Letter from Chevrolet:
March 31, 2011

I wanted to recognize and thank you for your performance in the 2010 Mark of Excellence program.  You placed among some of the highest performing Dealers in the country last year.  This means you met or exceeded your 2010 Divisional sales, CSI, RSI and EBE objectives.  And in a down market, that was quite an accomplishment.

As you know, I have a term for this kind of performance.  I call it "Doing the Basics Brilliantly", displaying sales leadership and spotlighting our role as America's brand.

In a highly competitive marketplace, your professionalism and excellence are truly valued.  Thanks again for all you do for Chevrolet!

 

USAA Members get ADDITIONAL $750 OFF on select new Chevy's and Cell Phones for Soldiers to get $100 for each Military Discount Sale in May

DETROIT:  Chevrolet will salute the nation's active duty and retired service members in May by providing an exclusive "Honor" badge to customers who buy an eligible vehicle through the General Motors Military Discount program. The brand also will donate $100 to Cell Phone for Soldiers for each eligible vehicle sold.

"The men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces have given so much for so many," said Alan Batey, vice president, Chevrolet sales and service. "This is one small way Chevrolet can say 'Thank you.'" 

During Military Appreciation Month, Chevrolet dealers will install, free upon request, the exclusive "Honor" badge, consisting of a yellow ribbon and "Honor" script, as a subtle recognition of military service to customers who buy an eligible Chevrolet through the GM Military Discount program.  

The GM Military Discount is available to active, reserve and retired members and spouses of the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, National Guard and Coast Guard. The discount, ranging from $400 to $4,000, is available on most Chevrolet cars, trucks and crossovers, depending on the model and options selected. The discount can be combined with most current incentives.

The GM Military Discount offers an additional $750 discount on selected Chevrolet vehicles to eligible members of USAA, a leading financial services and insurance provider for military families. To date, 169,000 vehicles have been sold taking advantage of the USAA incentive.

"It's so good to see companies like Chevrolet step up to celebrate our service members," said Mel Otte, a disabled Air Force veteran who spent 13 years in the service.  "Every time I look at my Chevrolet honor badge, I pause to remember my brethren, many of whom have sacrificed their lives in service to our country."

Since 2010, Chevrolet and its dealers have collected more than 103,000 lightly used devices for Cell Phones for Soldiers, and converted them to 6.2 million minutes of free talk time for troops serving overseas.

General Motors has supported the U.S. military since 1917, when 90 percent of GM's truck production was directed toward WWI manufacturing. During WWII, GM converted all its plant facilities in support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's call for an "Arsenal of Democracy." The value of all war products delivered by GM to WWII efforts totaled more than $12 billion. GM is the largest commercial provider of military vehicles in history.

About General Motors Military Efforts

With nearly 5,000 military veteran employees, General Motors' support for the United States armed forces spans generations. Today, Chevrolet assists Cell Phones for Soldiers, Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans, the Fallen and Wounded Soldiers Fund, a variety of employment and grassroots initiatives, and is the Official Vehicle of the Army-Navy game. The GM Military Discount program offers the industry's best discounts on most Chevrolet, Buick and GMC vehicles for active-duty, reserve and retired service members and their spouses.

About Cell Phones for Soldier

Cell Phones for Soldiers Inc. (CPFS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing deployed and returning troops cost-free methods to communicate with family while serving in the United States military. Based in Norwell, Mass., CPFS was founded in 2004 by Robbie and Brittany Bergquist, then 12 and 13 years old. From the recycling of used mobile phones and cash donations, the organization has raised more than $7 million, collected more than 8.3 million cell phones and provided troops overseas with more than 114 million minutes of free talk time.

VEHICLE SAFETY
Chevy knows vehicle safety and collision prevention are top priorities when it comes to choosing a vehicle. That's why each Chevy model comes with an array of standard and available features that can help protect you and your passengers in the event of a crash.

Vehicle Safety First

Your family?s safety matters. Whether it's a short errand around town or a cross-country road trip, Chevrolet is committed to providing vehicle safety technologies to help keep you and your family safe ? from the start of your journey to your destination.

That's why most Chevy vehicles built today come with comprehensive vehicle safety and vehicle security features to help protect you before, during and, thanks to OnStar®,³ after a collision. That's why OnStar is available on most Chevy vehicles.

Safety Before

Chevrolet offers technologies that provide you with information and safety features specifically designed to help you avoid a crash. In this section you will learn how Chevy:

• Helps to keep your vehicle on track with an antilock brake system, stabilitrak and traction control
• Makes your vehicle easy to see with daytime running lamps (DRLs)
• Gives you early warning via a driver information center (DIC) and side blind zone alert

Safety During

Chevy boasts a long list of safety achievements, but perhaps the most important have been in the area of vehicle crash test technology and crash test safety ratings. In fact, for 2010, Chevrolet offers 16 models with a five-star frontal crash safety rating.³

Some of the vehicle safety technologies designed to help protect occupants in the event of a crash include a safety cage and crush zones, safety belts, air bags² and the LATCH system for child safety seats.

• Helping to reduce injuries with safety cage construction and crush zones, air bags² and safety belts
• Helping to protect occupants by securing kids with LATCH (Lower Anchors and Top tethers for Children) for child safety seats
• Crash test vehicle safety ratings

Safety After

Capitol Chevrolet has been officially named by General Motors as the area's authorized Saturn Service Provider.

In my job I find myself reading and watching a lot of business news throughout the day, everyday. It's a bad habit. Too much of this stuff can create fear and hysteria which causes a further contraction of the economy. A great president once warned the nation to be careful of "fear itself". We know that the only way out of this is to go back to business as usual.

I read a consumer survey the other day which found that, based on news reports, people believe that it is virtually impossible to obtain financing for a vehicle purchase. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!! Most smaller banks and the credit unions we represent have hardly missed a beat during the economic downturn. They have plenty of money to lend and their buying policies are still as strong as ever.

At Capitol Chevrolet we have a crack team of finance professionals who are linked electronically to all these sources, and their years of experience make them uniquely skilled in finding the right solution for each customer's need.

I'm going to break my bad habit of feeding my fear, and I urge you to do the same. Consult us if you have a transportation need that we can fill. We've been here 90 years and plan to be here at least 90 more.

Keep the Faith.
