When describing a good or bad Uber ride, it always begins with the car you were picked up in. Sure the driver may have taken a few extra minutes on the pick up, or taken a wrong turn on the way home, but if the car itself is nice we can forgive these faux pas. At Liberty Buick GMC we know Uber riders want high levels of comfort, luxury, and sound. It just so happens we have two brand-new vehicles that perfectly fit the bill. What We Like in an Uber Tastes vary, but on the most basic level, things like comfort, luxury, and sound are not difficult to create. That being said, when it comes to Uber rides, higher levels of these three makes for a better experience. Leather or upholstery, it really doesn’t matter. Just as long as the seat itself has plenty of cushion and give and holds you in a nice position, that’s what really counts. Legroom is something else to consider. It doesn’t matter how comfy that seat is if your legs are scrunched up into your chest. Another thing is the ride itself. It needs to be smooth and soft the entire trip. Sharp turns should feel like fluffy side-hugs. Potholes, nothing but little divots to hardly be noticed. It doesn’t have to be extravagant. Those luxurious items only found in cars with a price tag similar to that of a home mortgage aren’t required. It’s quality we want as Uber riders, and that simply means entering a car with sturdiness and charm. Solid doors, svelte seating, and dark tones with LED running lights do well to make any passenger feel as though she is taking a proper Uber ride. Quality sound comes from modern mechanics pumping through nice speakers. There also needs to be plentiful options: radio, CD, and phone connectivity are most common, but just as long as the sound is crisp and clear it usually does not matter what the source is. We know what we like in an Uber car, and now it’s time to look at which makes and models we, at Liberty Buick GMC, recommend. 2018 Buick Regal Sportback The all-new 2018 Buick Regal Sportback is a great choice for an Uber driver for more reasons than we can even list. Let’s begin with the high comfort levels in the 2018 Regal Sportback. From the moment you sit inside you can tell something is different. There’s just so much room! The hatchback offers extra storage spaces, and the length of the car itself offers more than enough legroom from every seat. This makes those trips to the airport with extra baggage no problem. Just set the bigger bags on the floorboards and easily slide the rest in the back. As for the seats themselves, they are much more comfortable than those in your average sedan. At first sit, they are obviously a cut above. The thick material and quality cushion instantly put any passenger at ease. They seem to hold you comfortably in place, all the while allowing the necessary levels of give for optimum comfort. Next is luxury, and the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback has it in spades. The new Sportback is offered in four trim levels: 1SV, Preferred I, Preferred II, and Essence. All come with varying bells and whistles such as power accessories, keyless ignition, OnStar 4G LTE connectivity, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. There is the option between a 7.0 and 8.0 center touchscreen and allow wheels ranging in size from 17 to 18-inches. To make the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback even more luxurious, Buick has added a Driver Confidence package. This bundle of goodies includes memory for the front seats and mirrors, four-way power lumbar adjustment in the front, heated and auto-dimming driver mirror, LED headlights that level themselves automatically, and a host of luxurious safety features such as: Adaptive cruise control Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking Active lane control with lane-departure warning The 2018 Buick Regal Sportback has you covered on quality sound too. With the option for eight premium Bose speakers, sounds are just so much better. Add this to Buick’s famous Infotainment center, and you have yourself a nice little setup. This center console allows you access to all your favorite music, turn-by-turn directions, and emergency assistance, a USB port, and plenty more. With an abundance of features and one of the smoothest rides you will ever experience, the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback is the modern Uber car. 2018 GMC Acadia With a price at around $29,000 you can’t go wrong with the new 2018 GMC Acadia as an Uber. Though most Uber cars tend to be sedans, this mid-size crossover performs like a high-dollar SUV but has the perks of driving a sedan. As a matter of fact, almost every feature specified in the 2018 Buick Regal can be found in the 2018 GMC Acadia as well. By way of comfort, the 2018 GMC Acadia seems to defy logic. The fact that the mid-size Acadia fits seven passengers is strange, but when you realize all seven can sit comfortably inside it blows your mind. By way of expert design and craftsmanship, GMC has maximized just about every possible angle of space to ensure roominess. Up front, both seats are multi-adjustable. The second row sits back far enough to allow easy access in and out, and it provides extra legroom for passengers. The