Are you worried that your teen’s car isn’t up to their after-graduation demands? Whether they’ll be working more, going away to college, or traveling, a used Chevy can be the perfect upgrade. At Carroll Chevrolet, we’re highlighting a few of our top picks.

Chevy Malibu

A sensible sedan like the Chevy Malibu can be the perfect vehicle for a high school grad. The midsize car is equipped with many safety and security features, so you can rest assured that your teen is safe on the road. Plus, by choosing a pre-owned model, you can save on the vehicle’s cost and at the gas station due to its impressive fuel efficiency.

Chevy Spark

While the Chevy Spark was discontinued in 2022, plenty of quality pre-owned models are still available, due to Chevrolet vehicles’ quality and durability. The compact hatchback has a one-of-a-kind look that your teen will love, as well as a versatile cabin that’s easily accessed with its convenient hatch. Even with its compact style, you can carry up to 27.2 cubic feet of cargo inside.

Chevy Trax

For even more space, consider the Chevy Trax. While it provides comfortable space for up to five, the compact SUV is still remarkably agile and efficient due to its size. When your teen prefers, the rear seat can easily fold flat, leaving room for up to 54.1 cubic feet of luggage, equipment, or even that mini fridge they wanted for their new dorm room.

There has certainly been a lot of excitement surrounding the Chevy Equinox EV. Are you wondering whether it has lived up to the hype? At Carroll Chevrolet, we’re taking a look at this innovative model’s reviews and critical reception.

Great Behind the Wheel

The Chevy Equinox EV has proved itself on the streets, according to Ron Sessions at J.D. Power, who has over 40 years of experience evaluating vehicles. Sessions “appreciated the Equinox EV’s trim size and good outward visibility while maneuvering through narrow streets and traffic.” He also claimed the SUV “felt secure and stable at speed on the better-maintained freeways.”

Notable Range

The EV also earned kudos for its range and cost. In fact, with a 319-mile range, it is America’s most affordable EV with an EPA-estimated range of over 315 miles. Carlos Lago, the Video Deputy Editor at Car and Driver, says the Chevrolet Equinox EV “appears to be the kind of electric vehicle most people want: a right-size SUV that fits the needs of a small family while delivering a lot of range for not a lot of money.”

Appeals to Many Consumers

Its competitive price also makes it an excellent option for so many consumers. Clint Simone, a senior reviews editor at Edmunds, calls it “a big moment for Chevy’s electric vehicles.” He credits the SUV’s roomy cabin, latest technology features, and impressive range. He also says, “This SUV should bring the brand’s electric offerings to a much broader range of customers who want a good car at a not-crazy price.”

Do you have a Chevy repair coming up and wonder what went wrong? Even routine maintenance can’t always combat bad driving habits. We’re addressing the driving patterns that can damage your vehicle at Carroll Chevrolet.

Frequently Taking Short Drives

If you continuously run quick errands but never take longer drives, you could damage your vehicle. Your battery doesn’t have adequate time to recharge during short trips, so it will have reduced capacity. Your engine and ignition system could also become strained. Take time to give your car the occasional “highway tune-up.”

Tailgating

Following other vehicles too closely isn’t just aggressive; it’s unsafe. You are much more likely to be forced to slam on your brakes, which wears down your brakes quickly. You also risk being unable to respond quickly enough and getting in an accident.

Driving on ‘E’

If you always have low fuel, you aren’t just risking running out of gas. You can also clog your fuel filter or even strain your fuel injectors. In older vehicles, fuel helps serve as a coolant for components like the fuel pump, so driving around without enough fuel is especially harmful.

Racing

Whether you’re racing another vehicle or just racing to get somewhere, you should never accelerate too quickly. You could be seriously straining your engine. Plus, you’ll watch your gas mileage plummet.

Ignoring the Check Engine Light

Yes, trivial issues like a loose gas cap can trigger the check engine light. However, there could also be something seriously wrong with your vehicle. You need to have your car inspected to determine what’s afoot.

Bad driving habits aren’t just dangerous; they could also harm your vehicle. If you think your vehicle may have been affected, it’s important to have it addressed. Visit Carroll Chevrolet to have your vehicle inspected and repaired today!

There are lots of perks to buying a used Chevy car. However, you shouldn’t buy one from just anyone. We’re highlighting why you should buy a used Chevy vehicle from Carroll Chevrolet.

Peace of Mind

Arguably, the number one reason to buy from a dealership is peace of mind. Used vehicles can come with lots of uncertainty. However, by shopping at our dealership, you can rest assured that you’re getting a reliable car you can trust.

Pricing

When you’re dealing with a private party, there isn’t usually much room for negotiating. However, dealerships have specials and incentives to offer. You have more options at more price points, which isn’t typically true of private sellers.

