Summer often signals the start of road-trip season. The time when you play trunk-Tetris with luggage, and pack the family in the car for a fun trip full of ice cream, swimming, and adventure. But does your family include four-legged members? Here are some tips on how to keep them safe on your journey.

Turn off the power windows
The switch that controls your windows can be easily activated with a paw. While some pets like to stick their head out the window, others may become over-excited, and see it as a way to escape a moving vehicle. If you're unsure how to turn them off, your owner's manual will instruct you

Bring a bowl, and water
Just like humans, pets need something to drink on a long road trip. Stash a large bottle of water, and a bowl in your car, and give them a drink whenever you st...

It doesn't make any difference if you're a small company or a big business, the need to cut commercial vehicle costs as well as maintain a fleet of vehicles that are able to increase your customer service and response time is critical to be competitive in any industry. With climbing fuel costs, the need for green fleet vehicles that offer better MPG averages is becoming more vital with each year.

Business Choice and Business Elite promotions are a good way for local companies to save money on upfit solutions and commercial accessories every time they invest in specific GM commercial ...

Sure, we've all heard of spring cleaning, but often times that applies to your home. Don't you think your Chevrolet needs a little love too? After all, it's been there through the Omaha snow, ice, and muck of winter. Often times the first thought is to drive your beloved Malibu, or Equinox through the car wash and call it good, but taking the extra time to add a few steps can go a long way to protecting your investment, and keeping its appearance up for years to come.

Back to School season is upon us and with it a new routine for many families. Driving patterns change for most commuters and being aware of driving conditions during this season is key.

For the 2016 model year, Chevrolet will offer Android Auto and Apple CarPlay† compatibility in more models than any automotive brand.

To get started, plug in your compatible Apple iPhone or Android smartphone to the USB port to enable certain apps to be displayed in the vehicle on the Chevrolet MyLink† display screen. Interact with some of the apps from your phone, similar to the way you're used to through voice controls or the touch-screen of your car.

Android Auto is Google's solution for bringing the power of your smartphone to vehicle infotainment. Basically you're using your phone to broadcast a new user interface onto your car's touchscreen, thus bringing the full power of Android 5.x Lollipop (and up) to one of the most-used screens you'll ever own.

When you connect yo...
