BATMAN WAS HERE!!!!

mbattel — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:27:30 +0000

Batman was here at Jupiter Chevrolet last Saturday!!! What a blast we had when he was here!! He helped us by picketing the service road with a sign letting all know that we had free hot dogs and hamburgers for all. He spoke with customers upon entry and exit to the dealership, and he was even kind enough to take photo’s with the staff and the kiddies!!! He even came to my (Melissa Battle) rescue!!!

THANKS BATMAN, YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!!

Congratulations to the Stansberry Family!!!

Mr. Bradley Stansberry and family are the proud new owners of a 2009 Tahoe Hybrid.

And guess how……

The Stansberry Family and their new 2009 Tahoe Hybrid

TXU Energy held a Holiday Sweepstakes where the winner would win a new 2009 Tahoe Hybrid. Mr. Stansberry casually entered the sweepstakes, not expecting much as the rest of us wouldn’t have.

The odds in this sweepstakes were 1 in 200,000, which is not that bad, but on the other hand is not that fantastically great either.

Well guess what! Mr. Stansberry happened to be that 1 in 200,000. When he got the call that he was the winner, he did not believe the person that he was speaking with. His wife did not believe it either. It took a little convincing for the Stansberry’s to believe that it was legitimate. After much convincing, they finally believed that they won.

He even got the opportunity to be on “Good Morning Texas” as a result of the sweepstakes winning.

The irony is that it was due time for this family of five to get into a new vehicle, considering that the one they had was 13 years old.

Congratulations to the Stansberry family, and welcome to the General Motors Family!!!

FOR the RECORD…..

To All, I could not let this one pass by, considering the recent news and events regarding the Big 3,
and what’s at stake for current, and future jobs for millions of people, and the risk of losing technological advances,
knowledge, and experience of our manufacturing capabilities.

For the record… Ford, Chrysler and GM’s contributions after 9/11 An interesting commentary…You might find this of interest:
‘CNN Headline News did a short news listing regarding Ford and GM’s c ontri butions to the relief and recovery efforts in New York and Washington .
The findings are as follows…..
1. Ford- $10 million to American Red Cross matching employee contributions of the same number plus 10 Excursions to NY Fire Dept.
2. GM- $10 million to American Red Cross matching employee contributions of the sam e number and a fleet of vans, suv’s, and trucks.
3. Daimler Chrysler- $10 million to support of the children and victims of the Sept. 11 attack.
4. Harley Davidson motorcycles- $1 million and 30 new motorcycles to the New YorkPolice Dept.
5. Volkswagen-Employees and management created a Sept 11 Foundation, funded initial with $2 million, for the assistance of the children and victims of the WTC.
6. Hyundai- $300,000 to the American Red Cross.

7. Audi-Nothing.
8. BMW-Nothing.
9. Daewoo- Nothing.
10. Fiat-Nothing.
11. Honda- Nothing despite boasting of second best sales month ever in August 2001
12. Isuzu- Nothing.
13. Mitsubishi-Nothing.
14. Nissan-Nothing.
15. Porsche-Nothing. Press release with condolences via the Porsche website.
16. Subaru- Nothing.
17. Suzuki- Nothing.
18. Toyota-Nothing despite claims of high sales in July and August 2001. Condolences posted on the website

Whenever the time may be for you to purchase or lease a new vehicle, keep this information in mind.
You might want to give more consideration to a car manufactured by an American-owned and / or American based company.
Apart from Hyundai and Volkswagen, the foreign car companies contributed nothing at all to the citizens of the United States …
I believe we should not forget things like this.
Say thank you in a way that gets their attention..
BUY YOUR NEXT VEHICLE FROM GM, FORD OR CHRYSLER.

James Martin who did not purchase a vehicle writes:

Hello Melissa,

I want to thank you for your time and effort on finding me the truck I needed. As I had stated, I was in desperate need for a truck ASAP. In my desperate search for the 1 ton, single rear whell truck I needed, an option opened up for a available vehicle. In my current situation, I had to chose this oppurtunity, as not having a vehicle was detrimental to my business and I hope you understand and regret not having the chance to do business and meet you. Could you please send me some of your business cards, as I would like to pass along the great effort that you put into trying to locate me the vehicle I needed. Please mail the cards to my address. Your professionalism and customer care that was displayed to me, shows your kindness, support, knowledge of the current market place and dedication to the dealership whom you are employed with….Congratulations.

TRULY SATISFIED CUSTOMER,
James Martin

J.B. Wascom writes:

Dear Sir or Madame,I wanted to take a moment to share my heartfelt thanks for the extremely pleasant procedures encountered in purchasing another company work truck this Saturday. In More than forty ears of buying new vehicles, I can truly say that I have never had a more pleasant experience from start to finish. I made a phone call and spoke to one of the Sales Manangers (Ron Ofner) . I told him the pricing I had from another dealership and he indicated that he would match or beat it. I did not think he could do so, but came anyway. I am located only 15 minutes from the dealership and by the time I arrived, he had a salesman (Keith Hill) on the lot finding a comparable truck. Within a few minutes, it was a done deal. I ended up getting a truck with just a bit more equiptment for less than $300.00 above what I was going to pay at a competitor with less equiptment.I do appreciate the promptness, thoroughness and professionalism I experienced from your dealership. You are to be commended for assembling a great team and providing excellent training.I will be returning in the not-so-distant future for my next company vehicle.

