5 Tips for Buying Used in Ferndale

Here are 5 tips from Pete's Auto Repair for used car buyers:

1. Ask for service records. Most owners who document regular maintenance service take good care of their vehicle.

2. Inspect the vehicle thoroughly. Check for uneven tire wear, alignment, suspension issues, strange sounds and funky odors.

3. If everything checks out up to this point, take it to Pete's Auto Repair for a thorough used car inspection. Your friendly and knowledgeable service advisor at Pete's Auto Repair can give you a heads up on any pressing issues or emerging problems that will need to be addressed. If the seller won't let you do this before you buy, move on.

4. Buy a CarFax report. This should show you any major accidents and title status concerns, including whether it is a salvaged vehicle. You don't want a car that was underwater for a week after a flood.

5. After you buy, stay on top of regular maintenance (and save the records). Pete's Auto Repair will help keep your car running well.

As always, give us a call if you have any specific questions.
