Camaro Fans Rejoice! The Z/28 is BACK!

Posted on April 3, 2013 by ChevyCars

Chevrolet recently announced the return of the Camaro Z/28 at the New York Auto Show, which is back after being discontinued in 2002. The Z/28 is the fastest, most powerful Camaro, and was created with a race-track focus. It joined the redesigned SS on stage at the New York Auto Show, sparking the excitement of those in attendance.

The Z/28 will sport a hand-assembled 7.0-liter V8 engine, also known as the “LS-7”, that pushes 500 hp. The Z/28 is truly a track-ready car, coming standard without boot lining or carpet, a thinner rear window, and no sound system to reduce weight. Also, air-conditioning is optional, making it lighter than the ZL1 Camaro.

With a 6-speed transmission, a track designed cooling system, and larger wheels and tires, the Z/28 is sure to make some noise at the race track, but Camaro enthusiasts will have to wait until 2014 to get their hands on one.

Stop in at Huber Automotive today to take a look at our current Camaro lineup, and ask one of our knowledgeable sales staff about the 2014 Z/28. Also, don’t forget to check out our full line of Chevrolet and Cadillac’s!

Car Care Tips Just in Time for Spring

Posted on March 25, 2013 by ChevyCars

With spring time right around the corner, we at Huber Automotive thought it would be a great idea to remind our customers of some very important car maintenance tips. After harsh winter conditions wreaking havoc on your engine and car exterior, as well as the interior when snow and slush are tracked in, there are a number of steps you can take to improve the life of your vehicle.

Listed below are a few maintenance steps that should be taken to improve your cars reliability:

CLEAN – inside and out
Check fluids – oil, antifreeze, wiper fluid
Check windshield wipers
Use a fuel treatment to clean injectors or carburetors
Get a tire rotation and check alignment and tire pressure

Cleaning is very important because the damage salt can cause your paint. Each winter, to improve road conditions, road crews routinely salt the roads. Unfortunately, much of the salt ends up on cars instead of on the roads.

Although checking fluid levels is a task that should be completed year round, many people don’t want to be out in the cold any longer than they have to and therefore do not take the time to check their fluids. To prevent engine damage or a number of other problems, make sure you check your fluids. Also, windshield wipers should be checked in the spring, as winter weather can easily destroy your wipers, and you will want working wipers during spring showers.

Finally, fuel treatment is important to clean out the sludge that cold weather causes in your engine, and due to the negative effects winter weather has on your tires you need to check the pressure and consider rotating them.

For oil or fluid changes, tire rotation, or alignment, stop in at Huber Automotives service department and let our friendly staff give you top of the line service in a timely fashion.

We look forward to seeing you!

To determine the winner in each class, U.S. News & World Report combined overall quality, size, and family-friendly features into a composite score.

Quality was rated by a combination of safety, reliability, and the opinions of automotive critics in the United States, while size was based on the vehicles seating capacity and interior space.

In the Compact Cars category, the Chevrolet Cruze took the award for best family vehicle. With a combination of plenty of seating and storage space, as well as great fuel economy and customizable options, the Cruze is a great compact vehicle for a smaller family.

Tips for a Fun and Safe St. Patrick’s Day

Posted on March 15, 2013 by ChevyCars

Saint Patrick’s Day is a great holiday to go out and have a good time with friends and family, and enjoy the company of others. Every year patrons pack the local pubs and festivals to enjoy their favorite pint of green beer and pretend to be Irish for a day. Sadly, there are always those that don’t make the best decisions, so we here at Huber Automotive put together some tips to help you make it through the holiday safely.

First, it is important to plan ahead. If you are going out and plan to consume alcohol, make sure you have made arrangements for a trip home beforehand. Also, because it is such a popular holiday, parking will be limited, so do yourself a favor and call a taxi. You won’t have to search for parking, you will have a safe, sober ride home, and you don’t have to worry about any damage to your vehicle that is sitting in the crowded parking from scratches, being backed into, etc.

Wear green, but skip the green beer! There are plenty of true Irish beer’s that will most likely be available, including Guinness, Smithwick’s, Harp, and Murphy’s, that not only skip the chemical’s found in the dye used to make green beer, but more than likely taste better.

Be safe, and have a wonderful weekend! Stop in and see us sometime and talk with us about our full line of Chevrolet and Cadillacs!

Three Chevrolet Vehicles Receive 2013 5-year Cost to Own Awards

Posted on March 7, 2013 by ChevyCars

When shopping for a vehicle the price is always important, but equally important is the cost of ownership. It is not uncommon for a vehicle to be cheap, but be more costly in the long run due to repairs and maintenance, which are two of the factors that went into Kelly Blue Book’s Cost to Own Awards. Three vehicles receiving this honor, the Volt, Silverado, and Impala, are available at Huber Automotive in Omaha.

To award the vehicles in their respective classes, Kelly Blue Book added up the factors that go into purchasing, and owning a car, which were repairs, maintenance, fuel, insurance, financing, state fees, and the depreciation of the vehicle over a five year time period.

In the Electric Vehicle category, the Chevrolet Volt received a Cost to Own Award and was also named “Best in Class”. To receive best in class a vehicle must be the cheapest to own over a 5 year span in their class, which the Volt was, thanks to very low fuel costs and rebates for owning an electric vehicle. This was the Volt’s second straight year winning the award.

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab and Chevrolet Impala were recognized in the Full-Size Pickup Truck and Full-Size Car categories for the second year in a row as well.

To learn more about these vehicles, make sure to stop in at Huber Automotive, or take a look at our online inventory!
