Posted by Jack – December 22, 2011

New Smyrna Chevrolet Gives Away 2012 Chevrolet Equinox through Chevy Youth Soccer Orlando

New Smyrna Beach, December 22, 2011 – In the spirit of teamwork, New Smyrna Chevrolet teamed up with the South East Volusia Soccer Club and provided their players and coaches with soccer kits filled with equipment bags, soccer balls, sport cones, scrimmage vests and t-shirts, a sponsorship check and an opportunity to help them raise funds.

The South East Volusia Soccer Club raised thousands of dollars through a fundraising opportunity where a local Edgewater, Florida family won a new 2012 Chevrolet Equinox.

New Smyrna Chevrolet, with the support of the Orlando Chevrolet Dealer Group, donated these prizes to the South East Volusia Soccer Club and one-hundred percent of the proceeds collected from the fundraiser went directly to the participating leagues.

“We are proud to have been able to help the kids in our community by donating equipment and giving them the opportunity to raise much-needed funds for their league. We are also excited, especially during the holidays, to give away a brand new 2012 Equinox to a local family. It has been a pleasure to work with the South East Volusia Soccer Club and give back to the community that supports our business” said Jack Holcomb, Owner of New Smyrna Chevrolet.

New Fuel Economy Labels Good For Everyone

Posted by Jack – May 26, 2011

This month the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released the most progressive update to fuel economy labels. The new labels, for 2013, will appear in showrooms and online, so that shoppers will have more information at their fingertips. The new label will provide consumers with new information on vehicles’ fuel economy, energy use, fuel costs, and environmental impacts.

The new window stickers will show how new vehicles rate on a scale of 1-to-10 on fuel economy and emissions.

The new labels will also show how much more or less consumers will spend on fuel over five years compared to the average.

These new labels will be great for everyone, dealers and consumers together. The guesswork will fade, making the sale for all sides a better experience all around.

Buying a Used Car, Truck or SUV

Posted by Jack – December 9, 2010

Being a car dealer I always get asked, “Jack, is it better to buy new or used?” and I appropriately respond, well both!

Buying a used versus new car, truck or SUV really depends on what you are looking for. If you want the latest and greatest then a new vehicle is what you want. With all the incentives right now on new Chevrolet Chrysler Jeep and Dodge models going new can make economical sense.

However, don’t shy away from used vehicles. In fact, if you look at our Certified Used vehicles, Chevrolet or Chrysler Jeep Dodge, you can practically get everything you want if not more.

With these Certified Used car, truck or SUV programs you get:

  • warranties
  • road side assistance
  • fully inspected vehicle
  • vehicle history reports
  • satellite radio

So if you go used I highly recommend you look at the Certified Used programs. You get a near new vehicle with the additional peace of mind that you are covered under a warranty.

New Smyrna Chevrolet hits home run for area youth baseball!

Posted by Jack – August 25, 2010

New Smyrna Chevrolet Donates More Than $3300 in Cash and Sports Equipment to City of New Smyrna Beach

New Smyrna Chevrolet, one of 14 Chevrolet dealers from the Orlando area that partnered with local youth baseball leagues for the 2010 baseball season, raised nearly $46200 in total donations from the dealership and private parties. In addition to monetary support, New Smyrna Chevrolet provided City of New Smyrna Beach with equipment donations, an opportunity to raise (and keep) up to $10,000 through a unique fundraiser, and participation in a baseball clinic led by Daytona Cubs.“

Chevrolet has a long history with baseball and we’re glad we were able to bring that commitment to our youth leagues in New Smyrna Beach where our customers and their families live, work, and play,” said Jack Holcomb for New Smyrna Chevrolet. “The instructional clinic was the highlight of the season for many of the kids.  They had a blast – and, frankly, we did too.”

New Smyrna Chevrolet partnered with the City of New Smyrna Beach because of the league’s proximity to the dealership.  Equipment donated by New Smyrna Chevrolet included equipment bags, ball buckets, coach’s clipboards and t-shirts. In addition, the dealership helped donate either a Chevy Malibu or a Chevy Equinox to be used as a fundraiser by the league.  The winner of the fundraiser got to choose one of the two vehicles.

“We are delighted to be involved with the American tradition of youth baseball,” said Jack, of New Smyrna Chevrolet. “Sponsoring City of New Smyrna Beach gave us the opportunity to illustrate our commitment to the youth and families in New Smyrna Beach and we’re glad to have achieved such positive outcome for the community.”

In 2010, more than 980 Chevrolet dealers participated in Chevy Youth Baseball and helped raise more than $3 million for youth baseball programs across the USA.  Now in its fifth year, more than $11 million has been contributed to youth baseball in the communities where Chevrolet’s customers live, work, and play.

GM tests hydrogen fuel cells in Hawaii

Posted by Jack – May 18, 2010

GM announced that it will begin testing hydrogen fuel cells in the state of Hawaii. In collaboration with Hawaii’s major gas provider GM anticipates having 50 or so of these vehicles on the ground. Hawaii wants to reduce it’s dependency on gas by 70% so GM believes this is a good way to continue testing the hydrogen fuel cell to meet that goal.

This shows great initiative by GM, along with its other testing here on the mainland, to continue to look for fuel alternatives. Having our dealership here in Central Florida and so close to Orlando, Tampa and Daytona Beach we are certainly concerned about the drilling incident in the Gulf of Mexico so searching for alternatives is extremely important.

Chevrolet vs. Toyota – Toyota Leads In Recalls!

Posted by Jack – January 7, 2010

For years domestic manufacturers have been pointed out as not meeting the standards and quality of our imported competitors. However, is that really the case? Our line up continually grows and out shines our competitors on many fronts.

So now we have Toyota taking some hits and I have to say I’m not necessarily sad about it. We’ve been getting pounded over the years while they just got the unofficial nod. It is about time folks start looking at the numbers and not just assuming Toyota is better because they are an import.

We’ve fallen at times but we always get up and face our hurdles. I’m glad we are turning things around but I will be interested to see how Toyota handles their situation and their customers.
