Fall Into Savings: Get Your Vehicle Ready for Cooler Weather with Chancey's

 

Fall has finally arrived in Augusta. The mornings are crisp, the days are getting shorter, and football Saturdays, hunting season, and holiday road trips are right around the corner. It's also the time of year when your car or truck starts telling you what it needs before winter sets in.

The good news? Getting your vehicle ready for cooler weather doesn't have to cost a fortune. At Chancey's Truck & Auto Salvage, we help drivers across the CSRA find quality used parts at a fraction of the price of new, so you can head into the season confident and keep more money in your pocket for the holidays.

Your Fall Vehicle Checklist

A long, hot Georgia summer is hard on a vehicle, and the first cool snap is often when worn parts finally give out. Before the temperatures really drop, take a look at these common trouble spots:

• Battery and starter. Summer heat wears batteries down, and cold mornings finish the job. If your engine is cranking slowly, now is the time to replace the battery, starter, or alternator, not when you're stuck in a parking lot.
• Headlights and taillights. With the sun setting earlier, you'll be driving in the dark more often. Cloudy headlight assemblies, cracked taillight housings, and broken mirrors are easy, affordable swaps with used parts.
• Heater and blower motor. Nobody wants to discover a broken heater on the first 40-degree morning. Blower motors, resistors, and heater control units are all parts we can help you track down.
• Wipers and windshield. Fall brings rain and falling leaves. Check your wiper motor and linkage, and replace a cracked windshield or wiper arm before visibility becomes a problem.
• Tires and wheels. Cooler air lowers tire pressure, and worn tires lose grip on wet leaves. A matching used wheel is a smart fix for a bent or damaged rim.
• Belts and hoses. Heat makes rubber brittle. Inspect them now so a cracked hose doesn't strand you on the way to Thanksgiving dinner.

Why Salvage Parts Make Sense This Season

Between holiday shopping, travel, and higher heating bills, fall is an expensive time of year. Used parts from a salvage yard can make a big difference.

• Real savings. Used parts typically cost far less than new parts from a dealer or auto parts store.
• Original manufacturer quality. Many of our parts come straight off the same make and model as yours, so they're built to fit and work the way your vehicle was designed.
• Good for the environment. Every part reused is one less part manufactured from scratch and one less piece of metal headed for a landfill. Salvage is recycling at its best.
• Parts for older vehicles. If your car or truck has a few years on it, a salvage yard is often the easiest place to find parts that are no longer stocked new.

Truck Season Is Here

In Georgia, fall means trucks get put to work. Whether you're heading to the deer stand, hauling firewood, setting up for a tailgate, or tackling yard cleanup, your truck needs to be ready.

Chancey's carries parts for the trucks our customers drive most, including Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Toyota, and Nissan. Tailgates, bumpers, mirrors, doors, wheels, and lights are all common fall fixes, and buying them used means you won't wince the next time a branch scrapes the side or a trailer hitch bumps the tailgate.

Fall Clean-Out: That Vehicle in the Yard

While you're raking leaves, take a look at that old car or truck that's been sitting in the driveway since spring. If it isn't worth repairing, it may be time to let it go. Give our salvage yard a call to talk about your options, and we can get it recycled the right way.

And if your vehicle breaks down this season, Chancey's Towing and Wrecker Service has you covered. From passenger cars to big rigs, our professional drivers serve Augusta and the surrounding areas, so one call gets you towed and connected with the parts you need to get back on the road.
