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 Car NJ Dealer Warns against Auto Insurance Fraud

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Your new car NJ dealer wants to warn you about the rise of auto insurance fraud. Since economic times are tough, many people are looking for ways to get some money, even if that means committing a felony to do so.

Auto insurance companies have noticed a sharp increase in vandalism claims. More and more people are “torching, drowning or dumping” their vehicles in hopes of claiming the insurance money. Auto fire insurance claims have increased by at least 6 percent in the last year with Michigan, New York and Indiana being the “hot spots” (pun intended) for these types of claims. In these three states alone, burned car claims have gone up between 13 and 18 percent, according to State Farm Insurance’s special investigations unit.

Another example of this behavior occurred just months ago before Hurricane Gustav hit. Dozens of new cars were left at the water’s edge in Gulfport, Mississippi within hours of the hurricane’s landfall. There are even crime rings across the country that will steal and burn your car for a price or destroy them beyond recognition.

“Increasingly, people are turning to insurance fraud as a quick bailout for their financial misery, to get out of auto leases they can no longer afford, and to pay off credit card or mortgage debt,” explained a spokesperson for the Coalition Against Auto Fraud.

Your Denville area Jeep dealer just wants you to know these things are going on. But you can get a great deal on a new or used car at your new car NJ dealer so you won’t have to resort to such extreme measures to make your car payments. Check one out today!

Chevrolet Dealer Discusses Credit Scores and Insurance Premiums

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

You already know that your credit score affects your ability to get loans, credit cards and other financial aspects of your life. But did you know your credit score can also affect your insurance premiums? Your Elizabeth area Chevrolet dealer has three things you should know about your insurance credit scores so you can hopefully save money on your auto insurance premiums.

1. Insurance scores consider past financial history, including debt and payments. A large number of credit cards and balances will count against you when you get auto insurance in that you will likely pay higher premiums.
2. Almost all states allow insurance companies to consider credit scores. Hawaii is the only state that does not allow insurance companies to consider credit history when determining auto insurance premiums.
3. Recent activity is used more than old activity. If you have a recent history of paying your bills on time and using your credit wisely, that will carry more weight than your old credit history. It shows that you have “turned over a new leaf” and are probably less likely to file a claim with the insurance company for an auto accident.

Saving money on insurance these days is essential. And now that you know your credit history has an effect on your premiums, you can work to fix it.

Hyundai Dealership Offers Unique Deal

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

We’ve written about the new Hyundai Assurance Program already, but it’s such a spectacular program that it’s worth writing about again. At your local Hyundai dealership, you can be assured that your financial decision is safe in case you find yourself in some bad circumstances.

When you finance or lease a new car from a Hyundai dealership, you can just walk away from your financial commitment in the following instances:

• You lose your job through no control of your own.
• You become physically disabled to work.
• You lose your license as the result of a medical condition or impairment.
• Your job transfers you to another country.
• You have a self-employed personal bankruptcy.
• You die.
Okay, so that last one is basically a given, but still. This is the first time any automaker has offered a program like this. “We wanted to restore consumer confidence back into the market. We’re [going to] take the care back while you walk away from the deal,” said one official with Hyundai. The program also includes coverage for $7,500 in negative equity.

The program applies to all new cars at your Hyundai dealership as long as you make at least the first two payments on the financing agreement. With a deal like this, what’s stopping you from running to your Springfield area Hyundai dealer today and taking advantage of the Hyundai Assurance Program?

NJ Jeep Dealerships Offer Car Repair Tips

Monday, January 12th, 2009

Getting repairs done on your vehicle can be a daunting experience. You never know how much it’s going to cost, how long it’s going to take and you have very little control over the situation. But your NJ Jeep dealerships want to offer some tips to help reduce the stress and frustration associated with car repairs.

1. Be available. A repair shop is like a production line – they try to get your car in the bay, diagnosed and fixed in an organized manner. If it takes them hours to get in touch with you after they have diagnosed the problem, you may get moved to the bottom of the list so they can work on another car in its place.
2. Let the mechanic diagnose the problem. Don’t tell them what you think it is or anything like that. You may mislead them and you could be completely wrong. Just let the mechanic know what the symptoms are and let them go from there.
3. Be respectful. Don’t treat the mechanic like a “grease monkey” or talk down to them. They have a bad reputation that is, for the most part, unwarranted.

Your Jeep dealerships want to help ensure a good experience when you visit the mechanic. Of course, if your car is beyond repair or if you just want something new, visit your Denville area Jeep dealer. A new car that needs no repairs is a great way to enjoy 2009!

Hyundai Dealer Offers Defensive Driving Tip #42: Be Courteous

Monday, January 12th, 2009

If you’ve been driving for any amount of time, you’ve undoubtedly noticed the lack of courtesy on the part of other drivers. Your Hyundai dealer recognizes this lack of courtesy on the roads, but we would like to encourage you to be courteous anyways.

