JUMP NAVIGATION In this guide: What moved in the last 21 days What is still on the lot today The real monthly difference on pre-owned Sierra 1500 How these trucks get used between now and Labor Day Questions we hear from Tri-State buyers H2: WHAT MOVED What moved in the last 21 days Between June 30 and July 21, thirteen GMC Sierra 1500 trucks left the Moses AutoMall of Huntington lot. Nine of them were brand-new 2026 models. That is the strongest single-model movement we recorded in the window. Buyers did not all choose the same trim. SLE, SLT, Elevation, AT4, and Denali configurations all moved. The common thread was capability that matches real work and real weekends in the Tri-State — not a brochure feature list. See the current new Sierra 1500 selection → H2: STILL HERE What is still on the lot today After that run, Moses AutoMall of Huntington still holds a strong selection of 2026 Sierra 1500 trucks. The remaining units cover Pro, SLE, SLT, Elevation, AT4, and Denali trims in both new and recent pre-owned condition. Across the current stack you will still find the MultiPro six-function tailgate, available Super Cruise on higher trims, and the 3.0L Duramax diesel option rated up to 13,300 lbs when properly equipped. Inventory changes daily, so the live pages are the only accurate source. Browse pre-owned Sierra 1500 inventory → H2: MONTHLY MATH The real monthly difference on pre-owned Sierra 1500 Most people decide by the monthly payment, not a five-year residual chart. Here is the practical difference we walk through with buyers every week. A new 2026 Sierra 1500 in a common mid-trim often lands in the mid-$50,000s to low-$60,000s before incentives. A clean one-to-three-year-old Sierra 1500 with remaining powertrain coverage frequently sits $10,000 to $18,000 lower. On a 60- or 72-month note at current rates, that gap usually equals $180 to $320 less per month before insurance and fuel. The first-year depreciation on a new truck is the largest single cost most owners never see on a payment calculator. Taking a recent pre-owned Sierra absorbs far less of that drop while still delivering MultiPro, available Super Cruise, and factory coverage that still has years left. See your actual monthly number with pre-approval → H2: LOCAL USE How these trucks get used between now and Labor Day Construction in Cabell and Wayne counties does not pause in July. Boat owners still launch on the Ohio River. Families still move students into Marshall University and the surrounding colleges. Sports gear, landscaping trailers, and weekend equipment all travel in the same trucks. The Sierra 1500 configurations that left the lot fastest in the last 21 days were the ones that handled that mix without forcing a compromise. That is why the trucks still sitting here matter. The jobs have not changed. Schedule a no-pressure walk-around → H2: FAQ Questions we hear from Tri-State buyers How much can a 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 tow? Moses AutoMall of Huntington confirms the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 can tow up to 13,300 pounds when properly equipped with the available Duramax diesel and Max Trailering Package. Capacity depends on cab, bed, axle ratio, and equipment. We pull the exact rating for any unit on the lot before you leave. Check current Sierra 1500 towing configurations → Is it better to buy new or used Sierra 1500 in 2026? Moses AutoMall of Huntington runs the monthly numbers with every buyer because the answer depends on how long you keep the truck and what you need it to do. A recent pre-owned Sierra often saves $180–$320 per month while keeping MultiPro and strong remaining warranty. New makes sense when you need a specific configuration that only exists as new.

