August is National Brake Safety Awareness Month, so Lester Glenn Chevrolet invites you to pay attention to your brakes performance and watch for anything that could signal a problem. Heres how you can keep your brakes functioning safely and how we can help with helpful, dependable

!

Healthy, operational brakes are nonnegotiable for safe and consistent driving, but brake hardware will degrade and become less reliable over time. Thats why having brake parts serviced or replaced regularly by professionals is integral to Chevy maintenance.

Common brake problems include:

Worn and cracked brake pads or rotors

Loosing-fitting brake pads

Uneven torque variation

Jammed caliper pistons

Air or contaminants in brake lines

If you suspect your vehicle is experiencing issues, schedule service with a professional to avoid a severe safety hazard. Sometimes its obvious theres a problem with your brakes, but other times the signs are subtle. Here are three signs your brakes need service right away:

The brake warning indicator should light up when the brakes are engaged. If the light remains on after you disengage the brake, it may mean that the brake pads are worn down or cannot release fully.

When brakes are engaged, unusual noises such as whirring, grinding, or squealing are symptoms of various hardware problems. A Chevy service professional can help you diagnose and repair these problems.

Loss of brake fluid is a sign of a leak, which is a serious safety hazard. If you notice this sign, schedule service immediately and avoid driving until the problem is fixed.

If youre concerned about your vehicles brakes, the best thing to do is to schedule an appointment at the

service center in Toms River, NJ. Our experienced professionals will ensure that every drive is safe, smooth, and fun!

No matter where youre going, theres nothing better than having your best friend by your side, especially during road trips. If you plan on going on an adventure with your pet, taking steps to keep both of you safe is essential. Here are four tips for driving safely with pets, courtesy of

.

If your pets arent used to riding in the car often, they may be anxious about doing so. Before you have them accompany you on a long-distance road trip, consider taking them on some shorter journeys so they can get used to the ride.

The backseat is the safest place for a pet. Its where they will be most secure in the event of an accident, and they wont be able to interfere with your driving.

Remember that our parts department carries and can special order

tailored to travel with pets. Since conventional seatbelts dont work for animals, consider investing in a safety harness seatbelt, carrier, or car seat designed for your pet. These will keep them safe at all times.

On longer trips, you may need something to keep your pets entertained along the way. More importantly, youll need to provide them with food and water. Bring any toys, blankets, or other items that will make your pet more comfortable, and stock up on treats, food, and water.

You should never leave your pets alone in the vehicle, even for short periods. Without you to watch them, they could escape, injure themselves, or cause damage. They may also overheat or become too cold if you are not there to regulate the temperature.

At Lester Glenn Chevrolet, we love animals, so were pleased to offer a selection of great accessories and vehicles for pet owners. For plenty of pet-friendly

There are many benefits to electric vehicles like the

, including helping you save on fuel and reducing your carbon footprint, but did you know they also have some significant tax benefits? Heres a breakdown of how EV tax credits work at New Jersey Chevy dealerships like Lester Glenn Chevrolet.

The federal government and the state of New Jersey currently offer non-refundable tax credits on the purchase of electric vehicles. This means you can significantly reduce the sales tax you owe on a new car by choosing an electric vehicle.

The federal government offers credits of up to $7,500 on qualifying vehicles. If the car youre purchasing meets the governments critical mineral or battery requirements, youll receive a tax credit of $3,750. Cars like the 2023 Chevy Bolt EV, which meet both requirements, are awarded a $7,500 tax credit.

An initiative called ChargeUp New Jersey allowed qualifying EV buyers to earn a state tax credit of $25 per mile of EPA-rated all-electric range up to $4,000. This program is temporarily paused and isnt expected to come back into effect until fiscal year 2024. However, things can and do change, and if that happens, your Chevy dealer will ensure you get every credit for which you qualify.

You can receive EV tax credits on any electric vehicle that meets the governments requirements. However, there are other prerequisites. You must purchase the car for your own use, intending to use it primarily in the US, and its MSRP must be below $55,000.

Some limits are also placed on your modified adjusted gross income (AGI). For instance, couples filing jointly with an AGI of over $300,000 cant receive these credits.

Lester Glenn Chevrolet proudly participates in the EV tax credit program by offering qualifying vehicles like the Chevy Bolt EV. Visit us today for

If you’re looking to get behind the wheel of a Chevrolet vehicle, buying a used Chevy car can be a great option. Buying a

saves money, but it also gives you more options and access to Chevrolet’s Certified Pre-Owned program, making buying a used vehicle just as safe as buying one new.

A used car will always have a lower sticker price than a new vehicle, but that’s not the only way it saves you money. A lower price leads to lower insurance costs, lower dealership fees, and a lower sales tax, as all three are based on the car’s sticker price. Used cars are also better investments, as the biggest depreciation the first year of driving may have already passed.

Over time, certain models are phased out and are no longer available, but can still be bought used. The 2020 Chevrolet Sonic was the last version of the popular Chevrolet sedan, but can still be found used, as is the 2019 Chevrolet Impala. If you love these discontinued models, shopping used is your best way to get behind the wheel.

If you want just as much confidence driving off the lot as you would with a new vehicle, the Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned program is a great option. Every certified pre-owned Chevrolet vehicle undergoes a 172-point inspection and a full CARFAX vehicle history report. And with complimentary On-Star Services and two factory-backed limited warranties, you can feel confident no matter where you are.

Buying a used Chevrolet is a great way to get behind the wheel. Come down to
