2017 Chevrolet Colorado Updates

DURAND, Mich., – The 2017 Chevy Colorado will be hitting lots soon, but not without some efficiency improving updates. The Colorado has been named the most awarded midsize pickup truck since it hit the market in 2015. We think the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado updates will explain why it will continue to be one of the fastest selling vehicles in the midsize pickup segment.

2017 Chevrolet Colorado Updates

The 2017 model of the Chevy Colorado will now be available with a V-6 eight-speed automatic engine. This class-exclusive upgrade allows for improved valve timing, Active Fuel Management, and an increase in horsepower to 308. If you choose to equip your Chevy Colorado with a diesel engine, you’ll enjoy an EPA-estimated 31 mpg highway, making it the most fuel-efficient pickup truck in America!

2017 Chevrolet Colorado Updates

The Chevy Colorado is on track to sell 160,000 trucks within its first 24 months on the market. As well as the 2017 Chevrolet Colorado updates, connectivity features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will also be available. Don’t just take our word for it, stop by Graff Chevrolet Durand to test drive a 2016 Chevy Colorado. You can also schedule a test drive online. We’re excited for the latest Colorado model to arrive at the dealership and we hope you are too!

Holding on to Summer

DURAND, Mich., – At Graff Chevrolet Durand, we’re feeling pretty down about summer being on its way out. We’ve decided to create one last list of ways we can hold on to summer just a little bit longer. Take advantage of the weather while it’s still warm outside and try these summery activities with your friends or family!

Go swimming

Holding on to Summer

Whether you’re a lake person, or a pool person, don’t let the summer pass you by without getting in one last dip! If your family is already in back-to-school mode, plan a day this weekend to go to the beach or a friend’s pool. Slather on the sunscreen and bask in the August sun.

Have a cook out

Holding on to Summer

It doesn’t have to be a big blowout, unless you want it to be! Use your grill before the weather turns too cold to stand outside. Eat summery foods like hotdogs and corn on the cob. You know you’ll be craving them when they’re less abundant in the cooler seasons!

Eat ice cream

Holding on to Summer

Obviously ice cream can be eaten anytime; true ice cream lovers will indulge no matter the weather. But what tastes better than a heaping ice cream cone on a hot day in August? Nothing. So use the end of summer as an excuse to grab a scoop of your favorite flavor!

Read that book you’ve been meaning to read all summer

Holding on to Summer

Everyone has that one book they meant to read and never got around to. It’s been sitting on your coffee table for months now, and you still haven’t picked it up. Take what little free time you may have left and immerse yourself in some literature!

Go to brunch, sit outside

Holding on to Summer

Seize what little opportunity we have left to enjoy a meal on the patio of your favorite restaurant. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, grab a friend and go stuff yourselves! Restaurants will be open all year round, but that perfect patio table won’t be.

We’re sorry to be a downer, but summer is definitely on it’s last leg. It’s officially back-to-school season and fall is on its way in. We want to hold on to summer as long as we can, and we think these little ideas will help us do just that! See if you can check all of these items off of your to-do list before the weather gets cold! The end of the summer is also a great time for car deals! If you hurry you can take advantage of our double your trade offer! It’s happening until August 31st, so go value your trade now and start shopping online at GraffChevyDurand.com!

Chevy Introduces Teen Driver Technology

DURAND, Mich., – In the year 2000, 360,080 babies were born during the month of August. That means this month those babies will turn 16, making them eligible to drive a car. With a record number of new drivers potentially hitting the road, Chevy introduces Teen Driver Technology.



In an effort to introduce and promote safe driving habits, and as a way to give parents the ability to monitor their teen’s driving, 10 new 2017 Chevy models are equipped with a number of Teen Driver Technology capabilities. These technologies include features such as:

Automatically Enabled Safety Features

These features turn on automatically and cannot be manually shut off when Teen Driver is activated. These features include:

In addition to the automatic safety features, while Teen Driver is activated, your Chevy vehicle records the number of times certain safety features were engaged and how fast the vehicle was traveling.

Chevy Introduces Teen Driver Technology


Chevy MyLink Technology to Discourage Using Phones While Driving

All new Chevy models are also available with Chevy MyLink technology, which includes Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. These hands free smart phone features encourage safe driving habits and discourage distracted driving.

Customizable Audible and Visual Alerts

Chevy Introduces Teen Driver Technology

As well as the available safety features, Teen Driver offers customizable features to parents. This allows parents to set limits such as maximum speed, audio volume, and distance tracker. If the teen driver travels over the pre-selected speed, an audible alarm will sound.

