Want to help ensure that your Chevy Blazer is in peak condition? It’s pretty simple. All you have to do is follow this Chevrolet maintenance schedule.

Every Few Months

Check Your Tire Pressure
Did you know that the air pressure in your tires doesn’t stay the same? Because it fluctuates with the temperature, this is something you should monitor. Keeping it at the right psi (pounds per square inch) helps improve fuel economy and safety.

Top-Off Your Fluids
Many systems in your car require fluids, including the brakes, transmission, and power steering. And in order to function as they should, their fluids have to be at the proper levels.

Every Six Months

Change Your Oil
You should have your oil changed twice per year regardless of how often you drive. This is because oil gets thicker as it ages, which affects engine performance. Always having fresh oil will also augment your gas mileage.

Rotate Your Tires
Your tires don’t wear down the same way, and the best way to correct this is to have them rotated. In addition to improving how they perform, this will help you get many more years and miles out of them.

Every Year

Test Your Battery
Batteries have a pretty short lifespan, as they usually last between three and five years. When you get it tested every year, you’ll know how much charge it has left and whether you should get a replacement.

Inspect Your Brakes
Around Toms River, NJ, you probably do a lot of stop-and-go driving, and your brakes feel the brunt of this. This is why it’s essential to gauge the health of pads, shoes, and other parts, and you can do this with yearly inspections.

If your Chevy Blazer is in need of some maintenance, make an appointment with the service center at Lester Glenn Chevrolet.

While pickups can be great daily drivers and even perfect family cars, they are still made to be workhorse vehicles. If you’re looking for a truck that likes to get dirty, the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 is it.

Here we go over why this is a very sought-after pickup by construction crews and other people who need to do a lot of towing:

Power
The Chevy Silverado 1500 comes with a 4.3-liter V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque. If those numbers aren’t enough, you can instead opt for one of four other engines:

• 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder: 310 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque
• 3.0-liter turbodiesel six-cylinder: 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque
• 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower: 383 lb-ft of torque
• 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower: 460 lb-ft of torque

You can get either an eight- or a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but four-wheel drive is an option.

Towing Capability
Few models can compete with the Chevy Silverado 1500 when it comes to tow rating. While the base V6 can tow between 7,200 and 7,900 pounds (based on cab and trim), those numbers get increasing higher with the other engines:

• Turbo-4: 9,000 to 9,600 pounds
• Turbodiesel: 9,000 to 9,500 pounds
• 5.3-liter V8: 9,300 to 11,500 pounds
• 6.2-liter V8: 9,100 to 13,300 pounds

There are also several towing features you can add, such as hitch guidance, a multicamera trailer system, and a trailer sway controller.
If this has convinced you that the Chevy Silverado 1500 is the right truck for you, come down to Lester Glenn Chevrolet in Toms River, NJ to see what it can out on the road.

Planning to take some road trips this year? If they’ll involve visiting areas with steep terrain or perhaps you want to get off roads completely, here’s why you’ll want to take a look at the 2022 Chevy Colorado.

Power

The Chevy Colorado comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that pumps out 200 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque. There are two other available engines as well. The first is a 3.6-liter V6 that puts out 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque and the other is a turbocharged 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel that produces 181 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

Both four-cylinder engines come with a six-speed automatic transmission. The V6 comes with an eight-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while four-wheel drive is available.

Off-Roading

There are a couple of trims that are specifically designed for rugged terrain. Both the Z71 ZR2 come with a heavy-duty suspension system, locking front and rear differentials, and hill descent control.

The ZR2 also adds a tow-speed transfer case, a transfer case shield, and off-road rocker protection. For the ultimate off-roader, you’ll want the ZR2 Bison. This comes with 17-inch wheels and 32-inch off-road tires, and AEV bumpers and skid plates.

Towing and Hauling

If your outdoor adventures will involve towing something like a camper or boat, the Chevy Colorado will give you what you need. While the base engine can tow up to 3,500 pounds, the V6 doubles that to 7,000 pounds. The turbodiesel will add an additional 700 pounds to that number. The V6 is the best for hauling, as it offers a maximum payload of 1,550 pounds.

