Rick Hendrick's Generosity

Rick Hendrick, owner of several NASCAR teams and Hendrick Motorsports, and Chairman & CEO of Hendrick Automotive Group, came to visit "the new" City Chevrolet on Friday, November 13, 2009. City Chevrolet has recently experienced a "face lift." With mandates from Chevrolet on making all the Chevy stores look uniform, in addition to a little work that needed to be done, since City has been at its current location since 1966 without too many major renovations, we've had plenty of changes occur throughout the dealership over the past month.

While Mr. Hendrick (see photo above, first from right) was here, he got to chatting with Elizabeth Hastings (above, second from right) and her 9-year old son Andrew (above, second from left), who were purchasing a 2004 Suburban from Larry McCain (above, first from left). Elizabeth was expressing her gratitude to the team at City Chevrolet, specifically Larry McCain (salesperson), Bruce Forret (Pre-Owned Sales Director), and Jerry Ferrell (General Manager), for their assitance in helping her get the SUV she's been wanting.

The Hastings family has quite a story. Two years ago, son, Andrew, was hit (literally) by a car. Andrew lost his leg, and since then, has had 10 surgeries. His last surgery was in March of this year. Unfortunately, Elizabeth's husband, Sargeant Robert Hastings, had left for Iraq 2 days prior to Andrew's surgery and is still currently serving overseas. Andrew has a prosthetic leg and has had to have 8 prosthetics over the past two years, since he has to get a new one after each surgery and also as he grows. He is due to have at least 1 more surgery. In addition, Elizabeth Hastings is fighting Cancer.

Elizabeth tells us that Andrew has been asking for a Suburban for the past 2 years. He kept saying "We're never going to get a Suburban!" Needless to say, Andrew was surprised and delighted when they came in to finally get their Suburban. The Hastings have 3 children and the Suburban is much needed. Salesperson Larry McCain assured Elizabeth, "If it's the last thing on Earth I do, I'll get you a Suburban."

Elizabeth told Rick Hendrick this story when he was in here that day and Mr. Hendrick did something that took the breath away from Elizabeth and Andrew...he paid for their Suburban! As if meeting Rick Hendrick and having him pose for a couple pictures with her son wasn't exciting enough that day, they now had the Suburban of their dreams and it was already paid for. This is just one more thing that further displays the generosity displayed by Rick Hendrick. When I asked Elizabeth what she felt, she said, "It's amazing how God has been right there holding my hand through this ordeal. Andrew got hit and saw an angel on the side of the road. From that day, I knew that God was with us through the whole experience."

2010 Chevrolet Equinox redefines crossover concept

Setting new standards in the mid-size crossover segment, General Motors has launched 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. With its remarkable fuel efficiency, advanced safety features and aggressive design, the all new Equinox has pushed its nearest competitors to the back seat. The aforementioned virtues coupled with the Chevy warranty make the new Chevrolet Equinox a must buy. City Chevrolet, the leading dealer of Chevy vehicles in Charlotte is pleased to offer this true winner among mid-size crossovers to its customers at its wide inventory of new and pre-owned Chevrolet models.
Gently cruise through City Chevrolet's website to get an overview and exclusive images of 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. Log on to http://www.citychevrolet.com/research/virtual-brochure.jsp?linkFrom=selectModel&make=Chevrolet&model=Equinox&bodytype=any to get the specifications and virtual brochure of the new Chevy model.
The head to head comparison of Equinox with Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape shows how the Chevy model has outshone its competitors. Available in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels; the new Chevrolet Equinox gives an exceptional 32 mpg on highways, the best highway fuel economy of any crossover. This magic figure is unimaginable for CR-V and RAV-4 which could only deliver equal or less than 28 mpg.
The Equinox features six standard air bags: dual frontal air bags; head curtain side air bags and pelvic/thorax seat-mounted side air bags, standard four-wheel disc brakes with StabiliTrak electronic stability control, OnStar and traction control. Other thoughtful features include Multi-Flex rear seat with the most rear-seat legroom in its class, an available rear-seat entertainment system with dual seat-mounted DVD screens, and an available power programmable lift gate.
The new Chevrolet Equinox is powered by a 2.4L Ecotec direct injected 4-cylinder engine estimated at 182 horsepower. A 3.0L DOHC direct injected V-6 engine estimated at 255 horsepower is also available. Both the engines are mated to standard 6-speed automatic transmission.
All the Equinox trims are available for the residents of Charlotte at City Chevrolet dealership and are protected by the best coverage in America.

