Not all car dealerships have your best interests in mind when you’re shopping for a vehicle, especially if you have bad or no credit. In fact, it’s not unheard of to get turned away from buying a car just for having a not-so-perfect credit history.

That’s why dealerships like Car-N-Credit exist. We’re a one-stop shop for getting a vehicle that meets your needs and financing that fits your budget. And we don’t turn anyone away, regardless of their credit history.

If you’re in the market for a vehicle to get you to work, school, and anywhere else in between, we are happy to help.

The beauty of a buy here, pay here dealership is that they work with people with bad or little to no credit. Unlike regular dealerships that often have strict requirements for financing, a buy here, pay here dealership extends financing to people deemed “risky” by financial institutions.

The following basic tips from Car-N-Credit can save you a lot of headaches in the winter when your vehicle’s components get a lot of strain from weather and cold air:

Winter cold and summer heat put a lot of wear and tear on your battery, so it’s not uncommon for older batteries to not work their best during these seasons. Use an at-home battery tester or bring your car to a nearby auto parts store. Many of them will test your battery for free to indicate whether you [...]

If there are three constants in life, they are death, taxes, and the fact that it seems to be impossible to find consistently low-priced gas.

While gas prices aren’t at the record highs of 2012 they are trending up from the lows we saw in 2016 into a steady, wallet-destroying climb. The bad news is, there isn’t much we can do about fluctuating oil prices.

The good news is that we can give you some solid tips on how you can get the most mileage from your used car on each fill-up.

A regular vehicle maintenance routine can help you catch problems early on instead of paying more money to fix them when they’ve become a significant issue. Plus, regular maintenance can keep your vehicle in top shape, extend its life, and give you the confidence to perform basic updates and repairs yourself.

The more you know about your car and how everything works together, the better. Grab a calendar and write down these crucial maintenance tasks to take on:

Checking your oil and other fluids should become a part of a monthly car care routine. It only takes a few minutes, but those few minutes can translate into a lasting life for your vehicle.

Most vehicles now come with a monitor that tells you how much oil life you have left. It’s still a good idea to follow the recommendations in your owner’s manual. Most manufacturers recommend getting your oil changed every 3 [...]

College is a time for you to be getting out into the world and exploring it on your own, but it is hard to do that when you don’t have your own set of wheels. Getting those wheels while in college can be a bit of a challenge, however.

The average new car bought in the US costs a hefty $32,000 and a mid-range sedan will set you back $22,000, even without all the bells and whistles.

This means that, for most students, getting a new car is out of the question and buying a used car is more practical. Unless you are getting a lot of help from your family, you can also probably discount getting a shiny new sports car or SUV as well.

So, if you are setting out into higher education and you want a car to broaden your horizons, without breaking the bank, what are your options?

Buying a used car is the right choice for many, but warranties on used vehicles can be confusing. Unlike new cars, used cars usually don’t have as long of a protection period for things that might go wrong. Here’s what you need to know about the warranty on the used car you’re looking to purchase and how to best protect yourself and your investment.

The warranty you get for your used car depends on how old it is. If you’re buying a vehicle that’s only a year or two old, you may still have some of the original warranty left depending on your date of purchase, and you might be presented with the option to buy an extended warranty.

However, vehicles that are past the point of coverage under the original manufacturer’s warranty might have a different, not as extensive warranty placed on it by the manufacturer or [...]
