Check out our incredible available inventory and schedule a test drive at Bennington Chevrolet today!
Your New Car Purchasing Checklist:
Your Driver’s License
- May seem obvious, but still needs to be addressed. The dealership needs to be sure you’re legally licensed to operate a vehicle before you get behind the wheel. Plus, you’ll need proof of residence for a car loan too.
Proof Of Insurance
- Insurance is required in most states and it’s more than likely that the dealership you’re purchasing from will require proof of insurance. Save some time by contacting your insurance company beforehand!
A Valid Form Of Payment
- It’s always a good idea to contact the dealership’s finance department to see what type of payment options they accept and what types of financial documents they may require. Oh and be sure to ask about pre-approved financing options!
Recent Pay Stubs And Utility Bills
- Bringing a couple of your most recent paystubs will make it much easier to get a car loan through the dealership if need be. A copy of your last utility bill with your account number on it will help prove residency if the address on your license does not match your current residency.
Credit Score And History
- While the dealership will be able to pull up your credit score and history, you should be aware of your score and have your own proof on hand just in case.
Discount Information
- Check with your Credit Card Company, the Dealership, or the manufacturer for any discounts that may be applicable to your purchase and have them ready to present at the dealership. You don’t want to miss out on a deal!

Spring has sprung and April showers bring May flowers… and tons and tons of pollen. If your nose has been running and your eyes have been watering you may be desperate for an Oasis away from all the Springtime allergens. Well, don’t worry! Bennington Chevy has got your back! Listed below are our tips for allergy-proofing your vehicle! If you’re lacking the time or tools to try out these tips for yourself, schedule a service appointment with the Chevy service team and leave it to the professionals!
Bennington Chevy Tips For Allergy-Proofing Your Ride:
Clean It (Inside & Out)
- Getting in and out of your vehicle means it’s near impossible not to accumulate dirt, grime, and dust that’ll make your allergies worse over the course of the season. We recommend starting by wiping down your dashboard, seating, and vents as often as possible with a damp microfiber cloth and a solution with no irritants/ harsh chemicals. Next, vacuum your carpeting and be sure to clean and let your floor mats dry completely. Also, be sure to frequently stop by the car wash to clean off the exterior of your vehicle.
Contain It
- Oftentimes your clothing and shoes are the way allergens make their way into your vehicle. While we can’t avoid this completely, it’s a smart idea to remove the articles of clothing that have come in contact with those allergens if possible. Try storing them in a separate area and keep them confined. Using a plastic bin in your trunk can work great for this. Be sure to keep your windows closed during peak pollen times to keep allergens out. And go the extra mile to ensure that your weather stripping in intact and every window/ door shuts properly so allergens can’t creep in.
Replace It
- If you can’t remember the last time you changed your air filters, the perfect time is now. It’s also a good idea to have them checked at the end of the pollen season to ensure they are still in proper condition and that they have not deteriorated over the season. All-weather floor mats are a great way to cut back on the number of allergens that make your carpeting their home and consider investing in some good seat covers. Lastly, stay away from air fresheners or cleaners that have harsh chemicals that could cause nasal irritation.

Can you remember the last time you changed out your tires? Or even checked your treads? Well spring is right around the corner and that means rainy roads, dramatic temperature changes, and all sorts of other hazardous road conditions. If your tire’s treads are worse for wear, then you’re driving with little to no grip! To keep you safe on the road ahead, Bennington Chevy has put together three easy ways of checking your tread depth using spare change! Check out our tips below and be sure to schedule your service appointment for your tire change at Bennington Chevy today!
Bennington Chevy’s Tire Tread Tips:
The Penny Test:
- Insert a penny into the tread groove with Lincoln’s head facing upside down and toward you. Once the penny is inserted, if you can see the entire head, your tread depth is less than 2/32” and that means your tire is too bald and unsafe to drive on.
The Quarter Test:
- Just like with the penny test, place the quarter upside down into the tread groove with Washington’s head facing toward you. If the tread reaches Washington’s head, you have at least 4/32” of tread remaining, meaning your tire is still in good shape!
Tread Wear Indicator
- Don’t have any coins laying around? Take a look at your tread wear indicator bar that is molded onto the tread of your tires. These bars are found at the bottom of the tread grooves in multiple spots. When these bars are visibly flush with the adjacent ribs, your tire has no more than 2/32” of tread left. This is a visible indication that you need new tires for your vehicle!

Are Your Wipers Wiped Out? | Bennington, VT
When people think of vehicle maintenance, most tend to get anxious and picture the tangle of mechanisms under the hood. But, what if we told you that one of the biggest pieces of equipment that you need to keep an eye on when it comes to your ride is your windshield wipers? Not so intimidating now is it? While easily replaced, wipers are essential to your everyday drive, so to help stay on top or your car care we’ve compiled a list of warning signs your wipers may be wiped out and some tips on how to improve their longevity! Take a look at our tips below, and if your ride is in need of some more serious maintenance, be sure to schedule your service appointment at the Bennington Chevy Service Center today!
Warning signs that indicate it’s time to replace those wipers!
- Streaking occurs when the rubber squeegee dries, hardens and cracks. It can also be caused by tree sap, road tar and other foreign substances collected on either the glass or the blade.
- Skipping occurs when the blade develops a curvature from lack of use (e.g. left in the ‘parked position’ for an extended length of time).
- Wearing occurs with extensive use and is when the rubber edges are rounded instead of squared.
- Splitting is caused when the sun’s ultraviolet rays penetrate the rubber squeegee, causing it to break down and separate from the frame.
- Bent Refill Vertebra and Bent Frames cause inconsistent contact with the glass surface, creating streaking or skipping.
Some tips for making sure your wipers stay in great shape!
- Clean your windshield every time you fill your gas tank.
- Gently wipe the rubber squeegee with a damp paper towel to remove any loose dirt or oil.
- Never use your windshield wipers to de-ice your windshield. Instead, either use an ice scraper or use your defroster to melt snow and ice.
- Pull your wiper blades away from the windshield during winter months to prevent ice build up on the rubber squeegee and to prevent them from sticking to the windshield.
