Winter is coming…

Are you ready?  The autumn colors and cool mornings can only mean one thing, winter will be here soon.  The fall is the best time of year to make sure your vehicle is ready for winter driving conditions.  Regular maintenance and inspections makes sure you or your passengers won't be left out in the cold.  Keeping up with your factory recommended maintenance schedule improves reliability and gives you superior control of your vehicle at all times. 

 

An added benefit is that a properly maintained vehicle will operate more efficiently which will reduce gas expense.  Experts say that before winter you should have your battery tested to ensure your vehicle starts on cold mornings, check tire tread depth to make sure your tires are not worse and will keep you on the road safe, have tires rotated to ensure even tire wear, make sure your wiper blades are in good shape to clear the snow and ice off your windshield, top off your windshield wiper fluid, and make sure your heater blower is operating properly. 

 

It is also important to makes sure your differential is working correctly.  The differential controls the speed of the left and right wheels and allows the wheels to rotate at different speeds while turning or if you are slipping on ice.  A differential service removes old contaminated fluid and replaces it with manufacturer approved new fluid as well as cleans the gear box and surface areas. 

 

All Hubler locations offer free 27-pt. vehicle inspections, check tire air pressure and will top off all fluids for you. This free "pit pass" is the first step to make sure you are ready for the winter driving season. Schedule Today and Happy motoring!

Hubler Chevrolet and Hubler Mazda was Proud to Sponsor the Central Nine Career Center Safe Halloween Event!

On Thursday night Central Nine Career Center in Greenwood had the 3rd annual Safe Halloween Event for the local community.  Hubler Chevrolet and Hubler Mazda were proud to help sponsor this event.  It is so important to provide kids with a safe environment to trick or treat.  The entire facility was transformed into a haunted house and over 5,000 ghosts and goblins came in for a scary night and tons of free candy.  Attendance has doubled every year and it really was a lot of fun! Hubler is dedicated to supporting our local community and we were glad to help out.  All the kids loved the candy and some got there pictures taken inside the “pumpkin” colored Camaro and “scary” black Mazda 3.  We even gave out some free service coupons and carwashes so the parents had a “treat” of there own.  We will see you there next year!

Reasons to buy Chevrolet Cruze

 Now Chevrolet Cruze Eco has established itself as a genuine player among environmentally friendly small sedans. Chevrolet Cruze has plenty of features for you to like not to mention it sips fuel, with new exterior design it's easy on the eyes, and it's got an unusually solid feel on the road you will not get that from yesteryear's compacts, which you can say were penalty boxes that you had to put up with till you could afford something little better, this Chevy is a genuine alternative to larger cars, offering all the features you want in a much more efficient package. Let us give some reasons you should consider taking a closer look.  
 
Reasons to buy the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze:
 
Plenty of Features: The Cruze Eco may be a fuel miser, but it's hardly stingy when it comes to creature comforts. Standard niceties include air conditioning, power accessories, a tilting/telescoping steering wheel, satellite radio, and GM's OnStar telematics service. An affordable options package adds Bluetooth, a USB port, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, and cruise control.
 
Reasonable Price: The 2012 Cruze Eco starts at just over $19,000 with the manual transmission and about $20,000 with the automatic. That's pretty reasonable for such a strong all-around package. Most cars with this kind of fuel economy don't have the Cruze's confidence-inspiring ride and handling, nor its pleasing design inside and out. Considering how few compromises the Cruze Eco requires, we consider it a bargain.
 
Awesome Interior: It's a new era at General Motors, and the Cruze Eco's cabin is a great example. The dashboard has an upscale rakish slant and plentiful aluminum-look accents, while the front seats are comfortable and nicely contoured. Even the steering wheel feels like it belongs in a more upscale vehicle. It's always a pleasant surprise when a small sedan seems more expensive inside than it really is.
 
Rugged Styling: Rather than adopt the "look at me!" styling favored by some small-sedan rivals, the Cruze Eco keeps it classy. There's real substance in the way this car looks, from its clean, crisp character lines to its confident stance. It's a sophisticated design, and also one that's likely to age well. Just one more reason why the tidy Cruze Eco is an enticing alternative to larger, more expensive four-doors.
 
 
Wait there's more. often said that 40 is the new 30. Usually people are referencing age. But in the car world, manufacturers are racing to deliver 40-mpg highway ratings to buyers who are fed up with rising gas prices and dwindling paychecks.
The Chevrolet Cruze Eco is a viable small car alternative that reaches that rarefied 40-mpg highway air. It competes directly with a whole bunch of cars, including the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, Mazda 3, Mitsubishi Lancer, Nissan Sentra, Subaru Impreza, Toyota Corolla and Volkswagen Jetta.
Perhaps you've driven a few of these in your quest for better fuel economy. If you're still on the fence about which car to choose, here are five reasons to drive the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze Eco.
 
Remarkable Fuel Economy: Aided by lightweight wheels, low rolling resistance tires, and novel airflow management system with automated grille flaps, the Cruze Eco gets up to 28 miles per gallon in the city and 42 mpg on the highway. That's about as good as it gets for a non-hybrid sedan. Those numbers only apply to the smooth-shifting six-speed manual transmission, but even if you opt for the six-speed automatic, the Cruze Eco still registers a healthy 26-mpg city and 39-mpg highway.
 
 Go ahead test drive a Cruze today.

About South Central Indiana Corvette Club:
  The South Central Indiana Corvette Club was started in 1992 by four men who loved The Great American Sports Car - The Corvette!   These charter members of the club decided to have a car show.  At the first car show there were 4 Corvettes, 4 men, and one boom box with two speakers.  While enjoying their show they discussed how to bring in other members who loved the Corvette as much as they.  Each year the club grew more than the year before.  By 1999 the club had established a partnership with a charity.  The proceeds from that show, a few hundred dollars, were donated to The Ronald McDonald House in Indianapolis.  Our 18th Annual Car Show in August 2010 was a success.  We had over 52 cars participate from all over the state, and outside the state as well.  The proceeds from our 2010 car show were over $4,000 for the Ronald McDonald House.  Our club grand total donation to date is over $74,000 for Ronald McDonald House.