DIRECT ANSWER LEAD Moses AutoMall of Huntington in Huntington, WV is naming the specific things keeping used car buyers stuck in 2026 — and explaining what we do differently. This is not the same used car market your parents navigated. New vehicles now average around $50,000 with monthly payments crossing $1,000 on 84-month loans, which means the gap between what a used car costs and what a new one costs has gotten uncomfortably narrow. Add in mandatory GPS tracker fees that some dealers bury in the paperwork, finance room add-ons you never asked for, and the growing unease about newer vehicles tracking your every move — and buyers have every reason to feel stuck. We think the fix starts with being honest about what is actually going on. JUMP NAVIGATION In this guide: The actual fears buyers bring into our showroom in 2026 What buyers say out loud vs. what they are really thinking The weird math making used and new prices feel identical What Moses AutoMall does about all of this Next steps that do not require commitment Questions we hear from Tri-State buyers every week H2: REAL FEARS The actual fears buyers bring into our showroom in 2026 Every year has its version of used car anxiety. But 2026 has its own set of problems that did not exist even two years ago, and most dealer websites are still writing about generic fears from 2019. Here is what buyers in Huntington, Barboursville, Ashland, and across the Tri-State are actually worried about right now. The $2,500 GPS tracker fee buried in the paperwork. Some dealers install a GPS anti-theft tracker on every vehicle before you even walk in the door. The device costs them under $100. They charge you $2,500 and call it mandatory. Worse, cheap aftermarket installations frequently cause parasitic battery drain that kills your battery weeks after you drive off. If you see a line item for a “pre-installed anti-theft device” and nobody mentioned it until you sat down to sign — that is the trick. At Moses AutoMall, we do not pre-load vehicles with add-ons designed to pad the deal. The finance room gauntlet. You agree on a price. You feel good. Then you sit in the finance office and get hit with extended warranties, paint protection, tire packages, and gap insurance you never asked about. Buyers call this the “finance room scare tactics” because the presentation is designed to make you feel reckless for declining. Our finance team at Moses AutoMall explains every option clearly and respects a “no” the first time you say it. Get pre-approved before you visit so you already know your numbers → Newer vehicles that feel like they are watching you. This one is growing fast. Buyers are actively seeking out older, simpler vehicles because they do not want a car that tracks their location, monitors their driving habits, or could be remotely disabled by a software update. The fear of a vehicle “spying on them” is pushing demand toward pre-2024 models with fewer connected features. We understand why. If you want a vehicle that is just a vehicle — no subscription apps, no mandatory data sharing — we can match you with options in our inventory that fit that need. The “give us all 10s or I lose my bonus” pressure. After you buy, some dealerships coach you to rate everything a perfect 10 on the manufacturer satisfaction survey. They frame it as a personal favor. Some intentionally misspell your email address so negative feedback never reaches the manufacturer. This CSI survey manipulation makes buyers feel like the entire post-purchase relationship is performative. We would rather earn a real review than game a survey. Read what real buyers say about working with our team → H2: SAYS VS THINKS What buyers say out loud vs. what they are really thinking Buyers rarely say exactly what they mean when they are sitting across from a salesperson. Understanding the gap between the polite version and the real version is how we serve people better instead of just selling harder. What They Say What They Are Actually Thinking What We Do Instead “Can I see the Carfax?” “I do not trust you to tell me if this thing has been wrecked.” History reports are available upfront. We walk through them with you and explain anything flagged. “I need to think about it.” “I feel cornered and I want to leave before I get talked into something.” We never chase. Come back tomorrow, next week, or not at all. Your decision, your timeline. “What is the out-the-door price?” “I have been burned by add-on fees at the last dealership and I am not doing that again.” We break down every cost line by line. If you question a charge, we explain it or remove it. “I might just buy new instead.” “Used prices are so close to new that I do not see the point of buying someone else’s problem.” We run the real numbers — total cost of ownership, not just sticker — and show you where used actually saves money and where it does not. “Do you have anything without all the tech stuff?” “I do not want a car that tracks me, uploads my data, or needs a subscription to start.” We carry a range of model years. If you want something simple, we will match you with it instead of upselling you into features you actively do not want. None of these fears are irrational. Every single one comes from something that has happened to real people at real dealerships. The question is not whether the fear is valid — it is whether the dealer you are talking to will acknowledge it or pretend it