Does A Diesel Vehicle Save You Money?

Diesel gets better fuel economy, but that doesn’t always make for a better value over gas. For starters Diesel is pricier at an average of $5,045 more than a gas powered version. On top of that the vehicle tends to cost a bit more to own and maintain. There comes added expense and maintenance in replenishing the reservoirs to make sure the engine runs correctly. The new technology makes for a cleaner diesel, more than many gasoline vehicles.

Diesels make up almost 4 percent of US vehicle sales, but popularity is growing. Sales jumped 27.5 percent in the first half of this year; compared with 14.9 percent increase in total new vehicle sales. The appeal comes from the infrequency in needing to fill up. Some can go up to 700 miles before another fill up. The vehicles drive well and engines deliver great acceleration. On the other hand, the higher initial cost and extra service could even out the gas savings. More diesel options are coming; up to double in the next five years as automakers introduce new models.

Chevys latest diesel vehicle the Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel goes beyond your typical compact car. With up to 46 MPG† highway, Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel gets the best highway fuel economy of any gasoline or diesel car in America†. Plus, Cruze is the first car in its class with 10 standard airbags†, helping earn the 2014 Cruze a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score† from NHTSA. Chevrolet 2-Year Scheduled Maintenance coverage† includes oil and oil filter changes, 4-wheel tire rotation and a 27-point vehicle inspection and comes standard with the purchase or lease of a 2014 Cruze.

When choosing a vehicle one must look at the long term such as those that drive 15,000 miles a year or more tend to offset initial diesel vehicle costs faster. As with deciding between leasing vs. buying, one must look at their current needs and lifestyle. How long you keep a vehicle and how much you drive is important to know. 

Can you guess the movie?

We love a good holiday movie! We've compiled quotes from a holiday classic, and we want you to guess where they are from! Are you up for the challenge? Let's get started!

"This house is so full of people it makes me sick. When I grow up and get married, I'm living alone. Did you hear me?"

"Keep the change, ya filthy animal!"

"How can you give Kris Kringle a parking ticket on Christmas Eve? What's next, rabies shots for the Easter Bunny?"

"Merry Christmas, little fella. We know that you're in there, and that you're all alone." 

Rocking around a REAL Christmas tree this year? Here's how to get your tree (and your Chevy) home in one piece!

If getting from point A to point B has held you back from gracing your home with an authentic Christmas tree, worry no more!  Keep these simple steps in mind and you'll be rocking around it in no time.

PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE: Ward off scratches and loose pine needs by placing the tree on top of an old blanket in your cargo area

BE PREPARED: If you’re going to haul your Christmas tree on your roof, you must have a roof rack so you can secure the tree to cargo hooks.  Be sure to give everything a steady tug or two before you hit the road so you know it is securely fastened.

TRUCK TIP: Remember that there could be hotspots in the bed of a truck!  If you are using the back of a pickup to transport your tree, be mindful of the damage it might suffer if exposed to the heat of the exhaust pipe.

Got it all strapped in?  Give it a tug once or twice to make sure it’s secure, and you’re on your way!  Remember to use common sense rules such as avoiding the freeway, adjusting for lost rear-view visibility, and keeping your speed in check.

Winter Travel Tips

We wanted to share some winter driving tips from the Iowa DOT.  As with most tips some may be considered common sense, but much of the advice below you may not have even considered!

Simple and Quick Tips For Driving On Snowy/Icy Roads:

-- Do not use cruise control.

-- Keep a safe distance from vehicles in adjacent lanes as strong wind gusts could push a vehicle outside its lane of travel.

-- Be aware that ramps and bridges may freeze before other roadway segments.

-- Put a safe distance between your vehicle, and the vehicle a head  in case sudden driving maneuvers are necessary.

-- Take extra care if driving a high-profile vehicle such as a truck, van, or sports utility vehicle, or when towing a trailer, as these vehicles are more prone to be pushed or even flipped by wind gusts.

-- Your vehicle’s headlights are a valuable asset when driving in winter weather. Turn them on to see and be seen.

-- If your vehicle begins to slide, take your foot off the gas pedal and shift into neutral, or if you have a manual transmission, depress the clutch. While it may be a natural instinct to slam on your brakes, this may cause your vehicle to slide further and result in loss of vehicle control. Tap the brake pedal lightly.

