Why Choose Certified

At Hanlees Auto Group, we want to bring that sense of comfort and care to our customers. And when it comes to certified pre-owned vehicles, we'd like to reassure you about the benefits when it comes to looking at these type of vehicles.

A certified pre-owned car, CPO for short, is a vehicle that has either been traded in or bought for repurchase. Car manufacturers have the dealers inspect and repair these before selling them from out of their own pocket. Meanwhile, the manufacturers provide a warranty on the certified pre-owned cars. Usually, there are reduced-rate financing options available to interested buyers.

Each car manufacturer has their own take on what it means to buy a CPO vehicle. Click here for more detailed information.

How to Prepare Your Car for a Road Trip

Often, preparing your car for a road trip can be a nerve raking experience. You have to pack up your car with clothes, food, equipment, entertainment, and materials needed for an emergency.

Before you leave, here are a few things that you need to remember:

• Get repairs done: How long has it been since your car's last check-up? Make sure you fixed that taillight that went out or that cracked windshield before you head out on the road.
• How is your tire pressure and tread? Make sure your tires are well inflated and that the tread is good.
• Do you have a spare tire? In the event of a flat tire, make sure you know how to change a flat and also have the material needed to accomplish that in your car.
• Do you have your owners manual and registration? Keep your manual handy in case you have car trouble and have your registration ready in case you get pulled over.
• Is your car clean? Outside and inside? Having a car that is clean inside and out will make it a better experience for the passengers and the clean windows will make it easier for everyone to enjoy the view.
• How's your air filter? Changing your air filter regularly can help with your fuel economy and save you some gas money!
• Do you have a map or a GPS? I know we depend on our smartphones for a quick look at a map, but often we don't get service coverage when we are out exploring. Keeping an old fashioned map handy as well as a GPS can prevent that frantic “oh no, we are lost” moment.
• Do you have car insurance or roadside assistance program? In the event of a breakdown or car accident it is important to have coverage. Do it now so you don't regret it later.
• Are you loading and storing everything evenly? Remember that storing belongings or equipment on the roof rack of your car will decrease fuel economy. Also, distribute heavy items evenly throughout the car.
• Do you have emergency items: jumper cables, flashlight, batteries, a gallon water, first aid kit, blanket, food, sunscreen? It's important to have these items in your car at all times.
• How are your fluids? Oil, transmission, coolant, power steering, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid. All of these help your car run smoothly and efficiently. Remember to check their levels before you head out on the road!

Construction: Hanlees Hilltop Volkswagen

We are in the process of renovating our Hilltop Volkswagen and Hilltop Toyota stores.  

Currently our Volkswagen building is being demolished and will be rebuilt to serve as our new Toyota building.  Our Volkswagen dealership will then move to our current Toyota lot and will get a new building after the old Toyota building has been torn down and rebuilt.  Whew!  That was a lot.  

Both locations will remain open during this progress.  Volkswagen is currently operating out of this snazzy blue trailer.  It's a little cramped, but it will be worth it once our new building is ready. 

It will be a long and stressful process, but we are very excited to see the results.  We want to bring the highest caliber of care to our customers and new spiffy buidlings will contribute to a pleasant experience for all of our visitors as well as our wonderful staff.  So stop by, check out the progress, and chat with us!

We will keep you posted with updates and photographs so you can see our progress and maybe a couple of our stumbles along the way!

How did we get our name?

“Hanlees” comes from the last names of our three owners. Two brothers with the last name: Lee, and their brother-in-law:Han. When we put the two together, we got Hanlees! We believe our name truly represents us as a business that stresses the importance of dedication, hard work, and most importantly: family.