does not exist. Browse our inventory with full pricing and details visible before you visit → Is it normal to feel scared when buying a used car in 2026? Moses AutoMall of Huntington in Huntington, WV confirms that buying anxiety is completely normal — especially in 2026 when the market feels this unpredictable. You are not being paranoid. You are spending $25,000 to $35,000 on something you cannot fully evaluate in a 15-minute test drive while navigating a market where used prices are uncomfortably close to new. The fix is not to suppress the anxiety. It is to work with a dealership that gives you real information so you can make a decision you feel good about six months from now. Schedule a no-pressure visit → H2: NEW VS USED The weird math making used and new prices feel identical Here is the part most dealer blogs will not say out loud. New vehicle transaction prices have pushed past $50,000 on average. Monthly payments on new cars are now exceeding $1,000, stretched across 84-month loans that keep buyers underwater for years. That sticker shock is driving people toward used vehicles — but used prices have climbed alongside them, with the average pre-owned vehicle selling near $27,000. The result is a market that feels broken. Buyers look at a three-year-old SUV priced at $32,000, then look at the new version at $48,000, and think: “Why would I pay that much for someone else’s problem when I could pay a little more and get it new?” Some are walking away from used entirely. Others are stretching into new loans they cannot sustain. Neither choice feels right because the math does not work the way it used to. At Moses AutoMall, we sit down and run the actual total cost of ownership with you — not just sticker price, but insurance, depreciation hit in year one versus year three, maintenance costs by mileage, and what your real monthly budget looks like at current rates. Sometimes used is the smarter play by a wide margin. Sometimes new genuinely makes more sense for your situation. We will tell you either way because a buyer who trusts the process comes back. A buyer who feels tricked does not. See what you actually qualify for before deciding → Is it better to buy used or new in 2026? Moses AutoMall of Huntington in Huntington, WV runs the real numbers with every buyer because the answer depends entirely on your specific situation. With new vehicle averages near $50,000 and used near $27,000, the gap is narrower than it has been in years. But sticker price is not the whole picture. A two-to-three-year-old vehicle with 30,000 miles has already absorbed the steepest depreciation, which means your dollar goes further even if the price tag feels close. We walk through insurance, maintenance, and loan terms so you see the full cost — not just the number on the window. Compare our current pre-owned pricing → H2: MOSES DIFFERENT What Moses AutoMall does about all of this Saying “we are different” means nothing unless we can point to what, specifically, we do that the dealership down the road does not. Here is the short version. No pre-loaded add-ons. We do not install GPS trackers, nitrogen tire fills, or paint sealants before you walk in and then tell you the charge is mandatory. If you want those products, we will sell them to you. If you do not, they will not appear on your paperwork. Finance transparency. Our finance team presents options and respects your answer. No four-square worksheets designed to confuse you. No cycling through managers until you say yes out of exhaustion. You can review everything at your own pace, and we will explain every line on the contract before you sign anything. Get pre-approved online so you walk in knowing your terms → Vehicle history upfront. Every pre-owned vehicle has its documentation available before you ask. We walk through it with you, explain any flags, and welcome independent pre-purchase inspections. A dealership that resists transparency is telling you something — and it is not something good. No CSI manipulation. We do not coach you on survey answers, we do not guilt you about bonuses, and we do not misspell your email to dodge negative feedback. We would rather fix a real problem than fake a perfect score. What are dealer add-on fees and how do I avoid them? Moses AutoMall of Huntington in Huntington, WV does not pre-load vehicles with mandatory add-ons like GPS trackers, paint protection, or nitrogen tire fills. Dealer add-on fees are charges for products installed on the vehicle before you arrive, then presented as non-negotiable during the signing process. The most common in 2026 is the anti-theft GPS tracker — a device that costs the dealer under $100 but gets billed at $1,500 to $2,500. At Moses AutoMall, if a product is optional, it stays optional. You choose what you want. See our transparent pricing → H2: NEXT STEPS Next steps that do not require commitment You do not owe anyone a decision today. Every step you take before walking onto a lot gives you more leverage in the conversation: checking your trade value tells you how much equity you are working with, getting pre-approved tells you what rate and term you actually qualify for, and browsing inventory online lets you arrive already knowing which vehicles fit your budget instead of being steered toward whatever the dealer wants to move. All of those steps are free, take ten minutes each, and put you in control before anyone tries to take it.

