When it comes to the Chevy parts and accessories you can rely on, Scott Chevrolet has you covered. We make it easy to repair, upgrade, and personalize your vehicle, and we’re sharing some helpful tips for safely driving with pets, plus the accessories you’ll want to look for. 

Get them Accustomed to the Car

If you know you will be taking your pet on a longer trip in the future, it can be helpful to accustom them to the car with smaller drives. Show them that the vehicle can be fun and comfortable and that not every drive is a trip to the vet. This will make future rides safer and easier for both you and your pets.

Make Separate Spaces In Your Car

Another important step you’ll want to take to ensure safe driving with pets is separation. Even the best-behaved pet can get spooked or irritated when out on the road, which can distract the driver. Setting up a pet area and keeping it apart from the driver area ensures distraction-free driving every time.

Use Chevy Accessories

You’ll also want to make the most of the pet-friendly products and accessories we carry for Chevrolet drivers at Scott Chevrolet. Seat covers, and all-weather mats will protect your vehicle’s interior, while harnesses and crates will protect both you and your pet when you drive.

A little bit of Chevy service can make all the difference when it comes to your vehicle’s safety, comfort, and longevity, and that’s especially true when it comes to driving in inclement or extreme conditions. Scott Chevrolet has your closer look at the best service tasks to schedule for your vehicle this summer, including the following.

Oil Changes

The oil in your vehicle is essential, especially in the summer months. It helps to keep the engine from overheating and prevents the parts from grinding together. It also captures dirt and debris from the road before it can cause any damage to the engine. Because summer roads often have a lot of sand, dirt, and other grime, it’s a good idea to schedule an oil change for the start of the season.

Battery Inspection

When the temperature gets very hot or cold, it can significantly affect the capacity of your battery. Extreme temperatures can even lead to battery corrosion. Rather than getting stranded with a dead battery on your next summer road trip, consider bringing your Chevy vehicle into our dealership for a battery inspection and a replacement, if needed.

Keep Your Cool

Cooling is important for your and your passengers’ comfort, so we suggest an A/C system inspection, followed by maintenance if necessary. Your vehicle suffers in the heat, too, so have the radiator inspected and the coolant topped off so the engine doesn’t overheat.

Schedule Summer Service at Scott Chevrolet

Car care is important all year long, but each season brings unique challenges. These are just a few of the summer service tasks we offer for Chevy drivers here at Scott Chevrolet. Visit our dealership to get the summer service that makes the difference today.

When it comes to Chevy financing, Scott Chevrolet has your back. We provide the tools and information you need to take home the right car at the right price, and we’re sharing everything you need to know about EV tax credits. Here’s a closer look at how to save on your favorite EV models. 

Changing Federal Requirements

In the beginning, nearly all EV models qualified for the federal tax credit of up to $7,500, but because so many new models are hitting the market, the requirements to qualify have become much stricter. The primary conditions for qualification concern where the vehicle was assembled and where the parts are from, beginning with the EV being built in North America.

Further requirements have to do with critical minerals, at least 40% of which must come from the U.S. or fair trade partner nations. Another stipulation covers battery components, 50% of which must come from the U.S. or fair trade nations. There are also requirements for the size of the battery, 7kWh, and for the vehicle, a maximum gross vehicle weight rating of 14,000 pounds.

Pennsylvania Credits and Requirements

Don’t lose hope if your favorite EV model doesn’t qualify under these new federal regulations. It may qualify under state regulations. In Pennsylvania, rebates are available for EV models based on your income. New, pre-owned, and demonstration vehicles are eligible, with $2,000 rebates for battery electric vehicles, $1,500 rebates for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), and $500 rebates for compressed natural gas vehicles, propane-fueled vehicles, and electric motorcycles.

Chevy vehicles have long combined traditional quality with cutting-edge technology. However, times change, and what was advanced a decade ago is making way for newer, more advanced options. This is why the OnStar® program, which has long provided connectivity and assistance on the open road, is leaving several older GM models, as Scott Chevrolet explains. 

Which Models Are Affected?

What vehicles will be affected by the sunsetting of the OnStar program? This decision will primarily affect models from 2014 and older, with some early 2015 models also losing access. In addition to Chevrolet vehicles, GMC, Buick, Cadillac, and discontinued brands like Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Saturn, and Saab are affected.

Why is This Taking Place?

The decision to remove access to the OnStar program isn’t arbitrary; instead, it’s due to the changing tide of technology. These vehicles access OnStar through Verizon’s 2G network, which is officially shutting down in favor of more advanced high-speed and high-bandwidth 4G and 5G connectivity.

How Can I Get Coverage?

The good news is that you can take your OnStar coverage on the go, even if it’s unavailable through your vehicle. To start, you can call OnStar support to learn about your options and the reflected changes in billing. Next, you’ll want to ensure the OnStar app is downloaded and updated. With the OnStar app, you’ll have the same services you currently rely on, like Mobile Crash Response, Roadside Assistance, Emergency Services, and Stolen Vehicle Assistance.

Learn About OnStar Programs at Scott Chevrolet

If your vehicle is among those losing OnStar access and you’re wondering what comes next, help is close at hand. Scott Chevrolet can ease the transition or even help you pick a new OnStar-capable model for yourself today.

Chevy service is essential for protecting your vehicle, maintaining vehicle value, and reducing the need for costly repairs. But you want to be sure that you’re scheduling the highest quality service that will make a difference, and that’s where Scott Chevrolet can help. We’re sharing a closer look at why you’ll want to skip the quick lube shop for service and bring your vehicle to the experts instead. 