Meet Kylie Blank!

MEET KYLIE BLANK...City Chevrolet's youngest patron. Kylie just turned 5 years old on May 6th and is the daughter of Joanne and Bobby Blank, longtime customers of our dealership. Mom says that Kylie loves coming in to see City's primary mascot, Precious the dog. Precious used to come into the dealership with the late Papa Joe Hendrick, and has since been attached to Jake McFee. Every morning, Jake picks up Precious from Mrs. Hendrick's home nearby and Precious spends the day with Jake running errands and "shaking hands and kissing babies" around town. Whenever her mom and dad come in to service one of their 2 vehicles purchased from City Chevrolet, Kylie spends most of her time petting and playing with Precious. She also recently met our newly-adopted secondary mascot, Blazer the cat. Blazer is a stray that periodically came around the dealership looking for food. Every morning an employee will feed Blazer, so now it's like he (or she...we don't know) is part of the family. Kylie absolutely loves animals, as their family has 2 cats and a boxer named Roxie. When she is not playing and taking care of her pets, Kylie enjoys playing with her friends at daycare, dancing, and singing along with her favorite singers, the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana. To visit Jake, Precious, Blazer, and more of your favorite City Chevrolet family members, come see us at 5101 E. Independence Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28212. You can call us at 1-866-409-3466 or visit our website at www.citychevrolet.com.

General Motors Unveils Unprecedented Customer Protection Package--"GM TOTAL CONFIDENCE"

In a press release dated March 31, 2009, 10:00 a.m. ET, General Motors unveiled an unprecedented customer protection package called "GM Total Confidence." Here are the benefits under this protection package:
  • Payment protection for first 24 months of ownership...lose your income and we'll make up to nine payments for up to $500 per month
  • Finance a new GM vehicle and we'll help protect its retail value at trade-in time on your next GM vehicle
  • Safety and security of one year of OnStar, standard
  • Fully backed, 5-year/100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty with roadside assistance and courtesy transportation...provides the best coverage in the industry
  • http://www.gmconfidence.com/ website launched with program details

DETROIT--General Motors today announced the most comprehensive customer protection in the industry with "GM Total Confidence," a plan that protects a customer's paycheck, investment, vehicle, and family.

"Our Total Confidence plan is an unprecedented offer that reinvents the ownership experience in an extremely positive way," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Unlike other programs out there, 'GM Total Confidence' provides comprehensive coverage for new vehicle owners--from protecting their new vehicle investment to protecting their family's income. GM Total Confidence provides customers peace of mind in uncertain times."

The 'GM Total Confidence' plan:

  • PROTECTS YOUR PAYCHECK: 'Payment Protection*' provides up to nine months of payments on vehicle loans or leases ($500 max/month) if you lose your job for economic reasons. When looking for a job, you need a vehicle more than ever. 'Payment Protection' helps you get back on your feet.
  • PROTECTS YOUR INVESTMENT: Once you are halfway through your finance contract, the customer qualifies for 'Vehicle Value Protection.*' This helps protect customers against uncertainty in the future used car market. For example, on a 60-month contract, you become eligible after the 30th month. Much as we've seen home prices decline in this tough market--and homeowners may owe more than the current resale value of their house--'Vehicle Value Protection' provides peace-of-mind for customers when they want to go purchase another GM vehicle.
  • PROTECTS YOUR VEHICLE: GM's 5-year/100,000 mile transferable powertrain limited warranty (whichever comes first) plus roadside assistance and courtesy transportation. GM protects your vehicle with the best coverage in the business--so you don't have to worry. With the high quality of GM vehicles today, offering the best coverage only makes sense. See City Chevrolet for warranty details.
  • PROTECTS YOUR FAMILY: One Year OnStar 'Safety and Security' Package. Knowing that OnStar is there if you should ever need them really makes a difference. With Automatic Crash Response, OnStar's cutting-edge technology that protects your family when they travel. Visit http://www.onstar.com/ for more details.