-- If you have an idea that there may be ice ahead (if you see vehicles ahead of you sliding, for example), downshift to a lower gear before you come onto the ice. The lower gear will force you to drive more slowly and give you better control of your vehicle.

-- If your vehicle does begin to skid on the ice, turn the wheel in the direction of the skid. This should help to steer your vehicle back on the right track.

-- Do not think you are invincible just because you drive a four-wheel drive truck or sports utility vehicle. Four-wheel drive vehicles have no advantage over other vehicles when it comes to driving on ice.

DOT officials said winter driving is always unpredictable, so be PREPARED for the unexpected. 

Keep your windshield washer full and have good wiper blades so that you can keep the windshield clear.
Keep plenty of fuel in the tank. You never know when you may be delayed or stranded.

Pack a winter survival kit to keep in your vehicle. Suggested items include jumper cables, blankets, candles, matches, water, extra clothing, boots, snow shovel, ice scraper, high calorie non-perishable foods, flashlight with extra batteries, first-aid kit, and sand or strips of carpet for traction.

The best tip for winter driving can sometimes be to stay home! If you crash on a bad road the very least you will be late.

Get The Most Out Of Your Black Friday Shopping

Whether you were one of the millions of Black Friday shoppers in the U.S. last year, or you are joining in for the first time, being well organized is key. A good plan will help you prioritize and check items off your list. Here are six tips to seize big savings the day after Thanksgiving:

1. Do your homework -  Jot down your gift list so you know what you need to purchase. Then take the very important step of determining your budget. Get a jump on sales by signing up for email alerts at your favorite retailers and liking their Facebook pages.
2. Compare prices, products and deals - Research the normal retail price of the items you want, the best sale price to date, then the best Black Friday advertised price at each store in your shopping area. Keep in mind the best deal isn’t always on Black Friday.
3. Make a game-day plan - By making the list, you can determine where each item you want will be the cheapest and what time the stores are planning to open. Then, you can map out the most practical travel route.
4. Avoid crowds if you can - Many department stores have limited-time offers, or items only available until they are sold out. If your list includes those items, you may feel the need to be at the store early. However, that’s not always necessary. If you don’t have a particular need for hot-ticket items, arrive at the store a few hours after opening to avoid the morning rush. To avoid crowds altogether, shop online. Some big-name stores have specials that will take place online at the same time as they do at the actual stores.
5. Use your smartphone - Instead of carrying lists and advertising flyers for each store, simply install checklist apps. You’ll have all your gift lists and prices in one convenient place. Upload flyers when needed to double-check or dispute prices.
6. Stick to your plan - Be sure not to let the frenzy of the day affect your judgment. Don't buy on impulse or under pressure and decide in advance what you want and what you can afford. No matter how big a bargain something may seem, once you’ve spent your budgeted amount, put the credit card away.

Easy Ways To Guarantee Your Brakes Last Longer

If you recently bought a new car and want to keep it in its best condition, or wish to keep your older model running smoothly, you must take care of the brakes.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

 ● Avoid speeding:  Speeding puts more strain on your brakes. A brake at high speed turns energy into heat which damages the brakes. Drive at the posted speed limit and your brakes should last you much longer.

● Do not follow:  Avoid using brakes because the person in the car ahead flashed their brake light quickly. This is hard habit to break for many drivers, so just try and reduce it by learning to coast when these incidents take place.

 ● Reduce all the extra baggage: Try to avoid carrying needless baggage in your trunk. The heavier the car, the more impact it will have on the brakes. So lighten your car as much as possible.

 ● Do not use your left foot: You should only use your right foot on the brake pedal as it will help you avoid simultaneously pushing both pedals and avoid unnecessary brake taps.

● Change the brake fluids: It is critical to change your brake fluids on a regular basis to avoid damage to brakes.  If your car is old, you should consider renewing your brake fluids. When you change the brake fluids, the internal components and the brakes last longer and work better.

Follow these simple steps to brakes that will last longer and work more efficiently.

Halloween Safe Driving Tips

Help protect trick-or-treaters by following these driving safety tips on Halloween, or on the night your community hosts Halloween activities. Be especially careful between 4 and 8 p.m., when most severe vehicle/young pedestrian collisions happen.

• Drive slowly, and don't pass stopped vehicles. The driver might be dropping off children.
   
