Handy Chevrolet

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.

Consider it the ultimate example of automotive sibling rivalry: Shortly after the announcement of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible-destined to set new performance benchmarks for a Camaro drop-top-big brother is answering with the fastest, most capable convertible Corvette to ever come down the production line: The 2013 Chevy Corvette 427 Convertible.

It's a reincarnation of a classic that also celebrates some notable landmarks for…

Which is better:  the Chevy Corvette or the Chevrolet Camaro?

As our our staff here at Handy Chevrolet of St. Albans, Vermont has said many times over, we LOVE the new model year's arrival!  Every year it seems to be more exciting than the last, however with constantly improving feature sets and new technology, more fuel efficient engines, and increasing hybrid and quasi hybrid technologies like GM's eAssist, debuting on the upcoming 2013 Chevy Malibu, what's not to love?

As it is…

Let me start today's blog by being super clear:  I struggled with how to word the title of my blog today and didn't mean to confuse anyone.  The title, if you are sitting there, scratching your head wondering what I'm talking about, refers to the Chevy Sonic's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash test, or more poignantly, the Sonic's first year in said test.  I'm sure you realize…

If you read Chris' blog Should Volt owners REALLY be worred?, you know he's pretty heated about the subject... but what is GM really going to do about it?  Having already issued a press release stating they will buy back any Volt from any concerned customer, but they aren't stopping there.

In today's blog, we look at the new equipment General Motors and Chevrolet are placing on all Volt electric vehicles, which is a more protective battery casing, a tamper-resistant coolant cover, and a better coolant system overall.  Read More and leave us your thoughts via the comments section of the blog.

The news has been aflame (pun definitely indended) lately with stories - as in made up pieces of fiction - regarding the supposed combustion of the Chevrolet Volt's batteries after a horrific accident.  The problem?  Just like what our sister store Handy Toyota of St. Albans, VT went through, GM, Chevrolet, and the Volt's collective names are being dragged through the mud.  For instance, did you know that General Motors will allow a worried Volt owner to return their car?  Did you know that the Volt batteries that caught fire were sitting for weeks, sometimes months on end, and nobody bothered to turn off the electricity as they were properly trained?

In today's blog, Chris Dugan poses the question:  is it really GM or Chevrolet's fault... or is someone not doing their job?  Read more and let us know your opinion in the comments section.
