'Tis the season! This year, your friends at Hulett Chevrolet-Buick-GMC are here to help you embrace the holiday spirit more than ever before. Car decals have always been a great way to show off your love for Christmas. It may be two days before Christmas, but it's definitely not too late to add a few of these fun decorations to your vehicle! Christmas Wreath Christmas vehicle decorations don't have to be complex.

Small wreaths can usually be purchased at fairly low costs, too, so you don't have to stress about snow, rain, and other natural elements tearing it up.

Does it Pass the Test (Drive)?

Thinking of buying a new vehicle at the Lake of the Ozarks ? Taking your prospective vehicles for a test drive is one of the most crucial parts of buying a car at the Lake .

Well, there is actually a great deal more to an effective test drive than meets the eye. In order to find the vehicle that is perfect for you, the knowledgeable sales staff at Hulett Chevrolet-Buick-GMC recommend the following tried and true test drive tips.

The holidays are quickly approaching. People are running around frantically, desperately trying to get ahead on their shopping, cooking, gift-wrapping, and baking.  Everyone is spending almost all of their time thinking about how to make other people happy during this holiday season - and that's a wonderful thing! But the team at Hulett Chevrolet-Buick-GMC in Camdenton wants to remind you that it's also important to take time for yourself.  We use our vehicles at the Lake of the Ozarks more than we use almost any other possession.

Don't Get Stranded without a Winter Survival Kit!

Image
Whether you believe in the farmer's almanac and weather superstitions or not, you've undoubtedly heard by now that this coming winter is supposed to be unbelievably cold and snowy here at the Lake of the Ozarks. Temperatures are already hovering at or below freezing, the woolly worms are solid black, and everyone is finding "spoons" in persimmons. These signs, coupled with a frigid winter last year, point towards another wickedly cold winter for central Missouri. Everyone knows about the actions they should take to prepare their homes or boats for the winter months, but what about their cars? The team at Hulett Chevrolet-Buick-GMC is here to remind everyone to take some time now to also prepare your vehicles for winter. A winter survival kit can help protect you and your family while you're on the road during the freezing months ahead. Consider building two separate winter survival kits - one containing everything you might need for your vehicle and one cont

Perks of Buying a Used Vehicle

Image
Wahoo! After months (or possibly even a year) of scraping by with your old car, you've finally decided to bite the bullet and actually begin your search for a new  vehicle at the Lake of the Ozarks . Now it's time to make one very crucial decision: Do you buy a used or a new vehicle? The good news is, there really isn't a right or wrong answer to this question. Buying a used car has its advantages, as does buying a new one. The perks to buying a new car are pretty self-explanatory - you can be confident that everything is in good working order when you purchase it, you'll never have to wonder if it was maintained well in the past, and the fact that it has zero miles on it mean that it will probably last you for a long, long time - but did you know that purchasing a used car has several equally great perks? Buying a pre-owned vehicle allows you to save money at every turn, without sacrificing any quality. Beat Depreciation It's common knowledge that a ca
