Record sales in 2015 have set the stage for another great year for Hyundai- all thanks to their dependably high-quality vehicles at a great price. At our used car dealer in Winston-Salem, we have dozens of pre-owned Hyundai models in stock for the buyer who’s looking for a stylish investment that will be with them for years to come.

Choose a Car That Lasts

Part of the appeal of the Hyundai brand is their versatility. Choose from the capable and maneuverable Santa Fe crossover SUV or the commute-suited Elantra. Perhaps an emphasis on performance is a priority for you. If that’s the case, the Genesis is a great fit! However, any model is suitable for drivers who appreciate comfort- a top priority that becomes evident as soon as you get behind the wheel.

Regardless of the model, you’ll be impressed with your Hyundai’s handling. This is a company that has its eye on design and innovation, and as a result, it has always kept ahead of the game when it comes to providing superior athleticism in their vehicles. Take tight corners with no issue. With our Winston-Salem used car dealer’s “Everybody Rides” program, everyone can finally experience a simple fact of the automotive world: that a Hyundai is the key to a joyful drive.

The Incorrigible Hyundai Tucson

The Hyundai Tucson is a brand best-seller and if you take one of ours for a test drive, you’ll see why. Thanks to the company’s forward-thinking priority on fuel economy that was truly ahead of its time, drivers of a used Hyundai Tucson can still enjoy impressive efficiency at dropped prices. Choose between a 4-cylinder or V6 engine to get a feel for this crossover’s potential.

There’s a reason Christmas is referred to as “the most wonderful time of the year.” In a time when neighbors greet each other with good cheer, the neighborhood becomes aglow with Christmas lights. For some families, taking a driving tour of the town to see the best-decorated houses is a tradition! Why don’t you up the ante this year by driving the family to these beautiful light displays around North Carolina?

Light Up Your Christmas

• Trail of Lights: This town, with its rich history rooted in Italian heritage, has a yearly Christmas light display of over 100,000 lights that illuminate traditional Christmas imagery and culturally significant symbols as well. Head to the town of Valdese between 6 PM – 9 PM by Christmas Eve in order to see the sights!
• High Country Lights: What’s better than seeing an animated light show from the comfort of your vehicle? Park your car in the designated area near the Glade Creek Fire Department in Ennice by 6 PM, get the family settled into the car with snacks, tune the radio in to 96.5 FM, and watch the animated light show. Thousands of LED lights will provide hours of intrigue for the whole family!
• Chetola’s Festival of Lights: When you visit Chetola Resort at Blowing Rock through the end of January, you can drive around Chetola Lake to take in the sights of the meticulously assembled display. HIghlights include a nativity scene, ice skaters, and Rudolph himself!
• Christmas Town USA: In its 60th year of celebrating Christmas with a dazzling two-mile light display, the town of McAdenville transforms once a year into Christmas Town USA, nationally recognized for its beauty. A quick two-mile drive through McAdenville will afford you the opportunity to glimpse Santa, more than 200 wreaths, and almost 400 decorated trees!

The Christmas spirit is made of more than just lights and baubles, but they’re a good place to start! Head out this month to check out these dazzling displays with your loved ones.

Undoubtedly, the first thing you notice when you look at a vehicle is the color. It can determine someone’s feelings towards a car. Well, it seems that the masses have spoken- the most searched-for color between January and June of 2015 was Metallic Black, making it Autotrader’s 2015 Car Color of the Year. At our used car dealership in Winston-Salem, we have a large selection of quality vehicles made timeless by their black color.

A Shade For Every Occasion

There’s a reason officials are escorted in black cars: a large vehicle, such as the GMC Yukon, is much more imposing in black than in any other color available. When they’re cloaked in black, vehicles with an athletic stance, such as the Chevrolet Impala, gain an air of intrigue as they surge past other drivers. And in a slick, gleaming black coat, luxury cars such as the Ford Crown Victoria adopt a more formal atmosphere- as if they’ve put on a perfectly tailored tuxedo.

