Tread Wear Indicator Bars

Newer tires have a convenience that older tires lacked. They have tread wear indicator bars built into the tires themselves. These bars, invisible or barely visible when the tires are new, gradually begin to appear as the tread wears down. They appear as flat rubber bars running perpendicular to the direction of the tread itself. If more than one or two of these are visible on a tire, the tread is getting low. This should be particularly obvious in the wet tracks that your tires leave after you drive through a puddle. If the bars are starting to appear on any or all of your tires, it's time to check with our Service Department about getting your current tires replaced!

Spruce Up Your Patio

Because yesterday was the first day of spring, we found some inspiration for our back patios. Most of us have been cooped up inside all winter long, and what a long winter it has been! Since we're all excited to be able to spend some time outdoors, what better way than to add a pop of color to your patio? Lanterns are a fun way to decorate and add some flair to your space.

The New 2014 Silverado is a Safety First For Trucks

The 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 is the first pickup truck to receive the highest possible five-star Overall Vehicle Score for safety since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration changed its New Car Assessment Program for the 2011 model year.

Safety Features:
  • Safety Alert Seat warns driver of potential traffic danger using directional vibration pulses from the seat cushions. The patented warning approach is tied to all of the on-board crash avoidance systems.
  • Forward collision alert technology helps prevent a frontal crash by alerting the driver when the truck is closing in on a vehicle ahead too quickly, giving them time to react and avoid a crash.
  • Lane Departure Warning technology alerts the driver when the truck drifts over the line and is traveling at least 35 mph.
  • Rear Vision Camera with Dynamic Guidelines allows the driver, when in reverse, to view objects directly behind the vehicle via the radio screen, allowing for easier parking and backing up.
  • New, standard lap belt pretensions in the front-seat outboard safety belts.
  • Six standard air bags and 360-degree sensor system, including dual-stage frontal air bags, head-curtain side-impact air bags with rollover protection, and seat-mounted side-impact air bags.
  • Trailer-sway control that works with StabiliTrak to provide the driver with driver additional assistance when towing a trailer. When it senses trailer sway, it intervenes with braking and/ or reduced engine power to bring the trailer under control.
  • Four-wheel, four-channel, antilock disc brakes (ABS) that help provide straight, more controlled stops by preventing wheel lock-up in most road conditions.
Stop by the dealership and take a test drive in the remarkable new 2014 Silverado!
