Chevrolet Lowers 4G LTE Pricing for Data Plans

DURAND, Mich., – If you’re planning to spend even a little bit of time in your Chevy vehicle this summer, you may want to consider setting up a new data plan as Chevrolet lowers 4G LTE pricing for data plans. As an increasing number of drivers use the 4G LTE connectivity capabilities their Chevy vehicle’s offer, Chevrolet is able to offer new pricing plans, lowered by up to 50 percent compared to old plans.

As you hit the road for all of your adventures and road trips this summer, stay connected in your vehicle. If you’re wondering how to keep the kids occupied in the back seat on that long drive up north, worry no more. The 4G LTE connectivity in your Chevy vehicle will allow you to stream shows and movies to your devices while driving. It also allows for onboard navigation so you’ll never get lost while exploring!

The connectivity capabilities, which are made available through AT&T and OnStar, are also beneficial to those who need access to a mobile office. Entrepreneurs and businesses owners, who travel in their day-to-day lives, make up a large amount of the people using their Chevy hot spots.

Chevrolet was the first auto retailer to offer 4G LTE connectivity to its customers across all vehicles, and is now proud to offer it at a more affordable price. Since it was introduced in June of 2014, there has been a substantial increase of data use.

“As more people embrace the technology, it brings down the cost of entry for all users. With these lower prices, we expect even more customers to use 4G LTE connectivity during this busy summer driving season,” said Laura Keck, OnStar Subscriber Marketing Strategy manager.

As Chevrolet lowers 4G LTE pricing for data plans, be sure to consider making use of your in-vehicle hotspot for your summer vacations and road trips. Always stay connected, wherever you go! If you are planning to travel this summer, be sure your vehicle is up to date on all of its maintenance. You can use our Summer Car Care pages at Graff Durand to help you stay up to date.

Chevrolet Silverado’s Steel Bed Outperforms Ford F-150

DURAND, Mich., – Are you team Chevy or team Ford? We hope if you’re reading this you’re team Chevy, because in the latest side-by-side comparisons of the Silverado and the F-150, the Chevrolet Silverado’s steel bed outperforms Ford F-150 and its aluminum bed.

Chevrolet conducted three field demonstrations shown in their newly released video footage. A scientific test was performed using a wedge shaped striker demonstrating the trucks ability to hold up in the case of high impact damage, and a real-world example test was conducted of a heavy tool box being pushed into the truck beds. But the most dramatic test performed was the dropping of 55 landscaping blocks weighing 825 pounds from 5 feet above the truck beds. In all three tests, Chevrolet’s steel bed outperformed the aluminum bed in the F-150.

In the conversation surrounding the #SilveradoStrong campaign on social media, many Ford fans have pointed out that in real world situations a bed-liner would be in place. We don’t think that changes things though, considering that the tests clearly identify which material is stronger.

Although aluminum is a much lighter substance than steel, it’s important to note that if the steel on the Silverado bed were to be damaged, it’s generally much easier to repair than it’s aluminum competitor.

So what do you think? We think the videos clearly show that the Chevrolet Silverado’s steel bed outperforms Ford F-150 and its aluminum bed. Do you think the tests were harsher than any real world situation that would be presented to a pickup truck and its owner? We think the extremity of the demonstrations shows Chevy’s durability and strength, and we think you should be able to use your truck as a truck.

Are you dying to get behind the wheel of the 2016 Chevy Silverado? Head down to Graff Chevrolet in Durand and test-drive one for yourself! We would be happy to find the model that fits your needs, and let you experience the comfortable interior of our highly durable pickup truck.

If you’re heading out on any summer adventures, be sure to check out our Summer Car Care pages at Graff Durand for tips on how to keep your vehicle running smoothly in the hot weather. Don’t neglect your cooling and A/C systems, your fuel system, or your exterior lights, and don’t forget to repair cosmetic damages and keep your car from getting sun damage!