"By protecting a customer's payment, investment, vehicle and family, we are reinventing the customer experience," LaNeve added. "The 'GM Total Confidence' plan addresses today's most pressing concerns for new car buyers...we asked customers what they wanted, and simply put, this package is it."

The "GM Total Confidence" plan is available for vehicles purchased April 1 through April 30, 2009. For more information, please visit http://www.gmconfidence.com/.

GM remains committed to our 3-Year/36,000 mile new vehicle Bumper to Bumper limited warranty, as well as our industry exclusive 5-year/100,000 mile, fully transferable powertrain limited warranty with no fees or deductibles. Now, as announced on March 30, 2009, the U.S. Treasury Department is providing an important back-stop to our coverage.

As announced by President Obama on March 30, the Administration is confident that GM will emerge as a stronger, more competitive company, and is committed to working with us to make this happen. This important announcement means your warranty is safe--PERIOD. What does this mean for consumers?
  • If you buy or lease a new GM vehicle during our restructuring period you will be eligible for the warranty protection.
  • You do not have to do anything to participate in the government's warranty back-stop program. It is automatic.
  • The U.S. Treasury will work with GM to implement its program to safeguard your warranty.

HENDRICK'S JIMMIE JOHNSON WINS AT MARTINSVILLE!

Congratulations to the driver of the #48 Lowe's Chevrolet, Jimmie Johnson, for taking home the victory in Martinsville for Sunday's 500-lap NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event! This was an extra-special day for team owner, Rick Hendrick, as this was the 25th anniversary of Team Hendrick's first win.

On April 29, 1984, Geoff Bodine took the #5 Chevrolet to Victory Lane at this track. This win, 25 years ago, earned Team Hendrick a sponsor for the season and helped jumpstart what is now an organization that holds 12 NASCAR championships. On Sunday, March 29, 2009, the Hendrick Team celebrated with Jimmie Johnson, as it picked up its 176th Cup win.

Johnson crossed the finish line .774 seconds ahead of competitor Denny Hamlin. Johnson was followed by his Hendrick Motorsports teammates, all who posted top-10 finishes. Congratulations to the entire Hendrick Motorsports team, from your flagship store, City Chevrolet.

Alex Anzaldua...Employee and Volunteer

City Chevrolet's Spanish-speaking Pre-Owned Salesperson, ALEX ANZALDUA, was featured in "The Charlotte Observer's Local & State" section on Tuesday, March 24, 2009. It was quite a moving article, written by Mark Price, about how Alex went from being a patient of the Ada Jenkins Center clinic to a volunteer. Alex jammed his toe last summer but did not get it checked out immediately. Due to the fact that Alex's hours had been cut at work and he no longer had health insurance, he waited nearly 2 months before seeking medical attention. Alex had attempted to get treated at 2 other free health clinics, but had been turned away because either he didn't live in the correct zip code or he did not have an appointment. It was then that he found himself at the Ada Jenkins Center in Davidson, the free health clinic that essentially saved Alex from losing his foot. Gangrene had set in and luckily, he only lost his toe instead of the entire foot. Alex was extremely grateful for the clinic and said, "I told the people at the clinic that, as soon as I was able, I was going to find a way to pay them back for helping me." Alex didn't waste any time living up to his promise. It has been 8 months since Alex's surgery and he continues to volunteer weekly at the Ada Jenkins Center, as he is a Spanish-language interpreter for this United Way agency that provides free health care to the residents of Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, and Mooresville. Nearly 50% of the visitors that the clinic treats are Latinos. Alex says, "They're like I was--no money and no health insurance. On top of that, many of them don't speak the language, so they let things go." This clinic is basically on the honor system. They don't require an appointment or proof of U.S. citizenship. If you'd like to reach Alex Anzaldua at City Chevrolet, please contact him at 1-800-868-2489 or http://www.citychevrolet.com/. However, on Thursday afternoons, you can find Alex at the Ada Jenkins Center in Davidson, NC.

