Four Things to Do After You Buy a Chevrolet Car

Once you’ve decided which Chevrolet car to buy and sorted your finances, you probably want to celebrate. However, there are a few things to take care of once you have your keys in hand before you drive off into the sunset. The Patriot Chevy Warminster team is here to guide you through those next steps.

Secure the Bill of Sale

You can’t leave the dealership without documentation showing you own your car. If you’re financing your vehicle, this proof comes from the bill of sale. The title will be sent to you by your lender when the loan is paid in full.

Make Insurance Arrangements

Pennsylvania requires specific amounts of liability, personal injury, and property damage insurance for every driver, and because you’re financing, we also suggest collision coverage. Before you leave, you should protect your investment (and your personal finances) by updating your policy. We also suggest GAP insurance for leased or financed cars; see your Chevy dealer for details.

Register Your Car

Your car will also come with a set of temporary plates that are valid for 30 days from the date of issue. Before they expire, you must visit the DMV and register your car. In addition to the bill of sale, you will need to bring your insurance details and identification.

Schedule a Service Appointment

While you’re probably not thinking about car maintenance with a new (or new to you) vehicle, this is something you don’t want to forget about. Consider making an appointment six months out for routine services like an oil change, tire rotation, and fluid top-off.