third row is the smallest, but still allows for comfort and room, especially for children. For Uber purposes, this third row is perfect for throwing luggage, especially when in a hurry. To make the 2018 GMC Acadia even more charming, there are soft-touch materials throughout, and not that cheap, rubbery-feel either. The inside of the new Acadia feels like plush quality that makes you want to ride along for hours. In the all-new GMC Acadia, luxury and comfort work together. As you experience the high levels of comfort in the Acadia, you begin to notice just how luxurious what you are riding in is. Take, for instance, the fact that there are a total of six different trim levels. Each of these offers varying aspects of comfort, but all performs at a level of luxury that is just not found in SUVs at this price. There’s the rear-seat detection feature, which is designed to keep you aware of a rear passenger or that you have recently opened a rear door. Then there is the 7.0-inch Infotainment system that has enough connectivity and output features to make any passenger happy. This system gives you up-to-date weather and traffic alerts, plays your favorite music and podcasts, even makes calls and reminds you of upcoming meetings. It’s like having a secretary right there in the dash. There is also the classy look of the 2018 Acadia. Its rolling sides and ready stance give a capable yet sophisticated feel, exactly what an Uber ride should be. The sound quality in the 2018 GMC Acadia matches that of the Buick Regal. The only difference is there is more room for the sound to expand in the Acadia. The Infotainment system previously mentioned also comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, appealing to just about everyone.   If you are thinking of becoming an Uber driver, or if you feel the need to be a bit more particular in the type of Uber you ride in, consider both the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback and the 2018 GMC Acadia. Both pack a punch in all three departments of comfort, luxury, and sound. Come in to Liberty Buick GMC today and find the best deal on one of the best cars for Ubering.

Liberty Buick GMC is a family-friendly car dealership located in the Charlotte/Matthews area of North Carolina. With the competitive car selling industry, it can be hard to know whether or not you are getting the best deals and overall best care for your vehicles. At Liberty Buick GMC, we strive to make our customers more than just a car sale, but rather a customer and friend for life. We like to keep our business honest and ethical to help customers feel welcomed. One of the main responsibilities when owning a vehicle is the service and maintenance upkeep. That’s why Liberty Buick GMC is here to take care of you beyond the sale. Charlotte car dealers are competitive, but does the lowest price always mean the best deal?  Calculate what you will spend on your car service and purchase over a five year plan to get the best deal. When purchasing a vehicle, there are a lot of factors to consider. Beyond budgeting for insurance or accidents, one of the biggest reoccurring expenses is maintaining a vehicle. When you purchase a vehicle, it is important to shop around for the best deal, but many think that the best deal always means the lowest-priced vehicle. Before you jump to that conclusion, you should calculate the cost of maintaining the vehicle over a five year plan. Costs to consider can include: Fuel Maintenance Financing Insurance Repairs State Fees Loss In Value Kelley Blue Book lays out the cost of owning a car over a typical 5- year plan. With the numbers from Kelley Blue Book and our expertise on vehicles, we’ve developed a comprehensive guide to inform you on all of the hidden costs that can occur when buying a vehicle and help determine what the best deals are for you personally before you make your purchase. Fuel How often you pull into a gas station often depends on the length of your average commute. Many people sit in traffic for hours every day and others drive right around the corner. This makes a huge difference in the amount spent on gas over a five year duration. Another big factor is the type of vehicle you drive. Smaller compact sedan vehicles will use less gas, while big trucks and SUVs will require more. The average person should account for spending about $6,309 to $11,585 every five years on fuel depending on the type of vehicle and distance they drive. Buick vehicles are very fuel efficient. The popular compact SUV, the 2018 Buick Encore has an estimated fuel economy of 33 miles per gallon. Maintenance Getting your vehicle serviced is a big commitment and investment for both your time and money. To help increase the lifespan and value of a vehicle it is important to keep up with your vehicles service requirements. This includes, but is not limited to, oil changes, tire rotations, and wheel alignments. Over five years, these expenses add up. The average person spends $2,448 to $4,986 to have maintenance performed on their vehicle. With this investment in time and money, it is important to ensure that you are going to a trustworthy and friendly service department. Liberty Buick GMC has an awesome service team with honest folks ready to take care of all your service needs, and makes sure you’re getting the best deals in town to keep your maintenance costs low. Financing Financing costs all depend on the bank you choose to finance with, your credit score, and your initial down payment. The average person spends about $921 to $3,335 on financing their vehicle. Liberty Buick GMC’s financial team will work with you individually to find the best rates and deals when it comes to financing your vehicle.  