When you’re shopping for Chevy cars with all-wheel drive (AWD), contact Wilkinson Automotive in Sanford, NC. Our dealership has a great selection of AWD cars, trucks, and SUVs. Not sure whether AWD or four-wheel drive (4WD) is the right drivetrain for your needs? Don’t panic! Our knowledgeable sales team can go over the differences and help you decide which is right for you. 

What is the Difference?

When you buy one of our Chevy cars with all-wheel drive, your vehicle will have all four of its wheels engaged while in use. There are two types of AWD, continuous and part-time. With part-time AWD, all wheels are only engaged when needed to maintain traction. The nice thing about an AWD vehicle is that you don’t need to do anything for it to kick in. 

In contrast, 4WD sends power to all wheels at once with maximum torque and power. This is particularly helpful for towing and hauling. 4WD also comes in full-time and part-time options. One major difference between 4WD and AWD is that 4WD will require your input to go into effect. You can engage full-time 4WD when climbing rocky terrain or towing your boat down to the pier.

Benefits of Each Drivetrain

Chevy cars with all-wheel drive can handle cold weather and snow-covered roads without any issues. In addition, an AWD vehicle will allow you to safely travel on wet or slippery roadways. AWD comes standard or options on many of today’s cars, trucks, and SUVs. 

4WD comes standard or optional on a variety of trucks and larger SUVs. This drivetrain will help drivers navigate uneven rocky terrain, deep snow-packed roadways, and tackle off-road driving. 4WD is particularly useful for drivers who need to climb icy hills during the winter months. A 4WD vehicle can handle all your work or play needs. 

Visit Wilkinson Automotive to buy your AWD or 4WD vehicle. Our Chevrolet Sanford, NC location also serves Raleigh and Fayetteville, NC.

Keeping up with your vehicle’s oil changes and overall maintenance schedule is crucial when it comes to safety, as well as getting the most miles out of your car. Something as simple as an oil change could lead to greater issues or a hefty repair bill if not regularly changed. By changing your car’s oil on a routine basis, you can expect to achieve greater fuel efficiency, a smoother ride, and extended engine life. Over time, oil accumulates dirt, debris, and dust, resulting is a sludge-like consistency. It also starts to deplete, which is why it’s important to bring your car in.

In addition, following a maintenance schedule is often required by your car manufacturer’s warranty. Failing to do so could leave you footing the bill for costly repairs. Plus, skipping out on oil changes can also lead to a poor resale value when it comes to trade in your car. When it is time to have your car’s oil changed, bring it into Wilkinson Automotive in Sanford, NC. Our service center offers high-quality service at a fair price.