Some families need room for kids, pets, and luggage. Some drivers need a truck bed for work, towing, or weekend projects. Some just want a clean pre-owned vehicle that feels steady on I-64, Route 60, Route 2, and the bridges between Huntington, Barboursville, Ashland, and Ironton. At Moses AutoMall of Huntington, that is the conversation we want to have first. Not pressure. Not a guessing game. Just a simple look at your budget, trade, driving habits, and the kind of vehicle that fits your week. Quick Navigation — Jump to Any Section: Why summer used SUV and truck shopping feels different in 2026 Should you look at a used SUV or a used truck first? What Travis checks before a road-trip vehicle makes sense Local fit for Huntington, Barboursville, Ashland, and Ironton drivers Easy next steps Common questions Source list Why summer used SUV and truck shopping feels different in 2026 Summer shopping is not just about finding something shiny on the lot. It is about timing, availability, and confidence. Cox Automotive reported in mid-June 2026 that wholesale used-vehicle values were still running higher than the year before, which means good used vehicles remain competitive. Kelley Blue Book also reported that the average new-vehicle transaction price in May 2026 was still near the upper end of the market, at more than $49,000. That matters because many local shoppers are comparing a new-car payment against a used SUV or truck that may fit the family budget better. Then add travel. AAA forecasted roughly 45 million Memorial Day travelers in 2026, with most of those trips happening by car. Around Huntington, that makes sense. A lot of families here drive for long weekends, youth sports, lake trips, camping, college visits, and visits with family across West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. When the vehicle is going to carry people you care about, condition matters more than hype. That is why a used SUV or truck should be looked at in plain language. Does it have the space you need? Does it fit your payment range? Does the history make sense? Is the mileage reasonable for how you drive? Does the vehicle feel comfortable on a test drive? Those questions are more useful than chasing the biggest discount headline. Start here: if you need enclosed space, third-row seating, or easier family loading, visit our used SUV inventory. If you need bed space, towing strength, or a crew cab for both work and family use, start with our used crew cab pickup inventory. Should you look at a used SUV or a used truck first? A used SUV usually makes the most sense when your daily life is built around passengers, school bags, groceries, pets, and road-trip luggage. A used truck usually makes the most sense when your week includes hauling, towing, tools, property work, or outdoor gear. There is overlap, especially with crew cab pickups, but the better first choice depends on what you do most often. If this sounds like you Start with Why it may fit Family trips, daily school runs, groceries, pets, and luggage Used SUVs Enclosed cargo room, available third-row seating, easier passenger comfort Home projects, towing, work needs, camping gear, or a boat Used crew cab trucks Truck bed utility, towing strength, room for passengers in crew cab models I-64 commuting with weekend travel SUV or truck, based on budget and mileage Comfort, fuel economy, service history, and tire condition should guide the final pick Shopping with a trade and a set monthly-payment target Trade value plus finance pre-approval The right vehicle depends on the real numbers, not just the sticker price One reason local shoppers like crew cab trucks is that they can do two jobs. They can carry family during the week and still handle mulch, tools, furniture, or a trailer on the weekend. One reason local shoppers like SUVs is that they keep luggage and passengers protected from weather, which matters when summer storms roll through the Ohio River Valley. What Travis checks before a road-trip vehicle makes sense When someone tells us they are buying before a July road trip, a beach drive, a lake weekend, or a family visit, we slow the conversation down. The goal is not just to sell a vehicle. The goal is to help the shopper feel clear about why that vehicle fits. 1. Seating and cargo space It sounds simple, but this is where many shoppers start too late. Bring the stroller, cooler, sports bags, or luggage if you need to. Sit in the second row. Check the third row if the SUV has one. Open the liftgate. Look at the truck bed. A vehicle can look right online and still feel too tight in real life. 2. Tires, brakes, and road feel For Huntington-area driving, tires and brakes matter. Hills, rain, construction zones, river roads, and interstate traffic can all show you how a used vehicle really feels. During a test drive, listen for noise, feel how it tracks, and ask questions if something does not feel right. 3. Mileage and ownership story Mileage by itself is not the whole story. A well-kept vehicle with steady service history may make more sense than a lower-mileage vehicle with questions. Ask about the history, condition, and available records. If you are comparing two similar SUVs or trucks, the cleaner story often wins. 4. Payment fit A good used vehicle should still fit the household. If the payment stretches the budget too far, it is not the right deal. That is why it helps to use the finance page early and check your trade value before you fall in love with one vehicle. 