Not only are you within close range of running water, running inside is easy in the case of inclement weather! You can still do all the fun camping things like roasting marshmallows over the fire pit and sleeping on air mattresses in sleeping bags, all while being a few steps from indoor bathrooms!

3. Cook a meal from farmers market ingredients

The Durand Farmers Market will be held every Wednesday through October. A great meal to prepare from farmers market ingredients would be a fresh omelet!

7. Read a new book

Make yourself a list of books you’ve been dying to read. Maybe they’re the classics you never got to or by an author a friend recommended. Whatever the case, summer is a great time to catch up on the reading you’ve been falling behind on.

8. Watch fireworks

Summer is pretty much the only time to catch a fireworks show. Fourth of July will be here before you know it, so make sure you plan to head to a fireworks display. If you’re bringing the kids along, sparklers are always a fun activity! Just be sure to review safety with them and make sure sparklers are allowed if you’re in a public park.

9. Start a garden

Have you always wanted to start a garden in your backyard? Summer is the perfect time! If you don’t have space in your yard for a garden, you could try these fun DIY window box gardens! Plant fruits, veggies, herbs, or flowers! Watching something grow is always rewarding!

10. Plan a picnic

Whether it’s you and a friend, you and your kids, or you and your significant other, who doesn’t love a good a picnic?

Summer Car Care at Graff Durand

DURAND, Mich., – Summer is finally here and we know that means travel plans for many families. With that in mind, we’ve created our new Summer Car Care at Graff Durand pages. It’s easy to get lost in the excitement of vacation time, but it’s important to stay up-to-date on your vehicle maintenance. We’ve outlined some of the basic maintenance you should keep up on your car during the summer, including cooling and A/C systems, cosmetic damages, exterior lights, fuel system, and sun protection. If you have any adventures planned during the warm weather months, it’s especially important that you keep your vehicle in good traveling condition. We want to make sure you and your family arrive at your destination safely and comfortably. Check out the pages below:

Cooling and A/C Systems: On this page we run through the importance of your cooling and A/C systems. Both of these systems are crucial during hot weather. We outline some warning signs that could tip you off to dysfunctional cooling or A/C systems, that may ultimately help you recognize a problem with your car. The cooling system keeps your engine from overheating and the A/C system keeps you and your passengers cool. Don’t get stuck on the side of the road due to an unchecked cooling or A/C system.

Cosmetic Damage: Here we discuss why it’s easiest to fix cosmetic damages on your vehicle during the summer. We go over some common cosmetic fixes and why it’s important to the life of your car to get them fixed. Many cosmetic damages can cause rust, which greatly decreases the value of your vehicle. Save yourself time and money in the long run by fixing cosmetic damages as soon as possible.

Exterior Lights: On this page we talk about the different exterior lights found on your vehicle and why it’s important to keep them in working condition. Light maintenance often gets overlooked when it comes to routine vehicle care, but exterior lights are very important to your safety while driving. We go over different types of headlights and how you can change them yourself at home, as well as an easy way to make sure your exterior lights are working properly.

Fuel System: Here we go over what your fuel system does for your vehicle and the components that make it up. We talk about some warning signs that mean your fuel system may be working inefficiently and why it’s important to maintain your fuel system in your vehicle. Gasoline is the main source of power in your vehicle. If the fuel system isn’t working properly you could be causing expensive damage to your vehicle. If you notice the warning signs, don’t wait to service your fuel system.

Sun Protection: On the Sun Protection page, we discuss some tips and tricks for protecting your vehicle from the harmful UV rays of the sun. We go over the types of damage that can be caused by sun and what you can do to prevent them. You wouldn’t go out in the sun all day without sunscreen on your skin, so why would you want to leave your vehicle unprotected from the sun during the summer?

After you’ve taken a look at all of our pages on Summer Car Care at Graff Durand, we hope you understand the importance of maintaining your vehicle during the hot summer months. We’d be more than happy to help you with your cooling and A/C system, cosmetic damages, exterior lights, fuel system, or sun protection to get your car in great working condition for all of the summer plans you have this season. Be sure to give us a call at (989) 288-2657 or make a service appointment online.