All Cameras On Rick Hendrick's Camaro!

Mr. Hendrick...Say "CHEESE!" What an exciting day it was at the Oshawa, Ontario General Motors assembly plant on Monday, March 16, 2009. Owner of the largest privately-held automobile organization and Hendrick Motorsports, Rick Hendrick brought a team of roughly 17 of his top dealers from Charlotte, NC to commemorate the first official day of production for the all-new 2010 Chevy Camaro. The Camaro was discontinued from the Chevrolet line-up back in 2002 and has become one of the most highly-anticipated new-car launches in automotive history.
General Motors has already pre-sold 14,000 of the new Camaros. However, Rick Hendrick paid a pretty penny to be able to get the 1st Camaro off the production line...$350,000! This was done earlier in 2009 at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Event which guaranteed Mr. Hendrick the 2010 Camaro with a VIN that ended in 0001. All of the proceeds from this sale went to the American Heart Association. Chevrolet had also agreed to sell him VIN 0002, which onlookers were pleased to capture on their cameras, as well.
VIN 0001 was a loaded Black Camaro SS with the optional Inferno Orange leather interior. VIN 0002 was a Silver Ice Metallic Camaro SS with Black leather interior. Rick Hendrick is truly a motivational speaker and he rejuvenated the General Motors' factory employees by saying, "I want to tell you loud and clear that these products that you are building today are the best I've ever seen in the 33 years I've been a dealer. We needed the rebirth of the Camaro." He then proceeded to sign t-shirts and memorabilia for the factory employees, as many proved to be avid NASCAR fans.
Amongst the team of top dealers that Rick Hendrick had accompany him to this monumental occasion, was City Chevrolet's very own General Manager and Executive Vice President, Jerry Ferrell. Jerry was so excited upon his return and shared the day's events with any employee who asked and was proud to show his photos of this once-in-a-lifetime event.
If you would like to order your very own 2010 Camaro, visit http://www.citychevrolet.com/ and click on the Camaro on the homepage. Or, call our Camaro Enthusiasts at 1-866-409-3466 to claim yours! To leave you with a word from Mr. Hendrick: "You build 'em and we'll sell 'em."

2009 Best New Family Vehicles!

Congratulations to Chevy's 2009 Malibu, Tahoe Hybrid, and Traverse
for making it to KBB.com's list of
"2009 Best New Family Vehicles!"
Here's what KBB.com has to say about our vehicles:
The 2009 Chevy Malibu gets 26 mpg (22 city, 33 highway). As a fuel-friendly family sedan, the newest Chevy Malibu has some seriously strong credentials. Not only does it offer class-leading fuel economy topping out at an impressive 33 highway miles per gallon, it also edged out the Honda Accord to win the KBB.com 2008 Family Sedan Comparison Test.
The 2009 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid gets 21 mpg (21 city, 22 highway). Car-based crossovers continue to displace traditional SUVs in suburban driveways, but for big families with big passenger/cargo/towing needs, the full-size SUV remains indispensable. The Chevy Tahoe Hybrid is as green as it gets in this arena, and still offers towing capacity of up to 6,200 pounds.
The 2009 Chevy Traverse gets 19 mpg (17 city, 24 highway). Boasting more cargo volume than even its Chevy Tahoe stablemate, the Traverse is the biggest crossover on the road - yet it beats the fuel economy of many smaller three-row vehicles. We like all the Traverse's siblings - Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, Saturn Outlook - but the Chevrolet has the lowest starting price, which makes it our family pick.
To check out the 2009 Chevy Malibu, the 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid, the 2009 Chevy Traverse, or any of the other exciting vehicles in the Chevrolet family, go to www.CityChevrolet.com or contact our Internet Department at 1-866-409-3466.
