Test Drive Fundaiser for Morningside Little League

Knoepfler Chevrolet hosted a Test Drive event at Strikers Field on May 23 to raise money for Morningside Little League. Guests were asked to test drive a new 2017 Chevy Silverado or 2018 Chevy Equinox. In return, Knoepfler Chevrolet donated $25 per test drive (up to $500) to Morningside Little League. 

This Test Drive fundraiser continues until June 30, 2017. In order to participate, stop down to Knoepfler Chevrolet and ask to test drive a new Chevrolet to support Morningside Little League. 

Protect Your Vehicle's Paint

The Knoepfler Chevrolet Collision Center can apply a Clear Film Paint Protection to prevent your vehicle from chips, scratches, scuffs, road debris and more! This invisible film can be easily applied by one of the trained employees at Knoepfler Chevrolet. You can choose different packages for different levels of protection. 

With this product, you can wash and wax your vehicle like normal without worrying about it coming off. One question often asked, is whether or not the car color will fade in the sun. The answer is Yes. The film is UV stable, but will allow UV rays to penetrate. This feature eliminates the "two shades" of paint problem resulting from traditional car "bras". The clear film can be removed without residue using a patented acrylic adhesive. View the Knoepfler Chevrolet website for pricing on this product. 

Purchasing a new Chevrolet is a big investment, so it makes sense to protect that investment by adding on clear film paint protection. To schedule an appointment, contact the Knoepfler Chevrolet Collision Center at 712-279-7180.

How do you know if you need new brakes?

When you're scheduling service for your vehicle, your initial priority should always be to guarantee that your car's safety features are in good shape. There are specific elements that go into making your car trustworthy, and a critical piece are the brakes. If your vehicle requires brake repairs, putting off an appointment might ultimately result in a very unsafe circumstance. 

If your brakes are acting strangely, have them checked out right away by a professional technician at Knoepfler Chevrolet for brake maintenance. Easily schedule an appointment online or by phone at 712-279-7160. 

Here are some telling signals that you are in need of brake repair:

• Brakes that feel mushy or "squishy" whenever you press down on the brake pedal.
• The car drags to one side while you're applying the brakes.
• The steering wheel shakes when you are braking.
• Brakes that seem to pulse as you brake.
• The whole vehicle rattles when the brakes are applied.
• A screeching sound occurs while braking.

If you happen to be experiencing any one of these issues, you should get your car or truck into Knoepfler Chevrolet to get a brake assessment immediately. We provide expert brake maintenance, and we look forward to helping get your car restored to its top condition.

How often do I need to get new brakes?

For some facets of your car's servicing, there's a fixed routine and timeline of when you can plan to need servicing; oil changes, tire rotations and multi-point inspections each have a specific mileage when they're essential. In terms of your brakes, however, there isn't any set service schedule, which means you will have to depend on your personal knowledge of your vehicle or the expertise of a Knoepfler Chevrolet brake repair professional to find out if maintenance is required. 

How regularly you'll need brake repairs may be impacted by the amount you drive and where you drive. For example, if you drive merely 5,000 miles annually, but it's mainly in heavily populated regions with stop-and-go-traffic, your brakes will likely need replacing sooner than someone who drives 25,000 miles annually on the spacious IA freeways. Contact the staff at Knoepfler Chevrolet with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