5. Real use after the road trip Do not buy for one weekend only. Buy for the months after it. Think about winter, school schedules, work, fuel costs, parking, and service needs. A used SUV or truck should still make sense after the suitcases are unpacked. Helpful shortcut: if you are trying to keep the deal simple, look through used vehicle specials first, then compare those options against the SUV and crew cab pickup pages. Local fit for Huntington, Barboursville, Ashland, and Ironton drivers Huntington used-car shoppers are not shopping in a vacuum. Cabell County, Barboursville, Milton, Wayne County, Ashland, Ironton, and the larger Tri-State area all feed into the same daily driving pattern. People cross state lines for work, school, healthcare, family, shopping, and service appointments. That creates a practical need for vehicles that can handle mixed driving. If you live around Huntington ZIP codes like 25701, 25702, 25703, 25704, or 25705, an SUV may be the easier daily fit if parking, passengers, and cargo are your main concerns. If you are coming from Barboursville, Milton, Wayne, or the rural edges of the market, a truck may make more sense if you regularly haul, tow, or drive property roads. For Ashland and Ironton shoppers, it often comes down to whether you want the extra cargo protection of an SUV or the open utility of a pickup. This is also where Moses AutoMall of Huntington has a practical advantage. You can compare used SUVs, used trucks, trade value, finance options, and specials from one local store site instead of bouncing between generic listings that do not explain the next step. See used SUVs near Huntington | See used crew cab pickups near Huntington Easy next steps if you are ready to compare If you are still early, start with the body style. SUV or truck. Then narrow by payment, mileage, year, features, and trade value. If you are closer to buying, send the vehicle in, ask a question, or start financing before visiting. That saves time at the store and helps the team prepare around what you actually want. Shop and compare: Used SUVs near Huntington, WV Used crew cab pickups near Huntington, WV Used vehicle specials Finance application Value your trade Common questions from local used SUV and truck shoppers Is a used SUV better than a used truck for a family road trip? Usually, yes, if your main needs are passenger comfort, enclosed cargo room, and easier loading. A used truck may be better if you need towing, bed space, or a crew cab that can handle both family and work needs. Should I get pre-approved before I test drive? It helps. Pre-approval gives you a clearer budget before you compare vehicles. You can start on the Moses AutoMall of Huntington finance page and then match the payment range to the right SUV or truck. Can my trade help me move into a better used SUV or truck? Yes. A trade can change the real buying picture. Before you shop too far, use the trade tool so the team can help you compare options with better numbers. Do I need to shop only in Huntington if I live in Ashland or Ironton? No. Many Tri-State shoppers compare vehicles across West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. Moses AutoMall of Huntington is a practical stop if you want to compare used SUVs, used trucks, financing, and trade options in one place. Why not just shop the biggest used-car lot in the area? Selection matters, but fit matters more. The right used SUV or truck should match your budget, driving habits, family needs, trade situation, and comfort level. A smaller, more focused set of vehicles can still be the better place to start if the team helps you compare clearly. Final thought from Travis A used vehicle should make your life easier. If you are shopping for a summer trip, start with the trip, but do not stop there. Think about the Monday after the trip too. Think about work, school, fuel, parking, service, and your monthly budget. When those pieces line up, the right SUV or truck gets a lot easier to see.

Print Coupon Schedule Now INTRO Trish Marnix has been running the service drive at Moses AutoMall long enough to know exactly what June looks like on a lift. Brake rotors that made it through winter by a thread. Batteries that started fine in February because the cold never got bad enough to expose how weak they actually were. Coolant levels that haven't been touched since the previous summer. It's not that people neglect their vehicles on purpose — it's that most of the things that fail in July give no warning in May. A multi-point inspection doesn't fix anything. That's not what it's for. What it does is give you a honest picture of where your vehicle actually stands — before you're broken down on US-60 in 90-degree heat with a trailer behind you, or stranded on I-64 somewhere between Huntington and Charleston. Through June 30, 2026, Moses AutoMall is offering that inspection for free. Here is exactly what it covers and why every item on that checklist matters more in summer than any other time of year.