They’re Not Certified

There’s no guarantee that the team who takes your vehicle at an express shop has any experience working on cars, especially not your make and model. You may drive away with hidden damage or incorrectly serviced parts and systems. We’ve had to perform extensive and very expensive work because a quick lube “technician” put the wrong fluid in the wrong reservoir, causing catastrophic engine damage. At Scott Chevrolet, we offer Chevrolet Certified Service, so you know your vehicle is getting proper care from a team that knows best.

They Focus on the Bottom Line

Quick-service shops are all about quick money, so you may find yourself paying for services and repairs you didn’t intend to purchase or don’t even need. Worse still, they may charge full price for cut-rate services. For example, quick lube shops often top off by adding a few ounces of fluid to a reservoir but charge you for a complete fluid change. Since it’s all about money, you can never entirely trust if your vehicle needs the service or care recommended.

They Often Use Cheap Parts

These often pad their margins by selling cheap parts and fluids at a significant markup. You may not get the same performance, and if replacement parts are involved in your service, they may be more prone to damage. At Scott Chevrolet, we’re proud to carry and use genuine Chevy parts, so you can trust that your vehicle will run at the top of its capacity for a long time to come. See what others in the community are saying about Scott Chevy service!

What makes a Chevy lease the right option for you when the time comes for a new car? The truth is that there are many benefits to leasing over buying and many different ways to make the leasing process work for your needs. Visit Scott Chevrolet to learn more about the benefits of leasing your next car, including some of the following. 

1. Your Down Payment is Lower

Leasing is overall less expensive than purchasing a car, but one of the most immediate benefits is a lower down payment. When your down payment is lower, you don’t need to wait as long to save up for the next car.

2. You Can Drive Home in a Brand New Car

Most vehicles available for lease are the latest models available on the market. That means you’ll always have access to the newest performance, entertainment, and safety technology when you lease a vehicle.

3. You’ll Be Able to Change Cars Regularly

Most lease terms will last two to five years, at which point you can trade-in for a new car or extend your lease. With this process, you’ll always be able to swap out and trade in, which means you’re never stuck with a car you don’t love.

4. You Don’t Have to Sell

When you purchase a vehicle, you must find a buyer before buying a new car. When you lease, you only need to bring your vehicle down to our dealership, drop it off, and choose your next car. Resale is the dealership’s problem, not yours!

5. You Won’t Need to Worry About Repair Costs

Because the terms for a lease are so short, most leases are entirely covered by warranties and guarantees. That means you likely won’t need to pay out of pocket if your leased vehicle has defects or premature parts failures since it’s still under warranty.

Lease a Chevy at Scott Chevrolet

These are just a few of the benefits you can expect from leasing a vehicle. Visit Scott Chevrolet to find the best new model for your needs today.

With the right Chevy parts, you can keep your vehicle safe, responsive, and comfortable for a long time. That’s where Scott Chevrolet can help. We’re not just here to help you pick out the perfect car. We’re also here to ensure it drives as smoothly as the day you first took it home, so we’re sharing a closer look at some of the Chevy parts you’ll want to replace in your vehicle soon. 

Safe Driving: New Brake Pads

The life of your Chevy vehicle’s brake pads will depend significantly on where and how you drive. For instance, if you spend more time driving in the city or high-traffic conditions, your brake pads must be replaced every 20,000 to 25,000 miles. If you log more highway driving with fewer stops, the brake pads can last about 40,000 to 60,000 miles.

Economy and Responsiveness: New Tires

It’s essential to schedule regular tire services, like fill-ups and rotations, but you’ll also want to replace your tires over time. While the absolute longest that tires can be on a vehicle is about ten years, we highly recommend replacing yours no less than every six years. Watch for damage and wear, and check your auto manual to know when it’s time for new tires. Remember that all of this applies to your spare, too!

Starting and Lighting: New Battery

The battery on your Chevy vehicle has an average life of three to five years. But, similarly to the brakes, a lot depends on where and how you drive. Allentown’s hot summers and freezing winters mean you may have to replace your battery more often. Watch for signs of wear, like the smell of sulfur or difficulty starting your car, especially in colder temperatures.

The Chevrolet Camaro is a vehicle with a decades-long legacy. It helped set the standard for American performance engineering and has dominated at the track and on the open road for decades. It is a vehicle that has and will continue to go down in the history books. The 2024 model may be, in fact, the last chapter of the Chevy Camaro story, so Scott Chevrolet is putting its past and present in context. 

Chevy Camaro History at a Glance

Chevy Camaros were first introduced in the 1960s; as more young buyers entered the market, the demand for speed and performance grew. They were called muscle cars for their power, capability, and speed off the line, and the first Chevrolet Camaros were produced from 1967 to 2002. In 2010, the model was revived with an even more powerful engine and high-tech performance features. The sixth generation of Chevy Camaro models started in 2016 and will last until the final model rolls off the assembly line.

What’s Happening to the Chevy Camaro?

Chevrolet has recently announced that the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro will be the last model to wear the badge before its retirement. The sixth generation will come to a close with the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro model year, and true enthusiasts will also have the option of checking out a Special Edition option. It’s important to note that the 2024 model ends the generation but might not be the end of the lineup entirely. There’s no successor yet named for the Chevrolet Camaro, but there’s a chance we’ll see this performance-driven vehicle on racetracks worldwide or its reincarnation as a sporty EV. Rather than a goodbye, Chevy is saying “see you later” to one of the most iconic cars in history.
