Solve AC Problems in Used Trucks This Summer

When you're driving a used truck during an Omaha summer, a working air conditioning system makes a huge difference. Between long drives, stop-and-go traffic, and outdoor work, having cool air blowing through your vents is more about comfort than luxury. But as trucks age, some AC components don't handle the heat as well as they used to. That's why it helps to understand what kind of problems tend to pop up in used vehicles once the temperature climbs.

Spot Power Steering Issues in Your Used SUV

When you're driving through Omaha during a hot July afternoon, the last thing you want is your steering wheel becoming harder to turn or making strange noises. Your SUV's power steering system takes the effort out of steering so you can stay in control, especially while parking or handling tight corners. But like any other component under the hood, it doesn't last forever. Ignoring early signs of trouble may leave you stuck with expensive repairs or worse, in an unsafe situation.

Understanding Vehicle History Reports

Buying a used car feels like a big leap, especially when you're not sure what that car has been through. While a walk-around and test drive can tell you plenty about how a vehicle looks and feels, they don't reveal everything. That's where a vehicle history report makes a difference. It's like the backstory of the car, giving you a clearer view of what you might be getting into.

Do used vehicles come with a lifetime warranty at Schrier Automotive in Omaha, NE?

One of the big questions when purchasing a used vehicle is what kind of warranty it will have.

Well, at our dealership here in Omaha, Nebraska, you won't just get a warranty... you'll get a lifetime warranty!

Where to Find Used Crossovers & SUVs in Omaha, NE

It offers the utility of a traditional SUV but instead of being built on a truck platform like those models, they're instead built on a sedan platform, so they also offer many of the benefits you get from small cars. If you're in the market for a used crossover or SUV of your own here in Omaha, Nebraska, then you might be wondering where to find them. The answer is right here at Schrier Automotive!

What kinds of used vehicles can you get for less than $20k?

One of the main reasons people shop for used vehicles over new ones is price, but even used vehicles can get pricey depending on certain factors. For example, the less used a vehicle is, the less it's marked down from its original price. So, if you're currently looking at a used 2024 model with less than 10k miles on the odometer, there's a pretty good chance it'd only be a few thousand dollars off from its original base MSRP. But the older a vehicle is or the more mileage it has on it, the more affordable it becomes. And there's nothing wrong with older vehicles, other than maybe not having some of the newer bells and whistles. A great price point to try to search under is $20k, so if that's where your budget resides you should read on as we're going to highlight what kinds of used vehicles you can get for less than that.
