New Car NJ Dealer Offers Discusses Benefits of GPS

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

GPS devices are a great thing to have in your car. Your new car NJ dealer knows this and would like to discuss some of the benefits of having a GPS device.

1. Turn-by-turn directions – The main reason people buy a GPS device for their car is so they can look up directions to anywhere they need to go. GPS devices offer turn-by-turn directions so you never get lost again. You can even choose the voice feature on most devices which will speak the directions to you so you never have to take your eyes off the road.
2. Vehicle tracking – Many GPS devices offer a vehicle tracking feature that will help authorities find your car in case it gets stolen.
3. Business finder – Are you looking for the nearest gas station or the nearest Italian restaurant? Many of today’s GPS devices are equipped with lists of local businesses wherever you may be.
4. Emergency help – If you get into an accident or need emergency personnel, some GPS devices can alert the authorities when you are unable to do so.

These are just a few benefits you can enjoy when you invest in a built-in or portable GPS device for your vehicle. Visit your Avenel area Jeep dealer for more information about vehicles that come with a GPS device already installed for your convenience.

New Jersey Dealership Offers Tips for Choosing a Mechanic

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Your New Jersey dealership knows that choosing a mechanic is one of the most important (and difficult) tasks of owning a car. How do you choose one that treats you fairly and does good work? Here are some tips to remember from your New Jersey dealership for when you decide to look for a mechanic.

Don’t Wait until It’s Too Late
Trying to find a trustworthy mechanic when you need a major emergency repair is not ideal. Instead, start looking around when you need minor repairs or preventative maintenance. For instance, test one out by getting an oil change to see how they treat you. If you find one that you can trust for minor things, you can build a relationship before major repairs are needed.

Ask for References
These days, you can go online to some of your local websites and see what people are saying about mechanics in your area. Are there a lot of complaints? What types of complaints are they? Also, ask your family and friends about the mechanic they use. If they are pleased, you probably will be, too.

Look for Certifications
A reputable mechanic will have their qualifications and certifications in their facility for everybody to see. Look for these when you are trying new mechanics.

Of course, you can always visit the service garage at your Monmouth Junction area Jeep dealer and get treated fairly. Check us out for your next repairs and we’ll treat you right!

NJ Chevrolet Dealer Congratulates Devils

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Your Elizabeth area Chevrolet dealer would like to take this time to congratulate the New Jersey Devils on their win to bring them closer to the Atlantic Division leaders.

In the papers, there has been a consensus that the return of Brendan Shanahan (formerly of the Detroit Red Wings) was a great contribution to the important win. Shanahan recently signed a contract with the New Jersey Devils for one year. He will receive $800,000 for the year, but he did not know how much he would actually be playing. Luckily for the NJ Devils, he still has “it” as he scored a power-play goal at 1:30 into the second period which motivated the team to beat the Nashville Predators 3-1.

“I didn’t know if things would come back right away,” said Shanahan. “I probably played a little more than I expected. I still think I have a lot of work to do. This is a game that has a lot of adrenaline. It is just one game. There is a long way for me to go and a lot of building for me yet.” Those are humble words coming from a man who played an integral part in three Stanley Cup championships with the Red Wings!

Can you think of a better way to go to the games than in a new car from your local Chevrolet dealer? Check one out today and go to the playoff games in style!

Hyundai Dealership Discusses HD Radio

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

If you haven’t checked out the latest models available at your local Hyundai dealership, you may not know that many models are equipped with HD Radio. Here are some of the things you can expect to enjoy when you get a car equipped with or when you upgrade to HD Radio.

• HD Radio has crystal-clear sound without the cracks and pops that you sometimes hear with normal radio signals.
• With HD Radio, you get a screen that gives you information about the track and artists currently playing. It also gives you real-time information about traffic data and stock info.
• Commercial-free music gives you the opportunity to enjoy your favorite genre or station without interruption.
• Some of your favorite talk programs are replayed at various times throughout the day on HD Radio so you never have to miss them again.
• News programs are more detailed than news programs you hear on AM and FM radio.
• New programs that you may have never heard of are available so you can “broaden your horizons” and listen to something new from time to time.

Check out the inventory at your East Brunswick area Hyundai dealer and find a model equipped with HD Radio. You’ll be glad you did!