OEM Parts vs. Aftermarket — Why It Matters at a Franchise Store How to Schedule and What to Expect SECTION 1 What a Multi-Point Inspection Actually Covers The MPI at Moses AutoMall is a structured visual and operational check performed by GM-, Cadillac-, and Nissan-trained technicians — not a courtesy wash and a handshake. Every vehicle that comes through the service drive on a free MPI gets the same treatment as a paid maintenance visit in terms of what gets eyes on it. The checklist breaks into six primary systems: System What Gets Checked Summer Risk Level Brakes Pad thickness, rotor condition, brake fluid level and color, caliper operation HIGH Battery & Electrical Cold-cranking amp test, terminal condition, alternator output, charging system check HIGH Cooling System Coolant level and condition, hose integrity, radiator inspection, thermostat operation CRITICAL Tires Tread depth (all four), sidewall condition, inflation pressure, rotation recommendation MEDIUM Fluid Levels Engine oil, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, windshield washer fluid MEDIUM Lights & Wipers All exterior lighting, wiper blade condition and coverage, washer nozzle operation LOW The result of the inspection is a written report — green (good), yellow (monitor), or red (address now) for each system. There's no pressure attached to it. If everything comes back green, you leave with confidence. If something comes back yellow or red, you have the information you need to make a decision before it becomes a roadside problem. Trish's team writes it straight. That's the standard here. SECTION 2 The Battery Check — Why Summer Kills More Batteries Than Winter SECOND OFFER BLOCK — BATTERY Current Offer — Expires June 30, 2026 FREE Battery Check Come in today and we will check your battery for free! Charges for additional parts or service may apply. Cannot be combined with any other offer. Schedule Battery Check Most people know cold weather is hard on batteries. What they don't know is that heat is actually the primary cause of battery failure — cold just reveals the damage that summer already did. Heat accelerates the chemical reaction inside a lead-acid battery, which speeds up internal corrosion and degrades the plates. A battery that barely made it through last summer may have enough charge to start your vehicle every morning in May, and then fail completely on the first 95-degree day in July when the alternator is working overtime to power the AC compressor. The free battery check at Moses is a load test, not just a voltage reading. A voltage reading will tell you a battery has charge. A load test tells you whether the battery can actually deliver enough cold-cranking amps under demand — which is the only number that matters when you turn the key. Most auto parts stores do this test, but they're selling you a battery at the end of it. At Moses, the battery check is a diagnostic, and if your battery is fine, that's exactly what we tell you. SECTION 3 The Systems That Fail Most in a West Virginia Summer The Tri-State area has a specific summer profile that isn't the same as Louisville or Columbus. High humidity, significant temperature swings between morning and afternoon, river valley heat retention in Huntington proper, and a road network that includes everything from smooth divided highway on US-60 to rough two-lane county roads through Wayne and Lincoln counties. That combination puts particular stress on specific vehicle systems that don't get the same attention they would in a more moderate climate. Failure Why It Happens in WV Summers Warning Signs Coolant system overheating River valley heat retention + AC load on engine; degraded coolant can't hold pH, corrodes from inside Temp gauge climbing, sweet smell from engine bay, white steam Tire blowout Hot asphalt raises tire temp 30–50°F above ambient; already under-inflated or worn tires fail under that added stress Tread wear indicator visible, sidewall cracking, pulling to one side AC compressor failure First heavy use of the season after sitting idle; refrigerant leaks from dried seals, compressor clutch failure from load cycling Weak or warm airflow, clicking or grinding at startup, AC cutting in and out Brake fade West Virginia grades + already-thin brake pads = heat-induced fade; moisture-contaminated brake fluid lowers boiling point Soft pedal on repeated stops, burning smell on downhill, vibration under braking Battery failure Heat accelerates internal corrosion; combined with AC electrical load, marginal batteries give out without warning Slow crank, dash warning light, headlights dim at idle SECTION 4 MPI vs. WV State Inspection — What's