Chevrolet and DreamWorks Bring You Turbo



Coming to theaters this summer, Turbo is the story of a snail who dares to dream big – and fast. After a freak accident infuses him with the power of super-speed, Turbo kicks into overdrive and embarks on an extraordinary journey to achieve the seemingly impossible: competing in The Greatest Spectacle in Racing, the Indianapolis 500.

Whatever your family dreams of, the reimagined 2013 Chevrolet Traverse can help you get there. Comfortably. With a rich and refined interior and seating for up to eight, the Chevrolet Traverse is the perfect family vehicle - for any journey. From multiple storage units to the best-in-class maximum cargo space, the Traverse was designed with your family in mind.

Kudos



Congratulations Josie and the Shottenkirk team for another excellent review!

"You could tell Josie had a good report with customers as many walked in to say "hi" or to give her updates on certain items. That shows me the "small town" feel and how it's essentially family. The dealership is not a bad size and in the inside is open and comfortable. The finance guys were very imformative." - Chris F.

Summer Driving



The key to summer driving is keeping the engine cool. We're going to talk about the radiator and coolant soon, but first you need to check the hoses and belts. The hoses connected to the radiator help pump coolant to and from the engine block, and the belts run the fan that helps cool the system further.  If the hoses crack or the belts snap, the radiator will quickly overheat, leaving you stranded.

Check hoses for cracks, leaks and loose connections. Hoses should be firm, never soft and malleable. Hoses suffer from a slow deterioration process called electrochemical degradation (ECD) that eats away at rubber hose material from the inside. The most vulnerable parts of the hose are those nearest to clamps where the hose connects to the radiator or the engine.

Belts can also be visually checked for cracks and damage. Take note if the belt looks excessively slick or smooth. Remove the belt to make sure that the material hasn't started separating into different layers. Experts say the risk of belt failure rises dramatically after 36,000 miles (57,936 kilometers).
