Choosing a make, model, trim, or color may be the first thing to come to mind when buying a new car. However, there are a few other things to consider, such as how you plan to pay for your purchase. And if you plan to finance the cost of your vehicle, obtaining car financing directly through your Chevy dealer offers some impressive advantages. Read on to discover a few benefits of letting Jennings Chevrolet's finance department do all the work. Competitive Rates and Incentives When purchasing a new vehicle, most buyers want the car they love at a fair price. And a fantastic way to save a bit of money on your new car purchase may be by taking advantage of dealer incentives. If you choose to finance through your dealer's finance department, you have access to multiple lenders, competitive interest rates, and incentives-such as cashback-that can help you save on your purchase. more Convenience The car buying process can seem a bit overwhelming at times. It can also be aggravating if you have to find time to submit loan applications to multiple banks and lenders while trying to find the best rates and loan options for your purchase. So why not let your dealer handle most of this for you? Your dealer's finance department offers the convenience of doing the legwork for you. They send your information to multiple lenders, work to get your loan approved and look for the best rates to make your experience as easy and quick as possible. Grow Your Credit Score Having a low credit score or no credit can be a challenge when trying to make large purchases or obtain credit. However, financing a new car purchase can be a great way to help grow your credit score. Your dealer's finance department can work with you to find the best financing options for your unique situation and help get your loan approved so you can purchase the vehicle you want. And, making your loan payments on time helps to build your credit, as well as build healthy financial habits. Longer Loan Terms If you are looking for longer loan terms that allow for lower monthly payments, then your dealership may be able to help. Dealerships tend to have lenders who offer flexible loan options, such as 72 months, that may be harder to find with a traditional lender. Choosing longer loan terms allows you to have lower monthly payments that may better fit your budget. However, shorter loan terms are available for those looking to pay their purchase off faster. By working directly with your dealer's finance department, they can help you find the loan that best fits your needs. Purchasing a new vehicle can be quite an exciting experience, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. Our team works hard to make your car buying experience as simple and enjoyable as possible.

Every electrical component in your Chevy is important, but your alternator may be the most important. When it falls into disrepair, you may notice annoying signs, like a failing radio. However, it is also possible to have serious problems, such as a motor that will no longer turn over. Today, we're looking at three signs your Chevy needs an alternator repair at your Glenview, IL Chevy dealer. 1. You Have Trouble Starting Your Car One of the clearest signs that your alternator needs to be repaired is difficulty starting your car. Your alternator is responsible for charging your battery while you drive. Your battery is responsible for igniting the spark coil that acts as a transformer and starts the combustion process so your motor can turn over. When your battery isn't charged fully when you drive, it may not have enough volts to start the ignition process. If your battery is fewer than three years old, there is a very good chance that it is still holding a charge as it should. It just isn't getting enough power from your alternator while you drive. more 2. You Have Problems With Your Radio If you notice that your radio cuts off randomly while you drive, there is a very good chance that your alternator needs to be fixed. Your alternator is responsible for delivering power to all of the electrical components in your vehicle. When it isn't operating at 13 volts or more, it may not have enough power to distribute to all of your electronics. It will prioritize sending power to your motor and transmission. However, if it doesn't have enough power, your accessories will suffer. For example, your radio may cut off while you drive, and it may not come back on before you make it to your destination. Other accessories that commonly have problems when an alternator is dying include heated seats, power windows, and charging outlets. 3. You Have Problems With Your Headlights Another clear sign that your alternator needs to be repaired is headlights that are acting funny. Remember, your alternator is responsible for power distribution. If your alternator is operating at fewer than 13 volts, your headlights may be dim despite clean lenses and relatively new light bulbs, wires, and spark plugs. If your alternator is operating at over 14.5 volts, your headlights may be very bright, even if you are only trying to operate your daytime running lights or headlights. This is a serious problem because excessively bright headlights can blind oncoming traffic or the vehicle in front of you. Finally, you may notice flickering headlights when you have a faulty alternator. There are many signs that you have a failing alternator, including difficulty starting your car, problems with your radio, and headlights that are acting funny. If you've noticed any of these signs that your alternator is dying, don't let the problem get any worse. Schedule a service appointment at Jennings Chevrolet on Waukegan Rd today.
