Happy Birthday, America!

Jeff Gordon Chevrolet's Employees Celebrate Independence Day

Jeff Gordon Chevrolet will be closed on Monday, July 4th so our staff can spend the holiday with their families and friends. We will be open for business as usual on Tuesday, July 5th.

Independence Day honors the birthday of the United States of America and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. It's a day of picnics and patriotic parades, a night of concerts and fireworks, and a reason to fly the American flag.

During the American Revolution, the legal separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia.

After voting for independence, Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining this decision, which had been prepared by a Committee of Five, with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author. Congress debated and revised the Declaration, finally approving it on July 4, 1776.

In a remarkable coincidence, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the only signers of the Declaration of Independence later to serve as Presidents of the United States, died on the same day: July 4, 1826, which was the 50th anniversary of the Declaration.

Customers demand more value for their money, and we have responded,” said Jennifer Costabile, general director of marketing and sales support, GM Fleet and Commercial Operations. “We believe our enhanced program offers our customers an outstanding experience from the moment they drive their Chevrolet, Buick or GMC Certified Pre-Owned vehicle off of the lot.”

Do You Know What the Codes on Your Tires Mean?

Example Tire Sidewall Markings: P215/65R 15 95H M+S

- First up is a letter or letters, indicating the tire’s purpose: “P” for passenger cars or “LT” for light trucks are the most likely letters you’ll see.
- Next is a three-digit number. This is the tire’s width (in millimeters) from sidewall edge to sidewall edge.
- Then, a two-digit number which is the tire’s aspect ratio, or the ratio of height to width. The smaller the number, the shorter the sidewall.
- Next, a letter, probably “R,” which indicates radial construction. Almost every tire you encounter will be a radial nowadays, unless you’re buying tires for a classic car.
- Then, another two-digit number, which is the diameter of the wheel that the tire is intended to fit.
- Next, an optional two- or three-digit number. This is the tire’s load index number, and its inclusion is not required by law. The load index number corresponds with the tire’s load-carrying capacity. Simply put, don’t install a tire with a lower load index number than your manufacturer recommends.
- Next, a letter. This is the tire’s speed rating. Follow your manufacturer’s recommendation. You should only need to upgrade to a higher speed rating if you have modified your vehicle for track use, or if you are heading to Germany to drive on the Autobahn.
- Next, some more letters, usually “M+S” or “M/S.” This stands for mud and snow, and applies to most radial tires sold in America.

There are more numbers and letters, most of which you don’t really need to worry about unless your tires are subject to a recall. They refer to the tire’s place and date of manufacture, the maximum inflation pressure, maximum load rating, composition, materials, tread wear, traction and temperature grades. Diving deeply into these ratings will yield a trove of information – most of which differs from manufacturer to manufacturer.

The next time you shop for tires, you’ll understand what all those letters and numbers mean.

And remember, Jeff Gordon Chevrolet has great prices and will help you select the best tires for your vehicle.

Jeff Gordon Chevrolet - Saying Goodbye Is Never Easy

For many of us, saying goodbye is one of the hardest things to do. Whether it is to a close friend who is moving to a new town to start a job or the last spoonful of Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream..… sometimes there are no adequate words.

In movies, goodbyes have become memorialized. “Here’s looking at you, kid” from Casablanca; the final scene in ET: The Extraterrestrial; and what about Curly and Larry bidding farewell to Moe in The Three Stooges: A Day Without Your Thumb in My Eye. Tearjerkers, all.

Jeff Gordon Chevrolet has had another record sales year and we are now faced with that sweet sorrow: we are sad to announce that it is almost time to say goodbye to 2010. Grief Counselors have been made available for members of our staff who are having a hard time letting go.

We also recently sold our last Hendrick Motorsports Performance Camaro. It had nearly 600 horsepower and it's been a difficult time for all of us, we're taking it day by day and counting the days until our Convertible Camaro's arrive.

Jeff Gordon Chevrolet is offering 0% APR and No Payments Till Spring on most new Chevrolet models. This adds up to huge discounts and significant savings on many of America’s favorite vehicles like Silverado, Malibu and Impala. Recently, the staff at Jeff Gordon Chevrolet has decided it’s time to let go of 2010, and now it is time to move on.

There will, of course, continue to be amazing offers on new Chevrolet’s. The lease specials have been as low as anyone can remember. And new inventory is arriving almost every day. Jeff Gordon Chevrolet has 15 acres new 2011 models including the Convertible Camaro, Equinox, Traverse and the all new Chevy Cruze is now at the dealership.

However, if you still want 0% APR financing and No Payments Until Spring on a brand new 2011 Chevrolet, come in right away and take advantage of it. There are only a few remaining days until the offers are gone forever.

Think of it this way….you can put off saying goodbye for a few more years by coming in now, buying a new car with 0% APR, and not have any payments till Spring. That’s not so hard.

If you need a shoulder to lean on or just feel like talking to someone about it, please call Jason Nicholas at 910-798-2722.

He can discuss available inventory, get you pre approved or just be there for you in this difficult time. I know…I know
