Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned

Buy smart. Own confidence.

Believe it or not a ‘Certified Pre-Owned’ (CPO) vehicle is exactly that… it is a used vehicle. Where CPO differs from a ‘used vehicle’ is it’s checked over by a manufacturer-trained technician and in most cases, offers similar benefits to those of buying a new car.

Chevy’s certified pre-owned standards include:

• 2 year/30,000 mile standard CPO maintenance plan – which includes oil changes based on your vehicles Oil Life Monitor system, tire rotations and multi-point vehicle inspection.
• 12 month/ 12,000 mile  Bumper-to-Bumper warranty – that’s four times better coverage than Chrysler and Ford.
• $0 deductible, transferable 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty with roadside assistance and courtesy transportation.
• 24/7 Roadside Assistance for the life of the vehicle warranty.
• 172-point vehicle inspection and reconditioning process – Certified status is a name that is earned, and earned only by meeting our strict, factory-set standards. If it doesn’t pass, we completely re-condition it.
• 3 Day/150 Mile Customer satisfaction guarantee to exchange it. No regrets. No doubts. No question about it.
• Vehicle history report… Now you can be sure the vehicle that you’re purchasing doesn’t have any hidden past problems like major accidents, fires or title issues.

The day you make a Chevrolet your own, you buy into the performance and styling of the Chevrolet tradition. You want the things you love about your Chevrolet to stay in peak condition. Nobody understands your Chevrolet better than the Certified Service experts at JBA Chevrolet.

We believe in our vehicles and aren’t afraid to stand behind them.  Stop by JBA Chevrolet, we’ve got your next vehicle.

The Chevy Sonic = Fun!

To me fun is, bungee jumping, sky diving, and playing in a band … over the past few months the 2012 Chevy Sonic has done all of those things! But it’s coolness doesn’t stop there, Rob Dyrdek, from MTV’s Fantasy Factory, pulled out a kickflip (which is essentially a roll over in the air before landing safely back on its wheels) in it! “The Sonic’s power and sportiness make it the perfect vehicle for this awesome stunt.” says Dyrdek.

Here is the Sonic adventure video compilation “Stunt Anthem”

Not only is the Sonic one adventurous little car, but it’s also safe!  The 2012 Chevy Sonic has been given the distinct honor of a 5-star safety rating by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).  The Sonic garnered the overall 5-Star safety rating following evaluations in rollover resistance, and side/frontal crash, including the “pole test” in which the vehicle was driven into a poll or tree at 32 km/h.

“We developed the Sonic to exceed customer expectations of subcompacts in terms of segment-leading safety features. From the largest vehicles in the lineup to the smallest, we are putting overall crash worthiness at the top of the list of must haves.” said Gay Kent, a GM executive for Vehicle Safety.

If you’re ready for a new kind of car with a healthy appetite for adventure while keeping you and your passengers safe, Stop by JBA Chevrolet, we’ve got your next car!

Chevrolet Concepts

Chevrolet rolled out a few exciting concept vehicles at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit this week.

These concept vehicles were developed from market research and in-depth discussions with young consumers throughout the country and were then engineered by a team of young designers.They include a rear-wheel-drive boxy coupe representing “functional muscle” and a front-wheel-drive sporty coupe described as “affordable exotic.”

The “functional muscle” car is the Chevrolet Code 130R Concept. It features beefy fender flares, a tuned-up direct injection 1.4L turbocharge 4-cylinder engine producing 150hp and 148lbs/torque. It also has the eAssist electric assist system that supplements engine power, performs regenerative braking and allows for engine auto start/stop.  The wheels are 20″, the engine is 6-speed automatic or manual and Chevrolet thinks it should get 40 mpg on the hwy.

Then there is the “affordable exotic” car, the Chevrolet Tru 140S Concept. It’s a sleek three-door hatchback, front-wheel-drive sporty coupe with an engine producing 150hp and the eAssist electric assist system also in the Code 130R. The wheels are 21″, the engine is 6-speed automatic or manual and Chevrolet thinks it should get 40 mpg on the hwy as well.

“To capture the hearts of the [Millennial Generation], Chevy is getting back to the core of our brand: affordability, fun, optimism, and staying forward-looking. But we aren’t doing it alone,” said McFarland. “We are harnessing the power of the voice of this group and co-creating the future.”

What do you think of these concept vehicles? Would you like to see either of these cars on our lot in the next few years?

Stop by JBA Chevrolet and let us know what you think…

2012 will mean 101 years for Chevrolet… I think we can have some fun with that birthday! Please join us in celebrating 100 years worth of Chevy memories by sharing your Chevy stories with us… leave a comment, send us an email or stop by the dealership. We look forward to hearing from you!

Here’s one family Chevy memory that spans generations!

Winter Driving 101

Winter driving can be treacherous and unpredictable, placing extra demands on your vehicle and your driving skills. Here are a few tips to help you make it through the winter as smoothly as possible.

1. Be prepared (that’s always #1 isn’t it?!) – keep a blanket, boots, gloves and a flashlight in your vehicle. A bag of kitty litter is a good idea as well, it could help you if your tires are spinning.
2. Keep your fuel tank above half full, this prevents fuel line freeze-ups when things get really cold.
3. Nothing beats a set of maintained wipers in a blizzard or sleet storm, and make sure your washer fluid is topped up for those messier drives.
4. Take your vehicle to your service technician and have them look at your battery & coolant system. Older batteries & weak antifreeze might not protect as well in cold weather & can actually cause damage to your vehicle when it’s not running.
5. Understand how your breaking system works. If they’re anti-lock brakes don’t pump them, instead press firmly on the brake pedal and let the system do what it was designed to do, namely, stop your vehicle.
6. Be sure to have proper winter tires and keep them properly inflated.
7. Keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you to avoid situations where you may have to break suddenly on a slick surface.
8. If you really aren’t very comfortable driving during the winter, you might be interested in taking an advanced driving course that teaches emergency driving skills… give yourself the confidence you need to get to your destination safely.

If you need some maintenance work done on your vehicle or winter tires installed give us a call, 1-877-587-4355, we’d like to help you drive safe this winter.
