Buying a vehicle is a big decision. It's important to take your time to make sure you are buying the perfect vehicle for your wants and needs. Once you've started to narrow down your car search in mid-Missouri, it's time to test drive your options. Test driving a vehicle at Hulett Chevrolet Buick GMC can help you get a feel for how the vehicle handles and the different comfort options available. A test drive can really set a vehicle apart from the other options you're considering. Don't miss this step when buying a vehicle at the Lake of the Ozarks!

Test Drive Tips:

Plan Your Route

Think ahead and plan your test drive route. Be sure to include in-town and highway drive time during a test drive. This can help you get a better idea of the various driving conditions and speeds you'll experience on a daily basis. If you need any directions or route suggestions, your salesperson can help offer advice on where to take the vehicle.

Keep it Consistent

It can be challenging to test drive a number of different vehicles and distinguish between the different rides. Try to keep your test drive consistent with all the others to ensure you are comparing apples to apples. Take a similar route and drive the vehicle like it is your own. This can help give you a good idea of how each vehicle would handle your typical commute.

Check Out the Features

Don't forget to look around! While driving, we recommend keeping your focus on the road, take a few moments to check out the cool features each vehicle offers. You never know, one of these features may be a make or break in your car buying decision!

Look Over the Exterior

Check over the exterior of the vehicles you test drive. Get a good look at the paint condition, look under the hood, and inspect the tires. This quick check can help give you a heads up if any repairs or replacements will be needed in the near future.

Get Opinions

If you are still debating between a few different vehicles, seek advice from a trusted friend or family member. Someone who knows your personal tastes and style may be able to help you narrow down your search even further. Also, our sales team can help point out various features of different vehicles and help you compare.

Now that you know these tips for test driving a vehicle, you're ready to start your search for a new ride. Our new and pre-owned car dealership at the Lake of the Ozarks is a great place to start! You can check out our selection online or stop by and take a look in person. One of our sales team members will be able to assist you and get you set up for a test drive. We look forward to helping you find the ideal vehicle for your unique wants and needs.

5 Reasons Your Check Engine Light Is On

It may be a little nerve wracking when your check engine light comes on. Nobody likes to see that their car is deteriorating. Usually, there is no warning or explanation for why the check engine light comes on. When you see this light come on, it means there is a trip to the best auto service department at the Lake of the Ozarks . There are many reasons why a vehicle's check engine light can come on, however, these are the five most common reasons. 1.

When a gas cap becomes loose or is broken, it can leak out fuel vapors, which can throw the whole fuel system off. If your check engine light comes on, but your car isn't feeling jerky or strange, the first thing you should check is the gas cap. 2.
