Chevrolet Dealer Is Anticipating New Manufacturing Plant

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

At your local New Jersey Chevrolet dealer, we’re excited about the Chevy Volt. Along with this new car will come a new manufacturing plant in Michigan.

General motors has recently announced that it will be building a new manufacturing plant. The plant, which will be located in Flint, Michigan, will serve to produce fuel efficient 4-cylinder engines. The new plant is expected to cost General Motors approximately $370 million.

This new Flint plant will be the only facility in North American that will produce GM’s 1.4 liter naturally aspirated engine. This is the engine that is going to be used in the new Chevy Volt.

The Volt is a plug-in hybrid vehicle. It is believed that the Volt will be able to travel up to 40 miles without using any gasoline whatsoever, and while producing no emissions. GM revealed the production version of the Volt this month. Chevrolet expects to start building the new Chevy Volt some time in 2010.

It addition to the Volt, it is believed that the 1.4 liter engine will be used in the Chevrolet Cruze. The Cruze is a fuel-efficient compact car that is expected to be released sometime in 2010.

The plant itself will also take steps to better the environment. It will be LEED certified. It will also be free of landfill use. Any waste produced from the manufacturing process will be converted to energy, reused, or recycled.

Chevy Dealership Announces The Volt

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Recently, Chevrolet announced the most revolutionary car that it will ever send to your local Chevy dealership: the new Chevy Volt.

Chevrolet promises that the Volt is going to be like no other car at your Chevy dealership. It will be a battery-powered compact hybrid car, and it is scheduled for release by the end of the 2010 model year.

People are excited about this announcement. Already, more than 40,000 people have signed up for an unofficial waiting list, saying that they want to buy the GM Volt. Some local Chevrolet dealers are also keeping their own lists of people who can’t wait to get behind the wheel of this revolutionary vehicle.

General Motors hopes that the Volt will become a signature product, clearly identifying GM as a cutting-edge company when it comes to fuel efficiency. The Volt will rely on lithium ion battery technology, which is the same sort of battery that is used today in portable devices such as laptop computers.

It is expected that the Volt can travel 40 miles on electricity alone, assumign the battery pack is fully charged. On certain trips, it may be able to go more than 100 miles withouth the gasoline battery kicking in.

The Volt, most importantly, demonstrates General Motor’s commitment to fuel effeciency and to the environment.

When To Get An Alignment At Your New Jersey Dealership

Friday, September 26th, 2008

If you want your car to last, you’re going to have to take your car in to your Chevrolet dealer on a regular basis to have it serviced. Oil changes, tires, brakes, and all sorts of other service keep your vehicle running in tip-top shape.

From time to time, you’re going to need an alignment from your New Jersey dealership. Your wheels need to be parallel, and your tires need to hit the road in a specific way. An alignment is the process that your mechanic uses to get our wheels back into the position they belong in.

Why is an alignment necessary? The fact of the matter is that the driving process causes your wheels to get out of place, a little bit at a time. Everything from general wear and tear to driving on rough roads and hitting potholes will contribute to this shift in your wheels. Over time, they become more and more misaligned.

If your car begins to pull one direction or another when you’re driving on a straight road, it’s time to get an alignment. While there are other things, of course, that can cause your vehicle to start to pull in one direction or another, an alignment is a common cause.

Another sign that you may need an alignment is uneven wear on your tires. If your tire tread is frayed or stripped, or if it shows wear on one side and not the other, it can mean that you need an alignment.

The good news is that an alignment generally isn’t very expensive. You can usually get an alignment for well under $100, depending on the make and model of your vehicle.

Corvette ZR1 Coming Back To Chevrolet Dealer

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

After a long wait, the Corvette ZR1 is about to be back at your Chevrolet dealer. It’s been a long time coming, but everything suggests that it will have been worth the wait.

During its initial production during the 1990s the Corvette ZR1, was hailed as one of the most powerful, stylish, and sleek Corvettes ever. The ZR1 remains the favorite Corvette of many enthusiasts, as well.

One of the most interesting things about the new Corvette ZR1 is that it wasn’t developed by a squad of thousands of engineers. This car was designed by a small team. The team were enthusiastic fans of the Corvette, who worked on the design for several years. After all of that time and hard work, the team’s efforts have finally paid off with the release of the 2009 Corvette ZR1.

Not only is the ZR1 coming back, it’s coming back with a vengeance. The new Corvette ZR1 sets a much higher benchmark when it comes to Corvette performance. It features a 6.2 liter V8 engine with an Eaton TVS Supercharger, as well as intercooler. The 638 horsepower LS9 supercharged engine produces 604 lb.-ft of torque. On the test track, the new ZR1 reached speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour.

The ZR1 isn’t just about power and performance, however. The 2009 Corvette ZR1 has plenty of style, too. It has a front air splitter, carbon fiber roof, domed hood, and dual cove front fenders. It even has a window to the supercharger in the hood. It also features 19 inch front wheels, and 20 inch rear wheels.

Inside the Corvette ZR1, you’ll find the latest in technology and style, too. There is a boost gauge in cluster, and there’s also a Heads-Up Display included. The 4LZ package includes a custom leather-wrapped interior.
