Frequently Asked Questions
Doug Henry Chevrolet Tarboro
How we sell cars
Three things, mainly. We use One Simple Price — a transparent, market-based price that is the same for every guest, with no negotiation. Our Product Specialists are salaried rather than commissioned, so no one here earns more by selling you something more expensive. And one person handles your purchase from start to finish, including the paperwork. We also serve Rocky Mount, Greenville, Wilson, Raleigh, and Eastern North Carolina with home delivery and at-home test drives.
No, and that is deliberate. The price posted on every vehicle is transparent, market-based, and the same for everyone. There is no better number waiting for whoever negotiates hardest, and no worse one for whoever does not. One Simple Price is not a claim to be the cheapest — it is a commitment that the price is honest and consistent.
No. Our Product Specialists are paid a salary, with bonuses based on guest satisfaction rather than on what you spend. That means no one here is trying to move you to a more expensive vehicle, a longer loan, or products you did not ask for.
No. You work with one Product Specialist from the first conversation through the final paperwork. There is no separate closer and no finance office you have never met.
Pricing and fees
We charge a $788 administrative fee, and it is already included in the price shown on every vehicle page on this website. It is not added afterward. Separate from that, you will pay North Carolina Highway Use Tax and title and registration fees, which are set by the state and vary depending on where you register the vehicle. See our full breakdown of North Carolina car buying fees.
The posted price is the vehicle price including our $788 administrative fee. Taxes, tag, title, and registration are added on top, and vary by where you register. Ask us for a full out-the-door breakdown at any point and we will put it in writing.
Manufacturer programs for military, students, and first responders are available from time to time. These are qualification-based — eligibility and amounts are set by the manufacturer and change with each incentive period, and not every guest qualifies for every program. Where a program applies to a vehicle, it will be shown on that vehicle's page. Ask us and we will check what is currently available.
Yes, and they change regularly. Current vehicle offers, manufacturer incentives, and service coupons are posted on our website. See current Chevrolet offers or view service specials. Incentives are qualification-based and not every guest qualifies for every program.
Shopping, delivery, and trade-ins
Yes. We deliver to Rocky Mount, Greenville, Wilson, Raleigh, and across Eastern North Carolina. Delivery is complimentary within 75 miles. Beyond that a delivery fee applies based on distance — ask us for the figure for your address. Vehicles are driven to you rather than shipped, so delivery mileage is added to the odometer.
Yes. We will bring the vehicle to your home or office at a time that works for you. You can also shop, value your trade, and get pre-approved online before you ever visit.
Yes, and you do not have to buy from us to sell to us. We will appraise your vehicle and make you a straightforward offer either way. The offer is good for 5 days or 300 miles, and if you decide to sell rather than trade, we write a check directly to you. Value your trade or sell us your car.
Eligible retail purchases include our 5-Day / 300-Mile Money-Back Guarantee. As-Traded and Wholesale to the Public vehicles are excluded, and delivery fees are not refundable under the guarantee. Ask us to confirm eligibility on the specific vehicle you are considering.
An As-Traded vehicle is a fresh trade-in sold in the same general condition it arrived. It has passed the North Carolina State Safety Inspection but has had limited or no reconditioning. As-Traded units carry no warranty and are not eligible for our Money-Back Guarantee. We disclose known issues honestly and we welcome you to have your own mechanic inspect the vehicle before you buy. More about As-Traded vehicles.
Financing
Yes. We work with multiple lenders, which means a single application can be reviewed by more than one. You are also welcome to arrange financing through your own bank or credit union — we will tell you plainly if they have beaten what we can arrange. Approval and terms depend on your credit profile and the lender's decision.
Yes. You can complete a secure credit application on our website before visiting. Get pre-approved.
There is no single minimum. Lenders weigh income, job stability, debt-to-income ratio, credit history, and down payment alongside the score itself. The clearest way to find out where you stand is to apply. Read more about credit and auto financing.
Service and parts
Yes. Our technicians are Chevrolet Certified Service trained and complete ongoing manufacturer certification. They service all makes and models, not just Chevrolet.
Yes. Our Service Department works on all makes and models.
Yes. Schedule a service appointment directly on our website, any time.
Most oil changes are completed in under 45 minutes, depending on the vehicle and how busy the shop is. We also recommend a multi-point inspection and tire rotation while the vehicle is with us.
We use manufacturer-approved oils — synthetic, synthetic blend, or conventional depending on what your vehicle requires — with ACDelco filters. GM recommends Mobil 1, which we stock and use where appropriate.
Yes. You can order genuine GM parts and accessories through our Parts Department. Order parts online.
Eligible purchases include two maintenance services plus technology support and follow-up from your Product Specialist. We would rather keep the relationship going than treat your purchase as a transaction.