Courteousness as a defensive driving technique is important for several reasons. In addition to helping to keep people safe behind the wheel, courteousness also keeps traffic moving. Instead of keeping other drivers from merging when it is necessary, letting them cut in front of you helps prevent traffic jams, bottlenecks and even accidents. Besides, letting someone in front of you only adds a second to your driving time (if that long).

When being a courteous driver, try to observe what is going on around you and try to look a few seconds into the future. Sacrificing a few extra seconds of your day can help save your life or the life of another driver. Your Somerville area Hyundai dealer urges you to use some common courtesy when you are behind the wheel. We’re just all trying to get home in one piece even if that means being late.

Now Is the Best Time to Buy a New Car in NJ

Friday, January 9th, 2009

With the financial crunch hitting businesses and individuals hard, you may not think that now is a good time to buy a new car in NJ. However, nothing could be further from the truth. If you’re looking to buy a new car in NJ right now, you are looking at the ideal time. According to a report in The Associated Press this week, buyers can find great deals right now as manufacturers are “willing to slash thousands off sticker prices and offer interest-free money.”

By now, you’re probably asking yourself, “What’s the catch?” There isn’t a huge catch as long as you can qualify for a car loan. The financial situation has caused banks and lenders to be more stingy careful with their money. As a result, fewer people are qualifying for the loans needed to get a new car in NJ and every other state in the country as well. “The biggest challenge we’ve got is the availability of credit,” said Dale Early, the owner of a Jeep dealer in Texas. He said approvals at his facility have dropped by about 50 percent, which is an 80 percent drop from last year.

Don’t let this scare you, though. You can still visit your Avenel area Jeep dealer and see if you qualify for a loan to get a new car in NJ. Some people are surprised that they are “credit worthy,” but you’ll never know until you try!

Hyundai Dealership Applauds PA’s Commitment to Environment

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Your Hyundai dealership wants to give kudos to the officials in the state of Pennsylvania for joining 10 other eastern states in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

“This partnership will work closely on a standard for the entire region,” said Governor Ed Rendell earlier this week when he announced the state’s agreement to participate in the program. “In conjunction with Pennsylvania’s energy policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase clean energy development, this work done by this partnership will ultimately grow our economy and protect our planet by fostering a cleaner environment.”

The partnership is hoping to develop a “regional low carbon fuel standard” that will encourage residents to choose more eco-friendly methods of transportation, including hydrogen fueled cars, plug-in hybrids and cars fueled by biodiesel and ethanol. The idea of a regional low carbon fuel standard began in June of 2008 when Governor Deval Patrick of Massachusetts sent a letter inviting other governors in the region to cooperate.

The other states participating in the program include New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maine, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Vermont and Rhode Island.

You can help the region achieve this goal by visiting your East Brunswick area Hyundai dealer and purchasing a fuel-efficient vehicle. With the number of choices, you’ll be sure to find something you like as well as something that’s great for the environment, too!

Jeep Dealerships Offer Winter Driving Tips

Monday, January 5th, 2009

We’re in the dead of winter and there is no sign of spring coming anytime soon. That’s why your Jeep dealerships want to offer some winter driving tips to help you stay safe on the slippery roads. Here are some of those tips, directly from your Jeep dealerships to your computer screen.

1. Slow down. The best thing to do when driving in winter weather is to slow down. When you’re going slower, you have more time to react if you hit a patch of ice and the possibilities of skidding out of control are greatly reduced.

2. Don’t slam on the brakes. Slamming on the brakes on snow and ice will simply make you skid out of control. Be gentle with the brakes and you’ll be able to control your car much better and avoid more accidents.

3. Carry an emergency kit. There’s a good chance of getting stuck in the snow when driving in the winter. Keep a shovel and some salt in the back of your car to help you get unstuck in case this happens.

Of course, getting a four-wheel drive Jeep from your Avenel area Jeep dealer is a great way to stay safer in snowy weather. Visit one today because we still have a couple months of treacherous winter weather to get through!

New Elantra Makes Waves at Your Local Hyundai Dealership

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

The new Elantra Touring is one of the new exciting products at your local Hyundai dealership. This is the automaker’s only car-based wagon, but it is gaining popularity with each day of its availability. Here are some of the things that are getting drivers excited about the Elantra Touring.

• The Elantra Touring has a sporty driving profile combined with practical features like fuel efficiency and a more affordable price than other cars in its class.
• With an “open-mouth front air intake” and “oversized vertical taillamps,” the Elantra Touring “appears more sleek than utilitarian.”
• Compared to the Elantra sedan, the Touring has more leg room for passengers in the rear.
• The Touring emulates German luxury cars with its tweaked steering and suspension systems designed for sportier handling and a better driving experience.
• The five-speed manual transmission is ideal for sporty driving, but a four-speed automatic transmission is optional.
• Sound-deadening materials are used throughout the structure of the Elantra Touring to keep exterior noise from getting inside. This makes for a smoother and quieter ride.

With all of these great things, what are you waiting for? Visit your Somerville area Hyundai dealer today and spend 2009 driving around in style!