Cecil Ward is the experienced financial advisor at Liberty Buick GMC who will help you secure the best rates. Insurance For most people, insurance is a painful point when it comes to talking about buying a new vehicle, since it can be expensive and dependent on a lot of different factors. Some of the most influential insurance factors include: Years Of Driving Experience Type of Vehicle Insurance Agency Coverage When an experienced driver purchases a new vehicle, insurance averages between $2,990 to $3,410 depending on the vehicle and the insurance agency rates. Liberty Buick GMC’s dealers are happy to talk your options through and determine whether a new or used vehicle is the right fit for you. Repairs Things happen and simple car repairs are needed. Within five years , you will need to plan for repairs both planned and unplanned. For repairs, the average cost over five years is around $1,659 to $2,454. When undergoing repairs, it is important that the service department you choose is knowledgeable and ready to make sure their customers are on the same page about their vehicle. The technicians at Liberty Buick GMC are all highly qualified and certified, but moreover, care about their customers. State Fees State fees are simply unavoidable. They vary depending on the state you live in and the vehicle that you drive. The average car owner spends $1,659 to $5,474 over five years on state fees. Loss In Value This is a big one, and it can sting. You probably already know that your car loses value. In fact, the moment you drive off the dealerships lot, no matter where you purchase your vehicle or what great deal you get, your car begins to depreciate in value. Over five years, the value of your car will plummet thousands and thousands of dollars. This is why the car that you choose is so important. Luxurious vehicles like GMC and Buick truly hold their value. Of course, they still lose market value over time, as does every vehicle, but because these vehicles are made to last, they certainly won’t lose personal value to their owners. Overall, vehicles are expensive but the initial price of the vehicle is not everything. Even if two cars cost the same amount, the cost over five years could be significantly different. Each and every car is different, so taking extra effort to determine what you will value in your vehicle over time is very important. Once you have picked your dream vehicle, where you purchase it is important. Going for the dealership that prices it the lowest may not always be the best option. It’s a worthwhile decision to go to a local dealership that you can trust and build a relationship with, especially if you’re planning to use their service department for your vehicle needs. If it’s a valuable investment in your five year plan to getting your vehicle serviced and repaired for the best prices and by the most trusted service team, it’s wise to compare prices beyond the vehicle and head the service desk of the dealership to gauge whether they will be friendly and honest with you in future visits. At Liberty Buick GMC, we strive to find great deals for our customers, but also treat our customers well beyond the sales with our service team, which make up the best service department around Charlotte. We want our customers to be more than just a single car sale, but a customer for life. We achieve this mission with our wonderful customer service that follows customers through everything from servicing their vehicle to buying their next vehicle with us. Call us at 866-442-0871 to schedule an appointment or drop by our conveniently located dealership in Charlotte-Matthews today.

Your crew deserves a truck that can handle anything thrown at it. A truck designed to thrive in those inevitably sticky situations on a job site that call for heavy duty pulling or towing. Your crew deserves a GMC Sierra. THE TYPE OF TRUCK YOU AND YOUR CREW USE SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THE QUALITY OF WORK YOU PERFORM. Walk on any job site and see what they drive: a mix-matched bunch of old clunker trucks with rust spots and different colored panels. Or maybe shiny new trucks, but ones that are puny and cheaply made. But what about a job site with sleek, durable trucks, which look to be made for hauling heavy loads and pulling large machinery. Trucks with sleek designs and bold features. Would you feel differently about this crew? Most likely, you would. Your truck tells how organized you are. It tells what type of work you can handle and how serious you are about what you are doing. Choosing a make and model of truck for your crew is integral to the success of your business. So why choose anything other than the best? CHOOSE A SIERRA TRUCK Since 1902, GMC has been making