4 Benefits of Getting Financing Through Your Local Dealer

While many experts will tell you to seek a loan from outside a dealership before you go in, getting car financing through your local dealership can often be the best way to get an auto loan for many people. For one thing it’s absolutely a convenient way to go. Beyond that, however, it's financially smart for a wide array of reasons. Let's take a closer look at four benefits of getting car financing through your local dealer to help you make your decision about where to seek financing. more 1. It's Financially Smart for Everyone People with bad credit and people with excellent credit alike can both benefit from dealership financing. If your credit is poor, then it may be difficult to qualify for a loan elsewhere. Banks and other creditors often disqualify you for loans when your credit isn’t shiny. Dealers, on the other hand, regularly offer loans to people with poor credit, so you're not out of luck when seeking financing for your next car. The benefit for people with excellent credit comes when dealerships run special promotions. Sometimes you'll find that your local dealership is offering 0% APR loans, or loans with very low interest rates, on certain car models. To qualify for these, you need to have fantastic credit. If you qualify, then the savings can be very significant. 2. It's Incredibly Convenient The convenience of getting a car through your dealer is unmatched, as you pretty much only need to make one trip. Dealerships offer a huge range of services, so you can do everything involved with buying a new car at the dealership. Need to get your old car out of your hands? You can trade it in. Need to shop around to figure out what model you want to buy? There's a huge range of cars at our dealership that you can look at. Need financing? You can apply online before you even come to the dealership. 3. It's Quick If you're looking for a loan, it's wise to get multiple offers. To get multiple offers while financing your bank or credit union, you have to fill out numerous online applications or even go to different bank/credit union branches in person to fill out a bunch of paperwork. With the dealer, all of this is streamlined, as you fill out a single application that gets sent to multiple lenders. Plus, you typically hear back from dealers very quickly about whether or not you've been approved. 4. It's Easy to Buy a Used Car If you're looking for a used vehicle, then getting a loan through a bank or credit union might not be so simple. Sometimes banks and credit unions require you to pick a car that's under a certain age or hasn't driven over a certain number of miles. However, when you finance through the dealership, then age and mileage are far less likely to prevent you from getting financing. Visit Auffenberg Dealer Group in Shiloh, IL to talk about financing today. You can also apply for financing through our website.

Is Your Car Due for an Oil Change?

Most people know it's important to change their engine oil regularly, but many people don't know how often the oil should be changed. Once upon a time the common wisdom was every 3,000 miles but those days are long gone. Still many “quick change” oil places and independent garages still stick to that concept, which leads to you spending money you don’t need to spend. If you're not sure whether you should bring your car in to your local dealer in Shiloh, IL, for an oil change, read on. more Is Your Car Due for an Oil Change at Your Local Shiloh Dealer? As a general rule, you should have your engine oil replaced every 6,000 miles. However, if you don't drive your car much, you should come in at least twice a year to have your oil replaced. In addition, if you see the oil light (which looks like an oil can) on your dash light up, get in for service quickly. It could mean you need an oil change, or that you have a bigger problem with the system. Having your oil changed regularly is vital to your car’s health. One of the biggest dangers to cars over time is dirty oil. As it runs, your engine oil picks up dirt and other debris as part of its job lubricating the engine. This, however, results in a sludge-like consistency which does not effectively lubricate your engine, and it can cause a wide range of problems. When Is More Frequent Service Required? While many people can go 6,000 miles between oil replacements, there are some cases that demand more frequent service. For example, if you rarely drive over five miles, you should have your engine oil replaced more frequently. You also should come in for service sooner if most of your driving occurs in stop-and-go traffic. You also should schedule an appointment now if your oil level is low. If you notice a leak or check your oil and it is low, it can be an indicator of other issues that you should quickly get diagnosed and fixed. What Are the Benefits of Changing Your Oil? One of the most compelling benefits of changing your oil regularly is that boosts your fuel economy. When debris isn't circulating through your engine, it can operate efficiently. This leads to better gas mileage, saving you precious time at the pump. Getting new engine oil regularly is also beneficial in that it protects your engine. The dirtier your oil is, the more your engine is exposed to sludge build-up, friction, and excessive wear and tear. Keeping your oil fresh can delay expensive engine issues that require major repairs. It can also help ensure your motor will take you where you need to go for hundreds of thousands of miles. You also should have your oil replaced regularly because clean oil helps keep your engine cool. Excessive friction caused by dirty oil circulating can result in your engine overheating. If exposed to prolonged excessive heat, your engine can become irreparably damaged. Your owners’ manual should have guidelines for how often your oil needs to be changed. Otherwise, if your oil is in good condition, you should bring it in every six months or 6,000 miles. If you can't remember the last time your engine oil was replaced, drop us a line now at Auffenberg Dealer Group in Shiloh, IL.