Things to do on Father's Day for the Dad Who Has it All

DURAND, Mich., – Father's Day is just around the corner! Does your dad stay up to date on the latest technologies? Maybe he buys everything he needs or wants for himself? Perhaps your dad just isn’t the gift-receiving guy. No matter the case, Father’s Day is a time to celebrate the dads in your life. Typically this means buying a gift that will sit on the shelf or in the closet and never see the light of day. But presents aren’t the only way to show your dad you care this Father’s Day. We’ve compiled a list of things to do on Father’s Day for the dad who has it all. Here are 5 ways to celebrate Father’s Day without buying gifts.

Cook for him. Everyone likes to eat, right? But cooking can be a lot of work. This Father’s Day try cooking your dad’s favorite meal. Breakfast in bed is always a nice gesture, but a finely cooked steak will do just the same. We can almost guarantee that it won’t matter what you make, the fact that he doesn’t have to set foot in the kitchen will be the best gift in the world. Plus, eating your creation is a nice way to spend time together.

Do something together. Is your dad a golfer? Maybe he likes to go hiking or camping. Whatever it is, show your dad you care by doing something he likes to do. Spending time together is a great gift.

Watch his favorite show or sports with him on TV. Let’s be honest. What dad doesn’t love to watch TV? For Father’s Day, stop squabbling over the remote and let him choose what to watch. You might be surprised at what you find. Whether it’s sports or The Andy Griffith Show, you might enjoy that time together on the couch.

Do a project together. Is your dad a Mr. Fix-it? Has the door been squeaking or the roof leaking? Help him fix what needs fixing around the house. Get some yard work done or work on the car. Offer up your time and make yourself available for the afternoon.

Go to baseball game or other sporting event. Most dads love sports. Even if you’re not the biggest fan out there, live athletics are always way better than watching them on TV. Check out what teams are playing locally and grab some tickets for you and your dad.

Whatever you decide to do this Father’s Day, make sure to celebrate your dad! We hope these things to do on Father’s Day for the dad who has it all will inspire you spend some time with your dad this Father’s Day. Maybe what he really wants is to come down and test-drive a new Corvette! Has dad been talking about a new car? Make sure he takes a look at our How to Buy a vehicle page. It breaks down the car buying process to make things a little easier to understand. Maybe leasing a car is a better option. Our How to Lease page will teach you all you need to know about leasing a car. If you’re still not sure whether to buy or lease, look at our Buying vs. Leasing page to see the pros and cons of each option.

Located at 9009 East Lansing Road in Durand, MI 48429, Hank Graff Chevrolet Durand wants to revolutionize your car buying experience.

2017 Chevrolet Silverado HD Features a New Intake System

DURAND, Mich., – Introducing the newest way to divert dry cool air into the engine of your truck, the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado HD features a new intake system. The new system brings sustained performance and lower engine temperatures, even during tough driving conditions. Cooler engine temperatures help the truck run better overall, especially in the harshest testing environment. “While developing this all-new induction system, we considered our customers towing a maximum-weight trailer through the Eisenhower Tunnel on a hot, rainy summer day,” said Eric Stanczak, chief engineer, Silverado HD.

Weather: The functional hood scoop uses an air/water separator to ensure only clean, dry air enters the engine. Rain doesn’t pose a huge threat to the intake system, the more worrisome issue for developers was the mist on wet roads and smaller water droplets. The new system managed water droplets of all kinds with ease during testing.

Elevation: The Eisenhower Tunnel, mentioned above is the highest vehicle tunnel at 11,000 feet above sea level. Higher elevations change the air quality. The Chevy Silverado performed well in all testing environments.

Towing: When driving on the highway at higher speeds, the ram-air effect helps push air into the engine. Tested at the highest towing capacity, the new intake system is designed to keep the engine cool even when it is under high duress.

The 2017 Chevrolet Silverado HD features a new intake system that was extensively tested for the highest performance capabilities. We’re looking forward to this truck!
