Modern cars are designed to last, which is just one of the reasons that our used cars are such a great option for McMinnville drivers. Our team here at Armstrong Chevrolet believes in putting the right keys in the right hands—and all at the right price.

Not only can purchasing pre-owned keep your costs down and deliver on a great vehicle, but a little maintenance and care can ensure that you keep driving it for years to come.

How Can I Extend the Life of My Used Car?

Purchasing a used vehicle can save you time and money and help you take home a car you really love. Here are a few tips for easily extending the life of your used car.

  • Do Your Research: You want to make sure that the car you’re taking home is in good shape. When test-driving and exploring your pre-owned vehicle options, look at service and accident history and check for any signs of damage.
  • Drive Carefully: The safer and more intentionally you drive, the longer your car will last. For instance, a lot of local driving can put strain on the brakes and your vehicle’s battery, so pay attention to your driving habits.
  • Listen to Your Car’s Needs: The best way to determine if you need new Chevrolet parts or repairs is to simply listen and watch for any changes in your vehicle. The check engine light is a good indicator that a vehicle needs support, but an increased stopping distance, excessive exhaust, or the smell of rotten eggs can all indicate a problem that needs to be addressed.
  • Bring Your Vehicle to Armstrong Chevrolet: With high-quality parts, vehicle inspections, and regular care and maintenance, we’ll make sure your pre-owned vehicle runs right, so you never have to worry.

Pre-owned vehicles, certified pre-owned vehicles, and car service are all available right here at Armstrong Chevrolet. Take your next test drive in McMinnville today.
