Test driving is now also permitted in the province, given that the vehicle allows for social distancing inside or if a 2-car convoy is arranged. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will I Still Be Able To Purchase Gas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_739698184-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"buying car gas\" class=\"wp-image-3201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_739698184-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_739698184-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_739698184-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_739698184-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_739698184-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_739698184-187x125.jpg 187w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Access to petrol is considered a necessity for employees who aren\u2019t telecommunicating.

Here are a few quick tips to help you get a great deal while staying completely safe.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips For Online Car Shopping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many dealers offer a 100% online purchase option for new and used vehicles. Carpages is a dealership aggregator that prioritizes safety and convenience when buying from home. Our online inventory is chock-full of information on every vehicle we stock and will allow you to e-sign documents when needed. Depending on your proximity to any particular dealership, we can also arrange for local test drive deliveries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips For Used Car Shopping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to used car shopping, research is key. We help you take a look at a particular model\u2019s history and whether it may have reoccurring issues that involve transmission, steering, or engine functionality. We provide you with data on any repairs a vehicle might\u2019ve undergone, its former maintenance schedule, and any recalls. It\u2019s important to inspect a used vehicle yourself before you purchase it \u2013&nbsp;so if you want to prioritize a local test drive delivery, we can do that for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips For Leasing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially now, leasing a car can make for risky business. There are a lot of variables to consider; including&nbsp;how much mileage you might get out of it, whether you\u2019ll choose to make any modifications to it, and whether you\u2019ll need it for longer than anticipated. Given the secondary epidemic of financial instability, leasing may not be the best option for you right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips For Selling Your Car<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that today\u2019s number one priority is social distancing, selling a car can be complicated and very demanding. You\u2019ll have to determine your car\u2019s value with an appraiser and repair parts that aren\u2019t functioning as well as they should be. This could mean spending more than what you might potentially profit on restoration. If it isn\u2019t a necessity, selling your car may not be a good option right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Disinfect Your Vehicle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_1701937765-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"disinfecting your vehicle during covid19\" class=\"wp-image-3219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_1701937765-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_1701937765-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_1701937765-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_1701937765-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_1701937765-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/assets.carpages.ca\/prod-blog\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shutterstock_1701937765-187x125.jpg 187w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether or not you\u2019re purchasing a new vehicle, keeping your existing one spotless is important when it comes to avoiding any virus transmission. Here\u2019s how you can <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carpages.ca\/blog\/disinfect-your-car-without-damage\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>disinfect your vehicle<\/strong><\/a> safely and without damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Sure Your Car Is Empty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Empty out your seats, glove compartment, dashboard, and cupholders. You don\u2019t want anything to get in the way of your cleaning tools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vacuum The Seats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Run through every surface with a vacuum. Dirt or residue can build up in your carpets, making it harder for disinfectants to do their job thoroughly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Soap And Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Soap is an effective tool when it comes to washing oils away and is, in itself, a powerful disinfectant. Suds and bubbles can keep any traces of the virus from clinging to surfaces in your car.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Alcohol And Disinfectants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use isopropyl alcohol with a concentration of 60 &#8211; 90% to wipe down the areas you touch most in your vehicle. If your car has leather seats, you might want to consider a leather-friendly disinfectant instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leave Your Car Under The Sun<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave your car out under the sun to dry completely. If you didn\u2019t already know, UV rays have excellent disinfecting properties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Buy A Car Right Now In Ontario?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, however, you\u2019re going to want to do so as responsibly as possible.
