New Smyrna Chevrolet teams up with South East Volusia Soccer Club to help raise thousands of dollars for youth soccer program.

New Smyrna Beach, Sep. 12, 2011 – In the spirit of teamwork taught by youth sports, New Smyrna Chevrolet is teaming up with South East Volusia Soccer Club to provide 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.

South East Volusia Soccer Club will have the opportunity to raise as much as $10,000 through a fundraising opportunity where one lucky recipient will win his or her choice of a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox or Cruze. Another lucky winner will receive a Home Entertainment Package.

New Smyrna Chevrolet and other Orlando-area Chevrolet dealerships are donating these prizes to participating leagues in the area. One-hundred percent of the proceeds collected from the fundraiser go directly to the leagues. The funds may be used in any way the league chooses.

A one-time sponsorship check will be presented by New Smyrna Chevrolet to South East Volusia Soccer Club. The league also will have an opportunity to raise additional funds for their use as part of a Chevy Youth Soccer Fundraiser.  Sponsored leagues across the country will each receive 2,000 fundraiser entry tickets to distribute for a suggested donation, and the league will keep 100% of the proceeds raised.  At the end of the fundraiser, there will be four winners of a Chevy Equinox or Chevy Cruze vehicle of choice (up to $24,995 in value), and in each participating market there will be a secondary prize of a home entertainment center valued at $1,000.

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.

Car Financing

Posted by Jack – February 3, 2010

Many people ask;

“Is it better to finance through a bank or the dealership?”

What I always tell folks is that generally financing through the dealership is much better than a bank. Banks normally give the dealerships better rates due to the shear volume of the contracts they sign. Since dealerships represent millions of dollars in opportunities they get the better rates versus a single individual as one loan.

In addition, dealerships have many financing options so they have the ability to make the banks compete for the business. In the end, it means better rates for you and a lower payment.

New Smyrna Chevrolet is “Green” with Nitrogen

Posted by Jack – January 26, 2010

Most people don’t know that filling your vehicle tires with Nitrogen is a safe and better alternative to just regular air. Nitrogen in tires has become a popular replacement for standard air. Nitrogen is the most abundant gas around us at about 78% nitrogen with oxygen at 21% and then the rest that include small amounts of other gasses that I’m not even sure how to pronounce.

I’ll mention the environmental reasons in just a moment but lets just consider general maintenance first. Did you know that using regular air to fill your tires decreases the life of the tire, has the potential to degrade the rim safety and impacts the balance of your tires with alignment? Well it does. Now lets consider some other advantages. When considering tire inflation with nitrogen you can see improvements in a vehicle’s handling, fuel efficiency and tire life through better tire pressure retention, improved fuel economy and cooler running tire temperatures.

Now lets consider the environmental impact. This topic is much debated but it comes down to common sense. The general argument that Nitrogen is better for the environment is simple. Most people do not check their air regularly enough to optimize fuel efficiency. With Nitrogen the pressure retention is so much better that you don’t have to feel guilty about forgetting to check the pressure every time you fill up. Better fuel efficiency is better for the environment.

If you are one of those folks that carry around a pressure gauge in your pocket then I guess this doesn’t apply :) .

Check out the Discover Channel video Jay Leno did on the topic. No matter what side of the fence you are on in the environmental advantages argument there are clear reasons why Nitrogen is a better alternative to your standard air machines.
