OnStar Saves the Day...Again!

This is a real-life situation where, yet another customer, is help by OnStar. OnStar leads the industry in the most comprehensive options of Stole Vehicle Assitance services. OnStar's exclusive Stolen Vehicle Slowdown technology made all the difference when it came to OnStar subscriber, Jose Ruiz, on October 18th in California.

Only about 16 minutes after being notified, OnStar provided GPS location to the police department and remotely deployed Stolen Vehicle Slowdown to gradually bring the stolen vehicle to an idle speed and prevent a high-speed chase, which could have injured many unsuspecting people. Thankfully, this story has a happy ending with no injuries, and the subscriber getting his Tahoe back the same day with no damage and all belongings still inside the vehicle. And, the police caught the bad guy!

2008 Chevy Malibu...Well-equipped for Safety

While the Malibu is designed to give you a comfortable, confident driving experience, it is, unfortunately, not invisible to accidents. One of City Chevrolet’s customers recently got in an accident in her less-than-7-month-old 2008 Malibu. Another driver ran a red light going close to 55 mph. Fortunately for our customer, she and the at-fault driver of the other vehicle walked away unharmed. As you can see, the crash was concentrated in the front end, thus mangling the engine and totaling the vehicle. What is truly remarkable is that she walked away without a scratch. Chevrolet made the 2008 Malibu with you and your family in mind when it comes to safety. Every model comes standard with six air bags: dual-stage frontal with right-front Passenger Sensing System, head-curtain side-impact (front and rear outboard passengers) and frontal seat-mounted thorax side-impact. All models include four-wheel antilock disc brakes, and on select models, the StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System helps improve vehicle stability, particularly during emergency maneuvers. With OnStar’s Advanced Automatic Crash Notification, in the event that you are involved in a collision (even if the air bags don’t deploy), your vehicle can automatically send a signal to OnStar, where an Advisor will attempt to contact you to see if you need help. The impressive front body structure is what saved our customer. This is designed for a “progressive crush” during a frontal crash. This absorbs and channels crash energy in a controlled manner to help preserve occupant space in the passenger compartment. The safety of the 2008 Chevy Malibu is only one of the many reasons that our customer has decided to replace her totaled vehicle with yet another 2008 Malibu. I would venture to say that it was the most important reason.

Thank goodness for Chevy. 2008 Malibu

THE NEW CHEVY MALIBU TAKES FLIGHT!

While US Airways' headquarters is located in Charlotte, NC, what I saw during my recent flight to Buffalo was pleasantly unexpected. As the US Airways' flight attendant was coming around with beverages, I flipped down my tray, much to my surprise, to find a Chevy Malibu advertisement right in front of me! While I knew that the Chevy Malibu has surely made its impact on the road, little did I know the impact that it has made in the air! I felt a little strange as I reached over to put down the tray to my right to check and see if mine was a fluke. Sure enough, there was a 2nd ad for the Malibu coupled with OnStar. Everywhere I looked I saw traytables with full-size advertisements. I know the neighboring passengers looked at me sheepishly as I pulled out my camera to snap a shot, but I didn't care.

The slogan reads: "You relax. We navigate. Kind of like what you're doing now." It goes on to say "OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation. Standard for one year on Chevy Malibu. Not on Camry or Accord." Open your garage, your new 2008 Chevy Malibu is cleared for landing!
