Chevy Car

When shopping for a pre-owned vehicle for your family, consider a used Chevy car. Buying a used Chevy vehicle is one of the best investment decisions a driver can make. Reliable, comfortable, and affordable, you can’t go wrong with a used Chevy car.

Not convinced? Vaughn Chevrolet Buick GMC of Ottumwa can break down the top reasons to buy a used Chevy vehicle.

● Affordability: By far the top reason drivers choose to buy a used Chevy car is the price. Generally, used vehicles are a much more affordable option for buying a vehicle, perfect for first-time drivers and those with smaller budgets. Plus, your budget can stretch even further when you shop from our used Chevy vehicles for sale.

 Reliability: One of the most common myths around used vehicles is that they are unreliable to drive. However, used Chevy cars are some of the most reliable and versatile vehicles on the market. If you want certified reliability, you can consider a certified pre-owned Chevy vehicle from our dealership.

● Variety: One benefit to buying a used Chevy car is the variety of choices you’re afforded. If you buy a new vehicle, you’re relegated to the recent releases; however, that’s not the case when you browse our used inventory. You can now choose from years of Chevy models to find the vehicle that best suits your wants and needs.

Not sure where to schedule an oil change for your Chevrolet vehicle? A quick search for “oil change near me” will lead you to our Chevrolet service center in Iowa. Learn all about the importance of regular oil changes for your Chevrolet Equinox and where to get them at Vaughn Chevrolet Buick GMC of Ottumwa.

Why Oil Changes are Essential

Regular oil changes are an essential part of maintaining your vehicle’s overall engine health and performance. Your engine depends on a fresh supply of oil to perform well, but over time, oil begins to accumulate grime and other build up.   

In turn, this can decrease your vehicle’s ability to maintain a proper temperature and stay lubricated. Replacing your oil on a regular basis is a surefire way to keep your vehicle running like new for a long time.  

Scheduling Oil Changes

Every vehicle has a different time frame for oil changes, considering different engine types, driving habits, and fuel consumption.

Common practice is to change the oil in your vehicle every 5,000 to 7,000 miles if you’re a frequent driver. If you’re not, then changing your oil every six months or so is a good rule of thumb.

To find out the specific oil change schedule for your vehicle, talk to our service experts near Ottumwa, IA. Our auto technicians will not only change your oil, but we’ll also help you schedule regular maintenance for your vehicle.

To help you when road conditions are not ideal, this SUV also offers an available all-wheel-drive system for increased confidence on the road.


2020 Chevy Equinox

If you’re looking for a slightly larger Chevy SUV that is also fuel-efficient, get behind the wheel of the 2020 Chevy Equinox. The base 1.5-liter turbo engine helps you earn an estimated 31 miles per gallon on the highway. Plus, the fuel-saving start/stop technology comes standard and further improves fuel efficiency on the road. The available all-wheel-drive system enhances traction and control on slippery and snow-covered roads, and for enhanced fuel efficiency, you can even switch back to front-wheel-drive to save fuel.

Chevy Navigation Screen

In recent years, more and more new Chevrolet cars have added Wi-Fi hotspots as either a standard or an optional feature. This is part of a larger trend to include all the latest in-cabin technology and connectivity features. There are more than a few Chevy cars with Wi-Fi, and here at Vaughn Chevrolet Buick GMC of Ottumwa, our dealers are happy to show them off.   

How In-Car Wi-Fi Works

Before talking about new Chevy cars that have Wi-Fi, it is important to understand how in-car Wi-Fi works, because it is such a new function. Chevrolet OnStar® with 4G LTE and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot provides an internet connection that is fast, reliable, and more powerful than a smartphone or mobile hotspot. With it, you can connect up to seven mobile devices at the same time so that your passengers can browse, post, game, and stream at 4G LTE speeds.

Wi-Fi uses the vehicle’s built-in antenna to provide a reliable signal up to 50 feet away from the vehicle. Because it is powered by your battery, the signal is always on when your car is on accessory modes.

Chevy Cars with Wi-Fi

There are a large amount of Chevy cars, trucks, and SUVs that have Wi-Fi. Here are some of our favorites:

  • 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500: This heavy-duty pickup truck has an available built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that allows you to stream movies, download games, and surf the web. 
  • 2020 Chevy Tahoe: This large family-friendly SUV also has an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.   
  • 2020 Chevy Corvette: In addition to being sporty and thrilling to drive, the convertible also has available Wi-Fi.   

Test drive these Chevy cars with Wi-Fi and more features right here at Vaughn Chevrolet Buick GMC of Ottumwa.  

service center

Here at Vaughn Chevrolet Buick GMC of Ottumwa, our goal as a dealership is to serve Ottumwa, IA drivers with a wide selection of reliable, fun-to-drive, and safe vehicles. In addition to providing drivers with the newest models from Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC, we also feature a wide selection of budget-friendly used cars. No matter what type of vehicle you’re shopping for, there’s a high probability that we will have it on our lot.

Used Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC Cars

The primary reason people choose to buy a used car rather than a new one is price. When you buy a new car, it can lose up to 20 percent of its value the moment you drive it off our lot. This cruel phenomenon is known as depreciation, and the worst depreciation occurs in the first few years of ownership. In fact, some cars lose up to half of their value in the first three or four years. By purchasing a used Chevy car that is only a few years old, you can get something reliable and low-mileage. And you’ll still have access to some of the same features that you would find on a new model. All this for just a fraction of the price.

Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles

If you’re looking for the highest-quality, lowest-mileage pre-owned Chevy vehicles, shop our Certified Pre-Owned Chevy inventory. Vehicles in this class are required to pass a rigorous 172-point inspection. CPO vehicles include bonuses such as roadside assistance, a Powertrain Limited Warranty, a Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty, courtesy transportation, a SiriusXM All-Access Package Trial, and a free Vehicle History Report.

To shop our pre-owned car selection, head into Vaughn Chevrolet Buick GMC today.
