Getting a wheel alignment at your Chevy dealer when needed helps your tires last a long time, and it makes driving and lot easier. When your wheels are misaligned, you'll deal with issues such as excess steering wheel vibrations, difficult handling, and premature tire wear. None of this is pleasant, and it all makes driving less safe, too. Why Is It Important to Get Your Wheels Aligned? Getting your wheels aligned is important because your car's handling can suffer when your car is out of alignment. Plus, misaligned wheels contribute to premature tire wear. When your car is easy to handle, it's a lot safer. Having tires that have worn down correctly is safer you, too, so never skip alignment appointments. How Frequently Do You Need a Wheel Alignment From Your Chevy Dealer? It's important that you get your wheels aligned at least once a year, although stopping by the dealer for an alignment twice a year is even better. If at any time you notice that your steering wheel is off center, your car is drifting or pulling to one side, or your tires have worn down unevenly, you should visit the dealer in case your car is out of alignment. The Benefits of Getting Your Wheels Aligned Better Handling It's a whole lot harder to handle your car when your wheels aren't aligned. To drive straight, you need to hold your steering wheel at a strange angle, usually off to one side. The more out of alignment your car gets, the more effort you need to put into adjusting your steering. It's distracting, uncomfortable, and not very safe. Better Ride Comfort It's not just more comfortable to drive when you don't have to adjust your steering angle; it's more comfortable to drive when your wheels are aligned because of your tires, too. Alignments help your tires wear down evenly, so you won't have to deal with excessive tire vibration. When your car is aligned, you'll also notice less vibration in your steering wheel. Better Fuel Efficiency When there's pretty much anything wrong with your car, it's going to use more fuel and leave you stopping for gas way more often than usual. Because your tires wear down unevenly when your car is out of alignment, the car has to work harder and is under more pressure during every ride. So, to compensate, it guzzles gas to help itself work harder. Better Tire Lifespan When your tires wear down unevenly, parts of them stop being road-safe much sooner than others. So, you end up buying a new set more often than you'd need to if your wheels were aligned. When the tires wear down evenly, they last longer, saving you money. Come down to Ted Britt Chevrolet in Stirling, VA for an alignment to avoid the issues that misalignment can bring. You can schedule your next service appointment online today.

The choice of whether to buy or lease your next car is a big one. It's important to find the right fit so that when you get to the Chevy dealer, you're prepared. The Upsides and Downsides of Buying Ownership Once you've paid off the loan, your new Chevy belongs to you, no strings attached. There are no mileage limits, so you can drive as far as you want. Plus, you can personalize, customize, paint, or accessorize the car however you want. Long-Term Savings Buying a car can save you money in the long run. After you've paid off your loan, you can say goodbye to monthly payments. Plus, you have equity in your car. If you choose to sell it, you could get some of the money you paid into it back. Higher Costs Upfront On the other hand, buying can be more expensive at first. You'll have to have a higher down payment, cover taxes, and pay any fees from the sale. Your monthly payment will usually be higher than leasing the same car, too. Depreciation and Maintenance The two biggest downsides of buying your car are depreciation and maintenance. Cars lose their value over time, and the sharpest drop is in the first few years. Over time, your car's value should stabilize, but until then, you could owe more on your loan than the vehicle is worth. The Upsides and Downsides of Leasing Lower Costs One of the biggest benefits of leasing is how cheap it is compared to buying a new car. Your monthly payments should be lower, and your car is always under warranty, which means you won't have to shell out for major repairs. No Ownership Of course, at the end of your lease, you don't own the car. In fact, unless you decide to buy it, you'll have to return it, with nothing to show for all the payments you've made. Charges for Mileage and Condition Leases usually come with mileage caps that limit how far you can drive each year. If you drive too far, you'll be paying extra. That's also true if you return your leased car with more damage than could be considered 'normal wear and tear.' If you haven't taken great care of your leased car, you could face quite a few extra charges when you turn it in. Should You Buy or Lease at the Chevy Dealer? No one can decide which choice is better except you. Think about how you usually drive, your finances, and how long you plan to keep your car. It's all about what works best for you! Whether you decide to purchase a car or lease one, a new Chevrolet is an excellent choice. Visit Ted Britt Chevrolet in Sterling, VA, to browse our inventory.

Unique Features Engine Powering this impressive machine is a 6.2-liter V8 DI engine that delivers 495 mph and 470 pound-feet of torque. So passengers get to experience the full wonder of the naturally aspirated V8, Chevrolet has positioned it behind the driver. This also has the added benefit of delivering more power to the rear wheels. Transmission Paired with the V8 is an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Drivers can use the paddles mounted on the steering wheel to manually upshift and downshift. These quick shifts give the Stingray the handling of a manual with the smoothness and speed of an automatic, ensuring it handles as well around narrow streets as it does on the open road. Driving Modes Standard on all Stingray models is a Driver Mode Selector, with preset modes including Weather, Sport, Track, and Tour. Driver Assist Features Automatic emergency braking, pedestrian and bicyclist detection, lane-keeping assist, and auto high-beam headlights are just a few of the standouts that help with rider safety. The 1LT is equipped with a rear vision camera, while the 2LT and 3LT come with both front and rear cameras. Storage With the engine mounted behind the driver, the Corvette Stingray has storage under the hood and in the trunk. These spaces are surprisingly roomy for a sports car and large enough to handle a couple of grocery bags in the front and two golf bags at the rear. These are just some of the many things to love about this impressive sports car. To find out more, head down to Ted Britt Chevrolet today, and let our team show you the rest.
