A Day with a Legend
On Saturday October 31st, the legendary Terry Labonte spent the day with us. He was
here from 10am until 4pm and spent most of the day signing autographs and taking photos with his fans. People came from all over (within state and out of state) to see their race idol Terry Labonte. One fan drove all the way from Ohio to see him that day. The fans started lining up around 9:30am and stayed until he left at 4pm. Terry signed everything from die cast cars to hoods to the inside of a 2015 Camaro.


On behalf of Terry Labonte and Terry Labonte Chevrolet we would like to thank all of the fans that came out that day. Thank You!

Ryan’s Lemonade Stand

Terry Labonte Chevrolet and Hendrick Motorsports are proud to donate items to Ryan’s Lemonade Stand that will help raise money for the fight against childhood cancer. The event will be held from 1pm-5pm on September 26 at Chunks Hawg Haven in Colfax. Up for auction/raffle will be an autographed Jimmy Johnson hat, Kasey Kahne crewmember shirt and an autographed Terry Labonte hat. Performing will be rising country music artist Ross Coppley as well as lots of activities for the kids. Hope to see you there!


Ryan’s Lemonade Stand is a part of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.  Alexandra “Alex” Scott founded Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation on what seemed to be a simple concept. In the year 2000, when Alex was just 4-years-old and battling neuroblastoma, she told her parents that she wanted to have a lemonade stand in her front yard. She surprised everyone when she announced her plan to donate the money from the stand to “her hospital” to help the doctors find a cure for all kids with cancer.
As Alex fought her own cancer, she also continued to hold yearly lemonade stands to benefit childhood cancer research. News of Alex, a sick child helping other sick children spread far and wide. People from all over the world were inspired by her story and decided to help Alex in her quest to find a cure by holding their own lemonade stands and donating the money to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $1 million to help find a cure for all kids with cancer.

Ryan is the son of Ben and Natalie Altizer. Ryan was diagnosed in December of 2012 with Medulloblastoma and is currently cancer free.  The Altizer’s became a part of the Terry Labonte Chevrolet family in 2013 with the purchase of their new Tahoe. They have been back ever since

Chevrolet Safest Small Cars

Safety

Driving has become increasingly safe over the years, but some cars are safer than others in the same vehicle class. Two of the top 16 safest small cars are Chevrolets, Volt and All-New Trax.

Chevy Volt

When it comes to safety, there’s no mistaking that Volt has raised the bar. The Volt received a 5-Star Overall Score for Safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Chevy Volt comes standard with 8 airbags, StabiliTrak and Traction Control. Rear vision camera, Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure are just a few of excellent safety preventative measures available on the Chevy Volt.

  
                                                      






Chevy Trax

With the All-New Chevy Trax you receive a full 360⁰ of protection. With its high-strength steel safety cage and 10 standard air bags, Trax helps keep you and your passengers out of harm’s way. Chevy Trax received top pick for its group from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.











Remodeling
                                                   
Our renovations have been on the way for just over a month now. There has been a significant change since the start. A few walls have been knocked down and a few put back up. The manager’s area (the glass box) has been built and tiles in the floor and ceiling have been set. We should be moving over into that side of the showroom by months end, then renovation will start on the current side. All together the renovations should take about 3 months just for the showroom then the service and parts departments will start. Once all completed we will have a state-of-the-art facility for our customers to visit and enjoy.

Don’t forget to come visit us here at Terry Labonte Chevrolet. We are still open for business during this whole process. If you purchase a New Vehicle during this time you can receive an additional $500.00 on top of our already reduced prices.

Change..


Many people, places and things go through a change. Change is always meant to be for the better. Terry Labonte Chevrolet is currently going through a change. For next 3-4 months we will be going through a renovation period to make the dealership better. Just like Chevrolet does with their vehicles, they need to change to be better in the future. Our sales showroom will be more of an open concept with more room for cars and tables in the showroom. Parts and service will be upgraded as well with more room for accessories to be displayed and items on hand.


Chevrolets most recent vehicle to go through a change is the Chevy Colorado. Launched for the 2004 model year as a replacement for the smaller, outdated S-10 pickup, the Chevy Colorado was built as just one generation through 2012. Until 2007, the Colorado was powered by a 2.8-liter inline-4 with 175 horsepower or a 3.5-liter inline-5 that made 220 hp. For 2007, those engines grew to 2.9 liters with 185 hp and 3.7 liters with 242 hp, respectively. A 5.3-liter V8 rated at 300 hp became optional in 2009.




In 2015 the 2.5L I-4 engine boasts an impressive 27 MPG highway and the 3.6L V6 engine delivers 305 hp and produces 269 lb.-ft. of torque. The Colorado comes with all the latest available must-have entertainment and connectivity technology like OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi®2 hotspot capability. You can customize your driving experience by arranging the icons and features on the available Chevrolet MyLink 8-inch diagonal color touch-screen.
With change the 2015 Chevy Colorado was named MotorTrends Truck of the Year.

All in all Terry Labonte Chevrolet is making a change for the better of the customer and the dealership.
