Are you headed on a summer road trip this year? Our fully staffed Parts and Service team are ready to help get your ride road-ready! Ask about the following service checks to ensure a fun and safe road trip: Oil Change Before you head out for your summer trip destination, be sure to get your oil changed. Oil changes are recommended for every 3,000 - 7,500 miles. Since you may be traveling long distances for a getaway, you’ll definitely want to have this checked and taken care of before leaving! Tire Pressure You’ll of course want your tires to be in perfect condition before you hit the road, so get your tire pressure checked during your next service appointment. This is a quick check that will give peace of mind and an easy ride! Cooling System During these hot summer months, the cooling system in your vehicle will be so important to your vehicle's overall health. The cooling system itself includes the radiator, fans, thermostat valve and a coolant pump. A quick service check for this system could be essential to keep your summertime trip cool! Air Conditioning Another important system to check is your air conditioning. A road trip could feel ten times longer without your AC this time of year! While most don’t normally think about checking on this feature, you may want to consider it this time. We hope these quick tips will help make this year’s summer getaways go off without a hitch!

Warmer weather and more sunshine can only mean one thing! Spring is on its way! Now is the time to get your vehicle ready for the upcoming season. Here are some service checks we recommend making sure your vehicle is in top condition. Cabin Air Filter This filter for your vehicle is very important and often ignored, but certainly shouldn’t be as we transition from Winter to Spring. This filter is inside the dash of the vehicle and filters the air that comes from outside to the inside of the vehicle. The cabin air filter should be checked during every oil change, as a standard and should be replaced every 10,000 – 15,000 miles. So, as the seasons change, be sure to have your cabin air filter checked to keep the air you breathe inside your vehicle safe. Air Filter Another important check for you to consider as we approach Spring is for your air filter. The air filter allows your car to breathe. The filter prevents any insects, dust, particles, and other debris from getting to the car’s engine. Also, this also ensures that there is a good mix of air and fuel to keep up vehicle performance. Therefore, this is important to keep clean so that your vehicle can continue running in top condition. A/C System Since we have been so used to the cold weather, our A/C has likely not been used in months. Be sure to have your A/C system checked when the warm weather arrives! You’re A/C may need a recharge to help keep you cool this Spring. Fuel System Last but not least, is a fuel system service. This is done to clean out the injectors and give you better fuel mileage. This type of service check usually includes the fuel pump, fuel filter or fuel injectors, although it could vary.

The 2021 Chevy Malibu is the most impressive Malibu iteration to date. Keep reading to discover six of the most impressive features of this brand-new Chevy Malibu. 1. Smartphone Integration Smartphone integration is fairly common in modern SUVs. However, few sedans come standard with this critical feature. That said, you can expect smartphone integration in any 2021 Malibu you take a look at. Additionally, regardless of the trim level you choose, you can sync your iPhone or Android to the vehicle. Similar sedans require you to upgrade to a pricier trim to enjoy this essential integration. more 2. Roominess While the 2020 Chevy Malibu is a great vehicle, the 2021 Malibu is noticeably roomier. While it looks like a compact sedan from the outside, there is plenty of room for tall passengers to stretch out inside. While most sedans feel cramped in the back, particularly with a tall driver or passenger in the front, there is plenty of space for everyone in this surprisingly roomy sedan. 3. User-Friendliness The infotainment system in the 2021 Malibu is incredibly user-friendly. The layout of the infotainment system accessed via an 8-inch screen is easy to navigate, regardless of how tech-savvy the user is. There is essentially no learning curve: even your grandfather could easily connect his phone to the system and start enjoying music and taking phone calls without taking his hands off of the wheel! 4. Luxuriously Comfortable Seating Another wonderful upgrade from the 2020 Chevy Malibu is the comfort of the seating. This is the perfect vehicle to take on long road trips thanks to the innovative seats. The padded seats are firm enough to keep your mind focused on the road and soft enough to keep you comfortable, regardless of how long you have to drive. Additionally, the lateral support is truly impressive and ideal for people with lower back or tailbone pain. 5. Superior Suspension The suspension implemented in the 2021 Malibu is also noticeably better than any previous iteration. You can drive over potholes and speed bumps without hurting your spine. In fact, unless you're going very fast, you won't even notice smoothly driving over speed bumps. The smooth ride provided by the superior suspension makes it the perfect vehicle to take your kids on long road trips so they can sleep soundly until it is time to stop for lunch. 6. Quiet Cabin Yet another reason the 2021 Malibu is the perfect road trip vehicle for your whole family is how quiet the cabin is. Nobody likes road and wind noise. You don't have to crank up your music to drown out those sounds with this incredibly insulated cabin. There are many things to love about the 2021 Malibu. For example, it features standard smartphone integration, plenty of space, and comfortable seating. Does this sound like the vehicle for you? If so, contact us today at Jim Shorkey Murrysville Chevrolet to schedule a test drive or just come on by and browse our inventory of safe, reliable Chevrolets.