  • Fill up the gas tank before hand
  • Ensure the battery is charged
  • Check coolant levels
  • Check tire pressure
  • Ensure wiper blades are functioning

The Chevrolet Certified Service Rescue Squad will be there to assist drivers in the Woodward Dream Cruise, but they would also like to avoid any breakdowns if possible!

August is National Brake Safety Awareness Month

DURAND, Mich., – Did you know that August is National Brake Safety Awareness Month? Your brakes are imperative to your safety while operating your vehicle. At Graff Chevrolet Durand we want to make sure you’re always safe on the road, so we’ve put together this list of common signs your brakes need to be serviced. Keep in mind, there are plenty of other less obvious signs of brake failure, and lots of other things that could go wrong, so it’s important to have your brakes checked at least once a year at the Graff Chevrolet Durand Service Center. Schedule your appointment online! These indicators are signs you need to have your brakes checked:

1. Dashboard Brake Light Illuminates

This is the most obvious sign that your brakes are having an issue. If your brake light is on, first check that your emergency brake isn’t engaged. If that’s not the case then you should schedule a service appointment to have your brakes checked as soon as possible.

August is National Brake Safety Awareness Month

2. Grinding Noise

Listening to your car is the best way to tell if it’s having problem. If you hear a grinding, metal on metal noise when you engage your brakes, this is from the metal disc rubbing against a caliper, and it’s probably causing damage to your rotors. This repair is rather costly and can be avoided by having your brakes inspected regularly.

3. High Pitched Screech Noise

Another sound that can indicate your brakes are in need of service, is a loud, high pitched squeaking noise when you press on your brakes. This noise comes from the wear indicator on your brake pads that is there to warn you that your brake pads are getting worn. If you leave this problem unchecked it could turn into the grinding noise mentioned in number two. Replacing your brake pads is much cheaper than having your rotors repaired.

August is National Brake Safety Awareness Month

4. Pulling

If you notice your steering wheel pulls to the left or the right when you step on the brakes, you’ll want to have your brakes serviced right away. This is a sign of multiple brake issues, you’ll need a technician at Graff Durand to diagnose the problem.

5. Brake Pedal Vibrations

If you feel your brake pedal vibrate when you press on the brakes, this is a sign of warped rotors. Be sure to schedule a service appointment at Graff Chevrolet Durand Service Center if you notice this problem.

August is National Brake Safety Awareness Month

Remember, this list includes only a few of the most common signs of brake problems. August is National Brake Safety Awareness Month and we want to be sure all of our customers are staying safe in their vehicles. Be sure to have your brakes checked at least once a year to avoid any costly or dangerous brake issues. If you have noticed any of the signs mentioned above, be sure to make an appointment at the Graff Chevrolet Durand Service Center!

National Family Fun Month

DURAND, Mich., – Did you know it’s officially Family Fun Month? August has been declared National Family Fun Month and we’ve created a list of some fun things to do to spend time with your family! Whether you want to stay at home or get out of the house, hopefully you can find something to please everyone!

1. Make a Craft Together

National Family Fun Month

Head over to Pinterest and pick a craft or project that everyone can do together. This list has lots of great ideas. We really like the DIY Mason jar aquariums! They should be entertaining for a large range of ages. If you have a large age gap, try something more simple and have the older kids be helpers to the younger ones.

2. Family Game Night

This classic family get together can be made more modern by including newer interactive games like Catch Phrase! Or you can let everyone pick their favorite board game and take turns playing everyone’s choices! Don't get caught up playing long games like Monopoly! Get creative! Throw in a card game!


3. Cook Something Together

National Family Fun Month

Cooking a meal together is great way to spend time with family! Assign everyone a different job to help the preparation go smoothly, or pick a recipe that you are able to personalize, like pizza, so everyone gets exactly what they want. If you want to take it a step further, make grocery shopping a family affair and let everyone pick their favorite topping.


4. Go to the Movie Theatre

If you need to get everyone out of the house for a little while, the movie theatre is always a great place to go! It will also keep you cool in the A/C, or provide something to do on a rainy day! Keep in mind that snacks can get pricey, so you may want to try number 5 instead.

5. Family Movie Night

National Family Fun Month

Bring the movie theatre right to your living room with family movie night. The toughest part will probably be getting everyone to agree on a movie, but hopefully the popcorn and pajamas will please everyone.

Since it’s National Family Fun Month, we want to encourage everyone to spend a little extra time with the people you care about. Use our ideas to get inspired and feel free to add any items to the list! At Graff Durand, we want to keep you and your family safe. Use our routine maintenance pages to keep your car running smoothly. You can also take a look at our fluids and filters pages for information about when to service your car’s fluids and filters.