Financing Available

Financing is another perk of shopping at a dealership. You don’t have to worry about paying out of pocket for a vehicle like you would with a private seller. We can help you secure an auto loan for your car in comfortable monthly payments.

Diverse Inventory

We aren’t just confident that we have a vehicle that aligns with your budget. We know that we have one that meets your needs as well. With our extensive inventory, there’s no need to settle. We’ve got just what you’re looking for.

Selling Convenience

Do you already have a vehicle that you want to sell? By shopping at our dealership, you can also trade in your current vehicle. That helps you avoid the hassle of selling and ensures you’ve got a guaranteed buyer for your car.

There’s no denying the 2024 Chevy Equinox is an innovative, stylish, and capable crossover. However, with the 2025 Chevy Equinox available, you may wonder if it’s a better fit. We’re comparing them both at Carroll Chevrolet to help you decide.

New Generation

With the release of the 2025 Chevy Equinox, the crossover is entering its fourth generation. That wraps up the third generation, which ran from 2018 to 2024. The new generation includes a variety of upgrades and changes, including new technology, new styling, and a new size.

Larger Size

The exterior upgrades of the 2025 Chevy Equinox equate to a slightly bigger crossover than before. The wheelbase and height changes are minimal, although it’s over two inches wider. That translates to nearly an extra cubic foot of passenger volume.

New Design

The exterior of the 2025 Chevy Equinox has been refreshed with a more rugged appearance. In fact, its design overhaul is pretty substantial, including a bold new grille. It also features the latest ICE-based lighting treatment that you’ll see in the Chevy Blazer and the Chevy Traverse. It’s also available in an all-new ACTIV trim level with a distinct look.

Cabin Upgrades

The cabin has been redesigned with improved ergonomics and a new digital gauge cluster. It also features a larger infotainment screen for added convenience. While the 2024 Chevy Equinox is available with a stunning eight-inch screen, the 2025 model features a massive 11.3-inch touchscreen oriented toward the driver.

Your car title is one of the most essential pieces of documentation for your car. In fact, it’s necessary for every purchase or sale. At Carroll Chevrolet, we’re diving into all the details to give you a closer look.

What Does a Title Look Like?

A car title looks similar to a birth certificate. It’s issued by the state where your vehicle was purchased and includes a seal for authenticity. It contains the vehicle’s make, model, year, color, and VIN. It also includes the date of sale and the odometer reading when it was sold.

Do Used Cars Have Titles?

Used cars already have a title, which includes the previous owner’s information. When the ownership changes, you’ll have to transfer the title to your name. In Florida, the dealer usually takes care of this process, which is included in your document fees.

Why Don’t I Have Mine?

Car buyers won’t receive an official copy of their title until the vehicle is paid for in full. If you’ve financed your vehicle, you’ll only have a copy until your loan is paid off. This copy typically arrives within 90 days of your purchase and will list your lender as the owner.

Do I Need a Title to Sell My Vehicle?

Yes. Your title is essentially proof of ownership of your vehicle. If you still have an existing lien on your trade-in vehicle, we’ll pay off your lien so that we can request the title from your lender.

A midsize truck is ideal when you need strength and versatility without sacrificing agility and fuel efficiency. The Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma are both great contenders in the segment, but they don’t compare to the 2024 Chevy Colorado. We’re taking a closer look at Carroll Chevrolet.

Towing Prowess

Even though it’s a midsize truck, the Chevy Colorado has seriously impressive towing power. In fact, it has an unsurpassed max available 7,700-pound towing capacity. The Ford Ranger tops out with a 7,500-pound towing capacity, while the Toyota Tacoma can only tow up to 6,500 pounds.

Functional Truck Bed

Naturally, a versatile truck bed is a must for truck drivers. When you have serious hauling needs, you’ll also prefer the Chevy Colorado, which has a class-leading 17 tie-downs available. It’s also available with a segment-first StowFlex Tailgate™, which features a secure storage compartment in the tailgate.

Advanced Features

With its ten available camera views, the Chevy Colorado allows you to confidently travel anywhere. While the other trucks offer camera views, they can’t compare. The Chevy Colorado is also available with class-exclusive underbody cameras, which help you keep your truck protected, even on rocky terrains.

Off-Road-Ready Trim

If you’re an adventurer, you’ll see that nothing compares to the Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison. The off-road-ready model, which was created with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), features class-leading features and capabilities:

• Largest-in-class 35-inch OD MT tires
• Best-in-class 12.2-inch ground clearance
• Best-in-class breakover angle
• Best-in-class underbody protection with five Boron Steel skid plates