the Difference? This is one of the most common questions Trish gets at the service counter. West Virginia requires an annual safety inspection — a state-mandated check performed by a licensed inspection station. The Moses MPI is not that, and the coupon language is clear: the free offer is for the multi-point inspection only, not the official state inspection. Here is how they differ: Item WV State Inspection Moses AutoMall MPI Required by law ✓ Annual No — advisory only Issues a certificate/sticker ✓ No Includes engine, battery, cooling system Partial ✓ Full Fluid level checks Limited ✓ All fluids Performed by State-licensed station OEM-certified tech Cost through June 30, 2026 Varies (~$15–$20) FREE Think of the state inspection as the legal minimum and the MPI as the complete picture. You need both, and they serve different purposes. If your WV sticker is current, that's your legal obligation covered. The MPI tells you whether your vehicle is actually ready for 10,000 summer miles in the Ohio River valley. SECTION 5 OEM Parts vs. Aftermarket — Why It Matters at a Franchise Store When the inspection comes back with a recommendation, the next question is always where the parts come from. At Moses AutoMall, the answer for Cadillac, GMC, and Nissan vehicles is straightforward: we use OEM-sourced components ordered through the manufacturer's direct parts system. Adam Adkins runs the Parts Department and has been doing it long enough to know what comes back and what doesn't. OEM parts are engineered to the tolerances of your specific vehicle — the same engineering team that designed the component specified the replacement part. Aftermarket parts aren't automatically inferior, but they introduce a variable that OEM parts don't: fit tolerance. A brake rotor that's a few thousandths of an inch off spec causes vibration. A coolant hose with a slightly different elasticity rating blows at higher temps. For routine consumables like wiper blades and air filters, aftermarket is often fine. For brake components, cooling system parts, and electrical components on modern vehicles with complex management systems — OEM is the right call, and it's what Moses installs by default unless you specifically request otherwise. Moses's parts ordering for GMC and Cadillac vehicles goes through GM's direct dealer parts program, and Nissan parts are ordered through the Moses Parts & Accessories portal, which connects to manufacturer-authenticated OEM inventory. You can also order Nissan parts directly at moses-nissan.com, or browse the GMC and Cadillac accessories catalogs tied to Moses's dealer account at mosesmeansmore.com/partsandaccessories. SECTION 6 How to Schedule and What to Expect The Moses service department is open Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Walk-ins are welcome for the free MPI and battery check, but scheduling ahead of time reduces wait time, especially on Monday mornings and the days before a holiday weekend — both of which are the service drive's busiest windows. Day Service Hours Parts Hours Monday – Friday 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM Saturday 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM Sunday Closed Closed When you come in, tell the service advisor you're there for the free multi-point inspection or free battery check — or both, since they're separate offers and can be completed in the same visit. Bring the coupon from the Service & Parts Specials page or show the offer on your phone. The inspection itself typically takes 30–45 minutes. The battery check is faster — usually under 15 minutes if the service drive isn't backed up.

Walk-ins are accepted, but scheduling ahead of time is recommended to minimize your wait. Use the online scheduler or call the service department directly. Offer expires June 30, 2026. Does the free MPI cover my West Virginia state inspection? No. The free multi-point inspection is a dealer service advisory check. It is not an official West Virginia state vehicle inspection. State inspections require a licensed inspection station and result in a certificate and windshield sticker. The MPI and state inspection are separate services. Can I use both the MPI and battery check in one visit? Yes. The free multi-point inspection and free battery check are separate offers that can be completed during the same service visit. Bring or show both coupons. Charges may apply for any additional parts or services recommended as a result of the inspection. What vehicles does Moses service? Moses AutoMall's service department performs maintenance and repairs on Cadillac, GMC, and Nissan vehicles with OEM-certified technicians.