Recognizing When It's Time for Transmission Service

Recognizing when the transmission is in disrepair is vital for any car owner who wants to stop minor transmission issues from becoming major ones. Knowing when to stop by the Jeep dealer for regular transmission service is also important, as regular service helps you catch small transmission issues before they start affecting how your car functions, or even prevent transmission issues altogether. more How Often Should You Get Maintenance on Your Transmission? How often you need to get your transmission checked out varies depending on your car's age, make, model, and other factors. As a general rule, however, you should at least start considering getting the transmission looked at once you've driven 30,000 miles. Some cars can go longer between checkups on the transmission, but it's best to get the transmission checked out sooner rather than later. Waiting too long before getting service can be damaging to your Jeep. When problems start showing up, then you know it's time for your transmission to get a checkup. Signs You Need Transmission Service: Gear Slipping or Failure When your transmission isn't in the best shape, you may have lots of different issues with your gears. You may have a lot of trouble switching between gears, or your gears might not switch at all. You might also notice your car slipping out of gear while you're driving, and that can be very dangerous. When your car slips out of gears during acceleration, it's annoying, and your car's performance feels sluggish. However, when your car slips out of gear during deceleration, it can be very dangerous, as your car may not slow down enough to keep you safe. You Hear Noises While Your Car Is in Neutral Your transmission system shouldn't make much noise under any circumstances when it's in good condition. However, if there are unusual noises occurring while you're in neutral, or even when you're shifting gears, then it can point to issues with the transmission system. Sometimes the problem won't be that serious, and the only thing wrong is that you need some more transmission fluid (though this unto itself can be an indicator of more serious issues such as a leak). However, noises can also indicate major issues, such as a broken solenoid. You Feel Your Car Kick and Shake When you change gears, your car shouldn't do anything major. You should feel the car accelerate or decelerate normally and smoothly. However, a transmission that's in disrepair may make the car shake and kick while you're switching gears. If you drive a car with a manual transmission, then you may notice a grinding while you're shifting from one gear to the next. Is it time to get your transmission checked out? Swing by Auffenberg Dealer Group in Shiloh, IL so our technicians can take a look.

6 Signs of a Faulty Ignition Coil

Your ignition coil is an important electrical component that helps to convert the low-voltage current from your car battery into the spark that will ignite fuel running through your engine. When there's something wrong with an ignition coil, you'll notice a world of problems with your vehicle, including the inability to start your car. Learn some warning signs that your ignition coil might be going bad, and what to do to get it fixed. more 1. Signs of a Faulty Ignition Coil: Check Engine Light The check engine light can switch on for a myriad of reasons, including problems with your ignition coils. Head to the dealer for an engine diagnostic when this light comes on, as you may start experiencing performance issues with your car without a prompt repair. 2. The Engine Starts Misfiring When an engine misfires, the car feels like it's jerking or sputtering when you're driving normally. The car might shake or feel like it's running roughly when you stop with a misfiring engine. 3. The Engine Won't Start Normally It may take a few attempts for you to get the engine started when you have a broken ignition coil. You may also notice that your engine starts, but the car feels jerky during start-up. The difficulty starting is caused by the spark plug not receiving the right voltage to create a spark and start the engine. If you drive a car that only has one ignition coil, then you may not be able to get your car started at all if this coil is broken. 4. The Engine Guzzles Gas When you have a broken ignition coil, your engine struggles to perform at its normal capacity. To try to remedy this, it consumes more fuel. This reduces your gas mileage. When your car guzzles gas, it can lead to your spark plugs sustaining some damage, and that can cause further performance issues with the vehicle. 5. The Car Doesn't Perform Well There are several other performance-related issues that can crop up when you have a bad ignition coil. These are generally quite noticeable. Your car might stall, for example, or you may feel as though the vehicle can't accelerate as quickly as it usually does. Overall, your car's performance could be described as sluggish. 6. The Car Backfires When your car doesn't burn up all the fuel it attempts to use, the fuel can travel through your exhaust system and detonate. This is known as your engine backfiring. When it happens, you'll hear a popping sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. This backfiring is caused by your engine trying and failing to burn more fuel. If you notice any of these signs it’s imperative to get the issue diagnosed and fixed quickly. Come to Auffenberg Dealer Group in Shiloh, IL to replace any faulty parts of your car. Stop by for regular maintenance, too, to try to prevent issues with the ignition coils and other parts of your car.