• Park your mobile phone. Avoid distractions by waiting until you've stopped to call, text, or surf. Get more mobile phone safety tips.
   
• Watch for children darting into the street. Kids can cross the street anywhere, and most young pedestrian deaths happen at spots other than intersections.
   
• Yield to young pedestrians. Children might not stop, either because they don't see your vehicle approaching or don't know how to safely cross the street.

• Communicate with other drivers. Always use your turn signals. And if you have to pull over to drop off or pick up your kids, turn on your hazard lights.

And, to keep your own trick-or-treaters safe:

• Teach them how to safely cross streets. They should look both ways and cross only at corners and crosswalks.
   
• Consider indoor community Halloween programs for younger kids. Some communities also offer to help you inspect your kids' treats to make sure they're safe to eat.
   
• Brighten them up. Give them flashlights and glow sticks, and/or use reflective tape on their costumes, so drivers can see them.

Keep Driving If You See The Gas Tanker

If you happen to see a gasoline tanker filling the tanks at your local gas station, come back later that day or if you can manage, come back the next day.  As the station’s underground tanks are being filled, the turbulence can stir up the sediment in the gasoline. This sediment in the gas can clog fuel and fuel injectors, which in turn causes poor performance for your vehicle and possibly necessitating nagging repairs.

October is Fall Car Care Month!

 

Whether you do it yourself or take your car to a professional service technician, the Car Care Council recommends these four proactive steps to make sure your car is ready for winter driving.

Read more here: http://www.sacbee.com/2013/10/01/5784448/five-tips-for-fall-car-care-month.html#storylink=cpy

1. Battery – Keep the battery connections clean, tight and corrosion-free. Cold weather is hard on batteries, so it's wise to check the battery and charging system. Because batteries don't always give warning signs before they fail, it is advisable to replace batteries that are more than three years old.  
2. Heater, Defrosters and Wiper Blades – Check that the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system are working properly as heating and cooling performance is critical for interior comfort and for safety reasons, such as defrosting. Wiper blades that are torn, cracked or don't properly clean your windshield should be replaced. As a general rule, wiper blades should be replaced every six months. When changing the blades, be sure to also check the fluid level in the windshield washer reservoir.
3. Tires – Check the tires, including the tire pressure and tread depth. Uneven wear indicates a need for wheel alignment. Tires should also be checked for bulges and bald spots. If snow and ice are a problem in your area, consider special tires designed to grip slick roads. During winter, tire pressure should be checked weekly as tires lose pressure when temperatures drop.
4. Brakes – Have the brake system checked, including brake linings, rotors and drums. Brakes are critical to vehicle safety and particularly important when driving on icy or snow-covered roads.

Use These Easy Tips To Ensure Your New Car Keeps Running Like Brand New

Being car considerate shouldn’t stop after the break-in. Drive with care every day and your car will reward you with longer intervals without repair.

• Do not race your car’s engine during start-up.This is a quick way to add years of wear to your engine, especially if it’s cold outside.
• Accelerate slowly when you begin your drive.The most wear to the engine and drive train occurs in the first ten to twenty minutes of operation.
• Warming the engine by letting it idle in the driveway is not a smart idea.The engine doesn’t operate at its peak temperature, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion, soot deposits on cylinder walls, oil contamination, and ultimately damaged components.
• Put less strain on your engine and automatic transmission by shifting to neutral at red lights. Otherwise, the engine is still working to push the car even while it’s stopped.
• Avoid driving at high speeds and accelerating quickly, especially when it’s very hot or very cold outside. Such driving behavior will result in more frequent repairs.
• Extend the life of your tires with careful driving. Observe posted speed limits. Avoid fast starts, stops, and turns. Avoid potholes and objects on the road. Don’t run over curbs or hit the tire against the curb when parking. And, of course, don’t burn rubber.
• When turning your steering wheel, don’t hold it in an extreme right or left position for more than a few seconds. Doing so can damage the power-steering pump.
• Consolidate your short driving trips. Most of the wear and tear — as well as the pollution your car generates — takes place in the first few minutes of driving. Doing several errands at once, during low traffic hours if possible, will keep your engine happier longer.

Lease or Buy

Should You Lease Or Buy?

Should you lease or buy that next vehicle? It really comes down to your routine and preferences.