other truck companies envious with the Sierra. Through the years, the venerated Sierra truck has won countless awards, including this year’s naming of the Sierra 1500 as the Texas Truck Showdown Towing Champion. This award is given after a grueling compatibility test is performed on various high-end trucks by editors from Cars.com, PickupTrucks.com, and MrTruck.com. GMC SIERRA 1500 NAMED THE TEXAS TRUCK SHOWDOWN TOWING CHAMPION But you don’t have to take other people’s word for it (as qualified though they may be). Come in to LIBERTY BUICK GMC TRUCKS today and open the hood of an all-new Sierra and see for yourself just how impressive the mechanics to this machine are. Examples: When it comes to performance, you will not find a better truck. On the lowest end, the Sierra comes with: a 4.3-liter, V-6 engine that can go from 0 mph to 60 mph in just under 8 seconds. If the work you do requires a bit more power: 3-liter, V-8 engine that has 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. And, this bigger engine can tow up to 11,100 pounds! If you need even more power, there is another: 2-liter, V-8 engine 12,500 pound towing capacity 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Now that is a lot of power. IF THE SIERRA’S PERFORMANCE LEVELS IMPRESS YOU, WAIT UNTIL YOU EXPERIENCE THE COMFORT AND QUALITY OF ITS CABIN. The interior of the GMC Sierra is large. There is plenty of room to stretch and move around. The seats themselves are plush and easy to nestle into. The driver’s seat allows you to position yourself perfectly thanks to the power-adjustable pedals and steering wheel that tilts and telescopes. There are plenty of soft-touch materials covering the interior, and chrome accents border sections of the dash’s control panel and steering wheel to make the cabin pop. Ambient lighting sets a comforting, cool mood. Drivers also get up to five USB ports with both 12- and 110-volt compatibility points so that you are able to charge just about anything from your phone to a laptop. There is more than enough storage room in the middle section of the front seat, and even more can be found in the door panels and below the seats. And, to isolate the interior from the exterior, triple door seals are used to block outside noise from polluting the quite and smooth ride within. This leads us to the drive itself. All Sierra trucks operate with a front strut and rear leaf-spring suspension. This provides extra cushion and makes the impact of bumps and potholes virtually nonexistent. And if you are worried about drive quality when hauling extra big loads, you can opt for the Magnetic Ride Control, which helps reduce intense up-and-down motions. And, the steering and control to the Sierra, no matter what you are hauling or pulling, are responsive and fluid. WHICH SIERRA IS THE BEST FIT FOR YOU? So you have narrowed your search to the Sierra. It drives, looks, and feels the best. Now the question is which Sierra, the 1500, 2500, or 3500? Let’s start by looking at some specific specs and features to each of the three. Sierra 1500 The base line 1500 is available in a 5.3- or 6.2-liter EcoTech3 V-8 engine. In certain trim levels the 1500 comes with the Z71 off-road suspension system. And, GMC LED daytime running lights, Stabilitrak, a corner step rear bumper, hydraulic body mounts, and triple door seals come standard with all Sierra 1500 trim levels. As far as towing, the 1500 can handle up to 9,400 pounds with ease. This truck is good for hauling and pulling, and truly excels in drive quality. Sierra 2500 Stepping it up a notch, the 2500 offers everything the 1500 does and more. It comes with a 5.3-liter, V-8 or a 6.6-liter, V-8 Duramax diesel engine. The 2500 also has an Allison Series 1000 transmission, an available spray-on bed liner, and digital steering assist. And, it has a whopping 14,500 pounds towing capacity. If you need something that can handle those heavier loads and pull some bigger equipment, the Sierra 2500 is for you and your crew. Sierra 3500 At the top level, the 3500 exceeds expectations. This truck was built especially for trailering and hauling, and can handle as much as 23,200 pounds (using fifth-wheel trailering). The 3500 comes with Digital Steering Assist to help keep control of those heavy payloads, and there is what’s called Hill Start Assist, which momentarily holds the breaks while you switch your foot from the brake pad to the gas. This is especially useful on inclines or unstable surface areas. The 3500 offers everything the other two models do, plus a few extras like an EZ-Lift and Lower tailgate, chrome trailering mirrors, an automatic locking rear differential, and comes in a 6.2-liter engine or a 6.6-liter, V-8 Duramax diesel.   But the best part of choosing a GMC Sierra is that you can basically build your own. There are numerous Sierra packages to choose from and even more trim level features to sift through and add on. So if there are aspects you like of all three models of the Sierra, you can actually piece together a version that works perfectly for what you need. This is helpful because you don’t end up getting your crew trucks that have unneeded features or capabilities. This way, your trucks are customized to your company’s needs.
