather than buying, so you don’t have a loan. However, when you buy the car out, you’ll have the same financing options as when you buy a vehicle without leasing first. Our professionals will help you compare financing options to ensure you get the best offer.

Scott Chevrolet is used to answering customers’ questions about electric vehicles. Besides the usual queries about range, battery life, and service, lately, more people are asking about whether they can tow with a Chevy EV. If you’ve been wondering, we’re about to take a moment to set the record straight with some excellent news. 

Are Chevy EV Models Capable of Towing?

That’s a great question, and the simple answer – “It’s complicated” – isn’t terribly helpful, so let’s break it down. Many electric vehicles’ motors are capable of similar torque and horsepower to their gasoline-powered counterparts.

However, towing is a complex equation involving the vehicle’s frame, axle weights, and cooling capabilities on top of its powertrain. So, while the Chevy Bolt EUV may look and perform like an SUV in many respects, it’s not tow-rated. However, that doesn’t mean that those requiring a tow vehicle are left out in the cold.

Which Chevy Vehicles Can Tow?

While the current Chevy EV lineup isn’t tow-rated, three models are coming to Chevy dealerships that offer impressive towing capabilities to back their ample cargo and payload capacities.

• Chevy Blazer EV: Deliveries start soon on this powerful ute that boasts 1,500 lb of towing and 25.5 to 59.1 cubic feet of cargo space.
• Chevy Equinox EV: Due later this fall, the Chevy Equinox EV promises a 1,500-lb tow capacity when properly equipped; its cargo space ranges from 39.4 to 57 cubic feet.
• Chevy Silverado EV: Due in Q2 2024, the first all-electric Chevy truck has a manufacturer-estimated towing capability of 10,000 lb.

With the right Chevrolet service, you can protect your vehicle, ensure safe driving, and improve vehicle efficiency. While Chevrolet service is essential all year long, it’s especially helpful for drivers navigating inclement road conditions, like those that develop during the fall weather transition. Learn how a service center visit can help you avoid common seasonal driving hazards at Scott Chevrolet. 

You’ll Improve Visibility

It gets dark much earlier in the fall than in the summer, so inspecting your headlights before the season hits is vital. You want to ensure that the bulbs and connections are working well, that your headlight covers are clean and clear, and that your headlights are facing in the right direction rather than down at the ground. This will all help to improve visibility and keep you safe.

You’ll Remove Obstructions

The environment also changes during fall because of the leaves. While beautiful, leaves can obscure our windshields and stick to the windows. This is especially true as the rainier weather begins to set in, and all the falling leaves can make it difficult to see the road ahead. To that end, you want to get your front and rear wipers inspected and your blades replaced, as needed.

You’ll Maintain Grip

The slippery conditions of rain and leaves make it especially important to get your tires inspected, as well. Our team will make sure your tires have enough tread for safe driving and will replace damaged or low-tread tires if needed.

With proper Chevrolet service and care, you can keep your vehicle safe, efficient, and comfortable on many more rides to come. Given the importance of your brakes for safety and ride quality, Scott Chevrolet invites you to visit for a brake inspection and maintenance as we celebrate Brake Safety Awareness Month. Let’s cover the essentials. 

Brake Service Explained

Your brakes are a complex system of several parts, so getting them inspected and serviced regularly is crucial. You always want to check your auto manual to know when to schedule service for your Chevrolet vehicle, but some of the most common brake services include brake pad replacements, brake fluid fill-ups, and brake inspections. Depending on how old the car is, you may also need to schedule repairs for the rotors or drums.

Signs Your Vehicle Needs Brake Service

It’s essential to follow a regular brake service schedule and recognize signs of damage or wear to the brakes so you can address them as soon as possible. These are a few of the indications that your brakes need service:

o Your car takes longer to stop
o You hear grinding or squealing sounds during the braking process
o Your vehicle pulls to one side when you brake
o The brake light comes on the dashboard
o Your brake pad feels soft or spongy
o You notice brake fluid leaks

There are many reasons to consider a Chevy EV when the time comes for a more efficient car. EV models can help reduce your environmental impact and save on fuel costs, and Scott Chevrolet is here to help make the transition smooth and easy. Learn everything you need to know about EV ownership at our dealership today, like how to charge your favorite EV model. 

