Welcome from Nucar Chevrolet!

Revved Up For 2012 January marks the beginning of an exciting year, filled with brand new reasons to drive a Chevy. With owner loyalty if you own a 1999 or newer GM product you may be eligible for up to $1000! Are you looking to purchase a Silverado or Avalanche to ride out the winter weather? If so and you have a trade you may be eligible for an additional $1000 bonus cash! It's a great new year with great Nucar deals! Chevy has a reputation for performance, durability and exceptional value. And this year we're convincing non-Chevy owners to find that out for themselves. All they have to do is drive one mile in any of our cars, trucks, SUVs or crossovers. We dare them to. A new year is the perfect time to recharge those batteries. Speaking of which, did you know on average for less than the cost of a latte1, you can fully charge a Chevy Volt and drive an EPA-estimated 35 miles gas-free2? Find out more about the first electric car that runs on more than electricity on our Volt page. Of course fuel-efficiency runs deep throughout our entire Chevy lineup. And this year you'll have a chance to drive the most fuel-efficient midsize sedan in our history. It's an Eco for a new era. And since we're all about improving driving conditions anyway we can, we have some tips you might find useful as you travel in the cold and ice this winter. Driving safely on icy roads Decrease your speed and leave yourself plenty of room to stop. You should allow at least three times more space than usual between you and the car in front of you. Brake gently to avoid skidding. If your wheels start to lock up, ease off the brake. Turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists. Keep your lights and windshield clean. Use low gears to keep traction, especially on hills. Don't use cruise control or overdrive on icy roads. Be especially careful on bridges, overpasses and infrequently traveled roads, which will freeze first. Even at temperatures above freezing, if the conditions are wet, you might encounter ice in shady areas or on exposed roadways like bridges. Don't pass snow plows and sanding trucks. The drivers have limited visibility, and you're likely to find the road in front of them worse than the road behind. Don't assume your vehicle can handle all conditions. Even four-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles can encounter trouble on winter roads. Once again we would like to thank you for a great 2011 and wish you and your family a happy and healthy 2012.