To see if the new Chevy Colorado is the right truck for you, come down to Lester Glenn Chevrolet in Toms River, NJ to take it for a test drive.

Driving can be fun, but it has a way of quickly becoming routine and, dare we say, even boring. But, it’s not the same roads you take every day that elicit this boredom: it’s your car.

If you want to add some fun and excitement to your daily drive this year, it’s time to change vehicles, and here’s why the 2022 Chevy Camaro could be the perfect replacement:

Power

The Chevy Camaro comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that generates 275 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. There are also three other engines to pick from:

• 3.6-liter V6: 335 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque
• 6.2-liter V8: 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft of torque
• Supercharged 6.2-liter V8: 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque

A six-speed manual transmission is standard, but an eight-speed automatic is available. And the V6 and V8 engines can be equipped with a 10-speed automatic.

Acceleration

To say that the Chevy Camaro will get you up to speed quickly is a bit of an understatement. The base model goes from zero to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. The 6.2-liter V8 will do that in four seconds. And if that’s still not fast enough, the supercharged V8 will get you from zero to 60 mph in a ridiculously quick 3.5 seconds.

Handling

In addition to being speedy, the Chevy Camaro also cuts corners like a sushi chef cutting sashimi. Its sharp steering and strong brakes make it an absolute pleasure to drive. Rear-wheel drive and a limited-slip differential are standard. You can also opt for Brembo brakes and a sport or performance suspension system.

You have to try out the Chevy Camaro to see what it can do, and you can take it for a test drive around Toms River, NJ when you come down to Lester Glenn Chevrolet.

Planning to sell your used Chevrolet? Chances are good that it has given you years of great performance and reliability.

But, if it’s time to look for something else, perhaps a bigger vehicle or one with more advanced features, you should get the old car ready to be sold. To get the most money for it, there are three things you need to do.

1. Fix Minor Issues

The first thing you’ll want to do is take a walk around your car and give it a good inspection. If you’ve had the vehicle for a while, it probably has some scratches or perhaps a dent or two.

While it may seem like a hassle, you should strongly consider fixing these issues. In addition to potentially raising the car’s value, this will show possible buyers that you’ve taken great care of it.

2. Give It a Good Cleaning

Even if you don’t intend to fix the small stuff (or maybe there isn’t anything to fix), you definitely want to head to a car wash or get out a bucket and sponge. Thoroughly clean the outside and make it shine. Also, vacuum the carpets and clean the dashboard and upholstery.

3. Check Its Value

Do you know what your car is worth? You won’t be able to get a fair price for it without this information.

At Lester Glenn Chevrolet in Toms River, we make this easy. Through our online form, you can get the Kelley Blue Book value of your car. You can then get an instant cash offer that is good for seven days. Or, you can get a trade-in credit and use the money towards a new car. Contact us for more information.

Lock-outs are the worst. This is especially true if you’ve ever left your keys in the ignition. You see them through the window just dangling there; so close, yet so far.

Fortunately, there are things you can do to avoid a lock out. Our Chevy service offers some advice in this area, as well as how to handle this frustrating situation.

How to Avoid Being Locked Out

Get a Spare Key

If you have a spare key, you’ll never have to worry about being locked out. Of course, this means you may need to bring it with you wherever you go.

If you don’t want to carry it around, then consider one of those magnetic boxes you can put your key in and stick to the underside your vehicle.

Use a Digital Key

If you drive an older car, this may not apply. But, for more modern vehicles, you should be able to set up your smartphone to connect with your car.

This will give you a digital key that will allow you to unlock the vehicle. It might also offer other features, like letting you start the engine remotely.

What to do If You’re Locked Out

Get a Hanger

Since you’re probably not walking around with a hanger in your purse or pocket, this one may be tricky. If, however, your car just happens to be parked near a dry cleaner, perhaps they’ll be so kind as to give you one.

Call For Help

If you can get in touch with somebody who can get your spare key, maybe they’ll be able to come to your rescue. If not, perhaps you can call your auto club for help.

Lester Glenn Chevrolet in Toms River always aims to give our customers helpful tips about car ownership. Check out our blog for more information.
