The crew at Kokomo Auto World are always looking for ways to help our customers to save money. Here are some things to consider about buying used vehicles as compared to a brand-new car.

Since the dealer is getting the used cars on the lot from trade-ins, they really have a lot in the way of wiggle room with price. 

Taking a road trip in the spring or summer is often an adventure. You can see things that you might not see during the winter as the days are longer, animals are wandering around, and plants are in bloom. There are a few safety tips to keep in mind while you're traveling so that your vehicle is maintained.

Examine your tire pressure. Make sure all tires are inflated and that there are no punctures or leaks that would cause a flat tire. Kokomo Auto World can check the pressure if you don't have the proper tools. 

Have you heard of Android Auto? It’s a car Bluetooth application that helps you stay hands-free with your phone while driving. You can keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the steering wheel using this handy app. It instantly connects to your car’s infotainment system, allowing you to access contacts, see messages, stream music, and so much more. Android Auto was unveiled in 2015 by Google, and ever since then, the company has been improving the software. 

Automotive-related tech is one of our favorite subjects, and we here at Kokomo Auto World love to share it with drivers. Auto-dimming rearview mirrors are a fascinating piece of tech that never gets old. If you don't know how auto-dimming rearview mirrors work, here's a basic rundown.

Auto-dimming mirrors contain electrochromic gel sandwiched between two layers of glass. This gel darkens when an electrical charge passes through it, after ambient light sensors inside the rearview detect glare.  

Vehicle owners must raise their awareness of the potential for damage to wiring and hoses from hungry rodents. Manufacturers changed the materials that coat engine wires and electrical harnesses. Vehicle makers have turned to plant-based materials to coat wire harnesses and some connectors. The plant-based material may increase the risk of rodent activity under the hood.

In the past, automakers used petroleum-based materials to coat engine and electrical wires. Rodents sometimes attacked vehicle wiring due to sweet-smelling engine fluids. 

The popularity of green cars is on the rise for a good reason. More automakers are joining the platform and creating better options for car buyers to consider. So, which sustainable model should you choose? Well, if you appreciate award-winning vehicles, then consider the Honda Insight—the 2019 Green Car of the Year.

Whether we like it or not, winter is fast approaching. Since we're soon going to experience extremely cold temperatures and have to battle snow and ice, this is the perfect time to schedule an appointment with our Service Center and make sure that your Honda or Toyota is prepared to thrive during these months.

Here are some things to go ahead and take care of, according to our factory-trained technicians:
