The Chevrolet Camaro Through The Years

The Chevrolet Camaro Through The Years

OKEMOS, Mich. – This year Chevrolet is celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of its most classic performance vehicles, the Camaro. Proven to become an American icon, the Camaro has stood the test of time as a fan favorite. The Camaro has survived six different generations and does not look like it is slowing down. The newest 2016 Camaro model is the most advanced yet and you can get a close up look at Graff Chevrolet Okemos. But before you get in the driver’s seat, let’s take a look at the Chevrolet Camaro through the years

The Chevrolet Camaro Through The Years

First Generation:
The first generation of the Camaro was during 1967-1969. It was a time when muscle cars, drag racing cars, and road racing cars were becoming popular. The 1967 and 1969 Camaro models also each served at the Indy 500 pace car, creating a long lasting relationship with Chevrolet and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Second Generation:
The longest running model in Camaro history was the second generation, running from 1970-1981. The European-influenced styling gave the Camaro it’s best year ever in 1979 with 282,571 sold.

The Chevrolet Camaro Through The Years

Third Generation:

The third generation Camaro ran from 1982 -1992. It premiered an all-new architecture with a more aggressive styling. This was also the generation that introduced the first Camaro hatchback.

Fourth Generation:
The fourth generation improved the Camaro’s performance with higher-power engines. The new style incorporated a fast-raked windshield, which gave the car a sleeker profile. The fourth generation ran from 1993 – 2002, and the car saw a redesign in 1998.

Fifth Generation:
The Camaro saw a hiatus from 2002 to 2009, until the newest 2010 model was introduced. The fifth generation ran from 2010 to 2015 and focused more on the heritage of the performance vehicle. The fifth generation Camaro went on to sell more than 500,000 models and outpaced its rivals for 5 years in a row.

Sixth Generation:
We now welcome the newest generation with the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. This Camaro features a stronger architecture, top of the line technologies, and the highest-ever levels of performance. The 2016 Camaro has earned the 2016 Motor Trend Car of the Year award and will lead the way for up coming 2017 models.

Top 3 Car Seat Safety Tips

Top 3 Car Seat Safety Tips

OKEMOS, Mich. – The safety of drivers and even their smallest passengers is extremely important to us at Graff Chevrolet Okemos. That is why we have put together our top 3 car seat safety tips. If you are expecting a new baby, or had questions about your current car seat, our 3 tips will help you better understand the components that go into car seat safety. Protecting your child’s life while in the car is top priority. Take a look below at how our 3 tips can help make car seat safety easier than ever.

1) Do Your Research
You wouldn’t make a large purchase of a house or even a car without doing research, so why purchase a car seat without it? There are so many brands and type of car seats out there, that you will want a better understand of which car seat will fit your needs. Here are a few things to keep in mind when research a new car seat:
  • Has there been a recall on the car seat?
  • Is this type of car seat expired?
  • Can the car seat adapt to your child as they get old?

Purchasing the car seat is not the end of your research. Vehicle safety and car seat safety is continuously being tested and advancing. You should always try to stay up-to-date with the current laws and regulations.    

Top 3 Car Seat Safety Tips     

2) Know The Right Car Seat to Purchase
Knowing which type of car seat is right for your child is one of the biggest decisions you will have to make. The type of car seat you purchase will be based on the age and size of your child. You can research the different regulations that specify which seat your child will be the safest in. Here are the 3 different types of seats to choose from:
    Top 3 Car Seat Safety Tips
  • Rear facing – The rear facing seat is the safest option for your infant. It works to move with your child in the incident of a crash and reduces the stress to a child’s neck and spine.
  • Forward facing – The forward facing seats are built for children who have outgrown the rear facing seat based on their age and weight. This seat comes with a front harness and tether strap to keep your child secure in the incident of an accident.
  • Booster seat – Booster seats are for children who have outgrown the forward facing seat. They are designed to help children properly fit vehicle seat belts when they are too small to comfortably sit with one on their own.

3) Know Proper Car Seat Installation
Make sure you are properly installing your car seat before you place your child in it. If a car seat is not installed correctly in your car, your child could face serious injuries in the case of an accident. Make sure to thoroughly read the car seat Instruction Manual and your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for proper installation guidelines.

By following our top 3 car seat safety tips you can feel better knowing that your child is safer every time you buckle them up in the car. Keeping up to date on car seat regulations and making sure to adjust the seat as your child grows, not only saves their life, but also give them a more comfortable ride in the car. At Graff Chevrolet Okemos we want even the smallest passengers to be safe in the vehicle. If you are looking for a vehicle with even more safety technologies then stop by our dealership and test drive a new 2016 Chevrolet Cruze.

3 Tips for Teen Drivers

 3 Tips for Teen Drivers

OKEMOS, Mich. – Congratulations! If you are a teen who just received their driver’s license or learner’s permit, you now have the ability to drive a vehicle and taking a stepping-stone into adulthood. Even though you are allowed to drive a vehicle that doesn’t mean you know everything. Being on the road unpredictable events could happen at any moment. At Graff Chevrolet Okemos we work to help smart drivers and keep young drivers safe. That is why we put together these 3 tips for teen drivers. These tips are for new teen drivers to keep in mind as they continue their driving education in and out of the classroom. If you are a teen and starting to drive take a look below at our 3 tips:

Listen To Your Parents

We know listening to your parents while you’re driving may not sound fun, but your parents are coaching you because they want you to be a safe and alert driver for the rest of your life. It may sound like they are saying the same things over and over again, but let’s face it, they have more experience than you. Your parents have been driving longer than you have. Try to understand where they are coming from and let them guide you into being a more thoughtful driver.

Practice, Practice, Practice

You may have passed your driver’s test but you are still new at driving alone. The best way to get comfortable behind the wheel of a vehicle is to practice everyday. Start with short trips to the grocery store or other places around town that you have been to before. Also practice small trips on the highway. Remember that just because you have your driver’s license doesn’t mean you don’t have to drive around with mom and dad in the passenger seat.

Be Aware of Driving Distractions and Safety Hazards

We know it is fun to have your friends with you, and how tempting it is to drive across the country with them once you have your license. However, having a car full of your friends is a serious distraction. Other distractions include eating while driving and using a mobile device. Before you get behind the wheel of a vehicle remember to think about how many people are in the car with you and if that is the smartest decision. Also think about if your mobile device is in a place that would become a temptation.

Another way to help keep you safe while driving is trying to limit the amount you drive at night. Nighttime driving can impair your vision and driving while tired can lead to accidents. Lastly buckle up! 

 3 Tips for Teen Drivers

Our 3 tips for teen drivers are here to help every teen or new driver for when they get behind the wheel. Parents if you are getting prepared for your teen to start driving on their own, make sure the vehicle they are driving is going to keep them safe as well. At Graff Chevrolet Okemos we can get you behind the wheel of a 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. The new Malibu not only have the top safety features like OnStar capabilities and various collision alerts, but they also have an available feature called Teen Driver. The Teen Driver feature activates special settings every time your teen hops in the driver’s seat, for instance turning the radio off until their seat belt is buckled. Contact our sales team at Graff Chevrolet Okemos for more 2016 Chevy Malibu information and to schedule a test-drive today!

Looking for ways to get your current vehicle ready for a teen driver? Check out our new Summer Car Care page on our website. There you will learn the different ways to prepare your fuel system, external lights, and cooling and A/C system for the summer season. You will also learn sun protection tips and suggestions for cosmetic repairs.

Chevrolet Put The 2016 Silverado’s Steel Bed To The Test

 Chevrolet Put The 2016 Silverado’s Steel Bed To The Test

OKEMOS, Mich. -- Chevrolet has always taken pride in their toughest pick up truck, the Silverado. Recently, Chevrolet put the 2016 Silverado’s steel bed to the test. Chevrolet wanted to show consumers the strengths and benefits of a steel bed, opposed to an aluminum bed made by other competitor truck models. To test both pick up truck beds, Chevrolet dropped 825 pounds of landscaping blocks from the same distance on to the trucks. The results were clear. The 2016 Chevrolet Silverado’s steel truck bed held up much better than the competitor’s aluminum bed. Take a look below at the benefits of having a steel truck bed:

Steel bed formation. Chevy’s Silverado truck bed is made from a high strength steel alloy material. The steel bed is geometrically formed with a strategically roll-forming process that enhances the steel material strength of the bed.

Steel could withstand more joules of impact. During the testing the steel bed could withstand up to 90 joules of impact energy. The aluminum bed could only withstand 30 joules of impact energy. This proved that the steel bed could hold up more impact with any kind of job or obstacle it would be faced with during everyday use.

Minor impact after landscaping block test. When Chevrolet tested the truck beds during the landscaping block test, the Silverado’s steel bed resulted in having scratches and dents. The aluminum bed showed scratches, dents, and even small punctures after viewing the results.

Lesser impact after toolbox test. Chevrolet performed an additional toolbox test. They dropped a metal toolbox from the same position on the side of the truck beds. The aluminum truck bed saw sizable punctures and gouges. The steel bed showed only small or minor puncturing, nothing that would result in a major repair service.

 Chevrolet Put The 2016 Silverado’s Steel Bed To The Test




By proving to consumers the benefit of their strong truck beds, Chevrolet put the 2016 Silverado’s steel bed to the test. After facing landscaping blocks and metal tool boxes, Chevrolet proved the Silverado is perfect for the everyday driver, and the heavy duty worker. If you want to get your hands on a new 2016 Chevrolet Silverado stop by Graff Chevrolet Okemos today. You will love the towing capabilities, the new technologies, and the premium interior of the newest Silverado model. Contact the sales team today and schedule your test drive!

At Graff Chevrolet Okemos we want you to not only have the toughest truck around, but we want your current vehicle to stay in top shape as well.

Chevrolet Introduces a New Intake System to Boost Performance in the 2017 Silverado HD

Chevrolet Introduces a New Intake System to Boost Performance in the 2017 Silverado HD


OKEMOS, Mich. – As Chevrolet prepares for the new versions of their Silverado trucks they incorporate a way to take the performance of the pick up to a new level. In doing so, Chevrolet introduces a new intake system to boost performance in the 2017 Silverado HD. Based on extensive testing and real world driving conditions, the new intake system provides dry air for the engine so it can sustain performance when driving in difficult conditions.

The new air intake system is designed to provide dry cool air into the engine. Below you can take a look at why the cooler air is beneficial to the Silverado and what new designs are required to provide a better performance. 

Benefits of new air intake system:
The new air intake system not only provides cool air, but the air transfers through the system dry and clean as well. To maximize the performance on the Silverado HD engine, the water and moisture is separated from the air to make sure that only combustion-enhancing dry air is delivered. Having cooler air for the diesel engine helps the Silverado maintain full power and speed while trailering heavy loads. 

New Design:
To provide dry, clean, cooler air, the 2017 Silverado HD has a dramatic hood scoop that pulls air from the outside into the intake system. Inside the air filter draws 40 percent more air from a dry location in one of the front fenders. The hood inlet combines the cool and dry air before funneling into the Duramax’s combustion chambers.

Chevrolet Introduces a New Intake System to Boost Performance in the 2017 Silverado HD

As Chevrolet Introduces a new intake system to boost performance in the 2017 Silverado HD, you can get your hands on a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD at Graff Chevrolet Okemos. You will love the towing capabilities, premium comfortable cabin, and the strength that is known for the Chevy name. Stop by our dealership and test drive the heavy-duty pick up truck today!