Decide the Charge Level

You have three charging levels to pick from.

• Level 1 charging uses a regular 120-volt outlet; it’s convenient but slow.
• Level 2 charging uses a 240-volt setup that requires professional installation; you can use it to charge a PHEV or EV overnight.
• Level 3 DC Fast Charging uses higher voltages than home systems can handle; it’s only found at public stations.

Decide Where You’re Charging

Once you’ve decided how you’ll charge your vehicle, you must choose where to do it. Level 2 chargers can be installed at home and are common at public charging stations. Level 3 chargers are somewhat less common, but they’re still easy to find using the myChevrolet® mobile app.

Plug the Vehicle In

Charging your vehicle is much like charging your phone or another electronic device, right down to using an adaptor. Some EVs will require an additional dongle to transition between Level 2 and Level 3 chargers. Chevy EVs are designed with built-in power management to prevent overcharging, but if you’re at a public station, it’s common courtesy not to leave your EV plugged in past its allotted time.

The average length of car ownership in America is about eight years. Ensuring your vehicle lasts that long – or longer – means taking good care of it so it stays as smooth and safe as the day you brought it home. However, car care goes better at a Chevrolet service center rather than by using fuel and oil additives, as you’re about to see. 

Additives Explained

The most common additives are for fuel and motor oil, though other types are also available for uses like stopping a radiator leak. The one thing they all have in common is that they promise to protect your car and make it run better. But are they necessary?

The fluids used in modern cars are of higher quality than before and already contain detergents, antioxidants, and other beneficial chemicals. Generally, they don’t need anything extra.

That’s not the worst of it. Some additives have ingredients that can harm your engine even as they help in other areas. These chemicals can cause the degradation of plastic and rubber components and even cause pitting or damage to some metal parts, wreaking havoc on cylinders and pistons, gaskets, seals, and more.

Why Should I Schedule Service at a Service Center?

Several of the issues for which you’d use an additive are better addressed at a service center. Whether you need your fuel injectors cleaned, better protection from your motor oil, or to stop a slow leak in your radiator, you’ll get better care from a technician using genuine Chevy parts than you’d get from a bottle. Our team will determine if your vehicle needs new or better fluids and will help you preserve your car’s longevity the right way.

Schedule Service at Scott Chevrolet

There’s no better way to keep your vehicle running right than with routine service and care and no better team than Scott Chevrolet. Learn about the best ways to maintain your vehicle, and get the service you need, at our Allentown Chevrolet dealership.

If you want to purchase your first Chevrolet EV, Scott Chevrolet is here to help you at every step of the process. We carry a comprehensive inventory of EV models you won’t want to miss, and we’re sharing everything you need to know about making the transition to EV driving. Here are some top tips for first-time EV buyers from our expert team. 

Consider Your Driving Needs

When purchasing an EV model, you always want to know range needs and charging times. If you’re driving your EV every day, you’ll want to look into different models and capacities than someone who works from home or drives only occasionally.

Consider Installing a Home Charger

Begin by considering installing a charger at home. If your building supports it, an electrician can install a 240-volt Level 2 charging station to help you charge your vehicle overnight so it’s ready for the morning commute.

Account for Local Infrastructure

Perhaps you can’t install a charger at home (sometimes the case for townhomes and apartments), so think about where you can charge your vehicle locally. Does your workplace have an EV charging station, and are there Level 3 Charging stations nearby or along your route on longer trips? The myChevrolet™ mobile app can help you locate these chargers, manage battery life, and perform other vital tasks.

Check Into Subsidies

The requirements for EV subsidies are constantly changing, but you may still be able to save. Your Chevy dealer will guide you through the federal, state, and local incentives you may qualify for so you don’t miss out.

Set a Service Schedule

EV models actually need less service than internal combustion engine vehicles. That said, it is essential to service your EV model when the time comes, so consult your manual and set up your first service appointment immediately so you don’t forget.

Find Your Next Electric Chevrolet at Scott Chevrolet

These are just a few things you’ll want to keep in mind when the time comes for the first EV model. Schedule a test drive in a Chevy EV at Scott Chevrolet today.