The Chevy Trailblazer has been around for two decades, but is the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer still living up to the line's stellar reputation? We certainly think so. This year's Trailblazer is the first subcompact in the lineup, yet it retains versions of all the impressive features from all the past iterations of the model. We're sure that you'll be as impressed as we are. 1. Spacious Cargo Area The Chevy Trailblazer is one of the few subcompacts on the market that has a surprisingly large amount of cargo space. It beats the closest competition by a few cubic feet. It has a total of 54.4 cubic feet of cargo space, and that's with the vehicle's second row and the front passenger seat folded flat. The longest part of this area is 8.5 feet long, so it's perfect if you have a long box, a pole, or construction materials to transport. more 2. A Delightfully Roomy Cabin Competitor subcompacts suffer as far as roominess is concerned. Often, the back row is only suitable for kids. However, the Chevrolet Trailblazer can easily accommodate five adults. Each adult will have plenty of headroom and legroom. It's easy to find comfort in the space. Passengers will also appreciate the fine craftsmanship that went into the roomy seating area. The seats have the perfect amount of cushioning and support, and higher trims have even better seating than the already spectacular base model. 3. You Can Tow Subcompact SUVs aren't known for being able to tow, so the fact that you can tow at all is mind-blowing. Equip your Trailblazer with its 1.3-liter engine option, and then you can tow 1,000 pounds with ease. Most competitors can tow less than this, and some subcompacts don't let you tow at all. The Trailblazer definitely stands out from the competition in that regard, and it's something that we have to applaud. 4. Off-Roading Abilities If you'd like to hit the trails in the Trailblazer, then you can definitely do that. The vehicle has all-wheel drive, and that makes it much easier to tackle beaten paths. All trim levels have the ability to go off-roading, although you may wish to consider selecting the Activ trim. The Activ trim comes with a suspension system that's tuned for off-roading, so it's the most suitable option for avid off-roaders. 5. Comfortable Handling The Trailblazer is more pleasant to handle than its competitors. It feels more like a coupe to handle. It's agile, highly maneuverable, and fits well into tight spaces. It's perfect for getting around crowded city streets and winding country lanes. Regardless of where you drive the Trailblazer, we're certain that you'll find that the handling is highly beneficial. The handling remains comfortable even when the cargo space is packed, and it's still almost as comfortable and easy when you're towing a 1,000-pound load. That's a better performance than several competitors can provide. Come to Jim Shorkey Murrysville Chevrolet to test drive the Chevy Trailblazer. Experience everything that this subcompact has to offer. If you feel like this is your perfect fit, then you should definitely consider getting a Trailblazer for yourself.

One unique offering they have here is their Pierogi Pizza, which comes topped with potato, onion, and garlic for a mash-up of two excellent dishes. Nothing makes a better partner for your pizza than a side of their chicken wings, available in hot, honey, or plain flavors and served with bleu cheese ranch. Rob's Pizza Local residents know that Rob's is the go-to spot for pizza lovers in our area who are craving a really delicious slice. Start your meal off the right way with an order of their fluffy and delicious breadsticks, served with some sauce to dip them in. As far as their specialty pizzas go, the pick of the bunch in our book has to be their New Englander pizza, with crab meat, tomatoes, spinach, and garlic creating a unique blend of flavors. Ginny's Neighborhood Pizza Joint With a track record for delicious pizza that goes back all the way back to the prohibition era of the 1920's, you'll taste the tradition in every bite of the slices you're served at Ginny's. Their Meatatarian Pizza is a carnivore's delight, with a mix of pepperoni, hot sausage, prosciutto, and meatballs creating a savory delight that will fill your belly. Take a look at their ice cream menu if you're craving a sweet treat. Ianni's Pizzeria You'll feel like a part of the family when you stop by at Ianni's. Treat yourself to their Popeye pizza for a unique treat, topped with spinach and almonds for a bit of crunch and drizzled with a zesty light garlic vinaigrette.
