Here at Art Gamblin Motors, your Covington Car Dealer, we understand that great safety in a vehicle involves much more than just what happens during a collision. And the 2013 Chevrolet Spark embodies this approach to safety very well. Although Spark is a small efficient car, it’s very big on safety. The Spark was designed with a full array of class-leading safety and security features. It delivers comprehensive safety before, during and after a collision. In order to provide excellent safety before an accident ever happens, The Spark features the following:

Standard 4-wheel Antilock Brakes

Provide confident stopping ability.

Brake Assist

Brake Assist senses emergency braking by detecting the speed or force the driver applies to the brake pedal and boosts the power as needed. Under certain conditions, the Brake Assist may activate the ABS more quickly and easily than vehicles without the feature.

Standard Electronic Brake force Distribution

Balances braking forces across all four wheels for outstanding stopping performance and more even brake wear.

Traction Control

All Spark models feature a standard Traction Control system that limits wheel spin when one or both of the drive wheels begin to lose traction. When this happens, the system brakes the spinning wheel(s) and/or reduces power to limit wheel spin.

StabiliTrak Electronic stability Control Sys tem

StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System uses a yaw sensor, lateral accelerometer and steering angle sensor to continually monitor the driver’s steering input and the vehicle’s actual course. If the vehicle does not respond properly, StabiliTrak automatically engages the appropriate braking and traction controls to help the driver get back on the intended course.

Standard Daytime Running Lamps

Automatically illuminate to help make the vehicle more visible to other drivers and pedestrians. 

Tire Pressure Monitor

The Tire Pressure Monitor system transmits tire pressure readings from each tire to the Driver Information Center (DIC) so the driver can take action to ensure all tires are properly inflated. A  raphic on the DIC shows real-time PSI values.

OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics

Every month it automatically sends you an email with the results of hundreds of checks of your  engine, transmission, antilock brakes and more.

2012 Chevrolet Cruze Production

Here at your Bonney lake Chevrolet Dealer, we are proud to present the brand new 2012 Chevrolet Cruze. We know that power, performance and efficiency of a vehicle are all key considerations for customers, which is why this vehicle strikes a perfect balance between all three of these standard requirements. Essentially it can be described as versatile. The Cruze offers two different powerful ECOTEC engines that use constant variable valve timing systems that result in a promising high performance. While the Cruze is indeed one of the largest cars in its class it manages to maintain the best-in-class fuel economy! The standard LS Cruze has the 1.8L DOHC 4-cylinder engine. This commanding and efficient 138 horsepower engine grants 90% of its total torque over a broad spectrum from 2200-6200 rmp. This means that the Cruze grants excellent responsiveness and performance at any speed. All and all the Chevy Cruze Reliability is astronomical.

The ECOTEC 1.4L DOHC turbocharged 4-cylinder engine comes standard on Cruze LT, Eco and LTZ. This engine gives you the efficiency of a small displacement engine and the power of the turbocharger, giving the Cruze the power usually reserved for much larger, less efficient vehicles. The turbocharger is integrated into the exhaust manifold, which makes its full power available without any delay. This 1.4L ECOTEC engine, while powerful and high performing, is also one of the most fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engines in the world! A 6-speed manual transmission is standard with the LS, LT and Eco Cruze. The expertly engineered synchronizers in this transmission make shifting easy and smooth, while offering multiple overdrive gears.

The 6T40 6-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission is standard on the 2012 Cruze LTZ and is available in LS, LT and Eco Cruze as well. This automatic transmission is smooth and capable by itself and also has Driver Shift Control that allows the driver to use tap up and tap down manual shifting at will (paddle shifters). Advanced adaptive shift controls in the transmission intelligently employ lower gears when slowing down or coasting on an incline. While all models of the Chevy Cruze achieve have excellent fuel economy, the Cruze Eco maximizes fuel economy to the highest degree. This has made the Cruze Eco the most fuel-efficient gasoline-powered car in theUnited States with 42 miles per gallon on the highway. This is due to incredible aerodynamic design that offers a very low drag coefficient of 0.29; race car inspired underbody panels and electronically controlled air shutters to further increase aerodynamic efficiency. These are just a few examples of the many innovative features that allow the Cruze Eco to get such outstanding gas mileage, while still offering great power and performance.

