Social Impact Initiative

Consumers are increasingly more interested in finding companies that align with their values. Chevy has created its own social impact initiative called Chevy Cares. Chevy Cares partners with the American Cancer Society to help women diagnosed with breast cancer. Chevy also sponsors youth programs to give kids the opportunity to participate in sports. Other initiatives include disaster relief efforts and military memorial support. 

Innovative Convenience 

Chevrolet teams up with companies such as Amazon and Google to improve customer experience. Chevy connects its services to Key by Amazon and Amazon Alexa. Vehicle owners can use the Key by Amazon as a mobile locker for package deliveries. Once you download the mobile app, you can set up in-car delivery. You can also manage your vehicle through Amazon Alexa. Ask Alexa to lock, unlock, or start your car through voice command. These functions can also be controlled through Google Assistant. 

The Chevrolet Infotainment System lets you place orders, make reservations, pay for gas, find parking spots, and book hotels without the use of your smartphone. Chevrolet Marketplace is the first infotainment system to combine entertainment management with consumer transactions. Some of the Marketplace partnerships include iHop, McDonals, Exxon Mobil, and Yelp. As the feature grows in popularity, more restaurants and services will be available. 

Teen Driver Technology 

Chevrolet is the only car company to offer Teen Driver Technology. This unique safety feature helps young drivers avoid distractions and develop smart driving habits. Parents get an added measure of peace with an updated report card and pre-selected vehicle limits. 

• Report Card — On the infotainment system, you can pull up the vehicle report card. The report includes total distance driven and max speed. The report also counts overspeed warnings, wide-open throttles, forward collision alerts, forward collision avoidance braking, and traction control. You can use this report to identify your new driver’s strengths and weaknesses. 
• Buckle Up Reminders — The Buckle to Drive feature requires drivers to buckle their seatbelt before shifting gears into reverse or drive. If a driver is not wearing a seatbelt, he or she will be given alerts and remain in park for 20 seconds. Parents can also turn on a special feature that silences the audio until the driver and front passenger’s seatbelts are buckled. 
• Speed Cap — Parents can place a speed cap of 85 miles per hour on the vehicle. This limits the potential for reckless speeding on highways. 
• Stereo Volume Limit — A leading cause of accidents is distracted driving. Parents can set a volume limit on the audio to help your teen avoid loud distractions while learning to drive. 
• Speed Notifications — Speed notifications alert drivers with visual and audio cues when they are traveling over the recommended speed. 

Warranty Options for Newer Models

Chevrolet has a limited warranty of three years or 36,000 miles. This is an average warranty length compared to other car brands. However, Chevrolet offers a competitive powertrain warranty that covers the first five years or 60,000 miles. 

An extended warranty can be added to new 2018–2020 vehicles at the time of purchase. The extended warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles and has no deductible. Other car companies and third-party carriers offer better extended warranty options. 

MyChevrolet Mobile App 

The MyChevrolet Mobile App gives owners remote access to their vehicles. You can lock or unlock your vehicle, start or stop your engine, and start or stop your horn. The Chevrolet Mobile App provides vehicle location and status updates. Get notifications about your tire pressure readings, fuel range, and oil life. 

Other features include a rewards tracker that lets you use point towards paid services or future chevy purchases. You can also track your driving behavior through the Smart Driver feature. This information can be given to your insurance company to qualify for insurance discounts. 

Chevrolet Discounts 

Chevrolet offers a number of discounts for prospective customers. Discounts are available for educators, college students, military personal, and first responders. Find your desired model online and browse through the offers. Take the authorization number to a Chevrolet dealership to receive your special discount. These discounts can be combined with other retail offers.

• Short Maintenance Coverage

Short Maintenance Coverage

Within the first year of ownership, Chevrolet offers a free maintenance visit through a certified Chevrolet dealer. The qualified team of Chevrolet technicians provides an oil change, tire rotation, and vehicle inspection during the first visit. You can also earn points to be put towards another oil change by joining MyChevrolet Rewards. 

While Chevy’s maintenance coverage is convenient, other car companies offer longer maintenance plans. For example, new Toyota owners get two years of free maintenance. Jaguar offers the best maintenance program with free scheduled maintenance for five years or 60,000 miles.
