Sentes Chevrolet. New and Used Chevrolet.

Sentes Chevrolet's automotive expertise is a product of our sustained interest in industry trends and characteristics. We are privileged to share the latest news, promotions and events with you and hope the information will enhance your shopping experience. As you know, there are many new cars from which to choose, and we believe an informed customer is the best customer.

From our first room, to our first locker, to our first vehicle - we rearrange, decorate and leave our distinctive mark on the spaces we fill. What we carry in our vehicles says almost as much about us as do the vehicles we choose to drive.

Whether it's the technology and features we add or the accessories, gadgets and belongings we bring with us, each driver creates a personal space in his or her own way.

But when it comes to safety, most of us have a few things in common. At minimum, we should all have a well-stocked first aid kit and a basic set of tools including:

* Screwdrivers - Phillips and flat head
* Pliers
* Set of good socket wrenches
* Duct tape
* Electrical wire tape
* Electrical wire spray
* Flashlight with extra batteries
* Small fire extinguisher
* Jumper cables

Who we carry affects what we carry

But those are just the basics. A more personalized approach to safety and preparation includes the consideration of passengers and how a driver intends to use a vehicle. Here are just a few examples of safety tips for different types of drivers.

Drivers with kids

Parents know that "accidents" happen inside the car all the time. Always anticipate the consequences of a delay due to traffic or mechanical trouble and have extra diapers and basic baby supplies in the trunk at all times. Also avoid storing children's beverages in containers that may become super-heated in the trunk.

Car poolers

Sharing a ride means sharing the responsibility for everyone's safety. Asking carpool buddies to store laptop computers and briefcases in the trunk creates a much safer environment inside the cabin. In the event of a crash, these items can become lethal projectiles.

Mobile professionals

Electronic devices and wires are potential hazards in any vehicle. Whether it's a cell phone, laptop or MP3 player, many of these electronic devices have multiple wires that can become a tripping hazard. Mobile professionals who may carry clients or prospects in their vehicle should take the time to assess any items that may cause tripping or injury during a collision.

Road-trippers

In addition to following the advice above, road-trippers are most susceptible to getting caught in unfamiliar territory and running out of gas. Adding a small gas can is a good idea if your route takes you off the beaten path.

The time to think about your safety plan is before you need it. Consider the people who count on your good driving and make a plan today.

GM Canada Announces Increased Production to Meet Rising Demand

Oshawa, ON, August 18^th, 2009 Oshawa - GM Canada is increasing production at its assembly plants in response to increased consumer demand for new GM vehicles. The company will add overtime and a new shift to respond to the strong demand for the new Chevrolet Camaro and Equinox and the GMC Terrain.

GM is reinstating the third shift at CAMI, in Ingersoll where the next generation Chevrolet Equinox and the all new GMC Terrain are built. The third shift will begin in October and result in the recall of 350 CAMI team members.

Additionally GM Canada has advised employees that overtime for the hot new Camaro at the Oshawa flex line will continue at least through the end of October. The plant has been running steady overtime each Saturday since June to keep up with the high demand and backlog of customer orders for the Camaro.

"The addition of the third shift at CAMI and the continued overtime at the Camaro flex line is terrific news for our employees, the CAW, dealers and suppliers. We are running our plants to maintain maximum flexibility and keep production tightly aligned with customer demand. The uptick in sales is an encouraging sign and we are able to ramp up quickly to meet customer needs," said Arturo Elias president, GM Canada.

The increased production for our Canadian plants is due to increased demand in Canada and the US and is a demonstration of the customer acceptance of the Equinox and Camaro. The Equinox has the best highway fuel economy in its class and has garnered high praise from the motoring press. The new Camaro with its smokin' hot design and exceptional fuel economy has captured the imagination of customers and led to a solid order bank.
