Used hybrid and EV prices are falling, and it’s more than a year-end dip.

New data shows prices dropped faster than other used vehicles in December as clean-vehicle tax incentives wind down and demand cools. With more inventory hitting lots, used hybrids and EVs could stay competitively priced into 2026, giving buyers more leverage.

Hybrids and EVs Are Shifting in Price—What the Latest Used Car Data Show Heading Into 2026 As incentive-driven demand has bottomed out and supply has been hitting lots, buyers potentially have more negotiating power for hybrids and electric vehicles (EVs).

Thank you for trusting us with your vehicles, supporting a local family business, and being part of our story year after year. We’re grateful for this community and the relationships we’ve built along the way. Wishing you a safe, warm, and happy holiday spent with the people who matter most. 🎄

Why would anyone ever take their car to a dealership for service?

Seriously.

Look at these two receipts.

The bottom one is the dealership quote.

Before saying yes, we asked ChatGPT what this repair should cost.

That’s when we realized we were about to get scammed.

So we found a local mechanic who did the exact same work for more than half of what the dealership wanted.

Same repairs
Same parts
Same outcome

The only difference was the price.

Wild how a five-minute check can save you hundreds.

Lesson learned.

🎁 Thinking about giving car parts or accessories for Christmas?
It’s an awesome gift idea, but there are a few things to keep an eye on before you click “add to cart.”

Here’s what to watch out for when buying parts online this holiday season:

🔧 Check compatibility
Make sure the part actually fits the year, make, and model of the vehicle. Even small variations can make a big difference.

🛑 Beware of knockoffs
If the price seems too good to be true, it usually is. Low-quality parts can lead to bigger problems down the road.

📦 Pay attention to return policies
Some aftermarket sites make returns a nightmare. Double-check the fine print in case the part isn’t right.

💬 Not sure what to get? Ask us first
We’re always happy to confirm compatibility, suggest reliable brands, or help you avoid a costly mistake.

Thanksgiving Road Trip Tips from your neighborhood experts!

Give your car a pre-trip check.
Fluids, brakes, tire pressure, lights — a quick once-over now beats a breakdown later. Swing by Stup’s if you want us to handle it for you.

Pack an emergency kit.
A blanket, jumper cables, flashlight, snacks, and a phone charger can turn an unexpected delay into no big deal.

Map your route before you go.
Holiday traffic gets real. Check conditions, choose backup routes, and give yourself extra time so you’re not rushing.

Don’t ignore those dashboard lights.
If something pops on before you leave, let us take a look. A small issue before the trip can become a big headache on the highway.

We keep an eye on the Maryland CHART incident map to stay ahead of what’s happening on the roads — and you should too.