If you are someone who likes to drive a new car every few years leasing may be the right option. If your career has you entertaining business clients there may be a tax write-off for certain professions. For you if it boils down to money saved there are a number of Auto Loan and Auto Lease Calculators to figure estimated leasing payments and loan payments.

Advantages of Car Leasing

•Lower monthly payments•Lower down payment
•You can drive a “better” car for less money monthly
•Lower repair costs (With a three-year lease, the factory warranty covers most repairs)
•You can more easily drive a new car every two or three years
•No trade-in hassles
•You pay sales tax only on the portion of the car you finance

Disadvantages of Car Leasing

•You don't own the car at the end of the lease
•Your mileage is limited to a set amount, typically 12,000-15,000 miles a year (excess miles are paid for at the lease termination)
•Lease contracts can be confusing
•Leasing is more expensive in the long run (as opposed to buying and driving until the wheels fall off)
•Wear-and-tear charges can add up (paid at lease termination)
•It's costly to terminate a lease early if your driving needs change

Advantages of Car Buying

•Pride of ownership —transform your car as you please
•Car buying is more economical in the long run unless you buy and trade-in regularly
•No penalty for driving excess mileage
•Increased flexibility — you can easily sell the car whenever you want

Disadvantages of Car Buying

•Higher down payment generally
•Higher monthly payments
•You're responsible for maintenance costs once the warranty expires
•Trade-in or selling hassles when you’re ready for a new car
•More of your cash is tied up in a car, which depreciates, rather than an investment that appreciates

As you can see leasing may be a better option in the short term, but in the long run you may want to go with buying.

It is up to you the smart car buyer to weigh the pros and cons for yourself, determine needs, and what best suits your lifestyle.

Improved Paint

Summer can be hard on your vehicles paint with the long sunny, hot days. General Motors is continually improving the paint on its vehicles. Before the 1980’s all automakers used a single topcoat layer to provide a glossy finish. Today to deliver a more durable paint there is a clear coat layer applied on top of a color coat layer making an additional protective shield. This has a positive impact on fender benders causing the paint to dent with the metal instead or flaking or chipping off as it did in the past.

Today’s paint is better engineered to accommodate expansion from heat and contractions from cold without losing luster.

Keep It Shiny

*Wash your vehicle regularly and wipe it dry with a clean, non-abrasive cloth.
*Small messes on the paint like bird droppings should be cleaned up as soon as possible to avoid paint etching.
*If you are determined to have a gleaming look, opt for a gentle automotive wax.

Tips to Tow in Your 2014 Chevrolet Silverado

We’ve heard the buzz about the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado for some time now.  The roomy cabin gives everybody more space and makes the family trips more of a delight. What will you do in your new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado?  If you said tow your family boat or camper, then today’s post is for you. 

This should go without saying, but the best way to get your family safely to the vacation destination while towing, is to adjust your driving.  No need to put unnecessary wear and tear on your vehicle by speeding.  Take turns slower than you normally would and last but not least, merge with the consideration of the additional length of your tow.  Safety is just as important as the way you attach the cargo to your vehicle.

Size matters in operating a vehicle for a specific task.  Make sure you have the proper size truck for the proper weight.  If you are looking for a truck to tow something already in your possession, be sure to bring along the specifications to the dealership while you are shopping.  Your consultant will be able to better assist you with your needs.  If you have a truck and you’re looking for a boat or camper, make sure to research what your vehicle is capable of handling before a major purchase. 

The hitch on your truck is just as important as knowing the tow capacity.  A class III hitch can handle up to a 5,000 pound capacity and a class IV hitch can handle up to 7,500 pounds.  The hitch will have a receiver bar that you connect the draw-bar to.  Then a pin slides through both pieces and then holds them in place with a clip.  If your vehicle is too tall, you have the option of purchasing a draw-bar that drops so your tow is level.

This is a Test, a Test of Your MPG

With gasoline costing a pretty chunk of change, we see a lot of people choosing economical cars with more miles per gallon.  Smaller cars with more bang for the buck at the gas pump has an appeal to us. What happens when the miles per gallon start to decrease over time? 

It is good to test your actual miles per gallon from time to time and this is the best way to find out for yourself:

  - -  Next time you fill up your tank, reset your odometer.

    - You can fill up your tank any time after and it doesn’t have to be on empty.  However, the latest EPA’s considerations for mpg are per 100 miles.  

