It seems like a rite of passage for every driver to experience a flat tire. So, luckily, you’re not on your own. By trusting a car service center within Lyon-Waugh Auto Group, you can rest assured that your car will be in great hands. One way our team of certified technicians will help you out is by determining if your tire needs to be plugged or replaced. 

Should My Car’s Tires be Plugged or Replaced? 

If one of your car’s tires gets punctured by debris on the road and ends up getting deflated, one of the first things your technician will assess is whether your needs to be replaced or if it can be fixed. 

When to Plug Tires: Generally speaking, the closer the puncture is to the center of the tire, the better a plug will perform. If the hole is close to the wall of the tire, plugging won’t be an option. If your tire can be fixed, only a plug and patch treatment will allow you to safely drive for a while. Ultimately, the plug is supposed to be a temporary solution. 

When to Replace Tires: If your tire simply wore out and became flat or more vulnerable to being punctured, then it’s time to swap out that tire for a new one and consider changing each of your tires. 

Our Service Center

After making your way to one of our New England luxury car dealership locations, our team will be able to make a quick assessment of whether or not your tire can be fixed. If we can fix it, we’ll let you know how long you can expect the plug and patch to hold up. Either way, when it comes time for new tires, you can find the perfect tires for your vehicle at our luxury car tire center.

Drivers looking for exceptional quality aren’t limited to looking for brand new cars. You can discover pristinely maintained and reliable luxury vehicles when you explore Certified Pre-Owned cars for sale here at Lyon-Waugh Auto Group. To get you up to speed on what you can expect from Certified Pre-Owned luxury cars, here are some answers to commonly asked questions. 

What Makes a Vehicle Certified? 

Each brand has slightly differing standards for their respective Certified Pre-Owned programs, but each generally requires the vehicle to pass a stricter multi-point inspection compared to other used cars.

Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are also under 75,000 miles and are generally five years old or newer. Additionally, only vehicles with only OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts are considered. 

Are Certified Pre-Owned Cars the Same Price as New Cars? 

While Certified Pre-Owned luxury cars provide an extra level of confidence on the road by being exceptionally well maintained, they still cost less than new cars. So even though you’re getting closeto new quality, you can forget about having to pay the new-car price tag. 

Does the New-Car Warranty Still Apply? 

Certified Pre-Owned cars that are still within the parameters of their new-car warranty will still have full coverage. Another perk of buying Certified Pre-Owned is that all programs have extended warranty coverages beyond the new car warranty, giving you extra peace of mind when you hit the road. 

Are Certified Pre-Owned Cars Worth It? 

Between the fact that Certified Pre-Owned luxury cars are more cost-effective than new cars, come with extra warranties, and have to be in top-notch condition, they’re a great value. Most programs also offer 24/7 roadside assistance, a free CARFAX® report, and a complimentary three-month SiriusXM® radio trial.

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of browsing sleek luxury cars to take home. But it’s important to keep in mind that with any car purchase you make, you’ll want to be prepared to take great care of it. Thankfully, you have our team here at Lyon-Waugh Auto Group on your side. Here’s how to get the most out of your car by visiting our luxury car service centers. 

Don’t Skip Scheduled Maintenance

The single most important way to keep your car driving smoothly and to extend its life is to never skip scheduled maintenance. Services like oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections all help your car drive the way it was meant to – which is why you decided to take it home in the first place! When all of your car’s components work smoothly, you can expect to save on fuel as well.

Get Your Car Detailed

Half of what makes a luxury car so fun is being able to show it off while you cruise through town and inviting friends and family to ride along in the pristine cabin. By having your car frequently detailed at one of our service centers, it will always be ready to impress. 

Pay Attention to Your OBD

Every luxury car includes an onboard diagnostics (OBD) system to alert you of any potential problems. For instance, your check engine light will alert you of any emissions irregularities, which could indicate a variety of powertrain problems. Other important lights include your oil level light, battery light, and transmission light.

If you’ve never explored the idea of leasing a vehicle, you may be wondering what your options are, including whether or not you can get a used car lease. Luckily, our team at Lyon-Waugh Auto Group is here to bring you up to speed when it comes to your financing options, including your options for leasing a used car. 

What is Leasing? 

Leasing a luxury car is an alternative option to taking out a loan to purchase a vehicle. Rather than being responsible for paying back the full price of the car, you’ll pay monthly installments based on the estimated depreciation of the vehicle over the course of the lease, which is typically about 36 months. 

Leasing lets you enjoy all of the features that come with your vehicle while making lower payments than you would if you made a purchase.

Can I Lease a Used Car? 

Many car shoppers make the mistake of thinking they can only lease new cars. In reality, leasing used cars is always an option – and it’s a great option. Since used cars depreciate at a slower rate than new cars, you can expect lower payments on a used car lease compared to a new car lease. 

Best Used Cars to Lease

When you explore our inventory of Certified Pre-Owned luxury cars, you’ll discover a great selection of vehicles with low mileage that are available to lease. Want to enjoy a thrilling luxury sports coupe experience? Then consider leasing a pre-owned BMW 2 Series. Or if a genuine luxury SUV experience is more your style, then look into leasing a pre-owned Land Rover Discovery. 

Visit one of our New England luxury car dealership locations today to find the perfect used car lease for you!

Exploring new electric cars opens up an exciting world for drivers who want to eliminate trips to the fuel pump while enjoying a unique acceleration experience. And at Lyon-Waugh Auto Group, we can fill you in on all of the sleek features electric luxury cars have to offer, including how long it takes to charge the electric vehicles we have in stock. 

How Quickly Can Electric Vehicles Charge? 

Since every electric vehicle is different, battery charging speed will vary depending on the specific model. But generally, electric vehicles can reach a full charge overnight, providing more than sufficient range for both daily drives and trips to the next metro area. 

For example, the Audi e-tron electric SUV comes with an at-home charging setup that allows you to achieve a complete charge in 10.5 hours, which gives you 222 miles of range. Similarly, the Jaguar I-PACE electric SUV can reach a full charge in 10.1 hours, giving you 234 miles of range. 

This means that ultimately, you won’t even have to charge your electric car every night. And if you have a quick turnaround time for your next commute, you won’t need the full charging time to get sufficient range for your drives through town.

Quick Charging

If you do find yourself in a pinch and need to expand your driving range quickly, you can access the growing network of DC quick-charging stations. For instance, the Jaguar I-PACE can go from a completely depleted battery to an 80% charge in just 85 minutes at a 50kW DC charging station or just 45 minutes at a 100kW DC station.

Each brand also offers attractive warranties to give you more peace of mind on the road. 

3. Slower Depreciation

Of course, you already know that you’ll pay a lower price when you purchase used. But the financial benefits of buying used keep on coming. Since used cars depreciate more slowly compared to new cars, you can expect to keep more of your car’s value over time.
