When you're ready to see a vehicle in person, it's time to come visit us. If you've never been to a car dealership by yourself before, don't be intimidated. It may be overwhelming when you find our extensive lot of new and used vehicles, but having just a few questions at the ready can ease your mind and make the process move smoothly.

  1. What can I actually afford? Knowing your budget ahead of time will narrow down your choices for your test drive process. Use our payment calculator to help you determine potential car payments.
  2. Should I lease or buy a vehicle? There are many pros and cons when deciding whether or not to lease or buy your new or used car. If you plan on keeping your car for awhile, buying it may be the best option.
  3. What is the cost of ownership? Ask the dealership about vehicle protection plans to help reduce the cost of repairs and maintenance over time. The cost of ownership may vary from dealership to dealership.

Get certified service to keep your car on the road

Whether you buy a new or used vehicle, all cars require proper maintenance to stay in top driving condition. Ask your sales representative about our certified service center, which can handle a future oil change, warranty work, or find replacement parts.