You don’t have to spring for a luxury vehicle to obtain the refreshing prestige of a black car. That’s what makes it such a classic: it lends sophistication to any vehicle. More practically-minded sedans such as the Nissan Altima take on a more elegant appeal when they’re the shade of a night sky. Cut through the Winston-Salem open roads with more confidence when you select a silky ride on a budget from our inventory of used cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs.

Pick a Fresh Face

Like a black suit or the classic “little black dress,” this car color doesn’t ever go out of style. Like any timeless design component, it can make older vehicles look new again. That’s why it’s the perfect shade for used car shoppers. If you’re concerned about your car looking dated, a black car is a quick fix.

No matter what look you want for your next new-to-you vehicle, we have exactly what you need at our used car dealership. Visit us to take a look at our inventory and take a test drive!

As we close in on another winter, it’s time to take a look at your tires and make sure they’re in top shape. Regularly checking these things can save you money in the long run by identifying problem areas early and remedying them accordingly, but more importantly, regularly checking the tires can help keep you safe. Bald treads, low air pressure, or punctures- these are things that can endanger the safety of other drivers and yourself. Follow these steps for regular tire care and if you see any issues, our Winston-Salem auto repair center will be happy to help you!

Follow the Essential Steps

• Check – Check your tire’s air pressure. Incorrect tire pressure can cause hazardous driving conditions and negatively impact braking and handling. Don’t compromise your safety; take a couple of minutes to check the air pressure monthly.
• Inspect – You can bring your vehicle into our Winston-Salem service facility to have your tires inspected yearly, but don’t forget to take a look at them on your own. You may spot damage or wear you hadn’t noticed before. By noticing these issues early, you can remedy them before they become a serious problem.
• Respect – Be considerate of your tires’ capabilities. Don’t exceed the load capacity put forward by your tire’s load index or drive and high speeds constantly. Either of these things can result in sudden destruction of your tire- in the latter case, because you’ve hit something (such as a pothole) or because of heat build-up,

If you find any issues with your tires, don’t be afraid to use your spare tire. Any tire damage is serious and warrants the attention of a professional. Put on your spare tire or wheel and visit our service center so that our expert technicians can assist you with the issue.

Whether you’re anticipating a growing family or accommodating an already-established one, the purchase of a family car involves a few more considerations than the car of your youth, when you chose the highest horsepower for your money. Some factors will always be the same- reliability, longevity, and versatility come to mind- but there are a few things you may have overlooked. The polls are closed at Frank Myers Auto Maxx, and we’ve come up with five must-have features for your family-friendly car, van, station wagon, or SUV.

Keep It Family-Friendly

1. A Backup Camera – this feature is becoming more and more common, and more crucial. Every driver could use another set of eyes- especially when you have children in your car. The broader line of sight will prove invaluable, and if you plan on teaching someone how to drive in this vehicle, this feature will give you a little more peace of mind.
2. Power-Sliding Doors – This available feature is worth opting up if you’re shopping for a minivan. It’s a good way to open the doors for the kids when your arms are full, to streamline the task of getting everyone into the car (including your little one who can’t reach the door handles yet), and stop when the sensors detect an obstacle.
3. Simple LATCH System – the “lower anchors and tethers for children” system was designed for the express purpose of safely installing child seat, but some vehicles make it more difficult than others. When shopping for a car, bring the seat with you to test out the LATCH system. If it’s difficult, it may cost you a lot of time down the line.
4. Third-Row Seating – Seven-person seating may seem excessive if you’re a parent or parent-to-be. However, a third row is more than just a place to sit (though on playdates and team outings that’s important, too). Consider family road trips, sports equipment, even large-scale school projects. The more storage space the better!
5. Seat belt icon – A small handful of automakers have begun providing icons to indicate who’s buckled in, even in the backseat…an invaluable tool for parents with restless children.

Nothing will make you totally, 100% prepared to be a parent, but having a safe ride with enough room is a great place to start. Consider visiting our dealership, where our sales experts will be happy to talk to you about what you need for your family!