Gamblin Motors New Owners Clinic

It’s not too often that the place to be at Gamblin Motors is in the body shop. But for this ‘New Owners Clinic’ that was the case. The purpose of the clinic was to explain that at Art Gamblin motors when you buy a vehicle with them that not all she wrote. It should be your location for any vehicle needs. Whether you get in a collision and need auto repair or your car gets dirty and you need to get it washed it should be the center for all car services Seattle. Tom Rockwood who is in charge of financing at the Enumclaw Dealership explained the advantages of extending your service agreement. Or how they are very competitive with tire sales and can mark them down. Also the fact that even if you don’t have a Chevy you can feel free to bring your cars in for repair or maintenance. But there were also several light hearted festivities going on such as raffling off some Chevy attire like hats and sweatshirts. Even Alan Gamblin threw some trivia to the audience asking who was on the 20 dollar and when answered correctly was given that 20! But hold on nobody left with empty stomach it was a catered dinner by the always delicious Enumclaw Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant. So what can we take away from this? If you purchase a vehicle here then its your one stop destination for any Tacoma area vehicle problems and always know your presidents cause you never know when you could win some money off it.

 

GM adds a new center airbag to better vehicle safety

Have you ever heard the saying ‘the more the merrier’ or ‘safety first?’ Well those were probably two things that went through the head of GM when developing the idea of a center airbag. But this wasn’t just created just for the fun of it. It functions to prevent passengers of the vehicle from clashing into each other on impact with another vehicle. The new device is set to be introduced as standard equipment on models like the Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia with power seats beginning in the 2013 model year. The tethered, tube-shaped airbag deploys from the right side of the driver’s seat and positions itself in the center of the vehicle. Side impacts are the main causes of these incidents, but this is set to improve that. But hey, you can’t complain for being a little extra safe when driving behind the wheel. Even if safety’s first with these cars, style comes in a close second!

2013 Chevrolet Malibu Chosen as Debut Car of the New Ecotech Engine

 Top 10 in 2010. With a title like that, it’s no surprise that Chevrolet Malibu was selected as the car to represent the first Ecotech engine. You need a great car for a great new upcoming engine. This engine they call the Echotech is a 2.5 cylinder engine that puts out 190 HP and 180 LB-FT of torque. Not only does it have speed to get you going places quickly, but it also has a 30 MPG engine that won’t break your bank at the pump! Mike Anderson, a global engineer says ‘The noise intensity is 40% less than our  2.4L direct-injected engine, which was named one Ward’s 10 Best Engines.’ People that have drove the Malibu with or without the new engine says it gives it a more powerful acceleration which is useful for highway driving. I don’t think titles will stop at ‘top 10 in 2010.’ Sounds like in 2013 we could have the best engine ever seen.  So if you are looking for a new Chevrolet in Seattle or a Chevrolet in Tacoma come see us.

Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet

It has been well over 30+ years since the Chevrolet commercial that had everyone singing Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet.  A lot has changed since the 1970’s but baseball is still America’s past time and Chevrolet is still alive and kicking.  Over the years Chevrolet has been a proud sponsor of baseball from the highest level all the way down to the little leagues.  The tradition continues as Chevrolet has donated money to little leagues all over the country part of the Youth Baseball Sweepstakes.

Art Gamblin Motors had the opportunity to present the Chinook Little League in Enumclaw with a $500 check at their Jamboree April 17, 2010.  John VanWieringen and Tyson Gamblin were excited to be part of Chinook Little Leagues opening ceremonies to kick off the little leagues 2010 season.  Along with the $500 check Chevrolet is sponsoring a raffle where little leaguers will be selling tickets for a chance to win a brand new Chevy.  It is a nation-wide drawing and tickets are only $5.  All the proceeds go directly to the Chinook Little League.

The Chinook Little League has the opportunity to earn as much as $10,000 via raffle sales!  Not only are the raffle tickets good for a chance to win a new Chevrolet, but the raffle tickets are valid for $5 off an oil change at Art Gamblin Motors Quick Lube.

The Chinook Little League was very thankful for their $500 check from Chevrolet and excited to participate in the Chevrolet Youth Baseball Sweepstakes.  It was a nice day out and it was a great day for baseball.  So next time you see your little neighbor outside with his glove and ball ask him about the raffle.
