Today we’re going to talk about “green flags” & “red flags” when buying a car so that you can make a wise, reliable purchase. Whether you buy a car with MATS or at another source, here are some key indicators to look out for.

Paws & Think is thrilled to announce a huge milestone in our organization’s history – we’ve officially purchased our first van! This achievement would not have been possible without the incredible help from our friends at MATS.

After you’ve purchased your new car from MATS, it’s a great idea to find a local mechanic that you trust, who knows you and your vehicle. Caring for your car well is one of the ways you can get the most longevity out of it!  Finding a good mechanic can seem overwhelming, but don’t worry. Follow these tips to help you find someone reliable and skilled.

Buying a car is exciting, but the costs don’t stop once you take delivery. Let’s talk about the key expenses you should expect after purchasing your new vehicle.

With interest rates starting to drop, now is an excellent time to explore your options for financing a vehicle.

Let’s talk about pricing and the notorious need to haggle over your car sale.

Imagine you’re at the grocery store. You need milk, bananas, apples, and a few items for tonight’s dinner. After grabbing the produce, you head to the cooler section for milk and find that it is full price today. That is to say, the milk is priced at market value.

The MATS car-buying model heavily focuses on minimizing our clients’ risk purchasing vehicles. We do this in a few ways.

Clients often ask us to help them find a reliable vehicle for under $10,000. MATS President Sara Trombley talks about this type of purchase on our Youtube channel.
