Handy Chevrolet

Are you tired of having to search online for the auto part or car and truck accessory you need?  Does it bother you that, being such a popular vehicle, the 2012 Silverado 1500 you purchased looks just like your buddy's, your neighbor's, and Joe Schmoe's?  Is looking for new snow tires or all season tires the less preferred alternative to getting your teeth pulled?

If you said yes to any one (or…

The short answer:  you'd love our store even more, because it would feel like a place to BE... not a place you HAVE TO be.

Without question or debate, alternative fuels and hybrid technology are not only becoming more sought after in the new & used Chevy vehicle world but more imperative in the grand scheme of the automotive industry.  With the Toyota Prius starting a fast-growing trend, Chevrolet followed suit with a range of hybrid vehicles such as the Malibu Hybrid, the upcoming Malibu Eco, the Silverado Hybrid, the Tahoe Hybrid, and so forth.  But as great as hybrid technology is and will become the end game is simple:  fossil fuels are finite and as such we're operating on borrowed time.

Enter new technologies like the Chevrolet Volt EV or, as is the focus of today's blog, compressed natural gas or CNG technology.  Recently Chevrolet hit a huge sales milestone as AT&T has agreed to buy 1,200 CNG-powered Express cargo vans from Chevrolet through the year 2018.

Since we're in February in VT here at Handy Chevrolet of St. Albans and it has historically been one of the coldest months of the year here (although, and forgive me for jinxing it, this year's been mild compared to others), we thought we would give you a winter driver's safety tip blog to get you through to March and April when the (oh-so-looked-forward-to) thaw finally arrives with the birds and luscious green foliage.

For more on winter driving, be sure to check out Handy Chevrolet's Winter Car Care Guide from earlier in the winter (please note some of these tips could overlap; that just means they're good tips!) for a refresher on any of the content we discussed.  If you think you need a tune up or some such, schedule a service appointment with our Certified Service and car repair technicians or send them an email today.  You can also check out our winter tire menu sizes, pricing, and order forms if you think a little extra grip will make the difference you require.

When I was sixteen years old, I thought sloshing through puddles was excellent fun.  It sounds kind of silly 11 years later, but I vividly remember taking my 1991 Camry, my first car, and slowly getting more and more rambunctious as I toppled deeper and deeper puddles.  My favorite spot, in fact, was right here in St. Albans, Vermont over by Bellows Free Academy:  down at the corner of Catherine Street and Stebbins Street where…

In the world of muscle cars, racers, antique automotive collectorship, and even new and used Chevrolet vehicles in Vermont, one vehicle reigns supreme:  the Chevrolet Corvette.  And this summer - that's right, the summer of 2012 - the Corvette C6 (or in other words the 6th generation of Corvette) sees its ultimate form:  the 2013 Chevy Corvette 427 Convertible.  Featuring throwback design schemes, carbon fiber components, a full weight of less than 3,500 pounds, and over 505 horsepower pushing through the whopping 7.0-liter LS7 engine, the Corvette 427 in VT is sure to be another fan favorite - both of its own generation and future collectors.
