Tailgating at City Chevrolet!

You thought that Lowe's Motor Speedway was the only place to find tailgaters? You were wrong! Here are City Chevrolet's 1st "official" tailgaters. From left to right, meet Rusty Jenkins, City Chevrolet's Andy Snyder, Roger Mealey, Karen Mealey, and Debra Starkey. These folks hail from Lost Creek, West Virginia and came to Charlotte for the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, which was on Saturday, May 17th. In conjunction with the race, they planned on picking out and driving back to West Virginia in a new 2008 Silverado Crew Cab Z71, but not before doing a little shopping at Concord Mills. The Mealeys were referred to Andy Snyder by Roger's sister, Bobbi Jo Mealey, and were quite impressed with his customer service. Roger, Karen, Rusty, and Debra are all huge Dale Earnhardt, Jr. fans, and keeping with the commemoration of his father, we were able to transfer the lucky #3 stickers to their new Silverado. Their tailgating experience at City Chevrolet included pizza from Dominos and a few bottles of Pepsi. Wouldn't Jeff Gordon be proud. Thanks to Roger & Karen Mealey, Rusty Jenkins, and Debra Starkey for being such good sports!

City Chevrolet President's Club 2007

SIMPLY THE BEST!

The Hendrick Automotive Group President's Club Awards Ceremony and trip have come and gone. This year, City Chevrolet's top 5 salespeople were honored at a magical ceremony, the type that only Disney and Hendrick Automotive Group could produce, which was held at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Those in attendance were Dan Franklin (Commercial Sales), James Potter (New Car Sales), Andy Snyder (New Car Sales), Phil Goodin (Pre-Owned Sales), and Keith Black (Commercial Sales), along with their guests.

The theme of this year's awards banquet was "Simply the Best" and featured praises and words of wisdom from Kirk Heppler (Senior Vice President and Western Division C.O.F.), Tom Blocker (Senior Vice President and Eastern Division C.O.F.), Jim Huzl (President/Chief Executive Officer), and founder of the Hendrick Automotive Group, Rick Hendrick himself. Mr. Hendrick spoke about the philosophy of the Hendrick Automotive Group and the characteristics that the company prides itself on--character, hardwork, enthusiasm, a team spirit, and family. Above all else, Mr. Hendrick believes in taking care of his employees, the importance of family, and doing what is right for his customers.

As Rick Hendrick's flagship store, City Chevrolet has held itself to the same standards as Mr. Hendrick, right from the onset. He also spoke about what the President's Club represents to him. This elite group is the best of the best and together they uphold the highest standards in regards to personal growth, ethical conduct, and teamwork. The 2007 President's Club recipients accounted for 27,465.75 units sold, which is 22% of the total sales amongst the Hendrick dealerships. Congratulations to City's "best of the best" and we look forward to serving you, our valued customers, throughout the rest of 2008!

New 2008 Malibu arriving in November

Malibu will begin arriving at dealerships in the fourth quarter of 2007 and is set to appeal to a much broader customer base than ever before. Upscale styling with a new level of refinement and an impressive array of premium features are just some of the reasons it will be attractive to new buyers.

Malibu offers a 110-volt rear-seat power center, automatic dimming outside rearview mirror and black-tie premium eight-speaker stereo system, all of which are unexpected amenities of a vehicle offered in the midsize segment.

On the outside, its youthful sophistication and classic, bold American style will prompt interest from any customer browsing in your showroom. And a test-drive can pretty much help close a deal, thanks to Malibu's premium ride quality and impressive handling felt with both available engines - a 2.4L I-4 with 164 horsepower or available 252 horsepower 3.6L V6.

To top it all off, Malibu is designed to be one of the safest vehicles in the segment with great standard features like dual-stage front-seat air bags, front side thorax air bags, head curtain airbags, and a reinforced unibody with exceptional structural integrity. The all-new Malibu truly is a step forward from its predecessors and a new benchmark in quality, confidence, class and control for the midsize segment.