Thank You,J.B. Wascom

Ben Thompson Writes:

I wanted to take an opportunity to tell you about my experience at your dealership. I have been in the market for a suburban for some time now and have been in communication via email and phone for the past 6 months with Melissa Ventimiglia. Melissa is just the kind of contact that I needed as an educated, informed consumer. She was personable and seemed to work hard for me in order to make this deal work. She made it very easy for me to make the decision of purchasing from your dealership an 07 LT2 last week for my wife’s Valentines Day present. I can honestly say that the experience was entirely positive, from the minute I talked to her on the phone until the day the deal was done. Thanks to you and Melissa for a job well done.

Give this pickup truck the gold

mbattel — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 16:14:41 +0000

Craig Monahan’s Chevy truck is featured in an Olympics ad.

Not many pickup trucks have melted headlights and turn indicators, so I figured it had to be my buddy’s Silverado that appeared in a Chevy commercial during the Olympics coverage.

Sure enough, there was my pal Firefighter Craig Monahan beside the truck he had driven in from Staten Island on 9/11. One of the two off-duty firefighters with him had leaned out the window, imitating a siren.

“He’s doing, ‘Whoo, whoo,’” Monahan recalled.

They parked near the south tower in time to survive the first collapse and then the second. I watched Monahan immediately afterward crawl into the ruins to search for the 11 missing firefighters from his firehouse, Engine 24/Ladder 5.

When he finally returned to his Silverado, Monahan saw that the falling debris of the south tower had stopped inches short of his front bumper. The surrounding vehicles had been gutted by fire and the truck’s front lights had melted into what looked like huge tears.

The steering wheel had also begun to melt and the interior of the cab was singed. Monahan reached in to turn the ignition key and was astonished to hear the engine start right up.

Somebody operating a wrecker helped clear a path for Monahan to pull away. He changed a front tire that had been bubbled by the heat and he headed for the firehouse.

“The first victory of World War III,” Monahan announced.

Somebody salvaged the oversized nameplate from Ladder 5′s destroyed rig and affixed it to the side of the pickup that ferried them to and from The Pit over the days that followed.

The sight of them going by in this burned and battered truck with “Ladder 5″ bolted to the side always drew a rousing response from folks in the street.

“Every time we got in the truck, they were just cheering,” Monahan said. “It was American spirit at its best. … ‘You can’t keep us down!’”

The recovery effort ended and Ladder 5 got a new rig and the firehouse suffered a new tragedy when it lost two members in the Deutsche Bank fire last year.

The Silverado was back in Monahan’s driveway when Chevrolet called to ask about using it in a commercial to be shown during the 2008 Olympics.

Monahan was leery of cashing in on a tragedy, but he figured it could only be a good thing for people to see this pickup-turned-symbol. He gave the check to an FDNY family.

The commercial aired Sunday during women’s gymnastics and Chevrolet proved capable of more restraint and good taste than our politicians have with regard to 9/11.

The most overt reference to the attack was a silent shot of Monahan standing before the Manhattan skyline absent the twin towers. There was a closeup of those truck lights turned to huge tears and a shot of the truck with its “Ladder 5.”

“If that truck could keep going, we could all keep going,” Monahan continued, ad copy converging with truth.

The Olympic coverage continued to men’s swimming and the U.S. team swam the greatest relay race ever. The winners stood with their gold medals as “The Star-Spangled Banner” played and I thought of the survivors of Ladder 5 rolling by in that battered pickup.

“You don’t give up and you keep moving forward,” Monahan said. “It’s a beautiful thing.”

The Silverado is still in his driveway.

Jupiter Chevrolet Helps Diana Pangle & Girl Scouts

Csavage — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:55:13 +0000

We all love those delicious Girl Scout Cookies and can’t wait for the time of the year when the young ladies come around selling them. If you live in the Garland or Mesquite area there is a better than average chance that you bought your favorite cookie from 12-year-old Diana Pangle of Troup #2251.

Diana Pangle with Jupiter Chevrolet GM Michael Matetich

Diana says that she has sold cookies to friends, family, and people in her doctor’s office and other places like here at Jupiter Chevrolet where we contributed by purchasing 100 boxes.

Her efforts have helped her achieve “Bronze” status with the Girl Scouts, the highest honor for a Jr. Girl Scout.

So what’s the hardest part about selling so many cookies? “Delivering them”, Diana says which she and her mother, Tina, do one box at a time. Tina also serves as the Troup leader for 2251.

Part of the proceeds for the cookie sales go right back to the community. Troup 2251 recently donated 375 winter coats to The Hella Temple who in turn helped distribute them to local schools and to needy adults in the area.

Diana has been a Girl Scout for 5 years and has no plans to slow down any time soon.
