What to Do After Buying a Used Car?

There’s no better feeling than driving back to your Bloomington home in a quality-assured used Chevrolet. However, there are some essential steps after buying a used car that you need to take before regularly driving your car to and from your Minnetonka job. That’s why the experts at Suburban Chevrolet have figured out what to do after buying a used car, so you don’t have to. Take a look at our must-read guide below! 

The Most Important Steps After Buying a Used Car

It’s critical that you stay educated on what to do after buying a used car. Several of the steps listed below are actually required by law, depending on which state you live in. However, every single one of our recommended steps is guaranteed to keep you out of trouble and keep your car functioning properly for years to come. Take a look at some of the most important steps you should take after purchasing a used Chevy car, truck, or SUV: 

• Consider an extended warranty – Extended warranties can provide peace of mind when buying a used car. Just be sure to read the fine print carefully.
• Check for recalls – Recalls hit every manufacturer, so check the government’s website to see if any recalls apply to your vehicle.
• Read the owner’s manual – Many Minnetonka drivers toss the owner’s manual in the glove box and never think about it again. But there is very important information on its pages. You may discover features you didn’t even know your car had.
• Get the car serviced – Making sure the oil and spark plugs are changed, the fluids are topped off, and the joints are lubed is a great way to start off your experience with your car. Schedule an appointment with us.
• Find a good mechanic – You can ask around to see who knows a competent, trustworthy mechanic, or you can just bring your car to the trained, certified automotive professionals in our service center.
• Register the car – This is more paperwork we take care of, but that you will need to handle if your car was bought from a private seller.
• Transfer the title – We take care of this paperwork at Suburban Chevrolet, but you will need to take care of it yourself as soon as possible if you buy your car from a private seller.
• Get insurance – This is required by law, and you need to do it before you even drive the car off the lot.
