Gear up friends, it’s the start of another month and right here at Zappone Granville, we want to start the month by debunking a few car-buying myths that you’ve probably heard once or twice in your quest for purchasing a new vehicle. Below are five myths about the car buying process and we explained why these aren’t true when you choose to shop for your next vehicle with the team at Zappone Granville. So, check out those details below, browse our online inventory, and hurry on by to see our team for the best, stress-free buying experience! We look forward to helping you get behind the wheel – see you soon!
The internet is the best place for a great deal
- Buying a new vehicle online isn’t always your best option. The lease or finance rate, trade-in price, and other factors play into getting the best deal on a new vehicle. We encourage you to stop in and visit with our finance team for the best possible deal on a brand new vehicle!
Paying with cash will get you the best price
- Paying for a new vehicle in cash isn’t always the best option. Choosing the right finance option for you is important and something our finance team can assist you with.
Your own financing is better
- Most customers think that bringing their own financing is best but when you choose to finance through the dealership, you’ll have access to various discounts whether it’s on the vehicle of your choosing or your interest rates.
Waiting until the end of the month will get you a better deal
- When you shop at our dealership, you’ll have access to great offers and incentives all month long. And on a variety of models, too. So there’s no reason to wait until the very end of the month to grab a great deal. Shop all month long and get a great price no matter what!
Wait to mention your trade-in
- Absolutely not! We recommend bringing up your trade up front and be honest about what you’re looking to achieve when you trade in your vehicle with us. Being upfront with our team can save you time and money. So mention it upfront and let’s get you behind the wheel sooner rather than later!

So browse our online inventory and hurry on by to take a test drive in what could be your brand new CJDR!
And of course, we promised you a few safety tips to ensure you and your family are staying safe this Halloween season! Below are a few tips and tricks to keep you and your littles safe and we encourage you to share those tips with them, as well! And Happy Halloween! Get out, stay safe, and enjoy yourself this weekend!
Tips For A Safe Halloween:
Make trick-or-treating safer
- Avoid direct contact with trick-or-treaters.
- Give out treats outdoors, if possible.
- Set up a station with individually bagged treats for kids to take.
- Wash hands before handling treats.
- Wear a mask.
Wear a mask
- Make your cloth mask part of your costume.
- A costume mask is not a substitute for a cloth mask.
- Do NOT wear a costume mask over a cloth mask. It can make breathing more difficult.
- Masks should NOT be worn by children under the age of 2 or anyone who has trouble breathing
Stay at least 6 feet away from others who do not live with you
- Indoors and outdoors, you are more likely to get or spread COVID-19 when you are in close contact with others for a long time.
Wash your hands
- Bring hand sanitizer with you and use it after touching objects or other people.
- Use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Parents: supervise young children using hand sanitizer.
- Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds when you get home and before you eat any treats.

Would you consider yourself a good driver? Well, if you were a bad driver would you even admit it? Probably not. Neither would we. This week we are bringing your seven bad driving habits that it’s time to shake and start fresh this upcoming winter season. Think you need a little motivation to start practicing safe driving habits? Maybe motivation like a brand new CJDR? We think so too and we are here to help you get behind the wheel of a new vehicle that fits your lifestyle! But first, let’s talk about bad driving habits!
Using your cellphone while behind the wheel.
- We know it might be difficult to ignore your phone when you’re behind the wheel, but it’s essential to your safety that you keep your eyes on the road ahead. Distracted driving has become an increasingly important issue, more states have cracked down on the usage of a mobile device when driving.
Driving with headphones on
- Listening to music coming through your vehicle’s radio can be distracting enough. Now add headphones to your ears. This is shutting out important vehicle and road noises that may be key indicators something is wrong.
Changing lanes without signaling
- Whether you’re in heavy traffic or not – it’s important to signal when you’re turning or changing lanes. Drivers need to know your intentions. Don’t be lazy, turn your blinker on and be a good driver.
Speeding
- We get it, you’re running late and traffic isn’t heavy – it’s easy to step on it a little bit. But did you know that in 2015, IIHS reported 27% of crash fatalities were related to speeding? In short, slow down and get there safe.
Tailgating
- Following a vehicle too close while not paying close enough attention is a recipe for disaster. And can even result in a ticket. Keep at least one car length behind and stay safe.
Not having your headlights on
- Only needing your headlights at night is a habit to break. When weather conditions are poor or you’re traveling at dusk, turn them on. It’s important to make your presence known when you’re on the roadway.
Not wearing a seatbelt
Click it or ticket. It’s pretty simple and it keeps you safe. According to NHTSA—at least 27 million Americans still don’t buckle up yet seatbelts saved almost 14,000 lives in 2015 alone. So do us a favor, buckle up.

How To Maintain A Healthy CJDR This Fall. We know you’re excited that fall is here but before we get out and explore the open roads, we need to make sure that our vehicles are ready to go and healthy enough to take on the road. Check out how you can easily maintain a healthy CJDR this fall in just a few simple steps! And when you’re done, schedule a service appointment with our team online!
First things first, address any known concerns your vehicle is currently suffering from. Whether it’s minor or major, make sure to clear up any issues to ensure no roadblocks or breakdowns along the way. It’s a great idea to schedule a service appointment and have our team take a look at your vehicle to ensure things are a-okay and you’re good to go!
Next, everything should be in proper working order. This counts for every feature from your head and tail lights, interior lighting, dash lights, and such. Replace your windshield wipers and ensure the frames are not bent, rusting, etc. What about those filters? Have you replaced those recently…no? Then swap them out. And how is your heating system? Is it ready to go? Let’s give that a little attention! Brakes, tires, battery, should we go on?!
On to the fluids! It’s important to make sure that all of your fluid levels are properly filled and healthy. This is an easy task for our service team to complete so if you’re looking to have these taken care of in a moment’s notice, call our team and let us schedule an appointment for a time that fits into your busy schedule!
Lastly, accessorize for the season! It’s important to have a bag packed with essentials that you may need along the way. For example, pack a sweater, blanket, gloves, and hat during the winter months. Don’t forget an ice scraper, extra windshield washer fluid, and a small shovel. Always keep specific items you’ll need for the current season. In the event of an emergency, you might need these items.