  - -  Take the number of miles listed on your car’s odometer and divide that number by the amount of gallons listed on the pump or the receipt.  

- -  Write down the number of miles per gallon in your car log. 

     - This reading can be tested as much as possible, but it’s good to perform at least once a month.

If you notice fluctuation or that the number of miles per gallon is decreasing, you might want to bring your vehicle in for a checkup.  It could be as simple as a tune-up to fix the issue, but it’s good to get the diagnoses from a pro.  Here is a link to our service center: http://bit.ly/18JAKSj 

MyChevrolet App

Getting Out of a Ticket

Just when you think you know all the laws in your state, you might be surprised.  There are many ins and outs of the state’s driving rules and regulations and laws can change without any notice.  Who has the time to know which laws passed and which ones didn’t?  Knowledge is the best policy in preventing a costly ticket. Let’s talk about how to avoid a ticket.

The best way to get out of a ticket is to not get a ticket at all.  That’s right; it is our responsibility as drivers to avoid getting a ticket by knowing the local laws.  When you move to a new state, it is wise to familiarize yourself with the laws of the land.  Every state is different, so knowledge is power.  Tickets are an unnecessary expense that can easily be avoided.  Get to know your state’s laws here: http://bit.ly/14dX3PI

 

There are many online resources that you can utilize to familiarize yourself with the need to know information.  Your local DMV will have this information readily available for you.  If you are uncertain after reading up on the requirements, you may want to take a driver’s education class.  Being proactive in a driving situation is better than being reactive to a moving violation. 

Remember, you may need to service your car to comply with state law, feel free to schedule a service appointment with one of our certified technicians and we are more than happy to assist: http://bit.ly/18JAKSj 

Shottenkirk Chevrolet Tire Sale

Tread
The tread on your tires should never fall below 1/16 of an inch (1.6 millimeters) in depth. If you frequently drive on slick, wet surfaces, it would actually be safer to have twice the depth. You can buy a gauge or use a penny, take a Lincoln-head penny, and insert Abe's head (head-down) into the tread. If Lincoln's entire head remains visible, you don't have enough tread.

Vibration
A certain amount of vibration is to be expected, especially on gravel roads, but if you've been driving for a while, you probably know how much vibration is okay and how much means that something's wrong. Your tires may be misaligned or unbalanced, or the shock absorbers are starting to go. It could also indicate that there's some sort of internal issue with the tire. Even if the tire isn't the root cause of the vibration, the vibration will most likely damage the tire.

Tread Bar
Newer tires now have tread wear indicator bars built into the tires themselves. These bars, invisible or barely visible when the tires are new, progressively begin to appear as the tread wears down. They appear as flat rubber bars running perpendicular to the direction of the tread itself. If more than one or two of these are visible on a tire, the tread is getting low. You can even check the wet tracks your tires leave after driving through water.

Bulges
Sometimes the outer surface of the tire begins to weaken. The result can be a bulge or blister that extends outward from the surface. This weak spot can cause an unexpected blow out.

Sidewall Cracks
Not all problems with the tires are going to be in the tread. They can also appear in the sidewall. Look for tracks or cuts in the sidewall or grooves. This could be a sign that your tire is developing a leak, or that it could blow out.

Appearance Modifications

There is something to be said about modifications on a Chevrolet.  For an owner it’s a sense of pride as they ride in a vehicle with personalized style.  We might enjoy our cars the way they are, but a modified car can bring out the character in our cherished metal.  Today we will touch base on appearance mods. 

There are many choices in the appearance modification genre.  Some of the choices are:

 

- Different lighting like optional under glow.  This is one modifier you might want to be cautious of because in some states it’s illegal to have a certain colors for your lighting choice. This could be helpful to see if there are any monsters lurking beneath your ride at night.

 

 - You can add a body kit to your vehicle to change the appearance altogether, like the above Disney Turbo promotional Camaro.  This modification speaks for itself. 

 -There are doors that will open up, instead of open out. This could make it much easier for parking in tight spaces.

- There are bumpers, hoods, scoops and tires that will drastically change the look of your car. In some cases, modifications such as these, could improve performance.

There are many different choices you can choose from when you want to style your ride.  What kind of modification would you choose for your favorite care in our inventory? Browse our inventory online and take the first steps to your dream car: http://bit.ly/XBVln1
