ing the recalls on the car and whether or not they have been done. One thing that surprised me after purchasing the car was finding out that some of the recalls were actually expiring pretty quickly, so I needed to get the car in and it's very easy, all you need to do is get the VIN number. Now the VIN number is located right above the windshield wiper here and then just go to my.

bolt

that now needs to be attached.

This car will have a manufacturing date, this was October 2017. The reason why that's important is that I think it's every year until about September 2017, the battery pack was basically replaced due to a problem with it, so that's important to

know

. What's there and just take a look, was that the withdrawal actually happened or not. Okay, we're almost done with the tips and this tip is about the front end and the damage. This is something I didn't notice until I got the car home and realized I want some other

bolt

s on the road. On this car, you have the front bumper, but you have this little plastic bumper here and it's separate from this piece.

It is held in place with a bunch of clips. Mine was actually out. from the clips here, so it indicates that it was something that hit it or it caught on something that I was able to pry up again, but if you listen closely, you hear all that sound, the car, the front end makes a lot of sound on my car now. You can't hear it when it's driving, I only hear it when I'm washing it, but that tells me that a lot of the clips are misaligned due to basically some kind of impact which I've also noticed on other bolts than this plastic rack here, although not you can tell there is some damage, a bunch of these little pieces broke off and I talked to the owner, it actually hit a raccoon and completely destroyed them, but it didn't. kept the rest the same, just know that if you're looking at a car if you want to have an indication of whether it's had any kind of minor damage, look closely, press to see the sound it makes a lot. of sound maybe look for these little broken clips and make sure this little skirt here is all clipped looks good, okay, we get to number 10 10. and this is going to be kind of a two-in-one package for but there are some accessories that I would suggest that you you get in the car and they can't really be added after the fact.

First up are the roof rails. These roof rails either come on the car or they don't. I read about someone who installed them after which sounded like a huge job. I wouldn't recommend doing this and if your car doesn't have them you can get roof rails or ones that will clip in here. I just feel like they add up. a lot of extra wind noise and it reduces your efficiency it just doesn't look that good so really look for the bolt and it's very easy there is always an external picture of the car, does it have the roof rails or not, now the safety package the safety package In this car it has a lot of

things

like basically automatic braking if you get too close to someone, lane keeping assist and it also has a warning system if it notices that a car in front of you is braking too hard and you.

You're still moving very fast, now it's going to show you that it's a warning screen that's actually shining on the windshield for you, so all you need to do is look over the vin and you'll see this little hole here that's a spotlight to The advertisement. show so if the car has that it has a simple safety package and I would highly recommend looking for a car or bolt with that as you can get some serious insurance discounts if you have it right that's it we managed to overcome the 10 Tips that I have before you on the use of Chevrolet Bolt.

Now I will say goodbye to you with one last thing. A pro tip, let's say, is that if you buy a Chevrolet Bolt, a

used

one, call Onstar immediately, there's just a little button on the car. You press and it will transfer ownership to you. It's a very easy process and in some cases, they will give you a free test or the car could have several years of service. It's great to have a lot of software updates that can happen, uh, on the main center console, which goes through the Onstar system and yeah, it gives you very good access through an app on your phone, like through the My app.

Chevrolet, so definitely, if you buy the car, call and get started right away and they just transfer you. It's up to you, then you are the real owner. Well, thank you all for watching. I hope it helped you check out my other videos and yeah, happy riding.
