leasing vs. buying a car - what's right for you?When it comes to buying or leasing a car, many people are confused by the options.

As part of our goal to make this blog helpful to all of our customers and potential customers, we’re going to run through the benefits and drawbacks of each option so you’ll more fully understand the possibilities.

The Benefits of Buying

5 tips to save money on gasolineWith the national average sitting at just under $4 for a gallon of gasoline, many Americans are looking for any and every opportunity to save money at the gas pump. Economists are claiming that $4 a gallon gasoline won’t negatively effect the economy, and it’s not THAT much more expensive than what we’ve been paying recently – but $4 seems like such a big number that drivers are doing anything they can do to save.

While we’d all love to just go out and buy the latest hyrid or even an electric car, that’s not a feasible solution for most drivers.

Do It Yourself Car Maintenance Tips from Mears Mazda VolvoIf you’ve got a great collection of tools and tons of experience working on cars, do-it-yourself maintenance is second nature. You don’t have to be an expert to take care of your car, though -it’s easy to learn how to check the various systems of your car to perform troubleshooting basics and diagnose car problems. Mears Mazda Volvo has an excellent service department that can handle any of your vehicle service needs, but we understand that many people like to handle the simple things themselves. We’ll even help you – just ask any of our service technicians to show you what’s what under the hood and they’ll walk you through several simple maintenance tips.

Since many car problems can be prevented by good routine maintenance, checking under the hood is an essential component to the health and well-being of your vehicle. Unfortunately, most drivers ignore a regular maintenance schedule and don’t even think about the “insides” of their car until a dashboard warning light starts to flash on the dashboard.

Welcome to our very first blog post! As part of our recent website update, we’re adding this blog and we’re jumping into social media with both feet. The car business is a “people business”, so we’re embracing social media in order to better connect with our customers and friends. Of course, our website will always be the main source of information on our inventory and our dealership – but we’ve added this blog to provide a more personal connection.

We’ll be posting do-it-yourself maintenance tips, vehicle updates, service specials, and more. Basically, this will be our own little corner of the web, specifically dedicated to helping our customers get the best experience they can get from whatever they’ve bought from us. Whether you’ve just driven off in a brand new Volvo or Mazda or you picked up a great used car, we’re going to post information to help you keep it running in top condition for years to come.

We’ll even post information for potential buyers. Many customers always wonder if it’s better to lease or buy, so we’ll be covering that subject in depth. We’ll also cover the benefits of driving a certified pre-owned vehicle. We want this blog to be a destination for pre-owned buyers as well – so if you’re looking for used cars in Lubbock, this blog will be a huge help – we’ll cover the benefits of buying used, extended warranty options, and tips for keeping your “new old” vehicle in tip-top shape.

Get the idea yet? We’re going to be posting tons of useful information, so make sure you either bookmark us or add us to your reader. You’ll definitely want to check back often. For those of you who don’t use RSS readers, we’ll also be posting links to blog posts on our Facebook and Twitter pages. We also post tons of fun stuff on both of those sites, so follow us and join in the laughs.

Most importantly, we want you to join in the conversation! If you’ve got something to say about any of our posts, leave us a comment. In fact, leave us a comment now, and let us know what subject you’d like us to post about next! We’re here for you, so let us know!
