Friendly Chevrolet Salutes Great Chevy Commercials

While flipping through channels this weekend, I couldn't help but notice how many ads are presented by auto manufacturers. It would seem every commercial break had one celebrating this new model or some fancy award. This got me thinking, does anyone remember these these commercials years later? Do these messages really stick with anyone? My pondering led me to go search out some of the most memorable Chevrolet commercials that stuck with me. I'd like to take a minute to share them with you.

"Like a Rock" Chevy Trucks 1990's

This spot focuses on the toughness, durability, and reliability of Chevy Trucks. The theme song, Bob Segers' "Like a Rock" has become the motto for what today's Chevy Truck stands for.



"Chevy Lyrics" Superbowl 2007

Speaking of great songs, many great musicians have featured Chevrolet in their music throughout the years. The Chevy Superbowl ad from 2007 showcased people singing many of these great lyrics to their beloved Chevrolet's.



"Swapping Rides" 2006

Chevy can also lay claim that people of all walks of life love our Brand. A recent Impala ad featured Rapper T.I. car swapping for the day with NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.



"Man I Feel Like a Woman"

Throughout the years, the Chevy Brand has also highlighted the humorous side of life. My favorite instance is this spot showcasing the interior space of the Chevy Colorado.



"Original Camaro Commercial"

Recently, there has been much hype over the 2010 Chevy Camaro release, and deservedly so. However, I enjoyed taking a look back at this spot from the early 1960's highlighting the original release of Chevy's Ponycar.



I hope you enjoyed this look back at great Chevy commercials, and like me, eagerly await the next great spot that will define this brand.

Notice: GM Recalls 2005 - 2010 Chevy Cobalt for Power Steering Issue

General Motors is recalling the 2005 - 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt due to problems with the power steering system.

GM will be notifying customers, presumably by mail, when the plans for this recall are finalized.

There is no need to contact the dealership at this time.

The fault in the power steering system does not cause the steering to fail but can make steering more difficult. According to a statement by GM "the affected vehicles can be still be safely controlled but it may require greater steering effort under 15 mph. Drivers will see a warning light and hear a chime if the power steering fails." The issue has been noted to occur over time on older models, often out of the warranty stage.

Customers in Washington State including puyallup, tacoma, sumner, auburn, kent, federal way, parkland, bonney lake, and seattle are encouraged to contact our Service Department if you have further questions.

I took my vehicle in for oil change...a complete check was done, tires rotated etc. They told me what they found and got my ok before any extra work was done such as fixing tire that had a screw in it. Everyone was super friendly and the work was done quickly. Plus they washed my car!

My experience with Friendly Chevrolet was AMAZING!! Michael Cady was very informative when I contacted the dealership and when I came down he hooked me up with their great sales staff. Then I met Joe in finance. He was awesome! The professionalism was outstanding and I would recommend everyone I know to buy their car from Friendly Chevrolet. I've had bad experiences in the past at car dealerships, but when I came to Friendly it was awesome. Thanks again for selling me my 2010 Equinox! That's my baby! And I love it!

GM Certified Used: Why Buy a Certified Car From Friendly Chevrolet?

Friendly Chevrolet is proud to serve the residents of Western Washington, including Tacoma, Auburn, Sumner, Kent, Federal Way, Seattle, and our hometown of Puyallup. We are the #1 Volume Seller of Corvettes in the Pacific Northwest. However, we would also like to point out that we are a leader in sales of GM Certified Used Vehicles. What is a GM Certified Vehicle you may ask? More importantly, why should I care to buy one?

First of all, a vehicle must meet strict standards to become eligible to be certified. Vehicles must be 2005 or newer and have less than 75,000 miles. All others need not apply. Next, the vehicle must pass a thorough 117 point safety inspection and have all required maintenance brought up to date. If a vehicle cannot meet these standards, no certification can be awarded. As you can see, certified vehicles stand out from the pack and are among the most sought after of used vehicles.

So what are the benefits of the Certification? Well, the first should be peace of mind. Everyone worries that when buying a used vehicle, they may be getting a dud, something that will break down a week after driving off the lot. With a certified vehicle these fears can be put to rest. Beyond the 117 point inspection (most inspections are 50 point or less) GM offers a 12 Month - 12,000 bumper to bumper warranty on all certified vehicles. On cases where vehicles are still under original factory warranty (3 yr - 36,00 mile) the new certified warranty is added on top. In some cases, such as as lightly used 2010 model, the addition of a certification can result in a longer more comprehensive warranty than when the vehicle was purchased new.

Finally, a slew of other benefits and perks are included with the program. These include: 24 / 7 roadside assistance, 3 day / 150 mile Customer Satisfaction Guarantee Exchange Program, Vehicle History Report, Towing and Rental Coverage, and a 90 day trial of XM Satellite Radio and OnStar for equipped vehicles.

Next time you are looking to purchase a used vehicle, consider seeking out a GM Certified Vehicle. The cost may be a few extra dollars, but can you really put a price on peace of mind? For more information on the certified program or to see our selection of GM Certified Vehicles, visit www.friendlychevrolet.com or stop in and see us at 400 River Road in Puyallup.