Jeep Dealerships Warn about Teen Drivers

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Your local Jeep dealerships are concerned about the safety of teen drivers. They are some of the most distracted drivers on the roadways and being inexperienced behind the wheel doesn’t help either. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 57,000 teen drivers were killed in auto accidents between 1994 and 2003.

As a result of these figures, a man by the name of Greg Grob decided to try and do something about it. He created the company Hotfoot, which is an Internet website that lets parents monitor the driving habits of their teens. “If somebody witnesses their teen acting up the person that witnesses it would actually be able to call an 800 number and leave a voice message and within seconds of the voice message the parent would receive an e-mail alert.”

Parents can log onto Hotfoot.info and create an account after paying a small fee. The parents will then receive a personalized decal with a vehicle ID number and the 800 number. They can put the decal on the car for other drivers to see so they can call the number if they witness reckless driving.

Your Avenel area Jeep dealer encourages you to sign up for this service or some other service that allows you to monitor your teen driver. It’s not spying if it is done for their safety and the safety of others on the road.

Chevy Dealership Offers Winter Driving Safety Tips

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Your Chevy dealership knows that winter driving can be treacherous at times. As a result, we’d like to offer some winter driving tips to help you stay safe on the roads.

1. Be prepared. Make sure you have your car tested before winter or do it now if you didn’t do it before it started getting cold. Have the battery, tires, wipers, coolant, heater and other fluids checked to ensure everything is in proper working order.
2. Keep emergency materials with you. In case you get stuck, you’ll be glad if you have some essential items, including a first aid kit, extra clothing, shovel and a flashlight. Also, cat litter is ideal for putting under your tire to help your car gain traction on the snow and ice and get unstuck.
3. Slow down. You never know when you’re going to hit a patch of black ice. By slowing down, you are more likely to maintain control of your vehicle and prevent sliding.
4. Get some gadgets. A GPS device can help prevent you from getting lost and it can help you find help if you get stuck. With a car from your Union area Chevrolet dealer, you can get the OnStar system and get emergency help with the push of a button.

New Jersey Dealership Welcomes Brendan Shanahan

Friday, January 16th, 2009

I’m originally from Flint, Michigan. I’ve rooted for the Detroit Red Wings for more than 25 years. That’s why this story caught my attention.

Your New Jersey dealership would like to welcome Brendan Shanahan to the NJ Devils. Although he played with the New York Rangers for the last two seasons, he’ll always be a Red Wing to me. Shanahan was with the Wings during three of their Stanley Cup wins and he has 1,340 points in 1,490 NHL games. He signed with the Devils in the 1987 NHL draft and currently ranks 11th on the career goal list. In 1991, he left the Devils to play for the St. Louis Blues.

Shanahan scored 23 goals last season in 73 games but still finished with 46 points. Those may not seem like impressive numbers, but those are simply the lowest numbers he’s had since his rookie season more than 20 years ago.

While he’s playing for the New Jersey Devils, we’d like to invite him to visit our Bound Brook area Chevrolet dealer for a great deal on a new or used car. After all, one of the best players in the sport should be behind the wheel of one of the greatest brands in the auto industry.

New Jersey Dealership Offers Tips to Deter Thieves

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Your New Jersey dealership knows that crime and car thefts are on the rise. People are resorting to extreme measures with the current financial climate. We don’t want you to become a victim of car theft, though. That’s why we’re offering these tips on how to deter thieves from getting your car.

1. Do not display decals from your car alarm’s company anywhere on the car. This could give the would-be car thief a clue as to how to disarm your alarm. Keep them guessing and they are less likely to mess with your car.
2. Keep your insurance and registration with you. It has personal information on it that a car thief could use to rob your house or even steal your identity.
3. Always take your keys without. This may seem like a no-brainer, but many car owners lose their cars because they leave their car running as they jump out for a “quick second.” That’s all it takes for a car thief to jump in and speed away.
4. Don’t leave a spare key “hidden.” Thieves know the usual hiding places and they will find it. Just be extra cautious so you never lose your keys or leave them locked inside the car.

Your East Brunswick area Hyundai dealer and your local New Jersey dealership wants you to stay safe without becoming a victim. Use these tips and you’ll be less likely to be the target of car thieves.
