What Does MSRP Mean?

What is MSRP
You’ve probably scrolled through multiple sites while browsing the web for a new vehicle and came across that same acronym underneath an asterisk: “*Price shown is based on MSRP”. Isn’t it funny how you always come across it while looking for financing options on a vehicle, or when you build and price it on the dealership’s website? Well there’s a good reason why it always gets brought up and it’s not just there as a legal disclaimer to protect the dealership—it’s also there for you, the customer! Read along and you’ll see why it’s important to familiarize yourself with MSRP. Read More

Service Tip Tuesday: Keep your tires in good condition

tire maintenance tips
Tire maintenance tips Fortunately, your tires are one of the easiest parts of your vehicle to maintain. So long as you keep up on the routine maintenance of your tires, things should run smoothly and your commute should be a breeze, at least where your wheels are concerned. However, because they are so easy to maintain, your tires are often overlooked until there is an issue. It also doesn’t help that a brand-new tire isn’t necessarily inexpensive, especially depending on what make and model of a vehicle you have. As a part of our effort to keep all of our readers informed and entertained, you may have noticed we started a few regular topics such as How-To Thursday. We also are going to be starting Service Tip Tuesday. For this Service Tip Tuesday, we will be covering tire maintenance tips to make your lives easier. Read More

Why four-wheel drive is beneficial

Why should I get four-wheel drive
Why should I get four-wheel drive Anyone in the market for a new vehicle, especially an SUV, especially in Edmonton, has most likely thought about why should I get four-wheel drive. Let me tell you, there is one thing you don’t want to be caught without in an Edmonton winter: four-wheel drive. Even if you’re an Edmonton native, the weather here is so unpredictable and unreliable, you never ever know what you’re going to get. Winters are especially brutal because of the cold weather, ice, snow and wind. It doesn’t help, either, with all of the lakes in our great country that produce wind and more cold. Read More

2014 Edmonton Firework Laws

Have you seen your CarFax? It may be surprising to see what is all on there.

What is on a CarFax
What is on a CarFax If you’re purchasing a pre-owned, or new-to-you as we like to say, vehicle it’s always a good idea to ask to see the CarFax. A CarFax report is an official report that states everything the vehicle has been through, such as flooding or hail damage, any maintenance repairs it’s seen, such as a transmission replacement, and how many miles the vehicle officially has. While this may seem like trivial information at the time of purchase, especially when you’re mostly concerned about the price of the vehicle, taking the once-over of a CarFax, or at least knowing what is on a CarFax, may help you avoid what we in the car industry call a lemon.

Don’t get stuck locked out of your vehicle

How to get into a locked vehicle
How to get into a locked vehicle While we understand this post may on its surface seem like we’re promoting grand theft auto, we’re really not. We understand that sometimes unexpected occurrences take place, like locking yourself out of your vehicle. (We just hope it’s not running!) More and more vehicles are becoming technologically advanced to the point where this type of incident is easily avoidable, for example, by offering doors that don’t lock unless the key is outside of the vehicle, but we understand that not everyone has caught up with these advanced features quite yet. For those reasons, we thought it’d be helpful to come up with a few tips on how to get into a locked vehicle. To reiterate, we don’t promote or condone auto theft, these tips are simply for someone who has locked him or herself out of their vehicle. Read More

Top 5 summer car care tips
Top 5 summer car care tips Transitioning from the harsh Edmonton winters to balmy Edmonton summers requires a lot of preparation not only physically but mentally. Whether it’s shedding a few pounds to look good in a swimsuit or unboarding the windows, it’s a process to get ready for the warmer weather. One often overlooked part of preparing for the summer is getting your vehicle ready. As your car care experts, the staff at Great West Chrysler wanted to make sure you have all of the information you need to get your vehicle ready for summer, so we came up with a list of the top 5 summer car care tips. 1. Check your tires Your tires and brakes are two of the most essential pieces of your vehicle, besides the engine of course.

Check tread depth and pressure as well. Read More
