When it comes to stepping behind the wheel of a new Chevrolet, many customers opt for a leased vehicle, rather than purchasing one outright. This can be for a variety of personal or financial reasons, such as to keep monthly payments low. That said, leasing a car rather than purchasing one does not afford you good reason to skimp on its maintenance!
When the time comes to close your lease, if the car presents any excess wear and tear, you may be charged with some unexpected additional fees. The easiest and best way to avoid these fees is to make sure that your leased Chevrolet is properly maintained the entire duration of your lease. At Capitol Chevrolet in Salem, Oregon, we are here to help you do just that.
A main reason many customers avoid regular maintenance on their leased vehicles is simply because they want to avoid having to pay for that maintenance. To that we say: don't worry! Your leased Chevrolet vehicle is still covered under the manufacturer's warranty. For you, this means that you won't have to spend anything extra on major repairs, provided you keep up with regularly scheduled preventative maintenance as recommended for your model by Chevrolet. Since two years of complimentary maintenance comes with every new Chevrolet purchase, basic essentials like oil changes and tire rotations are included.
FAQ: How Exactly Do I Maintain My Leased Vehicle?
There's no getting around it: when it comes to responsibly caring for your leased Chevrolet vehicle, preventative maintenance is where it's at. Such basic measures include regularly changing out filters, keeping the tires properly inflated and rotated, and getting regular oil changes to keep the car's engine in tip-top shape. All of these measures come together to keep your leased vehicle healthy overall and performing at a high level. Also, there is always the possibility that you may choose to go ahead and buy your leased Chevrolet in the future, so you'll want to keep it in good condition for that reason alone.
It's a good idea to know up-front what the terms and conditions are regarding regular maintenance of your leased vehicle, as every dealership will have their own idea as to what defines excessive wear and tear. So, be sure to read through, or have a knowledgeable representative explain to you, exactly what you are signing when you begin your lease. In general, as long as you maintain the scheduled regular maintenance for your leased Chevrolet, like we've already reiterated here, you will be more than ready to return your lease when the time comes.
